Chapter 80
Chapter 5
Chapter 5
The abortion was done under general anesthesia. When I woke up, I had no idea how much time had passed.
I put my hand on my stomach, and tears started flowing without me even realizing it.
This morning I’d been so excited to welcome him into the world.
In less than a day, I’d lost him.
The room was empty. I threw off the blanket and tried to get up despite the pain in my abdomen, desperate to leave.
This hospital was full of murderers. I couldn’t stand being here another second.
I’d barely made it to the door when I heard Sloane’s voice.
“Damon! Have you lost your mind p>
“She betrayed you, got pregnant with someone else’s baby, and tried to make you raise it p>
“After everything she’s done to you, you still want to stay married to her? A woman like that, and you won’t even divorce her p>
Damon’s voice was still cold, but the rage from earlier was gone.
“While she was in surgery, I had time to think p>
“As much as her betrayal hurts, I think losing her would hurt more p>
“My head’s all messed up right now, but I don’t want a divorce. Even if we torture each other, she has to stay by my side p>
I’d just had surgery and barely had any strength left. My knees almost gave out.
Maybe they heard me moving around, because the door opened right after I steadied myself.
Seeing me standing by the door in my hospital gown, Damon frowned.
“You just had surgery. Why are you out of bed p>
I’d already lost my baby. I had nothing left to lose.
I let out a bitter laugh, looking at the man in front of me.
“I’m disgusted. This hospital, even the air here makes me sick p>
“You know I just had surgery. If I stay here, I’ll die. I can’t survive this p>
“So, Damon, let me go p>
With every word I spoke, Damon’s frown deepened.
Sloane shot me a cold look, not bothering to hide her contempt.
“Damon, I feel so bad for you. You still can’t let her go p>
Chapter 5
“Look at her-she just woke up and already can’t wait to get away from you. She doesn’t want to be with you at all p>
“Looking at Miss Carter like this, I bet she wants to run crying to her boyfriend p>
Damon’s face darkened. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to the bed.
“Chloe! Do you have any heart at all p>
“I really underestimated you. All these years, and I never knew what a shameless woman you are p>
“You want to leave? As long as I’m here, you’re not going anywhere p>
Damon threw me down on the bed so hard that what little strength I had left completely disappeared.
I stared straight up at the ceiling, tears flowing unconsciously from my eyes and soaking my hair.
After a while, Sloane left, and Damon just sat quietly beside the bed, staring at me.
He let out a long sigh, his voice choked with emotion.
“Chloe, what am I supposed to do with you p>
“If you really want kids, once you’re better, we can adopt one, okay p>
“I forgive you for this. We’ll never talk about it again, and we’ll have a good life together p>
I kept staring at the ceiling. The hospital lights were so bright they hurt my eyes.
“Damon, why won’t you just believe me once p>
“I’m not going to live with you anymore. We don’t have a future p>
The second I said that, Damon shot to his feet, his eyes full of venom.
“Believe you? How am I supposed to believe you p>
“I have azoospermia, but you say the baby’s mine. You go to a hotel with another man, but you say he’s your brother. There’s no record of any calls, but you insist you called me multiple times p>
“Just now you even tried to blame Sloane and her mother. How am I supposed to believe you p>
Hearing his accusations one after another, the last thread holding me together finally snapped.
I closed my eyes, refusing to look at him anymore.
Damon grabbed my chin, forcing me to open my eyes and look at him.
“Say something! Aren’t you good at talking p>
“You’re that desperate to find your boyfriend? You can’t stand the sight of me p>
“Bring him here! Right now p>
Before I could answer, a furious male voice reached our ears.
“I’m here! Mr. Reed p>
