Chapter 113 I’m Pregnant, Nicholas.
Nancy’s head slammed hard against the steering wheel.
She couldn’t remember how many times the car had tumbled on the ground, only that her head felt as though it had been spli, open like an overripe watermelon, and her body felt like it had fallen apart.
Eventually, the car stopped tumbling.
Nancy saw the vehicle that had caused the accident driving away as if nothing had happened. through the rearview mirror. It even moved farther and farther away from her line of sight.
Her head felt like it was about to explode, but she still had a sliver of consciousness.
She struggled to turn her head and soon realized that the driver, who was seated beside her, was now lying against the steering wheel. It was clear that he was far from well, considering blood flowing down the wheel like a bloody river.
“Sir… Sir….” Nancy forced herself to shout desperately with every ounce of strength left in her body.
“Sir, wake up. Please wake up. You have to hold on. You need to hold on.”
Nancy felt tears running down her cheeks in her desperate attempt to wake the driver. Alas, none of her efforts worked. The driver remained unconscious.
Furthermore, more blood was oozing out of his head, filling the enclosed car with the metallic smell of blood.
Nancy had assumed that the smell of blood was coming from the driver until she felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her lower abdomen, followed by a rush of warmth.
She instantly had a very bad premonition.
“Baby…”
“Baby…”
Nancy cried out as she desperately shouted for help.
She wanted to get out of the car and go to the hospital, but the door was blocked. To make matters worse, the rain was pouring heavily. There were hardly any cars on the road, so her cries. for help went unheard.
What could she do? How could she manage this situation?
“Baby, please be alright. You have to be okay. What will I do if something happens to you?” she
sobbed.

“Baby, hang in there. I will definitely save you.”
“Baby, please. Please be fine. Don’t leave me.”
Nancy’s tears flowed like a faucet. She was terrified of dying.
Her heart felt like it had plummeted into an abyss, leaving her in a state of panic.
“No. Nancy. Don’t panic. You can’t lose control now. You need to stay calm,” she told herself.
“Only by staying calm can you and baby be saved.”
She took deep breaths and pinched her palm, trying to keep herself awake and composed.
She knew that panicking wouldn’t save anyone. Instead, she needed to stay calm to find a solution.
Right. My phone!
She still had her phone and could make a call!
Unfortunately, she had no idea where her phone had ended up after the violent impact earlier.
Nonetheless, she forced herself to remain calm and began searching methodically.
Eventually, she found her phone on the front seat’s carpet. At that moment, relief washed over her, but the phone was still too far away. Thus, it was far from an easy task to reach her sliver of hope.
She felt on the verge of breaking down as she cried in despair.
At that moment, all her emotions started brewing in her chest.
Nancy desperately bent over, trying to reach for her phone behind her.
Her arms were too short, so she took off her shoes, placed her hand inside, and used the pointed front of the shoes to slowly inch the phone closer.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring like cats and dogs. It was bitterly cold, and the strong. wind was relentless in its assault.
On the contrary, Nancy was drenched in sweat inside the car. She had bent her body as far as she could go while she struggled to reach forward.
Her entire body was covered in cold sweat due to the pain, especially her lower abdomen. It was at piercing pain that felt like someone was stabbing her with needles.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t give up now.
She finally managed to get hold of her phone. At that very moment, she couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.

Alas, she noticed the phone wasn’t working as it should be. It had to have been damaged during the violent collision.
She held the phone and repeatedly tried to turn it on. The phone finally powered up after countless attempts.
At that moment, she instinctively called Nicholas without thinking twice.
It rang twice before he answered.
“Nicholas, save me!” Nancy cried out.
On the other end, Nicholas immediately sensed something was wrong and anxiously asked, “What happened, Nancy?”
“I… I’ve been in a car accident and can’t get out of the car. Nicholas, please hurry. Come and save
me.”
Hurry. You need to hurry up. Our baby would be in danger if you were even a second later.
When she made the call, she was holding onto all her hopes. She once thought that even if Madelline had been kidnapped, there shouldn’t be an immediate threat to her life as long as the criminals hadn’t received the money.
Moreover, she believed that it was highly likely that Madelline was orchestrating all of this herself just to deceive Nicholas.
But what about her?
She was different. She had been in a car accident, and her life hung in the balance. She could die if she failed to receive immediate treatment.
However, she never expected that Nicholas would question her words.
“Nancy, I don’t find the joke funny at all,” he said.
When these words reached her ears, she tried to move her lips but suddenly realized that her face had frozen.
She wanted to smile but couldn’t; she wanted to cry but couldn’t do that either.
A joke?
“Are you saying that I’m lying to you?”
It turned out that he had arrived at this conclusion.
This was the response she received after making that desperate call at a critical moment.
The car was cramped as it was filled with hot air from the engine, the smell of blood, and human

breath. Regardless, Nancy felt like she was in an ice cellar, her heart frozen.
It was really cold, so freezing that she felt like her heart could get frostbitten if she touched her chest.
The pain in her head was getting worse, but she could endure that.
What hurt the most was the pain in her lower abdomen. Her breathing was becoming increasingly irregular, and she could only gasp heavily to relieve the pain.
“Nicholas, I’m not lying to you. I don’t need to lie to you. I’m really injured. I just got into a car accident with the driver. I’m in so much pain, my whole body hurts. Please save me.”
She spoke a long string of words and was already groaning from the pain.
The pain was too much. It assaulted her relentlessly like an endless wave.
“Nancy.” Nicholas’ voice grew colder. “I had Lynn send you back. What do you mean you have a driver? I know you don’t want me to look for Madelline, but if I don’t, she might die. You said you wouldn’t stop me, so what are you doing now?”
Nancy wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
She realized that he believed that everything she had done was an act with the sole purpose of preventing him from rescuing Madelline.
“I’m not lying to you, Nicholas. I was really in an accident. Madelline will die, but what about me? What if I tell you that I’m on the verge of dying? With the baby.”
“Baby?”
Nancy clenched her phone. For her baby’s sake, she confessed the secret that she had been. keeping for a long time at her last moment. “Yes, our baby. I haven’t told you yet, but I’ve been pregnant for three months. It hurts everywhere right now, and I’m bleeding. I beg you, Nicholas. Please save us. Please save our baby. Please…”
