Rift in the perfect picture

Chapter 0208

His cruel tone made my heart tremble. I thought Nicholas‘ reaction made sense. As far as he was concerned, I simply slipped. There was no need to overreact.

However, Yasmine was freaking out so much roared, “You jerk! Hurry up. Ari is-”

he cried as she

I gripped Yasmine’s hand to stop her from 1.nishing that sentence. I shifted my gaze to Nicholas. My throat couldn’t move for what felt like an eternity.

It was only a few seconds, but so much had run past my mind. No. one was there to celebrate my baby’s arrival. I wondered if that meant the baby also had to be alone during departure.

I also wondered how Nicholas would react if he learned that he lost his child because of that so–called simple fall. A part of me

questioned if he would shed even a drop of tears for the baby that never got to live.

I was in so much pain that I couldn’t speak. When I thought about how I might lose my baby just like that, hatred instantly spread out in my heart.

I thought about if my baby would want his father to send him off. It also occurred to me that I shouldn’t have to mourn my unborn child or be devastated alone.

Nicholas‘ gaze was eerily unpleasant. It seemed that he didn’t want me to continue glaring at him like that, so he slowly made his way over and reached out to me. His eyes showed no emotion.

Eventually, he impatiently asked, “Are you hurt?”

My fingers rested in his palm. A burning sensation engulfed me immediately, and it was so hot tho was battling the temperature.

When I spoke, my voice was ridiculously coarse. “I think I broke my leg. It hurts so much. Will you take me to the hospital?”

Nicholas chuckled. His handsome face radia suddenly let go of my hand and let my arm i

usement. He

o the floor.

After that, he said, “Claudia’s school is putting un a show, and they’re having a rehearsal. She asked me to go watch.” As he spoke, he turned around.

I stared at his back as he walked away. The sting in my eyes hurt about as much as my womb. I closed my eyes, but even then, it felt as though I was watching him slowly move out of my sight.

Nicholas left. When the ambulance brought me to the hospital, I only

had Yasmine with me.

She never blamed me for pushing her. Instead, she secretly wiped her tears because she didn’t want me to see her crying. She was also on her own when she helped me.

The doctor said that I had to stay in bed to protect the baby. He also said that I could have a miscarriage at any moment.

“I will keep an eye on you, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!” ordered Yasmine firmly.

I didn’t have the guts to do anything impulsive, nor did I have the guts to have any wild thoughts. I simply kept my mind blank and rested in the hospital bed for a fortnight.

My mind avoided thinking about Nicholas or Claudia or anyone who might drain me of my energy. The only concern that I had in my mind was whether my baby was safe.

That went on until Pete called me to tell me that something had happened to Jasmine.

A criminal followed her and kicked her me

sly in her womb.

They hurt her so much that she lost the ability to have a child.

Hearing that news made my womb hurt once more. It was as though

I could feel Jasmine’s pain. I thought that we wonen truly were pitifully weak.

Like most, I was shocked at how cruel Claudia was. I wondered if things would have turned out differently if I had warned Jasmine about Claudia beforehand.

That w

when I realized I should do something. It was time I kept up my end of my deal with Daniel.

When Yasmine went to the law firm to work, I asked around to learn where Jasmine was staying. Then, I bought a bouquet and went to visit her.

She had her face to the side and was lying on the bed as though she were a cripple. Countless saline bags were queueing up and waiting to be used on her. Jasmine had become so thin that her face looked. off..

It was like she was a skull with a pair of eyes installed. When she stared at me, her gaze was blank, and that made her seem even more ghostly. Her breath was also uneven.

Her lips trembled lightly. When she saw me, tears rolled down her

cheeks, and she asked, ‘Mrs. Hawk why must you hurt me like this?”
