Strangely, Lena didn't reply but smiled at Ashley. Then she changed her facial expression instantly and
said, "Ashley, you're still as stupid as before!"
Before Ashley figured out what Lena meant, Lena suddenly pressed hard on her belly. She looked at
Ashley in horror, took a few steps back from her and cried, "Ashley, I beg you, don't do it. This is the
baby of Raymond and me. Ashley, please. I beg you, don't hurt my baby! Oh, no, my baby..."
Lena glared at Ashley in absolute terror and kept retreating. She kept pushing painfully hard on her
belly.
Ashley didn't realize that Lena was trying to frame her for the loss of her baby. She never believed that
Lena could be evil and cruel enough to harm her own child.
She quickly went to Lena and said, "Lena, calm down. Please, let me help you call the hospital. Your
baby will be fine…"
But before Ashley could finish her words, the door to the ladies' room was suddenly pushed open, and
Raymond barged in. Seeing the scene before him, Raymond stood stunned for a few seconds. Then
he said in a trembling voice, "Lena!"
He quickly went to Lena's side, pushing Ashley away. Carefully he held Lena up and said softly, "Lena,
are you okay?"
With too much blood on her clothes and her hair messy, Lena looked particularly embarrassed. As for
Ashley, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her except for her messy clothes.
Ashley was already dizzy after being pushed by Lena twice, and she could hardly stand. When
Raymond shoved her to the side, Ashley lost her balance and fell.
When Lena saw Raymond, she held onto his hand firmly as if she had found her support. "Raymond,
save our baby. My belly hurts. Hospital...Please take me to the hospital."
Raymond was shocked by what he heard. Not caring about anything else, he quickly picked Lena up in
his arms and ran outside. "Lena, hold on! Hold on, please!"
He was so worried about Lena that he didn't notice that Lena smiled proudly at Ashley as he carried
her out of the bathroom.
Ashley was shocked when she saw Lena smiling at her. It sent shivers down her spine.
'How could she be so cruel?
That is her own baby. It has already started to form, ' thought Ashley.
She felt as though her head was continually shaking. When she looked again, she could see many
figures of Andrew in front of her.
Ashley wanted to ask him to stop moving, but she couldn't make a sound.
She also wanted to explain that she hadn't caused Lena to suffer a miscarriage.
While Andrew stood in the doorway, Ashley tried to focus on him. But it was no use. She finally lost
consciousness. Fortunately, Andrew noticed and rushed over in time to catch her before she fell.
Raymond parked his car at the hospital. Then he quickly rushed out with Lena in his arms. "Lena, hold
on. You'll be fine. Don't worry."
Upon entering the hospital, Raymond shouted in the hall, "Doctor, come here quickly!"
Lena was placed on the gurney and then wheeled into the operating room. Raymond tried to follow
after her but was told to wait outside. He paced the room anxiously, staring at the red light above the
door of the operating room. Then he covered his face with his hands worriedly.
The scene of Lena holding her stomach while looking at Ashley in horror and backing away kept
replaying in his mind. Ashley was trying to get close to Lena while she was saying something.
There was a large amount of blood on Raymond's clothes, which made him feel embarrassed and
uneasy.
Raymond had only waited for a few minutes, but he felt as if he had waited for a century.
'Lena's pregnant? When did she get pregnant? Why didn't I know anything about it?' thought Raymond.
Finally, the doctor came out of the operating room. Raymond rushed over to him and asked, "Are they
all right?"
The doctor looked at Raymond sympathetically and said slowly, "The patient is fine now. As for the
baby, I'm sorry. We tried our best. You're still young. I'm sure you will have another baby sooner or
later."
'Our baby? Is our baby gone?' thought Raymond.
The doctor's words had shocked Raymond as if a bolt of lightning hit him.
He just learned that he was going to be a father a few minutes ago. But now, the doctor told him that
their baby was gone.
It had been less than an hour after he found out that Lena was pregnant with his child.
Seeing Raymond so upset, the doctor couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. He didn't say anything
more about the baby but advised, "The patient is grieving now. You may go to the ward and comfort
her."
The doctor was about to go when he thought of something and added, "The patient wouldn't have lost
her baby if it wasn't for something hitting her stomach with great force."
"Her belly was beaten by something with great force?" Raymond asked in amazement.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. It puzzles me as well. What could have hit the patient's belly with such a force?"
said the doctor.
The doctor didn't expect that the patient would beat her own belly cruelly, which led to her miscarriage.
After saying that, the doctor left. Raymond stood silent, trying to make sense of everything that had just
happened. He suddenly clenched his fists tightly. 'Who could have done that to Lena?
At that time, only Ashley and Lena were in the bathroom. When I opened the door, Ashley was trying to
get closer to Lena, but Lena was trying to back away from her.
Was Ashley threatening Lena?
Was it Ashley who hit Lena in the belly and killed our baby?'
Raymond didn't dare to think more about it. He knew that Ashley wouldn't possibly do such a thing.
However, after hearing what the doctor said, Raymond began to feel suspicious of Ashley.
He walked sadly into the ward. Lena was lying in the bed with a pale face, looking fragile and helpless.
When he saw her like that, he couldn't help feeling sorry and guilty for not protecting her better.
'Lena is my fiancee and she has lost our baby just now, ' thought Raymond.
Lena tried to sit up when she saw Raymond but failed. The miscarriage that she suffered a few minutes
ago had weakened her, and she was on an intravenous drip.
Raymond quickly walked over to Lena and said gently, "Lena…"
She fell into Raymond's arms and began crying out, "Raymond, we were going to have a baby. But our
baby was taken away from us. I'm sorry. I didn't think that such a horrible thing would happen to me. I
wanted to surprise you. But before I had the chance to tell you, I ran into Ashley. I told her about the
good news since we have made up with each other. But I didn't expect that Ashley would react like
that." Lena burst into tears and buried her face into Raymond's shoulder.
He held her tightly in his arms without saying anything. Raymond was overwhelmed with emotions. It
was just an hour ago that he discovered that he was going to be a father. Only to find out a few minutes
later that his baby didn't make it. It was a tough pill for him to swallow.
Between sobs, Lena said, "Why would Ashley do this to me? I have already apologized to her. I have
done everything I could to make up with her. Even if she hated me, our baby was innocent.
How could she do such a horrible thing? Why did she have to kill my sweet baby?"
