'Is he secretly attacking the city with me? ' Every time he had tried his best to take a space in her heart,
Hanson would appear and drive him away from the field without hesitation, making him become an
invisible person again.
What the hell! He was jealous and angry.
When she saw him, she couldn't help but shudder. She felt so inferior at the thought that she might be
pregnant with a bastard. She didn't have the courage to face him.
How could Zac possibly understand her feelings? He only thought that this was a sign of guilt after a
private meeting with her ex. He was jealous to death.
He didn't take her back to the Rong Mansion, but to the villa instead. He didn't want his family to know
that he was interrogating her.
Noticing his dark face, Essie didn't say anything but curled up on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. All
of a sudden, he pressed on her again and wanted to kiss her. Startled by his sudden act, she turned
her head unconsciously.
He shouldn't have touched her again. She was dirty, so dirty. Her whole body was stained and could
not be cleaned again. Even she began to despise himself. She felt himself disgusting and dirty.
He pinched her chin, and her deliberate dodge made him angrier. "Do you remember that you are my
woman?" He clenched his teeth and pressed her lips with anger.
All of a sudden, a stream of sourness surged up from her stomach. She pushed him away, covered her
mouth and rushed into the bathroom.
Hearing her voice of vomiting, he hit the vase on the table irritably. The vase broke into pieces and fell
on the carpet, and the flowers in it were all falling.
'Don't you want to talk to me anymore since you have just met your old love?' Even his kiss made her
feel sick?
How could she be so obsessed with Hanson? Was he really such a charming person in her eyes that
she could never forget him?
'You little fool, why can't you really love me? Why can't you divert your attention to me? Even if only a
little.'
He walked out of the room and sat in front of the bar counter. Pouring a glass of whisky, he raised his
head and drank it in one gulp.
He poured himself another glass and took a swig. After a long time, the alcohol did work.
It was very quiet in the villa. Faintly, a sound seemed to come from upstairs.
What's going on? Or was it just an illusion? In the end, he put down the glass and stumbled upstairs.
When he opened the door of the room, he saw that Essie was rolling on the bed with her hands on her
belly, looking very painful.
He came to his senses in an instant and rushed to the bedside. "What's wrong?"
"My stomach aches! It hurts!" She bit her lips and her forehead sweated.
He immediately called an ambulance and sent her to the hospital.
The door of the emergency room was closed for a long time before it was opened. While Zac was
anxious and wanted to kick the door open. As soon as the doctor came out, he rushed over and asked,
"How is my wife?"
"She had signs of miscarriage. Fortunately, she was sent here in time. The baby was saved."
Miscarriage? Baby?
Zac's head exploded. He finally understood why she always wanted to vomit these days. It was not
because she hated him, but because she was pregnant.
'Damn it. He treated her so bad in the villa and almost killed our baby. Damn it!'
He hit his head hard on the wall to punish himself. After the doctor pushed Essie into the VVIP luxury
ward, he hesitated outside for a long time, afraid that she would blame him and would not want to see
him.
When she woke up again, Essie saw him pacing back and forth in front of the door, hitting his head and
hitting the wall. She didn't know that he was feeling guilty and remorseful. She thought he was also
worried that the child was not his, and he was angry and sad. She was on the verge of breaking down.
She pulled up the quilt and covered her head with it. She cried out loud, and what should she do? What
should she do?
Hearing her cry, Zac rushed into the ward in a hurry. "What's wrong? Does your stomach still hurt? I'll
call the doctor. " He stood up and wanted to ring the bell, but was stopped by her. She looked at him
tearfully and said in a trembling voice, "Zac, don't worry, we will have an abortion, okay?"
"What are you talking about? I don't want you to hurt our baby." He took her hand and thought she was
angry. "It's my fault today. I shouldn't have been so angry. I hurt you. You can punish me or hit me.
Don't be mad at the baby."
Hearing his words, Essie knew that he wanted her to give birth to the baby, but what if the baby wasn't
his? Then what should she do?
"Icy guy, you're a liar. It's you who cheat me to take vitamin C. It's all your fault." She raised her fist and
hit him on the shoulder. If he hadn't given her the fake contraceptive pills, how could she have taken
such a terrible risk of pregnancy.
"You got me." He made a strange face and smiled.
"You are a swindler. You cheated me as the cannon fodder. You used me to keep out your mistress and
now have a baby. You are really a major swindler in history. I will never trust you anymore." She felt
angry and aggrieved at the same time. He was just fooling her into doing something stupid over and
over again.
"You have pushed me. You refused to have a baby and took birth control pills without telling me. I had
no choice but to give you a dose of your own medicine." He shrugged. There was no trace of guilt in his
confident look.
She pulled the quilt up so that only a pair of big eyes could be seen, hiding the struggling and hesitating
expression on her face. After a long time, she struggled to open her mouth. "The child is only two
weeks. It's probably a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival..." She stopped and did not say
anything more. She believed that he would understand. But he did not show any worried or unusual
expression. He just smiled and lowered his head, putting his ear on her abdomen. "Honey, do you think
it's a girl or a boy?"
"I don't know." She said in a low voice, thinking that he was deliberately changing the topic to block
what had happened in the hotel that night. Was he going to take a bet like her? What if he lost the bet?
She closed her eyes and felt extremely tired. The burden on her shoulders was far more than she could
bear.
"Honey, I heard it. The baby said she was a girl." The words of Zac interrupted her confused thoughts.
"Nonsense! How can you hear? It's still an embryo without a mouth now." She gave him a reproachful
look. If the child was really icy guy's, she hoped it was a boy. Originally, their mother was driven out by
Vicki because she failed to give birth to a son to inherit the wealth of the Xu family. Now, it was difficult
to be sure if Mary would do the same. She was just worried that she couldn't find an excuse to drive
her away.
"The point is I want a daughter, the same as you," Zac said with a charming smile.
"Humph!" She pushed his head away and said, "You saw that Valery is about to give birth to a son, and
you want me to give birth to a daughter, so that you can have a son and a daughter. In this way, your
dream will be fulfilled without regret, right?"
"It's different. This is mine..." He immediately stopped saying. He was so excited that he almost said
something wrong, "This is our baby. I only like this baby when she comes from you." He corrected her.
Essie mind was in a mess, so she didn't pay much attention to what he said. "A boy is better. In that
case, I wouldn't have to have a second child."
Stroking her head, Zac said, "This is our only child. We won't have another." One child was enough for
him.
She put her hands on her lower abdomen. His words seemed to comfort her in a disguised way. The
child was his, and it must be his.
"Zac, don't tell anyone in the family about my pregnancy, okay?"
"Are you worrying about Valery?" Zac could guess what she was thinking.
She nodded, "I don't know how she'll handle it if she knows I'm pregnant? The first three months of
pregnancy is the most unstable period. Let's wait for the first three months to come safely. "
Zac held her hands and decided to keep the secret from her for now. After Valery gave birth to the
baby, he kicked her out of the Rong family without any scruple.
Two days later, Essie was discharged from the hospital. They didn't go back to the Rong Mansion.
Instead, they lived in the villa. It was exactly what Zac wanted her to do. He wanted her to have a good
rest at home so as not to be disturbed by his mother and Valery.
However, it was someone who didn't want her to be alone, so she sent a photo of Todd to scare her
that night. When she saw his ugly and wretched face, she trembled with disgust, deleted it and turned
off her mobile phone.
Coming out of the bathroom, Zac saw her curling up in the bed with a pale face. He thought she was
uncomfortable, so he rushed to the bedside and held her in his arms. "What's wrong? Do you feel pain
in your stomach or want to throw up? " He asked nervously.
She shook her head and buried her face in his chest, grasping the hem of his cloth tightly with her
small hands. "I just fell asleep and had a nightmare. I'm a little scared."
