Claire is shocked and looks up at Leo's horrible eyes. All of a sudden she loses her language and sits up. She tightly pulls the quilt and shakes her head.
Claire doesn't know if the shaking of her head means she doesn't understand Leo's question or she really doesn't know.
She is stunned and frightened. Isn't this baby Leo's?
Leo has a wry smile on his lips. It seems that he is making fun of himself.
"Well done! Claire, you marry me for more than a month, but you are two months pregnant. You say you're not a slut? You tell me, now..."
Leo growls. His moving Adam's apple represents his anger.
Claire is still shaking her head. Now her brain is blank. She is thinking, but she doesn't know the answer. She immediately grabs her hair and looks up. "It's a misdiagnosis. It is likely to be misdiagnosed."
Leo sneers, "except for the recent period, I rarely leave my semen in your body, because you don't deserve it. You're a slut. I will never let you have my baby. Usually you pretend to be pure, but you're pregnant with someone else's baby. What else do you have to say?"
Claire suddenly remembers that the stranger robbed her of her virginity in the hotel. Is it the stranger?
If this baby is really the stranger's, what should she do?
He took away her virginity and made her pregnant with his baby. What's more, she's Leo's wife now!
Claire feels that hell seems to be in front of her, and Leo is standing behind her angrily. If he pushes her gently, she will fall off the cliff.
"I don't know. It must be a misdiagnosis. Believe me. Let me have another diagnosis, Leo. I'm begging you."
Leo still keeps the sneer that makes her despair. He can't believe Claire any more. And this sense of gain and loss makes Leo extremely irritable and want to go crazy.
Leo grabs Claire's hand. He pulls her head over and says, "slut, tell me who the father of this baby is. Maybe I will punish you less, or you will regret."
"I don't know. I really don't know." Claire struggles. She says hurriedly, "No. We can divorce. Can you let me go? Leo, please, let me go."
Leo pushes Claire away. He looks down at Claire and says scornfully, "divorce? Stop thinking about it. Stay with me and get punished. You have to have an abortion."
"Abortion?" Claire is scared. He even lets her have an abortion?
With that, Leo turns to go. Claire thinks of the baby in her stomach and immediately takes his hand and begs, "please, Leo. The baby is innocent. I'll kneel for you. As long as you don't hurt my baby, I can promise you anything."
Leo looks at Claire in disgust and says, "do you think I will let you go again? Claire, I give you many opportunities, but you betray me. You deserve it."
Leo pushes Claire away again. He goes out and says coldly, "sooner or later I'll deal with this baby. Behave yourself."
Claire falls on the bed. She wants to cry but can't. Her mood is extremely complicated.
Her baby...
She weeps in silence and bites her lips. She must keep her spirits up. Anyway, she has to protect her baby.
Claire clenches her teeth and makes up her mind to keep the child. Whoever his father is, he is innocent. He is her baby.
When Claire is despairing, she hears footsteps. She looks up and sees Bryce who has gone abroad!
Claire thinks there is something wrong with her eyes and rubs them. She says in disbelief, "Bryce?"
Bryce smiles and nods. He sits next to Claire and frowns. "I heard you are in hospital, so I come to see you."
"I'm fine. I'm just a little weak." Claire smiles reluctantly.
But Bryce looks into her eyes and asks, "Claire, are you hiding something from me?"
Claire clenches her teeth and thinks she can't cheat him. She's really desperate now, so she tells Bryce about it.
Bryce is surprised to hear that. He frowns and says, "that is to say, you don't know who the baby's father is now? But are you sure it's not Leo?"
Claire doesn't tell him she was raped in the hotel. She just shakes her head and says, "I think this baby is Leo's, but the diagnosis time is wrong. I say it is misdiagnosis, but Leo doesn't trust me. I don't know what to do now."
Bryce doesn't know what to do. Claire is Leo's wife after all. If her baby is really not Leo's, Leo really has the right to ask her to abort.
Bryce has no right to take care of it at all. Leo hates his relationship with Claire.
"Why not divorce?" Bryce doesn't understand why Claire has been patient with him.
Claire says with a wry smile, "Bryce, do you think I'm a masochist? It's just that I can't divorce him."
Bryce grabs Claire's hand and says, "you can tell me. Maybe I can help you. I will do my best to help you."
But at the thought of her father, Claire shakes her head and says, "no, thank you, Bryce"
"Are you cheating? Mrs. Howard, is this man your baby's father?"
Emma suddenly comes in and sees Bryce holding Claire's hand.
Bryce releases Claire's hand and looks at Emma unhappily. "I'm Claire's brother. Although you don't know, you have to be polite."
Emma laughs and says, "brother? I think you are her baby's father. It's ridiculous."
Claire and Bryce look at her coldly at the same time.
But Emma continues to swear.
Bryce can't stand it and grabs Emma by the neck.
"Bryce, don't do that. She will die." Claire yells hard, but Bryce doesn't seem to hear.
At that moment, Claire realizes that Bryce who is always gentle wants to kill her. She wants to stop Bryce, but she is too weak. She can't get out of bed.
