In the hospital, Vivian had just sat down outside the operating room for a few minutes when Christian rushed into the hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was terribly sullen, which made people shun him all the way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you happy now?” He grabbed her wrist and asked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Utterly disappointed, she stared into his eyes and replied softly, “I didn’t push her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Each of her words was more determined than another. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Burning with rage, he refused to believe her. He tried to drag her into the ward that had been prepared for Jessica. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What are you doing?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked back at her with a malicious smile, “Now that Jessica’s baby is gone, you have to pay for her loss.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian was too shocked to fight back, “Are you crazy?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are driving me crazy!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t even take her outside. It was a narrow bathroom in the ward, barely big enough for two people. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian was about to clear the air when Christian suddenly grabbed her slender wrists and pushed her against the wall. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His skin was horrendously warm. She was too frightened to move when some subtle change took place against her thigh. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I never expected you to be so shameless!” He contemptuously held her chin, “All right, I’m giving you what you deserve!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You…get off me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He ignored her protest and took off his tie to put it in her mouth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hmm…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tears were running down her face. Their relationship was totally confusing. How miserable she was to suffer like this! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He got dressed and left when it was done, leaving her as broken as a tattered doll. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She staggered to her feet and got dressed when she heard the voices of nurses outside the room. She left the room and called Patrick from a public phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello, who is calling?” Patrick’s voice was obviously exhausted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was fighting back intense discomfort of her heart, “Patrick, it’s me…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Patrick instantly lifted his spirit and raised his voice, “Vivian? Are you all right? Where are you right now?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I want to leave here, Patrick, I want to leave.” She mechanically repeated with bitter tears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m taking you away, right now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But Christian put me in electronic shackles. He could track me down wherever I go. What should I do?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Resisting the urge to swear, Patrick took a deep breath, “…well, bear with him for now. I’ll get you out of there. I promise, he will never find you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After making an agreement with Patrick, Vivian hung up the phone. Standing there, she was at a loss as to where she should go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A bodyguard in black suits wearing a headset stopped her, “Mrs. North, Mr. North asked you to go to see him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The operation was over. Jessica awoke from anesthesia and heard what had been going on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Instead of getting rid of Vivian, Christian had slept with her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, she was too weak to smash the bedrails. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The pool of blood in the mall seemed terrifying. But it was nothing but blood bags. With the doctor behind the scenes, she just hurt a bone or two. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She had to take some risks to get what she wanted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On hearing Christian’s footsteps, she instantly became weak and delicate again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Christian.” She froze at the sight of the woman behind him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He sat by the bed and asked caringly, “Jessica, do you feel all right? You freaked the hell out of me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Vivian stood aside and said nothing. She had decided to play dumb. Yet someone still refused to cut her some slack. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What would you like for dinner? I’ll have it brought to you.” He held her hands and asked lovingly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica answered pitiably, “I’d like to try my sister’s cooking.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
