Chapter 18
Howell bit his tongue hard, and the taste of fresh blood quickly spread in his mouth. The painful sensation made him sober.
“Alianna, let’s terminate this fatherless bastard, I don’t want to see him continue to exist in this world.”
After speaking. he turned around with an indifferent expression, about to leave, but he was embraced from behind by Alianna.
“Howell, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, will you forgive me?”
“Before, you have forgiven me so many times, can you forgive me one more time? Isn’t it you who has indulged and shaped my character? You have to take responsibility!”
“It was really our child in my belly, and nothing happened between me and Wayne, do you believe me? Even if you don’t believe me, please give. me a chance. Let’s wait for 12 weeks and do a paternity test to see who the father is, and then make a decision.”
She tightly held onto his waist with both hands, her voice extremely weak.
Cool tears kept rolling down, wetting Howell’s back and soaking his clothes, also dripping into his heart.
His heart, however, could no longer feel any pain.
Howell was extremely indifferent, forcefully and deliberately breaking Alianna’s fingers one by one, not even caring about making her hand bruised and swollen.
“Alianna, the matter of abortion is not up for discussion, it is an
announcement. I did not give you a chance to refuse, this child cannot be kept.”
“In the future, if you want to have children with someone else, it will have nothing to do with me.”
The chilling words struck Aliamma’s heart, and this time she was truly.
scared.
“Don’t… don’t abort my child!”
She pleaded desperately, almost on the verge of kneeling down.
However, several bodyguards of the Swanson family dragged her expressionlessly towards the hospital.
On the cold operating table, in just a moment, the child was separated from Alianna’s body.
The child was gone.
Howell had not a trace of sadness, but instead only felt fortunate.
If this child had really been born, he would have had no chance to ask Faye for forgiveness anymore.
Now, he was gradually repaying the wrongdoings he had done. He would make up for everything he owes her, one by one!
Alianna had just recently become pregnant when she woke up shortly after having an abortion.
She covered her still slightly aching lower abdomen and instantly burst
into tears.
“Child! My child!”
At that moment, she felt like the sky was about to collapse.
We planned for so long, but everything went down the drain.
She was unable to get pregnant for a short period of time, and she couldn’t conceive Howell’s child either. Howell even started to hate her.
The Swanson family’s everything she couldn’t get, and the Pearson family’s fortune was also in jeopardy!
She couldn’t accept it!
Alianna cried in despair, but no one came forward to comfort her.
“Wayne? Where is Wayne! Don’t you know how to take me with you?!”
As she was about to utter the abusive words, Howell interrupted.
“Don’t waste your efforts, Wayne was involved in smuggling illegal drugs and has already been arrested, you can’t go in for now.”
“Really? Will I be fine?” Alianna didn’t understand his meaning and thought that Wayne had taken the blame, so it had nothing to do with her.
The next moment. Howell’s words completely shattered the illusion she shouldn’t have had.
“How is it possible? You haven’t even paid back what you owe Faye, how can you go in now?”
“Stanley, please arrange for the surgery to remove the kidney from Alianna’s body, which doesn’t belong to her, as soon as her condition improves in a few days. Of course, it is only right that the item is returned to its rightful owner.”
Upon hearing these extremely dangerous words, Stanley took a long time
to react.
“Howell, are you crazy? The removed kidney cannot be put back, and moreover, considering Alianna’s condition, she would die without this
Chester
kidney. Do you really want to kill her?”
Alianna also panicked and quickly pleaded in a low and submissive voice, “Howell, I know I was wrong. I can apologize to Faye. Please don’t take away my kidney, okay? I don’t want to die. I really don’t want to die!”
She lay on the hospital bed, constantly shrinking back, as if she wanted to crawl into the crack in the wall and escape.
Chapter 19
“It’s impossible. Faye’s kidney never belonged to Alianna. Even if it’s not. returned, it should be given back to Faye, allowing her to dispose of it as
she wishes.”
“There was no room for negotiation in this matter.”
Howell’s eyes were deep and forbidding, brooking no defiance.
Stanley was momentarily dumbfounded. He never expected Howell to be so ruthless when he fell out of love.
However, he couldn’t control Howell’s thoughts either.
After a long while. Stanley sighed deeply and said, “Alright. I will arrange the examination as soon as possible. What should we do with Alianna after the surgery?”
Howell nonchalantly spoke, “Temporarily keep her alive with an artificial kidney until she apologizes to Faye, then let her fend for herself.”
After saying that, he left the hospital without hesitation, not caring about anything related to Alianna.
From now on, everything of Alianna’s will be unrelated to him.
Giving up on this relationship seemed easier than imagined.
The heart was still aching faintly, constantly reminding him of the hurt he had once experienced.
Howell held onto his chest tightly, gasping for breath with difficulty.
But this pain was far less than what he had done to Faye.
After all, it was he who aborted the child with his own hands, it was he who drugged her milk when removing her kidneys, and even during the kidnapping, it was he who pushed her into danger
He hurt her so many, many times.
He also really knew he was wrong, really regretted it
How can he make her forgive him?
Unconsciously. Howell walked to the high school he had attended.
The security guard recognized him at a glance and greeted him with a smile. “Howell, oh no, I should now address you as Mr. Swanson. I never thought I would see you in person again. It’s been a long time since you last visited our alma mater.”
It’s quite a coincidence that Faye also visited the school not long ago. She said she was visiting the teacher. Are you here today for the same reason as her?
Howell was very surprised, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly grabbed the rough hand of the security guard.
“Has Faye been here before? Do you remember where she went? I want to visit the places she has been to!”
The security guard was stunned by his actions, and he looked at him several times, making sure he didn’t mistake the person before hesitantly speaking
After Faye visited the teacher that day, she went to the same forest as before. I’m not sure what exactly she did there, maybe you will find out if you go and see for yourself.
“Thank you!”
After receiving the accurate answer, Howell walked briskly to the small
Cluster 12
grove, following his memory.
He searched through many trees in a row and finally found the tree with Faye’s name hanging on it.
The scars on the trunk of the tree were extremely striking, clearly indicating that they had been recently made.
Howell had been racking his brain for a long time before he finally managed to recall a vague memory
In high school, he was a prominent figure in the school along with Faye and Alianna.
The three of them grew up together as childhood friends, but he only had eyes for Alianna, so he didn’t care about anything related to Faye.
That day, the brothers discovered the tree that said, “Faye likes Howell” and they all teased him, saying he was lucky to have both of the young plums circling around him.
He coldly said at that time. “I don’t need unimportant people around me. and Faye happens to be that person.”
Until now, Howell only realized that perhaps Faye had heard that day, so she gradually distanced herself from him, keeping her feelings hidden in her heart, afraid to approach or disturb him.
If five years ago, Alianna had not abandoned him, perhaps he would have never known that while he loved Alianna, Faye had also secretly loved him for so many years.
But now, the words she had written are gone.
