Chapter 6
Luca’s mind went blank, and he just stood there frozen.
It took him a while to find his voice again.
“Bleeding?”
He had just pushed her, and she did not look hurt, so how was she bleeding?
Then, out of nowhere, Genevieve’s voice popped back into his head.
“I’m pregnant.
“I
His hands shook as he fumbled for his phone. He called her number, but all he got was that cold, endless busy tone.
He did not dare think any further. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and headed for his car.
Yet, before he could even open the door, à soft body suddenly hugged him from behind.
For a second, he thought it was Genevieve, but then Cecelia’s voice rang in his ear.
“Luca, where are you going?”
Luca shoved Cecelia off him without a second thought.
His voice was ice–cold. “What are you doing here?”
Cecelia’s smile dropped. She looked confused, like she could not believe

how fast his attitude had flipped.
A suspicion flashed across her mind, and she blurted out, “Did Genevieve say something to you? Don’t believe her! She’s lying. She always lies to you!”
Luca did not have time for this as he needed to get to the hospital.
However, hearing Cecelia say that just made his blood boil even more.
“Shut up! She’s in the hospital right now, and you’re still trying to drag her name through the mud!”
Luca was so furious his head felt like it was splitting open. He shoved Cecelia aside and stormed off.
Behind him, Cecelia yelled after him, unwilling to let it go. “That’s just one of her tricks! How could she really need a hospital when she looked fine? Girls her age are so dramatic. Luca, don’t push me away just because of a few words she said!”
However, no matter how loud she yelled, Luca’s car did not even slow down.
Cecelia stood there trembling, hatred bubbling up in her chest.
She lowered her eyes, staring at the phone in her hand, and a cold, twisted smile spread across her face.
When I woke up again, the surgery was over.
Just like I asked, they got rid of the baby.
I lay there, staring at the plain white ceiling, my mind empty.
After some time, I heard a commotion outside the room.

It sounded like the scream of someone unwilling to accept the truth.
Then the door slammed open.
Luca stood there. He looked so pale it was like he had crawled out of his
own grave.
His eyes locked onto my stomach as he stepped closer, one step at a time!
“The baby’s gone?”
His voice was so rough it hurt to hear. It was like every word scraped his throat raw,
The doctor had already explained to him that it was my decision to let it
- go.

Luca refused to accept it. He grabbed my arm, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
“Why didn’t you keep it? That was our baby!”
I looked at him as I recalled every cruel word he had ever said, and answered calmly, “Why would I keep a baby you called an illegitimate child?”
Luca froze. It was like he had been struck by lightning.
”
His eyes were wide with panic. His mouth was moving, but no words were coming out.
After a few seconds of silence, a sharp slap cut through the air.
Luca’s face turned red instantly from him slapping himself, his eyes filling with regret.

However, the slaps did not stop.
“I was drunk, Gen, I swear I was drunk when I said that. I didn’t mean it.
“How could you believe that? Haven’t I done enough for you? Are you really going to punish me forever for just a few stupid words?”
He was crying like a child, his whole mind stuck on the baby that was gone forever.
