Chapter 46
Letitia could only admit, âYeah, youâre right.â
âYou were hell-bent on not donating blood because you wanted to protect the kid!â
âYes,â
Each of her admissions was like pouring fuel on Elginâs blazing anger.
âYou think I donât have the guts to kill you? Letitia, donât flatter yourself too much!â
Letitia looked up defiantly, âIâve never thought that. Come on, Elgin, do it, kill me now.â
She closed her eyes. Letitia knew that once the child was discovered, her days were numbered.
Elgin simply could not stand any trace of betrayal thatâs just who he is!
âBravo, youâre really something.â Elginâs grip tightened, âDo you really think I want to keep you around to torment you day and night and thatâs why I canât bear to finish you off?â
The air was slowly being squeezed from Letitiaâs lungs, and her breathing was getting rough.
Her brain was gradually starving for oxygen, and at this rate, she wouldnât last another twenty seconds.
She was going to die at Elginâs hands.
Just when Letitia thought this was the end of the line for her, Elgin suddenly let go.
A rush of air flooded in, and she coughed violently, her whole chest numb with pain.
âNo, Letitia, you shouldnât die like this, Elginâs voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, âYou should see with your own eyes how the child youâre so desperate to protect will leave your body.â
Her eyes widened in shock.
âFive weeks, probably not fully formed yet, just a tiny embryo.â
âElginâ¦â Letitiaâs voice trembled. This was too cruel!
âItâs okay.â Elgin smirked, âEven if itâs just a tiny embryo, Iâll make sure the doctor takes it out intact, so you can get a good look at what this bastard⦠looks like!â
Turns out he wasnât going soft at all but was planning the most horrifying way to punish her.
âJust kill me, Elgin, do it now!â
âFirst, Iâll snuff out the child, then itâs your turn!â
His aura of malice was about to completely devour her.
Letitia couldnât stomach the imagery⦠the small life being ripped from her womb, with her having to witness the ordeal. It was worse than death.
The car had stopped in Ivory Towers at some point.
The driver had left the car, not daring to make a sound.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy.
Outside, the lights blazed bright, but no one dared to approach the vehicle.
âLetitia, whoâs the father, Elgin straightened up, his expression chilling.
Letitia just shook her head.
âNot talking? Donât want to spill? He sneered, âItâs Waldenâs, Isnât it?â
Letita denied it. âItâs not! Itâs not his!â
The more you deny it, the more it proves the child is his.â
Chapter 46
âItâs really not!â
Elgin asked, âThen tell me, who is the childâs father?â
âItâs âLetitia didnât even know herself! Itâs ridicule to think about. She fought so hard to protect this child, yet the childâs father was always absent. It was just her fighting alone.
Maybe thatâs just her fate, always battling solo.
âI donât know who he is.â Letitia answered, âI didnât even⦠see his face clearly.â
Elgin scoffed, âYouâre quite the liar. Keep making stuff up, I want to see how outrageous your lies can get!â
âItâs true! Iâm not lying!â
âYou donât know who he is, but you let him sleep with you?â
Letitia clenched her teeth, overwhelmed with shame, I was set upâ¦â
âYou were set up, Elginâs voice overpowered hers, âYouâre innocent, pure, clean, right?â
As the words fell, he yanked her hair to bring her face close to his, âFive weeks pregnant⦠Letitia, back then, you were still in the mental institution. Tell me, which scumbag did you mess around with?â
She was powerless to explain, âI really didnât.â
âOr maybe in the mental institution, you were the woman everyone could have, did you trade your body for a safe life?â
He used to think she was untainted, carrying an aura of purity and cleanliness. Thinking about it now, this woman really knew how to deceive! He was almost fooled by her!
Letitia bit her tongue, using the pain to keep herself awake, âIâve already told you everything. It was just that one time, that one night, I donât know who that man was⦠He probably doesnât even remember me now. You donât believe me, I canât help it.
âLike hell I believe you!â Elgin jumped out of the car and yanked Letitia out too.
She was practically dragged on the ground.
He was relentless, hauling Letitia over the ground. She attempted to scramble to her feet, but repeatedly collapsed as she failed to match his furious pace. Even so, Letitiaâs other hand still firmly protected her stomach.
Blood bonds are often considered unbreakable. But the more she resisted, the angrier Elgin became She was prioritizing an illegitimate child over her own life!
âWhere are you taking me? Seeing the gates of Ivory Towers, Letitia asked, âCould it be⦠to the hospital?!â
âThatâs right. Letitia, youâre going to abort the child right now!â
Elgin couldnât wait another moment! Letitia, this woman, deserved to die a million times over!
âNo, I wonât go!â Letitia started to struggle fiercely, resisting.
Even as Elgin dragged her along, she tried everything to dig into the ground, to stop him from moving forward. But her strength was no match for Elginâs.
Due to exerting too much force, her nails broke off, but she still couldnât stop Elginâs advance.
âDonât, please⦠Elgin⦠no⦠Letitia cried out in desperation.
Security guards, servants, and the butler could only stand far away, not daring to step forward.
Who in their right mind would want to prod this raging lion at a time like this?
Just as they were about to step out of Ivory Towers, suddenly, car headlights flickered, and a vehicle from the Ramirez Mansion slowly drove towards them
Elgin stopped in his tracks, and seizing the moment, Letitia quickly got up from the ground.

Elginâs lips were pressed tight, offering no response.
âWhatâs the matter, cat got your tongue? If she isnât pregnant-keep on trying. But if youâve got good news, spill the beans already. Come on, Letitia, how did it turn out?â
Letitia kept her head down.
Just then, a gentle evening breeze started to blow, sending the pregnancy test report that had fallen beside the car dancing into the air.
