Chapter 150 You Got What You Wanted

Aidan grunted and pulled his hand back. He looked at the wrecked black car and asked coldly, “Who’s

the owner?”

“We’re still looking into it, sir,” Jonathan said. “But a few families made their move tonight, including the

Crossleys. The Crossleys didn’t do much though. They probably only wanted the madam.”

After a pause, Jonathan continued, “Mr. Gordon’s men were planning to take the madam tonight, and

we’ve been keeping an eye on them, but something happened on our end right after they came down.

Mr. Gordon’s men were already down when we got there, and the madam was already taken away. As

for the mastermind, I—”

Aidan strode into the hospital, the look on his face still furious. “Who else but her?”

Jonathan knew who he was talking about. He kept quiet and followed Aidan.

The operation went on for ten hours.

Aidan waited outside for ten whole hours.

Georgina was standing in the corner. She saw Aidan waiting for Leanna, his hands covered in blood.

She bit her lip and backed off, but not before she glanced at the sign over the operating room’s door. I’ll

be nothing to him if she gets through this. He might have agreed to the marriage, but he never saw me

as his wife. I’m just an object for him. Just something he can use to make more money. He doesn’t love

me. All he cares about is her. She took a deep breath and left. But I won’t give up. Someday I will get

the respect I deserve.

…

The first thing Leanna saw when she woke up was a blinding white light. She opened her eyes with

difficulty and managed to focus after a long while. She eventually noticed the scent of antiseptic and

the beeps of the machine beside her. She spaced out for a long while, and when she finally snapped

out of it, she remembered something important. She placed her hand on her belly, but it was no longer

round. Instead, it was flat and covered in bandages. She pushed herself up with sheer willpower and

pulled out the needles in her. She wanted to get out of bed.

Someone came in, and Aidan appeared before her. He was shocked to see Leanna trying to get out of

bed, and he strode over to hold her down. “Are you mad? You could die!” He rang the bell and called

for the nurses. Leanna looked up at him, her face pale, and her eyes bereft of any emotion. “Where’s

my baby, Aidan?” He looked away. “It’s gone,” he said calmly. Leanna stared at him stubbornly. “What

do you mean it’s gone?” Aidan did not answer. Leanna grabbed his arm. She asked despairingly, her

voice raspy, “What do you mean it’s gone? You promised I could have the baby. You promised you

wouldn’t hurt it. You promised!” “Alright, enough.” Aidan hugged her in an attempt to calm her down.

“Now, calm down.” Leanna slowly stopped struggling. She felt helpless about the whole thing. A

moment later, she said coldly, “You got your wish, Aidan. Happy now?” Aidan froze, and his jaw tensed.

He asked coldly, “Is that how you see me?” “How else am I supposed to see you?” She pushed him

away and smiled. “You’ve been trying to get rid of my baby ever since you found out I was pregnant.

You’d give me half of your company just for that. Well, it’s all over now, and you won’t have to worry

about an unborn child threatening your spot.” Aidan’s face fell. “I know you’re upset, so I’ll let this slide.

Just get some rest.”

“Don’t. Please don’t let this slide. I don’t even see the point in living anymore.” She stopped for a

moment. “Does your fiancée know you’re here? I don’t want anyone taking this the wrong way, so you

should leave. Get someone else to kill me off if you want.”

“Leanna!” He gnashed his teeth.

Leanna had no strength to even talk to him. She turned around and refused to say another word.

He stared at her back and clenched his fists. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just

pursed his lips and left.

Leanna couldn’t hold it back anymore after he left and started crying her heart out, and she couldn’t

stop for a long time. Eventually, she started sobbing. She had lived her life so carefully over the last

seven months. All she wanted was for the baby to be safe.

Even so, they still refused to let her go. Everyone only saw her as a babymaking machine. They could

do anything just for the baby. It never crossed their minds that she was human too. She was a living,

breathing human. I relented again and again, but I still couldn’t keep my baby. It’s just like what

happened three years ago. Reality showed her how useless she was once more. Am I only fit to be

their plaything? Just because I’m a nobody? She closed her eyes, and tears drenched her pillow.

A nurse came to reattach the IV infusion to Leanna a few moments later. She said, “You’d better stay

still. The car crash was brutal. We still need to observe your wounds.”

Leanna stared outside the window silently.

The nurse said, “It was really dangerous. We could only save either you or the baby. Your husband

chose you. He loves you, and you guys are still young. You can still get another—”

Leanna said, “He’s not my husband.”

The nurse did not expect that answer. She paused for a moment. “Is he your boyfriend?”

“No.”

I see. The nurse stopped asking questions.

A moment of silence later, Leanna said, “What about the guy who came in with me? How is he doing?”

“He’s in the ICU. His wounds are a lot more serious.”

Leanna nodded. “Thank you.” She did not expect Ron to save her in the end. This is so ironic.

Before the nurse left, she said, “Don’t move around, alright? Just ring the bell if you need anything. I’m

always around.”

Leanna said, “Sure.”

The nurse had just turned around when Leanna asked, “Can you lend me your phone for a minute? I

wanna call my friends and tell them I’m alright.”

“Um…” The nurse hesitated.
