Chapter 74

I fell to the floor, and my stomach hurt again.

Last time, his kick nearly made me miscarry. The baby barely survived, and I couldn’t risk losing it again.

Holding my stomach, I stared in disbelief at Leland, who was both familiar and a stranger.

I tried to stand up, but I fell again.

I hoped my baby was fine. I shouldn’t have angered Leland.

Anyway, there was only one week left. I could handle it.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, leaned on the table, and stood up. I looked at Leland and shook my head.

I was extremely disappointed in him.

I turned to leave the bedroom. As soon as I stepped out, I heard a loud noise from the room behind me.

I rolled over and faintly heard Caitlyn crying. What were they doing?

I truly didn’t want to listen to their lies anymore. I even wished to sleep forever.

Before I could get up, a pile of clothes was thrown at me from above. Caitlyn stood near the basement, her hands on her hips, watching me.
