Chapter 596
She was truly terrified.
She had never felt such intense fear before.
Her own life no longer mattered.
But the child in her womb...
This was the only thing in her long life that was truly hers, that truly belonged to her.
She hadn't even had the chance to feel the joy of becoming a mother.
How could it be taken away like this?
No, this was too cruel...
She couldn't bear this heart-wrenching pain.
This was her flesh and blood.
"Vivian, when did you get pregnant?" Grace Harper asked in a panic, supporting her.
Seeing the blood continuously flowing from beneath Vivian, she was completely terrified.
"You're bleeding so much... What do we do? I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Her hands trembled violently as she frantically searched her pockets for her phone.
But the phone was already soaked by the rain.
The screen was completely black and wouldn't turn on.
"My baby... I want my baby... Don't take it away... Please..."
Vivian Bennett cried out miserably.
Tears mixed with the cold rain streamed down her pale face.
She weakly reached out her hand, grasping futilely in the air.
It was as if she was trying to hold onto the tiny life slowly slipping away from her body.
In her daze, she seemed to see a hazy halo floating before her eyes.
Was it an angel?
An angel coming to take her child away?
But deep down, she knew.
No matter how she struggled or begged, she couldn't hold onto that fading, weak heartbeat.
The immense grief that almost swallowed her whole.
The despair and helplessness of nearing death.
It completely broke her.
"Liam Sullivan... Why aren't you here... Why... Our baby... It's dying..."
Vivian's tears poured out uncontrollably.
Her hoarse sobs choked in her throat.
Her eyes were wide open, almost splitting apart.
A real, heart-tearing, lung-rending pain came from her chest.
Why... Why did it have to be taken away so cruelly the moment she learned of its existence?
She wished she had never known.
She wished she had never had this child...
Why was the world so unfair to her?
Humiliating her, tormenting her, taking away everything she cherished.
Now, it was trying to snatch away this last, most important hope.
She thought nothing could hurt her more.
But fate's bottom line could be shattered again and again.
She hated it... She truly hated it!
Seeing Vivian's heartbroken state, Grace couldn't help but cry miserably too.
"Vivian, I'll take you to the hospital... I'm sorry... It's all my fault... I shouldn't have run out... I caused this..."
Why was she so stupid?
Being deceived by a man was her own fault, her own retribution.
But her recklessness had implicated her cousin.
She should have been the one to get hurt!
Vivian fell from such a high place to save her...
She was panicking, completely at a loss.
Vivian had already been abandoned.
Now, even her only child might not be saved... What should she do?
A sense of foreboding gripped her tightly.
She felt that Vivian might... not want to live anymore.
"Grace Harper! What happened to Vivian?!"
Sophia Miller, who had rushed over with bodyguards, charged down from the footbridge in horror.
At a glance, she saw the shocking pool of blood on the ground, diluted by the rain.
Even someone as experienced as her was instantly terrified out of her wits.
She rushed over and helped up Vivian, who was lying in the pool of blood, her breath weak.
Turning back, she screamed sharply at the bodyguards.
"Call an ambulance! Did you hear me?! Now! Immediately!"
The bodyguards fumbled for their phones, trembling as they dialed the emergency number.
