lan walked over, pushing his wheelchair, and grabbed Maja's hand that was tightly gripping Darlene’s
throat.
Maja was already losing her strength, so she was easily stopped.novelbin
Darlene was almost unconscious, but lan’s arrival gave her a lot of strength.
In a hoarse voice, she said, "Mr. Raymond, save me. This woman is going to kill me. Please, for the
sake of the baby, save me."
The mention of the baby at such a critical moment felt like a thorn pricking into Maja's body.
lan'’s face darkened in an instant, but he heard Darlene continue to speak.
"I know you won't let me die. I am carrying your child. This woman is trying to kill our baby. She is a
wicked person, a disgusting beast! She's just like her dying dog, both beasts! Mr. Raymond, the life of
our child is worth more than the beast's life."
"Shut up!"
lan's voice was icy cold, like a knife stabbing at Darlene.
Usually, Darlene would be scared of him.
But she had just experienced a near-death situation, she was not afraid of anything now. She just
hoped to live. So, she tried to talk as much as she could about the baby she was carrying, hoping it
would be her lifeline.
lan ordered someone to gag Darlene.
Suddenly, Darlene couldn't say a word. Her mouth was full of blood, but she stared intently at lan and
Maja, then tried hard to protrude her belly.
At this moment, Maja had also woken up. For a moment, she really wanted to kill Darlene, even
forgetting the existence of the baby.
But when she woke up, she was even more in pain.
All the blood drained from her face, and her pale complexion seemed to be telling others: She was in
so much pain that she wanted to rip out her own heart.
lan saw Maja's pain and quickly reached out to grab her wrist, but she pushed him away.
"Take her away from here!"
Her voice was hoarse, as if she would cry if she said another word.
lan knew he had been misunderstood by her. She probably thought he was here to save Darlene and
that he came to save Darlene because of the baby.
"Maja.
lan just didn't want her to become a murderer, and he didn't want her hands to be filled with blood just
because of this woman.
However, he could do so. After all, he had taken countless lives.
But before he could finish speaking, Maja had already picked up her fallen phone and said
sarcastically, “Mr. Raymond, the life of your child is indeed more important than Coco, the beast."
Her words were like a double-edged sword.
Maja was mocking lan for caring so much about a child now and for coming here for the child, but he
had been ruthless towards the baby in her belly.
Her words hurt both lan and herself.
lan wanted to explain, but he was speechless when she mentioned their child.
The hand he was about to extend was withdrawn weakly.
Maja had already picked up her phone and walked out the door, apparently heading to the hospital
where Coco was.
No matter whether Coco could survive this time or not, she had to wait there until the result came out.
The interior of Rosewood Manor became quiet, and lan sat in his wheelchair, feeling like every second
was torture.
He looked in the direction Maja had left, and his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.
After a while, he took a deep breath, seemingly numb, and said in a low voice, "Let her go."
Maria immediately disagreed when she heard him letting Darlene go. After all, Coco's life and death
were still uncertain, the doctor had already issued a final warning, and now Ms. Pennyfeather might be
leaving just to see Coco for the last time in the hospital. Anyone who has a pet knows how painful this
is! How could Darlene, the culprit, leave so easily?
"Mr. Raymond, you can't let Darlene go. We need to wait for Ms.
Pennyfeather's decision."
This was the first time Maria had contradicted lan, whom she always regarded as her master.
lan, however, ignored her and said this to the bodyguard beside him.
"Take her away."
Only Jeff, who was standing not far away, knew that what he meant by “take her away" was actually "let
her die’.
Jeff hesitated a bit. After all, it was true that Darlene was pregnant. Did he really want her to die?
At this critical moment, the doorbell of Rosewood Manor rang again, and everyone thought Maja had
returned.
But when the door opened, it was Holden standing outside.
Holden looked around the room, seemingly unaware of what had happened, and frowned.
"What's going on?"
He looked at the bound woman. Due to the swelling on Darlene's face, he didn't recognize her as the
woman who had announced her pregnancy at the hospital.
lan was puzzled. Why had his grandfather come at this time?
Holden sat down on a sofa nearby. He didn’t see Maja.
"Where's Maja? Hasn't she been discharged from the hospital?"
Maria wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, she told Holden everything Darlene had done.
After listening, Holden slammed the table hard.
"Kill this woman!"
Holden's servant reminded him, “Holden, Darlene might be carrying a child from the Raymond family."
Holden snorted and leaned back on the sofa. "The child she is carrying is not from the Raymond
family."
He glanced at lan, sitting in the wheelchair. He really wanted to hit him with his cane.
"I have already checked the surveillance at Greenfield Gardens. Maja was also there that night. So,
think carefully about who you slept with.
