Chapter 1043 Where’s My Child, Leia?

Hera sat up and chuckled. "That defective baby in your stomach? Heheh, you should thank me instead. If you delivered that baby, I'm sure that the Hiltons will disown you, even if you're already married. Consider this as a blessing in disguise. It's better that you lose the baby before you're married instead of being driven out of the household."

Leia clenched the hem of her gown tightly. Her stomach was aching, and she had to sit on the toilet. "You know that I only get to marry Brody because of the baby, Hera. I wouldn't have agreed to help you if I knew that I'd become like this."

Listening to Leia's accusatory words, Hera could tell that she would not tell Luke. If Luke wanted to take revenge, Leia would be the first victim. After arriving at that conclusion, Hera said impatiently, "Understand this, Leia, you volunteered to do this. No one forced you."

Leia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

She felt as though she was adrift at sea. She had lost the support of the Hiltons, while Wayne was like the waves that threatened to engulf her.

Leia said, "Are you sure that I won't tell Luke? If I'm going to die anyway, there's nothing I won't do. If I have to die, you'll die along with me!" "The marriage was canceled, right?" Hera did not understand. "Why would you have to die? If you keep it a secret, you won't have to die." "Wayne will kill me!" Leia was on the verge of a breakdown.

Everyone in A City knew that Leia had miscarried the child and that the child had congenital birth defects. It meant that Wayne would have heard about the news too.

If he knew that she had miscarried, he would definitely kill her!

Leia shuddered uncontrollably when she thought of that vicious face.

"Wayne?" Hera repeated. She remembered Leia telling her about someone called Wayne Blatt.

Leia shuddered again when she heard the name from Hera's mouth. "Help me kill him. Otherwise, if I’m dead, you won't get to live in peace either." "Alright. I'll make arrangements." Hera agreed to it immediately and rolled his eyes. As far as she knew, Wayne was a wanted criminal. If she let Wayne kill Leia, perhaps she would not be threatened by Leia anymore.

"Faster." Leia ended the call after saying that. It took her a long time to calm down after Wayne was mentioned. She tried calling Brody again, but she received the notification that the other party had blocked her.

The caretaker knocked on the bathroom door. "Ms. Norman? Are you okay?

"I'm fine." Leia stood up, flushed the toilet, and washed her hands. Her reflection in the mirror was full of resentment.

That was not the end of it. Even if Wayne died, she could not rest at ease.

She thought that Bianca was her nemesis, as though Bianca was born to oppose her. To get rid of her, she had to sacrifice her future.

"Ms. Norman?" The caretaker could hear the sounds of water from inside, but she remained worried. She knocked on the door again in case Leia was attempting something stupid.

Leia deleted the call records, then exited the bathroom without any expression on her face. She towered over the caretaker who was a head shorter than her. "What's wrong with you? Do you think that I'm dead?"

The caretaker felt aggrieved. She had heard that the retired actress had a bad temper, and she could tell from today that it was indeed the case.

"You should stay in bed, Ms. Norman. You've not fully recovered yet," she said.

Leia rolled her eyes. She walked back to her bed while clutching her stomach.

Before she could lie down, the caretaker brought the bowl of fish soup to her. "You haven't eaten the whole day, Ms. Norman. You should eat the soup before you sleep."

Leia looked at the fish soup resentfully. "That's because I was knocked out for the whole day. Who knows if the soup is drugged? I'm not eating it." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"But Mr. and Mrs. Norman made this soup for you," the caretaker said awkwardly.

"They also allowed the nurse to give me the tranquilizer shot. They probably wish that I were dead!" Leia glared at the bowl hatefully. "Throw it away. I'm not eating."

The caretaker was shocked by what Leia said. In all her years being a caretaker, she had never seen someone who would think that their parents would drug them.

The nurse could only do as she was told in case Leia threw another tantrum. If she had known that Leia did not want the soup, she could have eaten it herself.

From the ingredients, she could tell that the soup was very nutritious for women who had just delivered or miscarried.

Leia could only lie on her side because of the pain in her stomach. She could hear the caretaker's movements. Following that, the light was turned off once more.

She could not fall asleep.

She decided that she should not look for Brody for now.

She knew that Brody must be still angry. If she went to look for him now, he might forever block her from his life.

She heard the door open. Leia did not turn around; she thought that the nurse was making her rounds. She continued to stare at the wall and think of her future plans.

Soon after that, she could hear the door close and lock.

Leia did not mind it until the footsteps came up right to her. She thought that it was the caretaker, and she turned around impatiently. "Don't stare at me. I'm not dead yet."

The room was dark, but from the light outside, Leia could see that the silhouette of the figure was very big, unlike the skinny and short caretaker.

"Leia." Wayne's hoarse voice spoke out as though he was the reaper, here to claim her life.

Leia shuddered and sat up. She lifted her head and looked at the man. She could not see the man's features clearly, which added to the horrific atmosphere.

"Wayne..." Leia sounded as though she was about to cry.

"Where is my child, Leia?” Wayne asked.

Leia opened her mouth but decided to dodge the question. "Why are you at the hospital, Wayne? There are so many people here. You'd better leave in case someone sees you and calls the police." "Call the police?" Wayne chuckled coldly and pointed at the caretaker on the couch, "You mean, her?"

Leia felt a chill course down her spine when she saw the caretaker slumped on the couch and not moving as though she was already dead. Did he kill her? Leia did not smell any blood.

If the doctor found out that the caretaker was dead, would he blame her?

Wayne could tell Leia's expressions even in the dark. He grunted coldly and said, "Don't worry, she's not dead."

Leia breathed a sigh of relief, not because the caretaker was still alive but because she would not get into trouble.
