Chapter 4

Tia tugged at Orion's collar from behind.

"Orion, don't be like this. Clara is still pregnant after all. She deserves to be treated preciously."

Orion, who usually had a terrible temper, softened a bit after hearing this. But when he looked at me, his eyes still held contempt.

"If you could be half as sensible as Tia, we wouldn't be fighting like this!"

Exhausted physically and mentally, I had no energy left to argue with them.

Just as I was about to lie down and rest, Tia walked toward me with her cat.

She bent down close to me, "Clara, I know..."

Halfway through her sentence, the cat she was holding suddenly jumped onto my stomach.

The area had just been injured. When the cat scratched it, the wound tore open. The piercing pain made me sit up abruptly.

Startled, the cat panicked and leaped wildly around the hospital room.

"Snowball!"

Tia was frantic, desperately trying to catch the cat.

The hospital room instantly descended into chaos.

I clutched my stomach, my face pale, leaning against the pillow.

In her attempt to catch the cat, Tia lunged toward my stomach again.

The intense pain forced me to push her away.

Tia stumbled and fell to the ground, hitting the cabinet beside her hard. Her forehead immediately swelled up.

Orion rushed to help her up. "Tia, are you okay!"

His eyes were only on Tia. He didn't even notice that I was in too much pain to make a sound.

I laughed bitterly to myself. If the baby were still here, Tia and her cat's double assault would have been enough to cause complications during delivery.

Tia sniffled and wiped away her tears pitifully.

"Orion, I'm fine. Just hurry and help me catch Snowball!"

The cat that had been in the room suddenly jumped onto the windowsill and then leaped out, disappearing from sight.

Tia screamed and rushed to the window. "Snowball, my Snowball!"

Orion was heartbroken. Just as he opened his mouth to comfort her, Tia suddenly charged at me.

"Clara, why are you so vicious!"

"I just asked Orion to help find Snowball, did you really need to make it jump out of my hands out of jealousy! Don't you know you could kill it!"

"You cat murderer!"

She grabbed my arm and shook it frantically, secretly pinching hard.

I winced in pain and tried to shake her off, but I had no strength left. I could only grit my teeth and look at her.

"I didn't do anything."

Tia used the same trick again, suddenly falling backward. Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and caught her waist, preventing her from falling.

Tia leaned in his arms, tears falling at will. "Orion, without Snowball I don't want to live anymore!"

Orion gently comforted her. After helping her sit down, he walked up to me with a dark expression and yanked me out of bed.

My body hit the floor hard.

He only focused on dragging me toward Tia.

"Clara, apologize to Tia..."

Halfway through his sentence, he noticed something wrong and suddenly looked back.

Only then did he discover that my heavily swollen pregnant belly had deflated by half.

His face instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled.

"You, what's wrong with your stomach? The, the baby?"

At that moment, the hospital room door was kicked open.

Kalia quickly helped me up from the floor and glared at Orion.

"The baby is dead! Because when she was surrounded by Rogues, you abandoned her!"
