Chapter 4

"Ah! Liam, I'm so dizzy! Did I lose too much blood?"

With that, she closed her eyes and fainted directly into Liam's arms.

Liam glanced at me, then at the person in his arms.

In the end, he picked up Chloe and rushed out.

"Fuck you, Liam!"

Brooklyn's hands trembled as she dialed emergency services.

By the time they got me into the ambulance, my consciousness was fading. I passed out.

...

When I woke up, the sharp smell of disinfectant filled my nose.

Instinctively, I touched my lower abdomen.

A nurse's voice sounded by my ear: "Don't worry, the baby's fine. Very strong."

I let out a breath of relief and said hoarsely, "Thank you."

Suddenly remembering something, I asked the young nurse, "Is Dr. Scott in the hospital?"

"Dr. Scott?" The nurse smiled. "Julian Scott?"

I nodded.

"He took time off. I heard his girlfriend got pregnant, so he went back to prepare the bride price."

She sighed. "We didn't even know he had a girlfriend all these years. A few days ago we suddenly heard his girlfriend was pregnant and he was going back to prepare the bride price. Broke quite a few hearts among the young nurses here."

I smiled and touched my abdomen.

"After you're discharged, remember to rest well and take care of the pregnancy. Don't have any more accidents."

After giving her instructions, the young nurse turned and left.

I threw off the covers and got out of bed to handle the discharge.

Remembering I hadn't seen Coco in days, I decided to pick her up. The divorce proceedings were almost complete anyway.

But when I got to the pet boarding place, I was told someone had already picked her up.

"Half an hour ago, your husband came to pick her up. You both brought the dog here for a bath before, so when he came, I handed her over to him."

I thanked them and turned to leave, face somewhat grim.

But in the end, I still opened my chat with him.

[Is Coco with you? I'll come get her.]

He replied instantly:

[Come over. I'm at our house.]

Coco's bed, food, and toys were all at the house.

I could bring everything back at once.

I hailed a cab and went straight there.

The villa door stood wide open.

But the moment I stepped inside, I froze completely.

Coco's dog bed was a complete mess.

Several pieces of blood-soaked fur and broken bones were carelessly scattered on the ground.

The spilled blood had half-congealed, showing a glaring red color in the morning light.

I stood frozen in place, only the thick smell of blood continuously invading my nostrils.

Suddenly, a piece of brown dog skin, like a torn rag, was thrown out.

A coquettish voice rang out:

"Stupid dog. Finally dead."

Chloe walked out, her hands stained with blood, waving them in front of my eyes.

My eyes instantly filled with blood.

"You killed Coco?"

Chloe said carelessly:

"Who told her to bite me? Besides, Liam allowed it. He knew I was studying veterinary medicine and wasn't good at dissection practice, so he let me practice on her."

I grabbed a wooden stick from the ground, eyes bloodshot, and swung it at her. "Chloe! I'll kill you!"

Before the stick could hit her, a large hand grabbed it.

"Tara, haven't you caused enough trouble?"

Liam's voice was ice cold.

Seeing him, my hand holding the stick trembled.

"Liam, you actually let her kill Coco? Are you even human? Do you have a heart? How can you face her?"
