Chapter 214 Rock's Arrival
"Do you want me to kowtow? I can."
"Winnie..." Laura covered her mouth, astonished.
Benjamin and Jeremy both looked at the fearful woman in disbelief.
Her hand never left her belly, a mother's instinctual protective stance.
"Would it be enough if I beg you? This child will have nothing to do with you in the future. I promise not to use him to blackmail you or make you pay child support. He will be solely my child...
Lawrence R, you can't erase him no matter how heartless you are. You gave him life, and he's already seven months old. In two more months, he will be born. He will smile at me, cry, and be a living and adorable little one. He will grow up, call someone dad and mom..."
As she spoke, her heart felt like it was being sliced. "Even if you hate me, the child is innocent. Please don't take away his life?"
He flicked the cigarette butt between his fingertips, emitting cold fog in his deep eyes.
Those were his children, two of them, not just one!
Could he really bear it? It was this woman, shamelessly betraying him, making him unable to accept everything.
Not to mention raising his child and calling Rock daddy, having a happy family of four.
Just thinking about it shattered his heart. He was a man who stood tall and proud. How could his possession be stolen by someone?
So, it would be better if they were never born.
But his heart, filled with excruciating pain, surrounded him layer by layer.
In his mind...
He couldn't contain the thoughts of how much he had anticipated these two children in the past, how he had expected him to take good care of her, and expected him to take her for her first checkup when she was four months pregnant.
Even when he was injured and rushed her to the hospital last time, he wanted to be heartless, but still secretly kept the ultrasound scan sheet in his pocket. The more he expected, the more disappointed he became.
His mind was filled with hatred now, almost overwhelming him! He knew he wasn't being rational at the moment. But who could understand his feelings, the pain of having his pride crushed?
Watching her hollow bowing, he cast his dark eyes down, with a sharp aura surrounding him, his heart slightly trembling with hesitancy. The operating room fell into a standstill, a cigarette butt dropped, as if he had somewhat relaxed. Jeremy quietly approached, hoping to take the opportunity to make Mr. L regain some composure.
However, at this moment, a crowd of people burst into the hallway. Rock, accompanied by a group of police officers, quickly ran over. "Lawrence R, you have no right to take a life!"
Like an injured wild beast suddenly awakened, Lawrence R coldly glanced at the intruder. His eyes suddenly filled with a mocking smile, "Do you miss your old man, Mr. Harrington? You want to take my place, but I won't allow it. Doctor, proceed!"
Jeremy understood that Lawrence was angry, even though he had clearly seen Mr. L's sadness a moment ago. But Winnie was already frightened. Upon seeing Rock accompanied by the police, she clutched onto him desperately, crying for help, "Rock, you have to stop him, stop him!" "Don't be afraid!" Rock anxiously rushed into the operating room, gently holding her and standing in front of her, "Are you okay, Winnie?"
"I don't want to terminate the pregnancy!" Winnie pleaded in a trembling voice, her hands trembling as she tightened her grip on his clothes, afraid of being taken away by Lawrence R in the next second. Her dependence caused a slight movement in Rock's heart. He held her hand and comforted her, "I won't let him harm you or the baby. We will protect both of you, we have the law on our side!"
"Whose child is Mr. Harrington protecting? This is my child. Do you lack the ability to reproduce, Mr. Harrington?" Lawrence R laughed arrogantly, his eyes turning red with anger towards this bitch couple's interaction.
Many police officers gathered in the hallway, hesitating to act around these two most influential men in Lymington. Alongside them were Jeremy, Benjamin, Luke, and many nurses and doctors. The mocking words of the man drew everyone's gaze towards Rock, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Winnie felt that Lawrence R's words were too arrogant and hurtful. She frowned and looked worriedly at Rock. Lawrence R's eyes grew colder. Rock remained calm under pressure and said, "It's not your concern, but you and Winnie have signed divorce papers. Legally, you have no rights over her and her child. You have no authority to do anything to her unborn baby."
"I haven't obtained the papers yet, but I still have the power to do what I want, Mr. Harrington has no way to stop me.
"Police have a way!" Rock frowned and looked towards the Lymington Police Department. "Imperial Jewelry's CEO is exceptionally powerful, but I can also influence the Lymington headquarters. If you want to take lives for granted, then we'll resist. Let's see if you have the right to dispose of a life once the lawsuit is filed."
Lawrence R sneered, "You've gone to such great lengths just to be a cheap father. Are you really trying so hard to help raise my child? Seems like Mr. Harrington has quite the backbone."
Another mocking comment that hit the core of their beings.
Rock's eyes turned slightly cold, but his face remained calm as he smiled and said, "Whether her child is mine or not, it doesn't matter. I will treat them as my own. Unlike the CEO of Imperial Jewelry, you are too arrogant. I love someone, and I will love everything about her. I am now Winnie's fiancé, and I have the right to protect this child. I kindly ask the CEO of Imperial Jewelry to stop plotting against him. Otherwise, I won't be so polite!"
His declaration of sovereignty and heartfelt confession disgusted Lawrence R.
As a result, it fueled an even deeper jealousy, and he cast a disdainful glance at the woman, intentionally speaking harshly, "I didn't know you enjoyed picking up trash so much and also liked getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal?"
Winnie's breathing became rapid. There had to be a limit to his humiliation!
Rock held her tightly and said patiently, "Say whatever you want, Winnie, I have made up my mind."
"Mr. L! Don't let them anger you. It's not worth it!" Darcy arrived late, grabbing onto the man's arm. She glanced at Winnie, pretending to be innocent. "I know you're dealing with those hidden dangers for my sake, wanting to give me a perfect engagement. But Mr. L, we are about to get engaged, so let's not shed blood. Besides, isn't Mr. Harrington trying to pick up a ready-made child? Give him a chance! We'll have many babies in the future, won't we, Mr. L?"
Darcy's words only revealed that Mr. L ultimately couldn't bear to get rid of this despicable child today. It would be better if she played the good person. Then, after the engagement, she would handle this bastard, and Mr. L would never suspect her.
Lawrence R glanced at the stunned Winnie, who seemed to have placed him as her man. His heart had already grown so cold that he felt nothing. Holding Darcy's hand tightly, he coldly smirked, "Of course, only you are deserving of bearing my child!"
Winnie felt like her face had been torn apart as she watched these two people echoing each other.
Her heart had long turned numb. Her child was considered a "hidden danger," and he was indeed getting rid of them for Darcy.
Truly, he was a heartless man.
She struggled to conceal the bitterness and looked at them mockingly. "Many babies? Miss Ordelia seems to have forgotten that she only has one kidney—unless, in fact, Miss Ord
Elia asked tentatively, "Are you saying this subconsciously because your kidneys are intact?"
Darcy was taken aback for a moment, his face turned pale briefly, and he stammered in response to the man, "I just subconsciously forgot that I am disabled. Why would Miss Anderson attack me so viciously? Mr. L, will you let me have a baby?"
"That's enough," Lawrence R coldly glared at Winnie and pointed at Rock, "Do you think you've gained support from this person? You bitch couple, I won't let you off."
Winnie was furious, "What else do you want to do to me? You know very well why I got engaged to him!"
Lawrence R frowned. Did he really know? Wasn't it her shameless betrayal?
Darcy was slightly surprised, but she could easily handle the fact that she had purchased stocks in the name of Island Electronics yesterday.
She turned her eyes around and said, "Miss Anderson, don't play the victim again. Do you think Mr. L would believe that your engagement with Mr. Harrington is fake?"
