Chapter 18 How do you get rid of Ruth's family

The office door suddenly opened.
"Ezra! Why did you do this?"
He did not expect her to come. The man had his glasses on the bridge of his nose that had yet to be taken off.
His nose was high and his eyes were deep and cold. When he wore glasses to work, he looked refined.
Only Arabella knew what a cold-blooded and ruthless heart was hidden under this refined appearance.
The man's gaze fell on her. When he saw her dress clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said casually, "What? Stop hiding in James' family? I thought you are very stubborn."
The man's mocking tone hurt Arabella's heart. She raised her head and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. "What do you want to do to let us go?"
The woman's wide pajamas revealed her thin white neck, looking fragile and beautiful.
Ezra's eyes darkened and somehow he felt a little irritated.
"I already told you, Ruth's family deserves it! You want me to let you go? No way!"
"You..." Arabella widened her eyes, and her little face became red because of anger.
She clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the urge to rush up and fight him to the death.
Thinking of Ruth's family's current predicament, thinking of her mother's choking voice over the phone, in an instant, Arabella suddenly lost her courage. Her tightly clenched fists quietly loosened, and she looked up at the man in front of her with a sorrowful gaze. "Is it because of me that you ruined Ruth's family like this? Ezra, you hate me so much that you want to destroy the entire Ruth's family?"
"You think I did all this because of you?" Ezra glanced at her with disgust, and the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile. "I will make you pay for what your parents have done and what you have done to Beth!"
Arabella could no longer hold it in and rushed forward like a crazy woman. She grabbed the man's collar and cried hysterically, "I already told you that Beth Ruth's matter has nothing to do with me! My parents would never kill your parents! Why don't you investigate it? How long are you going to be deceived?"
Ezra calmly pulled off her hand, "I think you are the one who refuses to wake up. I have already investigated these things. What I said is the truth!"
"Impossible..." Arabella's figure shook violently. If not for the support of the desk behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Her eyes were empty and numb. She held back the tears in her eyes. She grabbed the corner of his clothes as if she was talking to herself or pleading. "Ezra, what do you want... to let Ruth's family go?"
At this moment, Arabella was no longer as stubborn and elegant as usual.
She was as fragile as a porcelain doll, as if she could be crushed easily.
Ezra couldn't bear to see her like this, but when he thought of conclusive evidence he had known, all the pity disappeared.
He pinched the woman's chin and forced her to look at him. "If you are obedient and abort the child, maybe I will let your father go! Otherwise, you can wait to hold a funeral for Aden Ruth!"
The decisiveness in the man's tone made Arabella's eyes turn red.
She looked at her so-called husband in shock and despair. Her body trembled uncontrollably. "They are innocent. You can't do this!"
"Innocent? None of you Ruth's family is innocent! Especially Aden Ruth!" Ezra sneered.
"You..." Arabella waved her hand and hit him, but he easily caught her hand.
Ezra gently pushed her out a few steps. If Arabella had not kept her balance in time, she might have to bleed again.
"Arabella, whether Aden Ruth is alive or dead depends on what you choose!"
Arabella's body swayed, and her face turned pale.
She knew that she had no other choice.
After a long time, she said hoarsely, "Give me time... to think about it."
Without looking back at the man, she turned and left.
The man looked at her back and frowned again...
On the busy road, Arabella was dressed in a thin pajama, and her soulless appearance was particularly eye-catching. She ignored the curious eyes of the people around her and went straight to a taxi.
But for a moment, she suddenly did not know where to go.
"Where are you going?" the middle-aged taxi driver urged impatiently. "If you don't want to take a taxi, get off. You're delaying my business!"
Arabella came back to her senses and slowly said Ruth's family's location.
The driver clicked his tongue and stepped on the accelerator. The car flew out like an arrow leaving the bow.
Arabella quietly stared out of the window, watching the flashing traffic lights on the window. The passers-by were in a hurry. The night wind blew up the leaves and the girl's dress, and the fragrance of wheat came from the baking shop not far away.
Everyone was in a hurry, rushing in the direction of their home. Only she was confused, and she didn't know how to go about the future days...
Family, marriage, children, they were like invisible hands, binding her.
Her breathing became heavier and heavier, and endless despair came from the bottom of her heart, drowning her like a tide. Her long, curly eyelashes were slightly wet, and her eyes were lost.
At this moment, just as the car turned around at a fork in the road, a silver car without a license plate suddenly rushed to her!
The intersection happened to be in the blind spot of everyone. The bright remote light went straight through the wind-blocking glass. Before the driver could react, he was blinded by the glare of the car lights.
Arabella watched as the car got closer and closer. The howling wind and the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat seemed to be close at hand. The harsh honks continued until the car finally sped in her direction.
"Ah!"
The woman screamed and the sharp braking sound of the car rang at the same time. Arabella's body rushed forward uncontrollably because of inertia. The safety belt pull her back and pressed on her unprotected lower abdomen in a great force.
In an instant, Arabella felt as if the sky and earth were spinning. The intense pain in her abdomen and the gushing feeling of vomiting swept over.
"No... my child..." Arabella held her stomach tightly
She could feel something leaving her body.
In a trance, Doctor Hall's harsh words echoed in her ears again.
"The child has become quite weak. If you don't take care of yourself, you will have a miscarriage..."
No!
Her brain was in chaos and her body was in extreme pain. She could no longer hold on. Her vision went black and she fainted.
