At that moment, Haley violently shook her head, "I don't care, I want an answer from Conrad today. Are you going to marryor not?" Conrad's jaw clenched tight. At this juncture, he could have just nodded to placate her.
But he didn't. Instead, he was brutally honest, "Haley, I said I'd compensate you, but don't expect anything more." Even the firefighter staring at him was taken aback by his words.
Despair flickered in Haley's eyes as she yelled at him, "The compensation I want is you." "Haley, you setup, caused Aiden's death. I'm overlooking it only for the sake of the child," Conrad's voice was icy cold.
He was never one to be pushed around, always stubborn, a trait Jacqueline often scolded him for being a hardhead.
"The child? Always the child," Haley's hand moved to her belly, "So what am I to you all, just a means to have a child?" "Conrad, you care about this child, don't you? If you don't agree withnow, I'll end this pregnancy myself," she said, starting to hit her belly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy heart shuddered. Not even a beast would harm its offspring, this woman was ruthless.
Otherwise, she wouldn't repeatedly use the child as leverage.
"Haley, if anything happens to this child, I swear, I'll make you pay," Conrad threatened.
Now, I could understand Conrad's stance. He felt guilty about Aiden, so he was determined to protect Aiden's child at all costs.
He was tasting the bitter fruit of his own actions.
However, Conrad's words only made Haley hit her belly harder. In a moment of madness, the firefighter who had quietly approached, grabbed her.
But Haley Struggled instinctively.
Standing on the edge, their movements made the firefighter lose balance, and they started to fall backward.
"Ah!" That scream cfrom Haley, and I covered my mouth in shock, my eyes wide as saucers staring at the edge.
A strong hand was clinging to the edge, with Haley still screaming, "Save me, please save me..." Her piercing cries made her previous threats seem like a joke.
But no one was laughing now as they hurriedly rushed to pull the hand up.
It was the firefighter who had hugged Haley. Though he was tethered by a safety rope, if they fell, he might survive, but Haley would definitely be thrown off.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, with one hand gripping the edge and the other holding onto a pregnant Haley, he couldn't hold on much longer.
Several firefighters laid on the ground, pulling with all their might, but with the weight of two people, it wasn't easy to pull them up.
Conrad joined in, and I just stood
there, unable to do anything, watching helplessly. As watched) Haley and the firefighter were gradually pulled up. She was no longer yelling, her face pale as she lay there.
Soon, I noticed her white dress turning red...Blood! "She's bleeding, the baby, the baby..." I pointed at Haley.
Conrad noticed something was wrong too and immediately went over, pulling Haley up, "Is your belly hurting?" Haley couldn't say a word, looking completely soulless.
"Rush her to the emergency room," I said while taking out my phone, m dialing Fanny's number.
