Chapter 108 Chapter 108 "Blood! She's bleeding!" Someone exclaimed, causing Kayla to notice the blood on her leg.

Trembling, she reached for her leg, and the sight of blood on her hands nearly made her faint. A security guard quickly steadied her.

Seeing her in such a bad situation, I stepped forward, pulling out my phone. "Hello, 911? In the lobby of Patterson Group, a pregnant woman is bleeding..." Before I could finish, Kayla lunged at me, catchingoff guard and knockingto the ground.

Thud! My body hit the floor hard, feeling like it was breaking apart.

Kayla roared, "Melanie, how dare you push me? You bitch! You hurt my baby! You pushed me. I'm calling the police. I'm going to report this!" Kayla ripped off my wig and tried to hit me, but Clyde grabbed her hand.

"What are you waiting for? Get her to the hospital!" Clyde's voice was cold and angry.

I was still dizzy, my vision darkening when Clyde quickly helpedto my feet.

By then, I saw York rushing to Kayla, scooping her up, and sprinting out the door.

Clyde asked with concern, "Melanie, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Clyde wanted to check my injuries, but I bit my lip and hurried him along. "To the hospital, together." Clyde explained, "York's already on it." York's plan was clear as day, using Kayla to stir the pot, hoping it would lead to my divorce.

After all, a Mrs. Patterson like Kayla was nothing but embarrassment, more beneficial in his quest for power. York's wife was from a reputable family, and with a son to inherit the business, he felt superior to Clyde.

In York's eyes, he seemed a more qualified successor. Other than not being as closely related by blood and lacking Clyde's abilities, he saw himself as the better choice.

Clyde squeezed my hand tightly before liftinginto his arms. "We're in this together." Arriving at the hospital, other than spain in my arm, I was starting to caround.

The Patterson family was quick on their heels. Merritt, Talbot, and Eaton all arrived in haste.

Seeingrush in, Lucia approached with a fierce glare. "Melanie, you truly are vile. How could you? That child was a Patterson." Laird snorted coldly, "This isn't over between us." I was clueless about their accusations. They talked as if I could magically push Kayla from thirty feet away.

Merritt looked atsharply, clearly angered. That was the grandson he had been longing for. If anything happened, everyone would pay the price.

"Grandpa, Melanie had nothing to do with this." Clyde stepped forward, shielding me. "Don't worry. Everything will be okay." The nurse announced, "The patient's family needs to sign. She needs a forced abortion." As the nurse rushed out, everyone's gaze instinctively turned to Clyde.

I frowned, sensing something was off. Kayla was usually lively and young. How could she miscarry just like that? Later, Kayla was out in the bed, looking different than I expected Her face bore hatred when she looked at me. "Melanie, why did you push me? Didn't you know I was pregnant?" "Doctor, maybe we should get the patient a CT scan. I think she's crazy." I looked at Kayla expressionlessly, "I was thirty feet away when you fell. Blaming he is absurd. There's a cure for detusions. Don't lose hope." My words left Laird and Lucia visibly angered.

"Melanie, what are you saying? Have you got no heart? You hurt Kayla's baby, a Patterson child!"

"We have surveillance in the company. I couldn't have pushed you. It isn't on me. If you think this is unjust; call the police." I stepped back, unwilling to argue further. Even if they called the police, what then? The CEO's wife of Patterson Group accused of magical assault on a mistress's child? Who would believe that?

Just as I was about to leave, Kayla leaped from her hospital bed straight at me. Melanie, you will pay for my son's life!" I instinctively covered my freshly

fitted wig, and Clyde was already before me, dragging Kayla back. "Have you had enough? Are you but of your mind? Melanie didn't harm your child. You brought this upon. yourself! I'll give you enough money tedisappear forever. Don't bother my wife again!" Not just Kayla, but I was stunned, too. Clyde was defending me, asking Kayla to leave.

Seeing no sympathy in his eyes, I almost believed him. He just lost a child, yet he was so composed? Kayla's tears fell, her gaze empty. "Clyde, our son..." X "Just an embryo, and how sure are you he was mine?" Clyde's emotionless voice echoed, sending a shiver
