He Risked His Life for Me, Yet I Almost Lost Myself

Chapter 2

Lucy's face turned deathly pale instantly, as if she were once again witnessing that sky-full of bloodshed.

Half a year ago, her father was driven to the edge by Dany and jumped from a building without the slightest hesitation.

And she could only stand downstairs, watching helplessly.

Her father's body fell from the high building, passed through the steel frame below, and blood gushed out.

That scarlet blood splattered all over her face.

And all of this happened just because she wanted to hold onto Dany, who had already changed his heart.

At that time, after learning about General Hayes's infidelity, Lucy still had illusions about him because of the child. She decided to send Nina away with money, just like other wives in her social circle did.

Unexpectedly, at their first meeting, before Lucy could even say a word, Nina knelt down directly.

She tightly grabbed the cuffs of Lucy's pants with both hands, and her voice was full of pleading.

"Lucy, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I just beg you to give me a way to live and not ruin everything for me."

Looking at Nina with red eyes and feeling the disdainful glances from around, Lucy slightly raised her eyebrows. She was neither annoyed nor flustered.

Out of consideration for being a woman herself, she wanted to leave some dignity for Nina. She was just about to reach out to pull Nina up when she was suddenly pushed hard by a strong force and stumbled backward.

Her arm scraped against the ground violently, and a piercing pain spread throughout her body. Lucy looked up sharply and met Dany's eyes, which were burning with anger.

"Lucy, how could you be so vicious? Are you going to force her to death behind my back?"

The coldness between his eyebrows made Lucy's heart skip a beat.

"It was I who couldn't control my feelings. It has nothing to do with Nina. Remember your identity, and don't let me find out about this again!"

On the afternoon of the same day, Lucy was removed from her position as a news anchor.

And the one who replaced her was Nina.

Lucy's father couldn't bear to see his daughter looking so dejected, so he secretly went to the radio station, wanting to find the leader to get to the bottom of the matter.

As a result, there was only Nina in the office.

Before Lucy's father could say a word, Nina covered her face and ran out sobbing.

Rumors spread everywhere. Under Nina's deliberate provocation, General Hayes mistakenly thought that Lucy's father had come to stand up for Lucy and deliberately make things difficult for Nina. So he ordered his men to take action.

Shortly after that, Grant's Textile Factory was suddenly deliberately troubled. The Hong Kong businessman withdrew his investment, and the factory went bankrupt.

Faced with the huge amount of payment for goods owed, and after being humiliated by Dany, Lucy's father was afraid of implicating his wife and daughter, so he secretly ended his own life.

Before his death, he struggled to open his eyes. When he saw his daughter with tears all over her face, his eyes were filled with regret and heartache. His lips, stained with blood foam, moved slightly, expressing his apology to his daughter.

"Lucy, why are you here? Dad was wrong..."

Lucy's mother, who rushed over in a hurry, fainted immediately when she saw this scene. Later, she was diagnosed with cancer.

The relevant treatment could only be done in the overseas joint-venture hospital under the Hayes Group.

But under Dany's order, the hospital refused to admit her.

In order to save her mother's life, Lucy put aside her dignity and took the initiative to go to the new home of Dany and Nina, begging for their forgiveness.

When she was shut out, she heard the ambiguous laughter of the man and woman inside. A sharp pain suddenly welled up in her chest, and at the same time, a clear falling pain came from her lower abdomen. She didn't care about anything else, and used all her strength to shout through the c***k of the door.

"Nina, I apologize to you. Dany, you can punish me in any way you want, but please... save my mother..."

Her vision gradually blurred, and she slipped down onto the cold steps. The last thing she saw was Dany's cold face, without any expression.

When she woke up again, she was lying on a hospital bed. Lucy subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, which was empty. Tears slid down silently.

The child she had been looking forward to for nine years was gone.

Seeing this, Dany frowned, and his tone was as cold as ice.

"Why are you crying? Isn't this everything you wanted? Considering that the child is gone, Nina is kind-hearted and won't argue with you anymore. Whether your mother can survive depends on whether you can be a good wife!"

*****

The cold words seemed to still be echoing in her ears. Lucy froze for a moment, and her fingers gradually tightened.
