Emily turned to look at Mark. When she saw him holding his pregnancy test report, she said with a stiff smile: “Oh... Yes...” This would have been a good and wonderful thing if Josie hadn't come today. “Oh, my God! Dear Emily, you are amazing!” Mark put down the report, rushed to hug Emily tightly, and then he was afraid that he might hurt the baby in her stomach and quickly released his hand. But his eyes were full of tears. “Oh, my God! This is incredible! I'm going to be a dad!” Emily wasn't ready to tell Mark about the pregnancy. Considering what Josie said, Emily wondered if she should check with Mark. “I'm going to be a dad! Oh, my god! I'm going to be a father! Emily!” Mark was already incoherent with joy, laughing and circling Emily, and then he was abruptly kissing her on the face. Emily looked at Mark with a mixture of uneasiness and happiness. For the child, she has to protect the family but also find out what happened to Mark and Josie. "Hmm..." Emily spoke hesitantly, “Actually... We had a guest today.” She stared at Mark, who was still immersed in happiness, and Mark, who was stunned to hear that there were guests. “What? You got a visitor? Did the visitor come to see you?” He didn't realize who Emily was talking about. “To tell me something about you, actually. She is a noble and beautiful lady. Maybe I should call her 'Miss.' You know who she is, Mark.” Emily is not going to beat around the bush. These things need to be resolved as soon as possible. She doesn't want to be involved in the mess after the baby is born. Mark had completely lost his mood to joke by this time. It was clear that he knew indeed who the 'miss' was. There was no room for Mark to continue playing deaf and dumb about the things between him and Josie, so he said gently, "it's Josie, right?" What did she come to tell you? " “Hmm ... Just some facts about our marriage and the story between you and her.” Emily didn't finish her sentence. She wondered if the fact that came out of Mark's mouth would be the same as Josie's. Mark's face was obviously serious: “Really? What exactly did she tell you? No! Don't trust anything she said! Because she's a crazy woman!” Emily expected Mark to confess something or just make up some lies, but she didn't expect him to actually call Josie a crazy woman. Before she had any questions, Mark continued, “I know. She must have told you she was my girlfriend before, didn't she? Right, it was true. Before I met you, I had been with her.” That didn't make Emily sad. She knew there had to be something between Josie and Mark, and it would make sense if they had ever been together. “But not long after, because of the differences between our personalities, I decided to break up with her. But because we still have a cooperative relationship with her family, I did not completely lose contact with her. But she always considers herself my girlfriend. Furthermore, she constantly harasses me. In fact, I have no personal relationship with her! Dear, I hope you can trust me!” Mark's words are sincere, and this does not sound completely unreasonable. “Well, maybe what you're saying is true. But she has another reason for you two not being together.” Emily continued to ask. She had to figure everything out, or these things might cause sleeplessness or even become a nightmare tonight. “That's right... There's another reason, which you should have heard. Josie… She had an unhappy marriage once, and my parents wouldn't allow me to marry a woman who had been married before. They were really irrational!” Speaking of this, Mark seemed to suddenly realize what he was saying and quickly denied: “No! I mean, their opinions are too traditional, aren't they? But then again, if I hadn't broken up with her, perhaps I wouldn't have met you. On the other hand, this is a good thing, dear. ” Mark's eyes followed Emily's face closely, watching her expression carefully. "I see." Emily nodded. And Mark said, “What's more, we have our baby now, dear. I will try to take care of you both and our family!” Emily had already believed in his words at that moment, and he must be able to treat her well for the baby, didn't he? He may have done something wrong before. But from now on, Emily believed that Mark would be a good husband and father. Mark did take good care of the family, as he said before. He not only spent more time at home but also went to classes with Emily to learn about how to be a good parent. Emily's belly grew bigger day by day. For some inconvenient things, he also did as much as possible for her. This afternoon, Mark finished the company's business early and went back home. It was the day to do the examination for the baby. Her belly was already very visible, and she was leaning on the couch watching a parenting video, with several cushions behind her so that her waist could relax a little. Mark took off his coat. He came to Emily and gave her a massage skillfully: “Honey, how are you feeling today? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” “Hmm .... Today I threw up a few times, but fortunately, I've already got used to it.” Emily said weakly. Pregnancy is not easy for women. "Then let's rest a little before we go to see a doctor." Mark continued to massage Emily. Emily nodded, moving her arms, legs and neck. Although the baby was very well after several check-ups, Emily was in great pain. She suffered a lot of pain in her waist and back every day. She also had to pay attention to her posture when she was sleeping, and even vomiting is a common thing. Although her belly is getting bigger, Emily herself seemed a little weaker and more emaciated. There were many times when Emily regretted her decision to keep the child. But once the pain had passed, she would look forward to it and imagine herself as a mother. Especially now that Mark is better than he was before the marriage, it made her feel like the baby was God's precious gift to her. Suddenly, Mark's phone rang. Since Mark went home early during this time, he had to deal with the work at home, and the phone calls were actually a lot more than usual. But Mark just took one look and hung up the phone. A few seconds later, the phone rang again. Unlike in the past, Mark would answer directly for the general work phone. But this time, Mark picked up his phone and walked into the kitchen. Emily didn't think much about it. Maybe pregnancy consumed her too much energy and attention. She was still watching the parenting video - the video was talking about how to give fetal prenatal education. After a while, Mark came out and seemed anxious about it. He said to Emily, “Honey, I'm sorry... The company has a very important matter to deal with... I have to go back now. I'm afraid you'll have to go alone today.” Emily winced but agreed: “Oh! Well, that's unfortunate. But I might be okay on my own.” She turned off the parenting video and was going to make some preparations for going out. Mark came over and kissed her belly. “I'm so sorry, baby... Dad will be back early to see you and Mom.” Emily smiled and pushed Mark away. “Oh! Go to the company now, I have to prepare to go and see a doctor.” “All right. Bon voyage, dear. I'm gonna go.” Mark left the house without looking back. Emily hummed a nursery rhyme while she was sorting out her things to take to the hospital. Not knowing if it was because of pregnancy, his memory had recently declined. Where are the damn things? It took Emily a lot of time just to sort this out. It was half an hour before she was ready to leave. “Oh, my God! It's almost late. I have to hurry.” With the necessary items, Emily went out the door. However, as soon as she closed the front door of her home, her mouth and nose were suddenly covered by a piece of cloth from behind. Emily threw away the things in her hands and struggled frantically, but she chose to protect her stomach first because of the child in her stomach. In the process, her hand inadvertently touched the other side's arm, which was thick and felt like a man's arm. But unfortunately, she could not escape but gradually became blurred consciousness. When she woke up, she opened her eyes and found that everything was dark. Then she realized she had been blindfolded. It was quiet, there was no noise, and she didn't know where she was. Certainly not in the hospital for a check-up. She moved her hands and feet quietly, and she found that her hands and feet were bound. At that moment, someone suddenly said, "It looks like you're awake." It was an obvious man's voice, and Emily didn't know if it was the man who had stunned her, and she didn't dare to make any response. “Just keep quiet. Just listen to the following things I'm gonna say. Don't say anything.” The man's cold voice sounded again, which made Emily feel afraid. “Someone warned you to remember your position. But I'm pretty sure that you didn't take that advice seriously.” Emily started to get confused. She thought this man kidn*pped her because she was the CEO's wife, perhaps he wanted to blackmail Mark. But that didn't seem to be the case now. "You're pregnant. Maybe that's not a good thing." This made Emily feel like something bad was about to happen. "As punishment, you are about to lose this child." !! Emily couldn't figure out who this man was. She pleaded, “No! Please! I can give you a lot of money! You know who my husband is, right? He's Mark Archer! He's rich. Just leave my kid alone, please!” She waited anxiously for these people's replies. "Money is indeed a good thing, but we'll have a lot of money when we abort your kids." Unfortunately, the man did not even hesitate for a moment. Emily now understood that these men were paid a high price to abort her children! “Don't! Please! You also have mothers, don't you? Please consider the feelings of a woman who is going to be a mother! I can't lose my child... Please!” Emily burst into tears, tears wet the blindfold over her face. The men did not speak again, but footsteps began to ring around Emily. One person, two people... I don't know how many people came to her. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Emily screamed wildly. She tried to twist her body, even though her hands and feet were tied up, but she still tried to bend her body into a state of shrimp. She tried her best to protect her child. But these were just in vain. Not knowing how many punches and kicks there were, countless attacks fell on her stomach, and the intense pain left Emily unable to make a sound. She didn't scream or beg for mercy, she just curled up as much as she could, trying to keep her stomach out of the way of the attacks. She felt a lot of blood under her body, but the attack did not stop anyway. Not knowing how long it would be, Emily fainted, which was probably fortunate for her. When she opened her eyes again, Emily found herself lying on the doorstep, her clothes completely soaked in blood and dirt, which showed that everything she had experienced before was true. Emily's tears and blood mixed with her hair stuck to her face, she barely supported her body to find her phone, and then she took a taxi to the hospital. Maybe her child would be saved. “Oh, my god!s**t!Who are you?” Suddenly, here came a man's voice. Obviously, he was startled by the person in front of him. Emily recognized that was Mark's voice: “Mark… It's me...” She sobbed and asked for help. She could see the shock in his eyes. "f**k! Emily! Emily! What's going on?! Who did this?! My god! I'll take you to the hospital right away! " Mark, who did not care about anything else, immediately picked up Emily and trotted all the way to the parking lot. He placed her in the car and immediately drove to the hospital.
