Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 628



Mark lowered his head, his breath warm against my skin. In a panic, I covered his mouth with my hand. The next thing I knew, something warm and wet landed in my palm. My stomach churned.

"Ugh-"

Mark finally let me go, and I wrapped my arms around the trash can again. But I had nothing left to throw up, just bile, and my throat burned with pain. I wouldn't dare drink the water here, so I just endured.

Gregory would surely send someone to look for me, not to mention my uncle and mom. They'd all be searching. I wouldn't have to stay here long. Mark eyed me. "Jane."

My mind raced for a solution. Then suddenly, he pressed a hand against my stomach, and I tried to back away, but he held me firmly in place.

"Jane, I'm keeping this baby because the doctor said your body can't handle an abortion, especially not with the medical resources we have on this ship. It's too risky."

"So, Jane, don't provoke me."

I couldn't help but tremble, my fingers digging into his wrist until blood seeped out. To my horror, this excited Mark further. I realized just how insane he was.

For the sake of the baby, I had no choice but to comply. "Please, don't hurt my baby."

Mark withdrew his hand, disgust crossing his face as he glanced at my stomach. "Once we reach my place, this child won't be staying."

Panic seized me. "No, you can't do that. This is my child!"

Mark laughed, then suddenly softened his voice. "Want to keep it?"

I knew he was going to threaten me, but I had no other options. "What do you want?"

"Only your love," he said, his gaze filled with faux tenderness.

...

Gregory woke up sooner than expected, which meant Herbert hadn't finished his part. Dailey and Lucius hadn't found any trace of Jane yet. Christine was waiting outside Gregory's hospital room, and Edith was nearby, both anxious.

Christine was about to get some

et

coffee to calm their nerves when Gregory's door swung open. She turned, her heart racing at the sight of Gregory's pale face. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"You're awake..."

Despite his sickly appearance, Gregory's presence was as intimidating as ever. "Where's Jane?"

Christine quickly told him the truth, hoping he could find Jane faster.

"Gregory."

Dailey interrupted, out of breath. "Ramona has passed away."

"What?" Gregory was shocked, but his emotions were controlled. Christine, on the other hand, was visibly shaken.

"Victor too."

The news added to the gravity of the

situation, but Gregory was more

concerned about Jane. Dailey

reported that Lucius, despite being injured by sulfuric acid, was still

searching for her. Content belongs

Gregory was mulling over something when Ike arrived, limping. "It's that man who wanted to take Jane away!"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"What?" Gregory didn't understand at first.

Ike clarified, "Mr. Larson, the one who brought that dog home. He took Jane!"

Dailey was shocked, "You saw Mark?"

Ike nodded vigorously, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

Edith was unaware of this. Ike had been unconscious during the explosion, and it was only in the emergency room that he saw Jane being taken away.

Gregory's suspicions were confirmed, but Dailey was bewildered. "How could he have survived? The chemical plant was destroyed."

Gregory just looked at him, his expression unreadable.

This was more than Dailey could comprehend The idea that Mark could have escaped from such a disaster and taken Jane was beyond belief, yet Ike was certain of what he saw The mystery of Mark's survival and his intentions with Jane deepened, leaving them att in a state of urgency and concern.
