At the hospital, Winnie looked at her father, who was on oxygen in the ICU ward, sitting stiffly in his chair, his delicate, pretty face expressionless, his eyes dead and sullen, with a vicissitude unbecoming of her age.
At that age, she should obviously be carefree, but now Winnie's entire being oozes dishevelment.
Her stepmother Linda's words echoed in her ears-
"Winnie, if you have this baby, that four million will come right away, and your father can have surgery right away! He'll be saved!"
"Do you want to stand idly by and watch your father die?"
Half a month ago, Winnie's father was in a car accident and is still in a coma in the emergency room and likely won't wake up.
All the company's projects were postponed and the family's savings were almost depleted.
Stepmother Linda went to a lot of people for the four million and finally said she was put in touch with a golden master.
If only she would bear the man's child, her father and the company would be saved.
Winnie initially agreed, but it wasn't until the day after she signed the contract that several men in suits took her straight into the hospital for various tests and gave her the best food and supplies.
It took her a moment to notice that they were preparing her for pregnancy!
And she had to be real to have sex with that person!
All this, Linda hadn't told her.
Seeing Winnie still hesitating, Linda looked like she couldn't stand it, "Winnie! Don't forget, you've already signed the contract, once you break it, it's hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation!"
Linda said, "We have a buttload of debt on the books of our family company! I will not allow any more slip-ups in this matter!"
Winnie sat limply on the couch, her gaze dull, just as the sound of leather shoes came from the end of the long hallway.
A man in gold-rimmed glasses came from a distance and spoke with an expressionless face, "You've all figured it out, haven't you?"
Linda immediately tugged on Winnie's arm, "Okay, okay! She's fine with it, I've told her all about it, so ...... when's the four million coming?"
The assistant raised his glasses and said coldly, "As soon as Miss Wen is found to be pregnant, the four million will be here immediately."
With that, his eyes fell on Winnie, "A car will pick you up at ten tonight, you know what to do."
Winnie didn't say anything, and Linda gave her another strong tug, then politely spoke to the assistant before finally dismissing him. After a long moment, Winnie looked up, red-eyed, and said, "Did you already know the specifics of the contract and kept it from me?"
"This ......"
As if poked in the heart all at once, Linda immediately stammered and retorted stiffly, "Didn't I do it for your father? Your father gave you the best of everything, and you had to make sacrifices when he needed you."
Winnie gave her a death stare and Linda knew she was wrong and shut up and simply stopped talking.
Late at night, at ten o'clock, the black limousine drops Winnie off at the large estate halfway up the hill on time.
The place is lavishly decorated and quiet.
Winnie was led into a room.
The maid helped her prepare the water for the bath, changed into her nightgown, and brought her to bed.
The room was dark and Winnie lay stiffly on the bed, the only sound she could hear in the silence was her own breathing and heartbeat.
She heard the door open and tensed up even more, closing her eyes with a death grip, afraid of what would happen next.
She didn't know how old the man was, what he looked like, if he was married, and if there was anything wrong with his sexual function.
Why else ask her to have children for him.
Winnie was panicking because she could hear footsteps still approaching, like he had made his way to the bed!
Then the covers lifted and a cold palm caressed up.
"AHHHH!!!" Winnie shrieked in horror.
At the same time, a harsh gaze fell with an aggressive aura.
This man was like a natural emperor, carrying an irresistible aura around him, his entire being towering over others.
"You're scared?" He uttered the words, his voice a little husky and dark.
Winnie fought back her rapid heartbeat as a variety of turbulent emotions overwhelmed her to the point where she could barely breathe.
But when she thought of the four million her father desperately needed, she shuddered and said, "I ...... I'm a little scared, but I ...... I can get over it ......"
After saying that, she wanted to bite her tongue.
She really regretted having to have this relationship with a man she'd never even met and having to give him a child when she didn't even like him yet!
"Turn on the lights if you're scared, you might feel safer with them on." Quite the gentleman, he raised his hand to touch the switch on the wall, but was immediately yanked by Winnie, "No, don't turn on the light."
She sounded like she was praying, and she didn't have the courage to look at it all straight on.
He seemed to be silent for a moment and slowly drew back his hand.
Just as Winnie's mental defenses were slowly falling, her wrist was grabbed straight away!
"......"
Winnie resisted and kept pushing him with her hands.
This man was several times stronger than her and she couldn't even move!
"Don't ...... please don't do this ......," Winnie struggled in horror.
Except not only did her actions not work, they even made the man angry.
He suddenly stopped moving.
"You reject me?"
His tone sank a few notches, "What, you regret it now?"
"......"
"Don't you know why you're here?"
He narrowed his eyes, "If you don't want to, I won't force you, you can go now."
He agreed to let her go?
Winnie snapped back to her senses as what her stepmother had said rang in her ears.
[Don't forget, your dad is still in the hospital waiting for medical bills if you don't want him to die ......]
"No, I'm not leaving ......"
She can't leave ......
Winnie grabbed his hand, her whole body trembling.
He stopped moving, his tone a few more degrees colder than it had been earlier, "You still need me to show you how to do that?"
Winnie bit her lip and shook her head.
The man's movements continued.
Her body stiffened even more as his fingers moved over her, dead tense, her fingers gripping the sheets tightly.
"Sir, this is my first time, can you be gentle?" She spoke in a humble and ashamed way.
He let out a sneer.
He knew full well that she was afraid, yet he seemed to be deliberately suppressing her will.
Winnie had never experienced such shame in her life and her face turned red.
But perhaps, that's fate!
Consciousness soon faded.
In her drowsiness, Winnie didn't know when she passed out, and when she woke up again, a hazy bright light was coming in through the window.
The ribbons over her eyes were soaked with sweat.
Winnie stirred against the soreness, the sound of rushing water faintly in her ears.
After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Henry stepped out of it, changed into a neatly ironed suit, and walked over to the king-size bed.
There was also a striking bloodstain on the large, messy bed that was shocking to the eye.
His gaze lingered for a moment before he withdrew it indifferently, without any lingering, and turned to leave.
The sound of the room door slamming shut rang out, and Winnie fought through the pain to get up from the bed.
She gripped the covers hard as tears streamed down her face.
To save her father, she had to sell herself to a strange man.
After crying for a while, Winnie wiped away her tears and reassured herself that it would all pass!
Seven weeks later, Winnie really found out she was pregnant.
As the child in her belly grew little by little, so did her affection for the fetus. Their mother and child were connected by blood.
Every month's maternity checkup was very healthy.
The doctor said she was carrying a twin child.
With her due date just over a month away, she'll soon have a pair of healthy babies.
But that time was also the time when they were separated from mother and son!
However, just then, a call came in from the hospital!
