The golden sunlight shone in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Elsie Nicholson gently stroked her round belly with a warm smile.
The child would be born in three months. During the prenatal examination today, the doctor secretly told her that it was a girl.
She couldn't wait to tell Jordan Knight that they are having a daughter.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open by force and generated a loud sound. Elsie trembled, and the glass in her hand slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.
"Jordan... What's wrong?"
Jordan was standing outside the door with his face ashen, and several people were behind him.
For some reason, a trace of fear flashed through Elsie's heart. She got up clumsily, held her bulging stomach and staggered toward him.
A stack of A4 papers dropped from upon and fell all over her body.
The information on the papers was complicated and detailed, but the conclusion that was written behind a photo was simple and concise. Her DNA indicated that she was Diana Nicholson.
"Diana, you've stolen Elsie's identity for all these years. You must be enjoying your life very much, huh?"
Jordan took a step forward. There was an irrepressible tyranny under his cold voice.
Diana? Who is she?
Elsie thought, stupefied. The unfamiliar name was like a spell that made her breath tighten, and her whole body trembled in fear.
A sharp pain came from her head. Elsie swayed and knelt on the ground.
Her knees hurt. Beside her were Jordan's shiny leather shoes and slender legs. He looked down at her coldly and had no intention of helping her up.
That gaze was so cold that it made her tremble in horror.
But she could not remember anything. She lost all her memories after the car accident three years ago.
Was she really Diana?
There was a dull pain in her lower abdomen which made her feel a little panicked. "Jordan, I don't know what you're talking about. Take me to the doctor. The baby..."
"Diana!" A shrill female voice suddenly sounded. "Drop your act already! You never thought that I could survive that accident, right?! Now I am back!"
Elsie's mind was buzzing frantically. This voice sounded too familiar. Who was she? Who was she?
She raised her head to look at the woman, and her face suddenly turned pale.
It was like the reflection in a mirror. The woman's face was exactly the same as hers.
"Do you still remember me? I am the real Elsie, and you are Diana, my parents' adopted daughter!"
The woman was delicate and beautiful, but her face was pale. She was so weak that she needed the support of a nurse.
Her eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at her fiercely. It seemed that she was going to come forward and swallow Dania alive at any time.
Suddenly, she broke free from the nurse and staggered in front of Diana.
Slap!
The woman slapped Diana across the face which made her face swell up in an instant.
"Diana, you're such an ingrate. You killed our entire family in order to get Jordan!
My parents brought you home and raised you. How could you kill them!" the woman cried shrilly.
With that, she raised both her arms and slapped Diana a few more times.
Diana's face was pale. She shook her head frantically, ignoring the intense abdominal pain. "No, it's impossible! How could I do those things? I don't remember anything after the car accident, but I definitely won't kill anyone!"
Elsie smiled coldly and pushed her to the ground. "You won't? Not only did you kill them, but you also went through plastic surgery to look like me and pretended to lose your memory in order to marry Jordan! "
Elsie was up in arms. Her eyes turned red, and she rushed forward like a mad witch and punched Diana.
"No... it's not..."
Diana curled up and tightly protected her abdomen.
Her mind was a mess. The side effect of the car accident had flared up again.
Waves of pain hit her, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Jordan's cold face. She swallowed the cry for help.
After a long time, Jordan came forward and hugged Elsie gently.
"That's enough. Your health is more important." He paused and continued, "As for her, I will make her pay for hurting you."
With that, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Save the baby, I beg you..."
Diana lay on the ground, trembling in pain.
She could clearly feel waves of hot blood gushing out of her lower body, sticky and messy. Before she fainted, the last thing Diana saw was Jordan's cold back as he gradually faded from her sight...
"No, no! Don't!"
A scream made Diana suddenly open her eyes, and what she saw was the snow-white ceiling. The heavy antiseptic smell reminded her of something. Her eyes jumped, and she subconsciously touched her abdomen...
Her abdomen was flat!
Diana trembled all over, her tears completely drowning her.
The child... Her most cherished child was gone just like that.
Jordan's joyful smile when she was pregnant was vivid in her mind.
And his indifference to her now made her whole heart cold.
She didn't remember killing someone or her adoptive parents. Was she really that kind of person who could do such a cruel thing? Did she really kill her adoptive parents and go through plastic surgery for the sake of being with Jordan?
Thinking of this, Diana felt as if her head was about to explode. Her heart ached so much that her tears fell wantonly.
Bang!
At this moment, the door was kicked open. She was so shocked that her whole body trembled. She wiped away the tears on her face with all her might, endured the agonizing pain in her lower body, and sat up. She saw Jordan holding the pale Elsie and walking in.
The way the two of them leaned against each other made Diana afraid to look at them.
Despite the disappointment, Diana asked in despair, "Jordan, our baby... Where is the baby?"
As Diana spoke, her voice became a little choked up.
"Do you think I will keep the baby?" A different emotion flashed through Jordan's eyes, but very quickly, the emotion was replaced with disgust and contempt.
He stared at the pale Diana on the bed with a taut face and said indifferently. "It's good that the baby died before she was born. It's better than having you as her mother."
These words were like a sharp sword that stabbed into Diana's heart. The pain made her face even more unsightly. She gripped the bedsheet tighter and curled her lips into a cold smile. She hissed sadly, "Even if I'm not Elsie, she's your baby..."
Elsie's expression was extremely gloomy. When she heard this, she cursed harshly, "You don't deserve to have Jordan's baby! What a joke?! You should die and pay with your life! You have no one to blame but yourself! It was you who harmed him!"
Diana looked at the cold and indifferent Jordan. Her heart suddenly ached, and she muttered to herself, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it. I don't remember anything..."
A trace of compassion flashed through Jordan's eyes. In just a moment, it disappeared. He held Elsie's shoulder tightly and announced the final statement, which was cruel and merciless. "You will spend the rest of your life in jail. You have all the time in the world to repent your sins. Elsie, let's go."
After saying that, he took Elsie and left the ward.
The air was still filled with the smell of disinfectant, but Diana seemed to feel nothing. Jordan's last statement echoed in her mind, his voice cold and clear.
Even a vicious tiger would not harm its children, but he had killed his own daughter!
She was wrong, totally wrong. It was extremely stupid to kill someone for the sake of such a man if she really had done it!
