Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 452 - 451: One Will Be Left Behind
Afterward, Claire Sullivan couldn’t remember what she had said.
She just sat there, crying over and over, begging everyone to help her find her daughter.
Waves of pain radiated from the wound on her back, traveled through her fingers, entered her body, and stopped at her heart, spreading fiercely. It made her cry so cold all over, with nothing but the thought of wishing she were dead left in her mind.
Felix Lockwood, who came to see her, stepped out of the elevator, heard her cries, and saw Claire Sullivan sitting on the ground. He immediately took her to the hospital room.
In her distress, the wound on her back split open, and the doctor came over to stitch her up again.
Not long after the wound was stitched, Claire Sullivan, who fell into a daze, dreamed of events from twenty years ago.
The events of twenty years ago were too painful, so painful that she always deceived herself by saying it was just a dream and not to recall it.
Joel Quinn married her, gave her a happy and fulfilling home. She tried hard to adapt to this family, having a husband and a daughter, feeling that this was her rebirth.
But Serena Sullivan gradually opposed her on this matter. She spoke ill of Zoe Quinn, she criticized Joel Quinn’s misconduct. In her view, this was because Serena couldn’t stand her having a good life and wanted to ruin her happiness.
Yes, just like those with the surname Sterling, tearing her heart apart bit by bit, causing so much pain that no blood could flow.
Now, she dreamed of that stormy night, the winds outside howling fiercely, and the rain pouring harder. After giving birth, she saw the man at the door and upon a closer look, realized it was him.
She was overjoyed, thinking he had come back for her.
Leaving the children behind, firstly because she couldn’t bear to leave them, and secondly, because they were his, and she loved him deeply.
But soon enough, reality hit her hard in the face; he did not come to see her, let alone to reconcile for the children’s sake.
"The Sterling Family’s child cannot drift outside."
This was the first thing he said.
The already cold night became even colder because of his words, even more so for her who had just given birth.
"Impossible!"
She used all her strength, exchanging her life for the birth of the children, not to let him take them back to the Sterling Family.
He stood at the door, coldly watching her fury, listening to her refusal.
The Sterling Family was that ruthless, and he was even more so.
"I will leave one behind!"
This was his second sentence, followed by the sound of the rain. She saw an aunt standing behind him, holding a child in her arms.
That child was the one she had just given birth to.
"Take care!"
After throwing down the third sentence, he turned around, took the child from the aunt’s arms, and left.
How could she possibly accept the child’s departure! Disregarding that she had just given birth, she ran out without even wearing shoes.
He walked quickly, step by step, moving further and further away from her.
She chased after him desperately, but in the end, her body was too weak, and no matter how hard she ran, she couldn’t catch up with his steps.
Outside the hospital, the rain was pouring heavily, the wind was blowing, making her shiver all over.
She rushed into the rain, and when she looked down, she saw blood flowing from beneath her, staining the rainwater at her feet red. Looking up again, he was already inside the car with the child.
As the car window rolled up, the man’s merciless, indifferent face flashed past her eyes. She ran after it, loudly calling his name!
The sound of the car engine and the rain and wind had long drowned out her shouts; how could he possibly hear them?
Even if he did, how could he turn back?
The child was taken away by him just like that, and they were separated for over twenty years.
In that night’s wind and rain, she fainted at the roadside, later being carried back to the hospital. When she woke up, she turned her head and saw a sleeping infant.
