Chapter 489
Wendy groggily regained consciousness, her eyes fluttering open. A harsh white light immediately pierced her vision, making it nearly impossible to see.
As a doctor, her first instinct told her exactly where she was She was on an operating table.
Lying on the cold, sterile surface, she could feel the presence of several doctors in white coats surrounding her.
The sound of bottles being twisted open‘ echoed in the room
The doctors were opening small vials of medicine, preparing large syringes to inject the contents.
One of the doctors spoke, his tone clinical and detached, “Administer the anesthetic immediately, then begin the abortion procedure.”
Abortion procedure?
The moment Wendy was attacked at Cecelia’s place, she knew these people were after her–and specifically, after the baby inside her.
She tried to move, but her body felt heavy and weak. The blow to the back of her neck had been excruciating, leaving her with no strength to fight back.
One of the nurses asked, “Where’s the patient’s family? She’s about to undergo an abortion. Shouldn’t a family member be here with her?”
The doctor replied coolly, “You didn’t know? The patient’s husband is Mr. Hawk, but he won’t be coming. He called earlier and gave the order for the procedure. We are to terminate the pregnancy immediately.”
Another doctor, looking at Wendy pitifully, muttered, “Of all the people, you had to cross Mr. Hawk and Ms. Jessica. Everyone knows how much he dotes on her. You should’ve stayed clear of her. Everything here was arranged by Mr. Hawk. He sent people to your best friend’s place to lure you in. Now you’re here, strapped to the operating table for this.”
Wendy lay there, feeling as though she had been cast into a bottomless abyss.
Stanley–how could you be so ruthless?
She knew Stanley would do anything for Jessica, but this…
This was a whole new level. Every time she thought she understood the depths of his actions, he proved her wrong.
If she could, she would have preferred never having met him.
Her hand instinctively moved to her flat stomach. This was her baby.
She couldn’t let them hurt her baby.
She wouldn’t let them!
One of the doctors moved closer, his voice cold and professional. “Alright, let’s administer the anesthetic. Mr. Hawk is waiting for our report.”
The doctor slowly approached her with the long needle, the sharp tip aimed at her arm.
With every ounce of strength, Wendy screamed inside her head.
“No, don’t hurt my baby.”

Chapter 489
Summoning every bit of energy, she managed to move. With a burst of desperation, she scrambled off the table, bolting toward the door.
She couldn’t let them hurt her child. If she could just get to that door, she could scream for help.
She was so close. Just a little further.
She grasped the door handle, pulling it with all her might.
But just as she was about to escape, the doctor from behind rushed over and grabbed her. Wendy’s fingers slipped off the door handle as she was violently pulled back.
“Let me go! Don’t hurt my baby!” she cried, struggling with every last bit of strength she had left.
But it was no use. The two doctors overpowered her once more, lifting her back onto the cold operating table.
“We don’t want to do this. We’re just following Mr. Hawk’s orders,” one of the doctors said, his grip tightening.” Mr. Hawk’s the one who wants your baby gone. Blame him, not us.”
“Please, stop this! Letine go!” Wendy begged, her voice breaking.
Tears welled up in her wide, pale eyes; hot, salty drops slipping down her cheeks.
Why?! Why was he doing this?
At this moment, she hated him with every fiber of her being.
