“You are showing signs of recovery…” Hugo’s remarks when he saw the test results made Sofia smile. “One more treatment and I can assure you that the poison will be completely gone. Out of your body,” he continued, his eyes on the tablet that had the result of her blood tests. Then he lifted his gaze and looked at Sofia. “Good job.” 

“Thank you,” Sofia said, her words almost like a whisper. “How about my mother?” 

“Good and bad news,” Hugo said as he eyed Alexander who stood next to Sofia. “Which one?” 

“Good,” Sofia said. 

“The good news is that your mother is responding to some new treatment that we discovered.” Sofia smiled. At least there was a response. “And the bad?” she asked. 

“Well… we don’t know if that is enough to wake her up. Again, the damage is irreversible. We can only stop the poison from killing her but we cannot reverse all the damage inside her body.” 

“But there is hope,” Sofia said. 

“Well-” Hugo was about to say a few pessimistic words when he noticed Alexander’s glare. Instead, he chuckled and shook his head. “As long as she’s breathing then… there is still hope.” 

“Thank you.” 

“No need.” Hugo got up and handed his tablet to his female assistant. “The donation that you gave is-” Again, he noticed Alexander’s glare so he stopped talking and once again started chuckling. “You are welcome.” 

“You are already leaving?” Sofia asked. 

“As much as I wanted to stay yet more experiments are waiting for me,” Hugo said. “Besides… I don’t think your husband wanted me to stay any longer.” 

Sofia looked at Alexander who seemed to look confused. Alexander immediately shrugged when he noticed her eyes on him. 

“You are surprisingly docile in front of your woman… hehehehe…. ” Hugo smirked. “However, I have no time to waste. I only came here to bring some good news about your result. We can immediately schedule the third treatment as soon as you are ready. The fact that you didn’t feel anything during the second treatment was a good sign that your body is adapting very well.” 

“Thank you,” Sofia said. She could not contain her happiness. The fact that the second treatment went really well was enough to make her day. After seeing Hugo off, she immediately looked at Alexander. “Shall we celebrate?” she asked. 

“I already called Adam. He will meet us with Karina at a private bar.” 

She narrowed her eyes. “Did you already know the result before Hugo told me?” 

His lips lifted into a sexy smirk. “Well… he told me to expect some good news before he arrived.”

“Oh…” Sofia said. “Then let me get ready.” She ran towards their room with a smile on her face. 

However, unlike Sofia, Charlotte was currently frowning as she glared at the woman smiling before her. 

“You wanted to use me to harm Sofia?” Charlotte sneered. “Is that what you are trying to say?” 

“You are making me sound so evil…” Teresa snorted, her gaze on the wine in her hand. 

“You cannot touch her because you are scared of her husband and now, you wanted to use me?” Charlotte smirked. The woman used some terms and even talked about propriety among other things that could easily confuse anyone. 

However, Charlotte is not dumb. After all that Teresa’s goal in meeting her in secret was really simple. She wanted to entice Charlotte to do something about Sofia. 

“Do you not envy your sister?” Teresa asked, ignoring Charlotte’s previous question. “I mean… do you really think she deserves everything that she currently has?” 

Charlotte turned her head away. Since she could not drink wine, she chose to have a simple chamomile tea to hopefully calm her nerves but it was not doing its magic. She pursed her lips. “Stop talking in circles. I don’t like wasting my time,” Charlotte said. 

“Are you not angry that the Beaumont Family is treating you like this?” 

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Charlotte said. Obviously, she was angry but her fury was not her priority. She is with a child! All she wanted right now was to make sure that the child was born into this world. She could always have her revenge later. 

“Sofia is currently enjoying the company of the heir of the Beaumont Family while you- you are pregnant. Daniel is not in his right mind to help you. In fact, he might have just abandoned you or harmed you when he sees you. Your career is dead. Your father was in prison while your mother is currently MIA. Isn’t that miserable?” 

“And?” Charlotte lifted an eyebrow. Indeed, she was not having a very good time right now but that will change once she has this baby. All she needed was to endure for the next few months. 

“If you want to do something about it then… I can help you,” Teresa smiled. 

Charlotte rolled her eyes. “What can you do?” she asked. “Are you not helpless in front of Alexander?” she asked. She had seen the woman in front of Mr. Beaumont, and it was pretty obvious that Teresa Beaumont and even the whole Beaumont Family did not have the courage to fight against Alexander Beaumont. Just thinking about this made her more irritated. 

Why was it that Sofia was with a man like that? 

No. Sofia was not just with him- she was actually his wife. Just how lucky was she to be able to fool Mr. Beaumont? 

Charlotte’s mood worsened. Just thinking about a smiling Sofia in the arms of that man was enough to make her blood boil. 

That woman doesn’t deserve it! 

Sofia was already born with everything. She was able to get anything that she wanted, anytime, anywhere. And just like

most things, Sofia married someone who would dare to bully a pregnant woman just to keep her happy! Why does she deserve to have happiness when Charlotte is currently struggling? 

Why? 

Just why was the world like this? 

‘Calm down‘ Charlotte slowly composed herself. 

“Alexander and I have… a complicated dynamic,” Teresa said after a brief silence. “The fact that I am not doing anything against him doesn’t mean that I cannot. It’s just that… I do not want him to harm my son. As a mother… you should understand what I feel, right?” 

Charlotte slowly nodded. Right now her priority is also the child in her stomach. She would do everything to protect it from anyone!  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I cannot help you,” Charlotte said. If protecting her little one meant stepping away from all this then she would gladly do that. 

Teresa looked surprised. “I can promise you- 

“Oh please stop it, woman.” Charlotte interrupted her. “Can you not see that you are helpless against him? You cannot even protect your son and yet you wanted to scheme against him?” 

“I do not appreciate your tone, Charlotte. I only wanted to see you because I thought you were smart enough to- 

“To harm my child?” Charlotte sneered. “You should understand me. After all, you are a mother too.” Charlotte was not dumb enough to risk it. She doesn’t know if Alexander was only bluffing and she was not interested to find out. Slowly, she got up. “I am leaving.” 

Teresa narrowed her eyes at her. “Sit down,” she hissed. 

However, Charlotte was no longer interested in listening to the woman’s words. Instead of sitting down, she started walking towards the door of the private room that Teresa booked for this meeting. To her surprise, however, Teresa suddenly approached her and grabbed her arm. 

Charlotte flinched, surprised at the woman’s aggression. “What are you- Let me go!” 

“I told you to sit down!” Teresa said. “I am not done talking!” 

“I said let me go!” Charlotte used her other hand to try and pry Teresa’s fingers, but the older woman was stronger. Charlotte yanked back, her surprise morphing into anger. “Get off me!” she spat. The fight for control escalated. 

Fueled by anger and desperation, Teresa dug her fingers into Charlotte’s arm, her grip surprisingly tight. Charlotte’s adrenaline surged as she shoved back with all her might. 

The sudden force sent them both off balance. Teresa stumbled backward, a yelp escaping her lips. Charlotte, however, misjudged her footing on the plush carpet. Her ankle twisted beneath her, and with a gasp of pain, she went crashing down to the floor.

The impact sent a jolt straight up her leg, and she cried out, cradling her ankle. Her vision swam for a moment, the room tilting at a disturbing angle. Looking up, she saw Teresa frozen, a flicker of horror crossing her face before it hardened back into a mask of defiance. 

“You…” Teresa started her voice tight. But Charlotte wasn’t interested in apologies or justifications as a stabbing pain suddenly assaulted her stomach. Her face immediately paled, her eyes wide as the smell of blood filled her nostrils.
