Killed My Baby to Save Hers

In the darkness closing in around me, I thought I saw a faint beam of light.

For a moment, I believed Eugene had finally come to his senses and rushed back to save us.

But the person who walked in wasn't him. It was the young nurse who hadn't taken part in hurting me.

She hurried over, and the moment she saw me covered in blood, clutching my baby in my arms, tears spilled down her face.

"I'm so sorry… I'm actually a nurse here. I only agreed to help with the delivery because my family needs the money. I didn't know those people weren't real doctors. I couldn't stand watching them hurt you, so I slipped out. I never thought they'd go that far…"

Her hands trembled as she pulled out her phone and started recording the scene.

She filmed my blood-soaked body and the baby lying weak in my arms.

"I'm sending this video to Mr. Cobb. Once he sees what they did to you, he'll come for sure."

After sending the video, she immediately called Eugene.

"Mr. Cobb! Your wife and your baby are in really bad shape! Please come take a look at them right now…"

When Eugene saw the video, his voice turned tense.

"I hired the best doctors. Why is there so much bleeding? When I'm done here, I'll deal with them. Rachel, hold on. I'm coming over right now."

Before he could hang up, Fiona's crying voice drifted through the phone. "Eugene! There's so much blood… I'm so scared. Am I going to die?"

The doctor assisting Fiona sounded alarmed. "Mr. Cobb, Ms. Smith's condition is very critical. If she can't calm down, her emotional distress could cause severe bleeding."

Eugene's voice tightened with panic. "But my wife…"

The doctor seemed to look at the video for a moment before speaking again. "Your wife does appear to be bleeding heavily, but her mental state looks stable."

Eugene let out a heavy sigh.

"Rachel, why are you still making a scene at a time like this? Fiona is in a life-or-death situation, and you're having a nurse fake evidence for you. Just behave yourself. As soon as Fiona is out of danger, I'll come see you."

His words made my entire body shake with rage.

Before he could hang up, I grabbed the phone.

"You're a monster! The people you hired aren't doctors. Fiona paid them to torture me! The baby and I are lying here, covered in blood, and you still think I'm pretending?"

My chest rose and fell violently. Every movement sent fresh blood pouring out.

Eugene seemed irritated by my shouting and gave a cold snort.

"You've got plenty of energy to yell. Sounds like you're doing just fine. If you're angry, take it out on me. Don't go accusing Fiona. She's in the emergency delivery room right now. How could she possibly be hurting you?

"Since you gave birth to our baby today, I'll let this slide. Just stay where you are until Fiona is out of danger."

Then he hung up.

Rage and hatred churned through my chest. All I could do was clutch my baby and cry into the phone in despair.

The blood kept flowing. My vision grew darker and darker.

In that final moment of desperation, I used the last of my strength to send my father a message.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a hospital gurney.

The nurse from earlier explained that a doctor had just returned from a trip. After hearing her plea for help, he agreed to try to save us.

Hot tears rushed down my face.

We were finally going to be saved!

But just as the gurney was about to roll into the emergency room, a familiar figure stepped forward and blocked the way.

It was Eugene.
