Chapter 811
What did she mean, he died in a woman’s bed? Was this crazy woman incapable of speaking properly?
If Gwen weren’t his future mother-in-law, Lawrence would have punched her lights out. He didn’t even know what Seraphina had told them, but now they were literally cursing him to die.
Zachary kept his eyes glued to the floor, shrinking behind Lawrence to minimize his presence.
Having witnessed his boss make a colossal fool of himself today, he knew he was probably going to be the punching bag once they got back.
“Don’t be scared, Sera. If Lawrence is dead, he’s dead. I’ll find you an even better match p>
Gwen continued comforting her daughter, oblivious to the new arrivals.
Sebastian had spotted Lawrence, but he was so furious he refused to acknowledge him.
“What the hell are you talking about p>
Lawrence couldn’t take it anymore.
Gwen’s head snapped up at the sound of his voice. “Ghost p>
Lawrence’s expression grew even stormier. He was so enraged he temporarily lost the ability to speak.
But thanks to Gwen’s screech, everyone was now staring at Lawrence.
Since walking through the door, Seraphina had been crying too hard to process what anyone was saying. Hearing Lawrence’s voice made her shoot up.
“You have the nerve to show your face here p>
The built-up fury caused her to snap. She charged at Lawrence, swinging her fists and kicking wildly.
Deep down, Seraphina was actually afraid of Lawrence. Even though he usually acted sweet to her, she knew she could never overpower him when it really counted.
Back at his office, with that tramp Quinn and his employees around, she knew Lawrence wouldn’t have hesitated to hit her if she made a scene.
But here, in her own home, he wouldn’t dare try anything.
At first, Lawrence didn’t move. He let her hit him, figuring her pathetic punches wouldn’t hurt anyway. After all, he really had been caught red-handed.
Sebastian and Gwen gave half-hearted scoldings, but neither stepped in to pull their daughter away.
In their minds, since Lawrence had wronged her, it was only fair to let Sera vent her anger.
But just as she went up on her tiptoes to claw at his face, he violently shoved her away. With a loud thud, she collapsed onto the floor several feet away.
“Ah p>
This was immediately followed by Seraphina’s agonizing screams.
“Sera p>
Sebastian and Gwen rushed toward their daughter, helping her sit up. Seraphina clutched her stomach, crying and screaming in pain.
“Lawrence, you animal! Didn’t you know she was pregnant p>
Gwen shrieked, losing her mind with rage.
Under normal circumstances, she would never dare curse at him like this.
“Pregnant? Pregnant with whose baby p>
Lawrence blurted out instinctively.
The moment those words left his mouth, Sebastian-who had just been reprimanding his wife for swearing-lunged forward to beat Lawrence only to be field back by the butler
“Whose baby do you think it is?! Yours, obviously! My daughter was perfectly pure before she got engaged to you p>
But how was that possible? He had been with Quinn for years without a pregnancy scare, yet he had only slept with Sera a handful of times, and she was already knocked up?
What Lawrence failed to consider
was that women like Quinn were seasoned veterans of the dating scene They knew exactly how to protect themselves and always used contraception.
Seraphina, on the other hand, was entirely inexperienced. After doing that, she had
hidden it away in shame, too terrified to mention it to her elders.
If anyone was going to get caught off guard, it was going to be her.
The family doctor arrived swiftly. After a brief examination, he urged, “Get her to the hospital immediately. The baby is at risk p>
The Quinn family held shares in the hospital, so the ambulance arrived in record
time.
Seeing that his boss was still
shell-shocked, Zachary leaned in and
whispered, “If you don’t want this
engagement to fall apart, go help them right now. Apologize immediately.
If the baby survives, she won’t be able to leave you p>
