Chapter 441 Lydia Had a Premonition

Dalton’s composure and confidence made Chandler’s heart sink. He believed in Meryl, but it seemed what Dalton had said was true. Could it be… No! No way!

“Dalton, do you think that I dare not kill you because you are hospitalized due to severe injuries now?”

Chandler grabbed Dalton and punched him in the stomach. Dalton instantly spat out a large gash of blood, which stained the white sheet beneath him. Chandler attacked him with all his strength. Dalton felt dizzy, and his brain went blank.

The place on his chest where the surgery had been performed was in great pain. Even at a certain moment, he even thought that he was going to die.

The ward was excessively noisy, prompting Lydia to rush in. Seeing Dalton being beaten, she immediately stopped in front of him to protect him.

“Uncle Chandler! What are you doing? Despite being the family head, how could you be so cruel to Dalton? What did he do?! Doctor! Doctor!”

The situation in the ward was terrible. Upon entering, Lydia caught a whiff of the heavy smell of blood. She had no doubt that Chandler would have killed Dalton if she had come a bit later. Tears welled up in her eyes as she called for doctors and nurses. Soon, a group of medical staff poured in. Due to the emergency and the need for treatment, Chandler and Lydia were kicked out. He left the hospital with an icy expression, but she felt as if she was going to collapse.

In the morning, Dalton had hit her in the stomach with a cup in the ward, which appeared to have caused the baby harm. The doctor ordered a series of examinations, all of which Lydia completed. The doctor concluded that there were no abnormalities and the fetus’ heartbeat was alright. However, she still experienced significant discomfort in her stomach, and the sensation of the baby falling caused her unease.

She needed the baby. Without it, she and Dalton would have to divorce. He also needed the baby. Otherwise, he may be driven out of the country by Chandler at any time.

The more Lydia pondered about it, the more resentful she grew. When other women were pregnant, they were cherished like princesses. Yet, why did Dalton make every effort to get rid of her and their child? How could her life become so miserable? She got along well with Dalton, but why did their relationship gradually deteriorate after their marriage? Lydia felt as if she had reached an impasse, unconsciously pushing him further and further away. How could she make a change?

The anonymous messages Chandler had received on his mobile phone were sent by Lydia. She was having a hard time, and, of course, she did not want Meryl to feel at ease. She couldn’t be the only one who was heartbroken. She sent the pictures in the hope that everyone would suffer as much as she did. As Lydia expected, Chandler lost control and beat Dalton up. However, she was surprised that Chandler, who had always been calm and restrained, was furious. He punched Dalton hard, regardless of the consequences!

Lydia had a premonition. But Chandler’s ruthlessness towards Dalton assured her that Meryl would lose Chandler, and she was thrilled.

Chapter 442 What Should I Do?

After Chandler left, Meryl called Anne to fill her in on everything that had happened recently. “Anne, I need your help. Chandler just left home. Do you think he’s really upset? Could this get serious?”

Anne was surprised to hear from Meryl, who had been out of touch because Dalton had kept her captive. She hadn’t expected Dalton to go to such extremes, showing complete disregard for the consequences. Now, Meryl had to deal with the problems he had caused.

“To be honest, most men wouldn’t take this well. Chandler might be questioning what went on during those twenty days with you two.”

After all, Dalton and Meryl had been alone in the same house for over twenty days, not just a day or two.

“What should I do?” Meryl asked.

A simple explanation wouldn’t cut it. Even if Chandler wanted to believe her, there might still be lingering doubts.

“I can’t do much for you, but aren’t you pregnant? The baby is a connection between you two. Maybe you should show some vulnerability to him.”

Feeling uncertain, Meryl ended the call and decided to make dinner for Chandler.
