My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 82

“If you hadn’t pushed Barbara, she wouldn’t have fallen ill. You have to come with me to the hospital.”

Ignoring my pregnancy, Thomas dragged me out of the room.

Once we arrived at the hospital, Mike and Thomas anxiously accompanied Barbara for her checkup.

Taking advantage of the moment, I grabbed the abortion appointment form and swallowed the medicine the doctor had prescribed.

As I was about to leave the hospital, I overheard a familiar voice in the hallway.

“Barbara’s illness can’t wait any longer. We need to extract Susan’s umbilical cord blood to save her.”

Thomas furrowed his brow, his expression dark.

“But Susan is only eight months pregnant. Taking the umbilical cord blood now could harm the baby.”

Mike looked at him, sneering.

“Could it be that you’ve developed feelings for Susan? Don’t forget whose child she’s carrying. What was your reason for marrying her?”

Thomas glared at Mike.

“How could I possibly fall for an ugly woman carrying someone else’s child? My heart has always been with Barbara. I’m just worried that something might go wrong.”

“She’s eight months pregnant. How could anything go wrong? The baby has already fully developed.”

“Besides, even if something happens, if it can save Barbara, that child would be lucky.”

Thomas spoke as if he had made up his mind, his gaze as cold as ice.

“I’ll personally perform the procedure to extract Susan’s umbilical cord blood for Barbara.”

I trembled uncontrollably, feeling as though I were facing two demons.

Looking out at the pitch-black night, I turned and ran.

Just as I reached the underground parking lot, two tall figures appeared, blocking my path.

“Baby, where are you going? The obstetrician just told me that there’s an issue with your prenatal checkup, and you need to get re-examined. Come back to the hospital with me right now.”

Thomas stepped forward and tried to grab my hand, but I violently shook it off.

“I had my last checkup just a week ago, and now you’re telling me there’s a problem. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

Thomas’s face darkened.

“I’m the head of the obstetrics department. Do you not trust what I say? If I say there’s a problem, then there’s a problem. Come with me to the hospital right now.”

He blocked my way.

“I’m not going. Even if there is a problem, you should have contacted me earlier. I want to go home and rest now.”

My voice turned cold.

Mike stepped forward and grabbed my hand, then looked at Thomas.

“Thomas, stop wasting time with her. Just drag her to the hospital. Barbara can’t wait any longer. She’s been texting me saying she’s in a lot of pain.”

As soon as Thomas heard that Barbara was in pain, he immediately became anxious.

“You need to come with me to the hospital right now. The baby has to be delivered immediately.”

He wrapped it around my wrists again and again until the pressure made my skin break and bleed.

The two of them pushed me forward, and just as we reached the elevator, the door opened, and a heavy figure walked out.

It was Emily Burton, a pregnant woman with the same due date as me.

“Susan, what are you doing here at this time?”

Emily looked at me in surprise.

“Help...”

I tried to speak, but Thomas immediately clamped his hand tightly over my mouth.

“My wife suddenly had severe stomach pains. She might be going into labor, so I brought her here to get checked.”

Emily looked at Thomas with some suspicion.

“Wasn’t Susan’s prenatal checkup all smooth? How could it suddenly flare up like this?”

Seeing a glimmer of hope, I urgently let out a muffled sound.

But Thomas pressed his hand even harder over my mouth.

“Wife, you’re really uncomfortable, aren’t you? Let me take you to get checked right away.”

After speaking, Thomas turned to Emily.

“Maybe she ate something wrong recently. I’m the head of obstetrics, and my wife’s situation is urgent. I need to take her upstairs now.”
