Chapter 2 Teach Her a Lesson

Courtney took off her shoes and lay down on the operating table. Despite having prepared herself, she still felt freezingly cold. I can’t have this baby. I’m still an undergraduate, so I’ll be looked down upon… “I’m sorry, baby…” Courtney showed a hint of reluctance as she put her hand on her belly. Just when the surgery was about to begin, the door to the operating room was forcefully kicked open with a loud bang. Then, a group of men wearing black suits swarmed in, instantly crowding the whole operating room. “W-Who are you guys?” The doctor and nurses were startled by this unexpected situation. The scalpel dropped onto the operating table with a clatter, awaking Courtney. Before she could realize what was happening, a man came over and held her down right away before giving her a shot of a sedative. The doctor and nurses were stupefied by this series of events. The man—who hadn’t left yet—took a thick pile of cash out of his pocket and tossed it to the doctor right away while saying coldly, “This woman has never come to your place. Got it?” “G-Got it.” The doctor and the few nurses trembled with fright. Courtney woke up from anesthesia in a daze to find herself in a luxurious bedroom. Coincidentally, someone pushed the door open and came in at this moment. The person who entered was a middle-aged man with an exquisitely made dish in his hands. Seeing Courtney looking at him warily, he greeted her with a smile. “You’re awake, Miss Hunter?” “H-How did you know that my surname is Hunter?” Courtney raised her guard; this man knew who she was, yet she didn’t know him. “Why did you guys bring me here?” “Miss Hunter, what happened that night… was an accident.” They had arranged the wrong lady for that night! The butler said apologetically, “Our Young Master didn’t want to pursue this matter, but we didn’t expect you to get pregnant, Miss Hunter. But since you’re pregnant, he must have the baby.” Courtney instantly understood that the Young Master he was referring to must be the detestable man to whom she had lost her virginity! “Why? What gives him the right to do so? Tell your Young Master that I’ll abort my baby as I want to!” The butler had no choice but to hand Courtney the newspaper that he had brought with him. “Why don’t you take a look at this first?” Courtney didn’t want to take the newspaper from him, but she inadvertently caught sight of an eye-catching title on the newspaper. It read, ‘The Hunter Group Exposed for Using Fake Materials! How Should the Hunter Group Solve This Crisis After Its Shares Plummeted This Morning?’ Upon that, Courtney snatched the newspaper from the butler. After reading the news report, her face turned as white as a sheet, and she glared at the butler furiously. “This was your Young Master’s doing, wasn’t it? H-How could your Young Master be so shameless…” The butler didn’t turn a hair. “Miss Hunter, the Hunters will be alright as long as you give birth to the baby. Not only that, but you’ll also get 20 million. I believe you won’t want the Hunters to go bankrupt, Miss Hunter, will you?” Courtney clenched the newspaper hard while the butler silently handed a document to her. Looking at the document, Courtney hesitated for a long time. In the end, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, saying, “I’ll sign it!” The butler was obviously satisfied after getting the signed document. He said, “Please rest assured, Miss Hunter. Our Young Master will certainly fulfill his promise once the baby is born safely.” Eight months later… Rumble! The sudden clap of thunder outside woke Courtney from her sleep with a startle. Courtney only felt unbearable pain in her belly. Summoning up all her strength, she reached out her hand and rang the little bell on the nightstand. Then, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell unconscious. “It’s here! The baby has come out!” Courtney gasped for breath as she vaguely heard a baby’s loud and clear cries. She opened her eyes with some difficulty, but the nurse had carried the baby away before she could see what it looked like. Several minutes later, she was transferred to the ward, and the butler came in. Courtney was in so much pain that she was still clutching the sheets. “Where’s the baby?” “The baby has been sent to Young Master’s place. He’s a healthy boy,” answered the butler. Then, he put an envelope on the cabinet. “Here is a check for 20 million. Thank you, Miss Hunter.” With that, he got ready to leave. “No, please let me see the baby…” Flustered, Courtney threw back the sheets and was about to scramble out of bed. It’s my baby no matter what! However, she was too weak, so she fell onto the floor right away. She could only watch the butler leaving as the spasms of pain in her belly caused her to cry out in agony, “Please, let me see the baby…” Several minutes later, a nurse came to deliver medicine to Courtney. Seeing that she was lying on the floor, the nurse quickly helped her up, only to find her hand covered in blood. The nurse’s face instantly turned deathly pale. As she ran out of the room in a fluster, Courtney—who was slipping into a coma—could vaguely hear her saying in panic, “Bad news, Dr. Gill! This pregnant woman has another baby in her womb!”
