Chapter 13
Only by divorcing Alexander could she have a baby of her own.
What happened last year when Quinn was pregnant came back to her. That day, she went home ha with the report, naively thinking that if she told Alexander and Kaitlyn that she was pregnant, the attitude would change, and Alexander would love her a bit more,
Yet the harsh reality was like a slap in her face, shattering her heart.
Alexander carelessly tossed the sheet, and it fluttered onto the sofa, just like her heart that sunk fr heaven to the depths of despair.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose. “What a nuisance.”
He didn’t even consider her baby a life. For him, it was just an object.
Kaitlyn was even more ruthless. She had someone hold Quinn down and force her onto the operatin table. With one injection of anesthesia, when Quinn woke up, all that was left was a lump of flesh ar

In the center of the image were two shapes. She gently caressed the indistinct form of her baby, unal to resist her smile.
