My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 1

The night was as black as ink.

A gut-wrenching scream came from the warehouse at the backyard of the Daugherty mansion.

Adina Daugherty’s face was pale, and her cracked lips bloodless.

She suffered a contraction, and blood gushed out of her private parts.

She had just been pregnant for eight months, so why did she feel like she was about to give birth…

Was she going into preterm labor?

It was extremely dangerous to give birth when she was only pregnant for eight months…

The moment that thought entered her mind, she didn’t waste a single second more and crawled to the door on all four, then slammed her fists against it.

“Mr. Granger, I’m about to give birth. Please send me to the hospital. I’m begging you…”

A man in his forties sat outside the door while smoking.

“Miss Adina, you don’t even know who the father of your children is,” he said coldly. “Do you think the master and madam will send you to the hospital so that everyone could see how much of an embarrassment you are? Just stop causing a ruckus and stay quietly inside!”

Adina started weeping uncontrollably.

Eight months ago, reporters caught illicit pictures of her in a hotel, and she became the biggest laughing stock in the city.

Then, she discovered that she was pregnant. Her father found her an embarrassment to him and tried to force her to abort the babies, but before the operation she suddenly jumped off the operating table and fled.

She would rather die than abort her babies.

After that, her father ordered the servants to lock her in the warehouse, where she had to stay all by herself.

She was locked up for eight months and didn’t get to step out even once during that time.

“Mr. Granger, I’m begging you. Please save my children, or they’ll die… Please, help me…”

Searing pain surged through Adina’s abdomen, and her pleas grew weaker.

But the man in front of the door acted as if he did not hear her. He continued to smoke in a relaxed manner.

Blood continued rushing out of Adina’s private area, and her dress became drenched. She was now sitting in a pool of her own blood.

In despair, she grabbed the door handle and started throwing herself at the door.

She could not let her babies die in her womb! She refused to!

“Are you mad?! What are you doing?!”

Mr. Granger opened the door in anger and annoyance. He ignored the blood and grabbed Adina by the hair to drag her deeper into the warehouse and away from the door.

But then…

“What’s going on?” a cool voice asked from nearby.
