"Hey, my son said... Ah!"
"Stop hitting her. If she doesn't want to eat, then forget it. What if she really dies? Just like what she said, there is only one mother..."
Coralie spoke for her as she saw that one of the kidnappers had beaten Lillian brutally with an iron rod!
Lillian clutched her stomach as she let out a blood-curdling scream.
In fact, Coralie didn't want to care about Lilian at all but she could not watch her die though Lillian had dug her own grave since the beginning.
"Do you think I care? I have mountains of debts. If I'm caught, I'm dead. Do you think I will be afraid? You b*tch!"
That kidnapper seemed to have been provoked by Lillian. He did not bother about Coralie's persuasion and continued to hit Lillian with all his strength!
"Ahhh!"
Lillian screamed miserably. Coralie struggled to move her legs to the other side and tried to persuade the kidnapper, but the iron rod was constantly waving!
Coralie wanted to dodge, but because her legs were tied up, she accidentally fell straight to one side and landed on Lillian's legs.
The iron rod then landed partially on Lillian's leg and Coralie's body.
This was the first time Coralie has been beaten by a rod. Because most of the force from the rod landed on her, she was in extreme pain and gritted her teeth while grimacing. She could not hold back her pain and scream.
"Forget it!"
The other kidnappers saw that Coralie was willing to block the rod for Lillian, and they admired her courage. They also came to persuade the provoked man.
"D*mn, since this old hag loves to talk so much, let me beat her to death!"
The guy still refused to let Lillian go but he was stopped by the other kidnappers.
They continued to eat. Lillian laid on the ground with a swollen face, a painful body, and tears streamed down her cheeks. However, after getting beaten, she was well-behaved and did not dare to speak anymore.
She laid on the ground weeping silently without moving, as if she had suffered a great deal.
"Auntie Ford, where are you hurting?"
Coralie inched over to Lillian's side little by little. She was only hit once but the pain was unbearable. She could not imagine the pain that Lillian was in after getting beaten several times.
When Lillian heard her, she closed her eyes and ignored Coralie.
Seeing this, Coralie decided not to humiliate herself.
She looked at the steamed bun on the ground, which was covered in dust, and felt a sudden surge in her stomach.
"Ugh!" She retched.
Coralie could not move as she was tied up. She could only turn her face to the side but was unable to vomit anything out.
Originally, Coralie did not think much about it, but Lillian's eyes fluttered open suddenly. She looked at her and asked in a hoarse voice, "When was your last period?"
"Me?"
Coralie was really surprised that Lillian took the initiative to speak to her. She then calculated the days in her head.
"You even need to think about this?"
Seeing that Coralie did not answer her immediately, Lillian rolled her eyes.
"Probably last month... I think it was the beginning of last month?" It was the end of the month now. Coralie's face immediately changed as she retched. "Am I..."
"Are you mad? Why did you block the rod for me when you are pregnant? You are carrying the Holland family's offspring in you. I thought you were lying to them before!"
Hearing this, Lillian's face darkened and she began to scold Coralie.
"How could it be..." Coralie did not expect that she would be pregnant at such a dangerous time.
She did not even know what would happen next. How would she protect the child in her belly?
