The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!-Chapter 189: Once And For All

"I am fine, Liam, it’s really not a big deal!" Amelie moved up in the hospital bed but her husband gently pressed her back down, shaking his head almost scoldingly.

"You are fine now, but people don’t just get sick right away after standing in cold water! I want you to stay under the doctor’s supervision until tomorrow evening at least and only then will I think what to do about you."

His nagging tone made Amelie chuckle for a brief second before the man shot her a stern, warning glance which made her immediately assume a serious expression.

He liked that her husband was worried about her, but sometimes it was just too much.

"Why did you jump after that stupid dog anyway?" Liam continued, "He might look useless but he can swim!"

Amelie sighed and shook her head, "The waves were just too strong, he was drowning!"

The man sighed as well. "Like I said, you are just too kind... I really hope you won’t get sick, Lily. Not because there is a possibility that you are already pregnant, but because I genuinely worry for you."

With a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips, Amelie cupped Liam’s cheek, and he instantly caught it, flinging slightly as he felt the coldness of his wife’s skin.

"I will go get some hot tea," he told her, leaving his seat beside her, "You just rest and don’t worry about anything."

"Alright."

Liam offered the woman a short wave and left the room, sliding the door shut behind him. He turned to the right to see if there was someone who could direct him to the cafeteria when his eyes met Richard’s dark glare.

Marching angrily past him, Liam grabbed the man by the wrist and pulled him around the closest corner.

"What the hell are you doing next to her room?" Liam scowled, almost growling but Richard only looked back at him with empty eyes. "How is she?"

"None of your damn business! Go back to that witch you call your wife and don’t you dare show yourself around Lily’s room again!"

"Samantha got hurt too, you know!" Richard tried to retort by the weakness of his voice betrayed his real feelings. "You are lucky that I am not going to press charges against you for letting that mutt of yours attack my pregnant wife! My child could have been endangered!"

"Ah, yes, your child," Liam couldn’t help but scoff. "But you know, Mr. Clark, as a future father myself, I can tell you the same thing. Your wife provoked my wife and my baby could have been endangered."

"What?" Richard’s face turned even paler from shock. "Amelie... is pregnant?"

"Whether she is pregnant or not is none of your business. But I do want to warn you, Mr. Clark," Liam took a step forward, closing the distance between them, his dark gray eyes flickering with menace. "If you or anyone related to you dares to do anything remotely harmful to Amelie again, I swear to God, I will destroy you."

With that, he offered the man one last dangerous grin, before walking away from him, leaving Richard alone, listening to the loud drumming in his ears.

"Richard, where have you been?!" Samantha whined when her husband finally returned to her hospital room. "Don’t leave me alone for so long! I am scared of hospitals."

"What did the doctor say?" Richard ignored his wife’s complaints, getting straight to the point.

Samantha frowned, pulling up the blanket and showing the man white bondage on her ankle. "Thankfully, not much damage. The wound got treated and it won’t scar. Since the dog wasn’t a stray, I don’t need any shots."

"What about the baby?"

’This again!’ The wrinkle between Samantha’s brows deepened as her chest trembled with annoyance. ’He doesn’t care whether I am in pain or how I am feeling. It’s only the baby!’

"It’s fine," she almost gritted through her teeth, struggling to sound as calm as possible.

"Good. Let’s go back home then."

The man grabbed Samantha’s purse and started walking toward the door when he suddenly paused, turning back to look at his wife. "What’s wrong?"

"I think I want to spend the night here," Samantha replied in a quiet voice. freёnovelkiss.com

"You said you were scared of hospitals," Richard answered almost carelessly.

"Yes, but... Well, I am worried about the baby too, you know... I think it’s better to be safe."

"Fine," Richard sighed and slid the door open. "I will send someone to fetch you tomorrow then."

He left without even giving Sam an opportunity to say anything else. The woman watched the closed door silently for several long moments before narrowing her eyes, her fists clenching at the edge of the soft blanket.

’He doesn’t care anymore, huh?’ Samantha’s lips stretched into a bitter smile. ’Yes, I am only of value to him right now because I am pregnant. Soon, he will discard me like I am absolutely nothing and I won’t let him do that, no matter what.’

Her situation was truly desperate.

Richard’s behavior continued its erratic tracks while more and more obstacles kept appearing on her way to securing her future.

Once again, she had no choice but to fight to save herself.

’Kyle is mine now. I will do whatever it takes to transfer him those shares to secure my financial standing with his help, but... I can’t risk having my past torment me again. I need to take care of those who dared to mess with me once and for all.’

A devious plan began to form inside her feverish brain.

Reaching out to her purse, Samantha retrieved her phone and started typing a message whose recipient was none other than Kyle Marshall himself.

"I need you to do one last thing for me before we proceed with our plan."

Kyle’s response did not make itself wait. "Sure. What is it?"

Samantha’s lips stretched into another wicked smirk, her fingers dancing over the screen of her phone. "Help me warn someone."
