He Made My Love Disappear

I'm seven months along with my second pregnancy when a truck almost hits me. My husband threatens the doctor like a maniac. "I'll make all of you retire prematurely if anything goes wrong with my wife!"

Before I enter the operating theater, I can't help thinking he's being too anxious. The truck merely brushed past me and made me fall. He doesn't need to be so panicked.

However, when I open my eyes again, I find that my belly is flat. I crawl out of bed in a panic and head to the door, where I overhear Lucian Jacobe talking to the doctor.

"Mrs. Jacobe wasn't in a major accident, sir. The child could've been saved. Why did you insist on aborting it? It was a baby boy, too."

His phone was on loudspeaker.

"Mr. Jacobe, did I do a good job? I made sure to avoid harming the mother when I hit her. The damage was just enough to get rid of the child."

Lucian responded to the caller, but I couldn't make out his words. My heart was already in unbearable pain.

It turned out that Lucian had never forgotten Jennifer Slutter when she left him and went abroad. He even had a child with her after we were together.

If they loved each other so much, why did he agree to marry me? Why had he impregnated me twice?

He got rid of our firstborn to make way for their child. And now, his reason for getting rid of our second one was because he was afraid Jennifer would be sad.

"Summer? Why are you crying?" Lucian walked in and hurriedly wiped my tears to no avail. He grasped my cold hands resting on my abdomen. He must have thought that I was worried about my baby.

As his eyes turned red, he softly reassured me. "The doctor said they couldn't save the baby… But it's okay;
