Cecilia said nothing. After hanging in the air for so long, her stomach felt ufortable.
But Wesley thought she was feeling guilty and didn’t dare speak.
“Speak.”
He insisted she give him an exnation.
Otherwise, he couldn’t let this go.
“Do you realize this is the tenth floor? One wrong move and you’d be smashed to pieces.”
Wesley was still filled with lingering fear.
His heart was still suspended in midair.
Especially when he thought of her letting go, he wished he could give her a good lesson.
“Who taught you to threaten people like this?”
He was furious.
Cecilia finally understood what Wesley meant.
“You believe what Larissa said? You really think I staged all this to threaten you?”
Wesley was so angry he spoke without thinking.
“Isn’t it true? Someone like you is capable of anything.”

Cecilia felt a chill in her heart. She stared at Wesley. “Someone like me? What kind of person am I?”
Wesley fell silent.
He knew he’d gone too far, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
“Cecilia, I know you don’t like Larissa, but the marriage alliance is set in stone. Don’t y tricks.”
y tricks?
Cecilia let out a bitterugh. “If that’s what you think of me, then why did you save me? Wouldn’t it be better to just let me die?”
“Cecilia, I’m trying to reason with you,” Wesley was almost beside himself with anger. “Stop talking nonsense.”
He was clearly worried about her, but she insisted on twisting his intentions.
Cecilia was about to speak again when a sudden sharp pain struck her lower abdomen.
She bent over and slid off the sofa, a cold sweat instantly breaking out on her forehead.
“Wesley, my stomach hurts.”
Wesley’s expression changed instantly, forgetting to scold her.
He picked her up and rushed out.
After the examination, the doctor immediately gave her an injection to protect the pregnancy.
Cecilia was listless, leaning weakly against the headboard

Wesley stood by the hospital bed, expressionless, his thoughts churning.
She had threatened him with her life. Was her refusal toe back up a sign that she didn’t want the baby either?
“Cecilia, do you think that if you lose the baby, I’ll let you go?”
He leaned over, gripping her chin, his face dark and menacing.
“Let me tell you, that’s impossible. I will never let you go, not in this lifetime.”
Cecilia was left with only one feeling.
Utter speechlessness.
All he could think about was her staging everything, and now he even suspected she didn’t want the baby.
“See? You never believe me.”
Her eyes grew moist, but she refused to show any vulnerability in front of him.
“How am I supposed to believe you? Wasn’t it you who let go on purpose, threatening me with your life?” Wesley took two steps back, his expression icy. “Didn’t you know that hanging there would put the baby in danger?”
“If you hadn’t locked me in there, how would I have been in danger?” Cecilia snapped back, “You’re the one who brought the danger.”
“Even now, you’re still ming me?” Wesley was so angry heughed.
Cecilia turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

“That person–the one you saw when you came in–is the real culprit.”
“What?” Wesley was stunned.
The culprit?
Cecilia didn’t want to exin, but thinking about it, she didn’t want to take the me for something so serious.
“After you locked me up, that person came not long after. He tried to assault me and forced me to the window. I fell out by ident while struggling.”
She recounted the dangerous moment with a nk expression.
Even now, her heart was still pounding wildly.
She looked up at him, her gaze full of irony.
“Thanks to you locking me up, otherwise I wouldn’t have encountered such danger.”
“If you wanted to stand up for Larissa, you could have just said so. Why go so far as to have someone do this to me?” She deliberately used his own words against him.
Wesley tried to exin, “I didn’t…”
“And I called you, but you didn’t answer,” Cecilia added.
Wesley took out his phone, only to find it had run out of battery and shut off at some point.
“I couldn’t reach you, so I had to ask Corrine to find you,” Cecilia said, enunciating each word.
She looked at him coldly. “The door was locked. How did that person

get in? Mr. Carlton, instead of investigating, you’re here using me?”
Wesley was left speechless.
He mmed the door and left.
A few minutester, Corrine came in.
Her eyes were red, clearly from crying. “Ci, are you alright?”
Cecilia gave a bitter smile. “I’m alright.”
But her heart felt empty.
