Ch. 276..280: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 276-280

Chapter 276

When she came out of the shower, she saw her children playing with her phone.

Charlie held up Anne's phone and asked, "Mama, what's the password?"

"Mama changed her password," Chloe complained.

"Why?" Chris asked.

"I want to watch cartoons," Charlie said.

Anne grabbed the phone and keyed in the password. By the time the triplets turned to look, the phone was already unlocked, so they did not catch sight of the password.

Her children had excellent memories and could often memorize things after seeing them only once, so Anne had to make sure that they could not see it. She would be terrified to death if they tried to send messages or call Anthony behind her back.

She tried to look for cartoon videos and suddenly received a call.

"Mama needs to take this." Anne stood up and left the room.

The triplets immediately hurdled up to discuss.

"It's not Papa."

"Doesn't look like it.

"Mama looks different."

Indeed, it was not Anthony, but Sarah who was calling.

"What is it?" Anne asked.

"Let's meet tomorrow. Are you working tomorrow? We can go for dinner after you get off work. I will decide where we eat."

Anne saw no reason to refuse and agreed.

Perhaps it was because she felt like she owed Anne. Sarah had been trying to compensate and had been doing whatever she could to get closer to Anne ever since she got a divorce. She would frequently ask Anne out for dinner or ask if she wanted to move in with her. If Anne refused, Sarah would offer to cook for her, so Anne would often come home to steaming food on the dinner table.

Anne was not stone-hearted and felt moved by Sarah's effort. All things aside, she still cared about Sarah, and they had always interacted like mother and daughter years ago. She simply had not taken the step to call Sarah 'Mom'.

Anne stood by the door and watched as her children played on the bed. Even if it was to be a good example to her mother, she could not neglect her own mother.

The next day, she got off work on time, and Sarah drove by her office building to pick her up. Sarah's car was not as luxurious as the one she owned before.

As soon as Anne got into the car, Sarah handed her a cup of milk tea. "I bought this on the way. I heard it's good, but don't drink too much of it, or you won't be able to eat much later."

"You aren't having any?"

"I'm fine. I'm on a diet right now. Our metabolism slows down after turning thirty, so I shouldn't be drinking any of that. It might make me look older than I actually am." Sarah felt chills down her spine at the thought of it. "You are still young, so you can eat whatever you want."

Anne took a sip from the straw.

Sarah continued driving and asked, "How is it?"

Anne nodded. "It's nice."

"That's good to hear. I will buy you another next time."

"It's fine, I can buy it myself." Anne did not want to trouble anyone, even if that someone was her own mother.

"You don't have to be all polite with your own mother. Eat and do whatever you want, and I will try my best to satisfy your every need."

Anne quieted down as she recalled the cruel words she had said to Sarah before about how she had grown up and did not need a mother any longer.

The truth was that she simply did not have the courage to ask for a mother.

Sarah seemed to have noticed Anne's struggle and simply chuckled before changing the subject.

Sarah had picked a high-class restaurant, and Anne already knew it was going to be expensive without having to look at the menu. Naturally, her assumption was later confirmed when she did look at the menu.

"Let's not order too many dishes. It's too expensive here."

"I was a member of this place, and I have a deposit that I need to spend anyway," Sarah dismissed it.

Anne knew just how extravagant Sarah's previous lifestyle was and decided against protesting any further.

 

Chapter 277

"You can cal whatever you want with me. I remember everything that you've gone through. You are my daughter, and I

won't let anyone bully you. You can tell me anything, and I will help you, no matter what," Sarah said gently.

Anne flipped through the menu hesitantly and said, "/...didn't go through that much. Il's all in the past now."

Sarah was excited. "Yeah. It'sail in the past now!"

The two ot them did not need much food, but Sarah would have ordered a table full of dishes if Anne was not there to

stop her.

"I'm so full." Sarah rubbed at her belly. "You take your time. I will go use the bathroom."

There was some distance to the bathroom, and one would have to walk through the VIP area. Just as she was making

a turn, Sarah heard a voice.

"Oh, what a coincidence that you are here as well."

Sarah glanced over and saw the world-famous pianist, Bianca.

Her uplifted mood was instantly ruined, and she turned to leave, wanting to stay away from Bianca and avoid Anthony,

who might be here with Bianca at this very moment.

She still remembered what had happened the time before, and Sarah did not want to cause Anne any more trouble.

"Do you know about Anne getting an abortion?" Bianca drawled.

Sarah paused in shock. "What are you talking about? I won't stand idly by if you keep talking about my daughter that way!"

"So you really don't know, huh? Not only was she pregnant with

Anthony's child, but she also went to get an abortion in the hospital. Seems like she's hiding it well if she didn't even tell her ' own mother."

Furious, Sarah's chest heaved. "That... That's not possible!"

"Why don't you ask Anne to see if it's possible?" Bianca mocked.

Sarah did not want to believe but knew that Bianca was telling the truth.

Anthony had been forcing himself onto Anne for months, and accidents could happen.

'But why didn't Anne tell me and handle it on her own? How could she not tell me that she was in pain?' Sarah thought.

"Like mother, like daughter. You are both just playthings for men and get abandoned like rag dolls as soon as you get pregnant. Still, you can't help but cling to those men, can you? How cheap! If she's really that desperate for it, why don't I introduce her to a few men? I can make sure that she has a different partner every night. " Bianca purposely tried to provoke Sarah.

Unable to stand it any longer, Sarah was furious to learn what had happened to Anne and roared, "Keep those men for yourself!" With that, she landed a slap across Bianca's face.

"Ah!" Bianca took a few steps back.

Anthony happened upon the scene, and his expression instantly darkened.

When Sarah noticed Anthony storming up to her like the devil making its way out of hell, she was terrified to the point that she did not know how to respond.

Anthony lifted his leg and landed a kick with the hard leather shoe on his foot.

Sarah was shoved aside before Anthony's kick landed on her, and

lhe fell onto the ground. By the time she looked up, she had sawed Anne slamming into the wail and landing on the ground.

Anthony stiffened as he stared at Anne, who struggled to get up, and Bianca was more than pleased at the sight. If only the circumstances were any different, Bianca would have burst out laughing.

"Ugh..." Anne held her stomach and trembled in pain as her face paled.

"Anne!" Sarah snapped out of shock and hurried over. "How are you? Are you okay?"

"It hurts..." Anne felt like she could barely breathe and her fingers clenched onto her clothes to the point that her

knuckles began to turn white.

"Where does it hurt? Here?" Sarah touched Anne on the stomach. " Don't be afraid. I'm calling the ambulance right

now. My phone... Oh my god, where is there so much blood?"

Sarah noticed the blood on Anne's trousers, and when she moved Anne's legs, she noticed that Anne was still

bleeding.

Anthony was stricken by the crimson blood coming out of Anne.

Anne felt like she was about to die. She did not know that she was bleeding and only knew that the pain alone was

killing her. Tears scrolled down her cheeks. "Mom... It hurts..."

"Don't worry. My phone is in our private room. I will call the ambulance right now. Just wait, I'll get them here right

now..." Terrified, Sarah burst into tears when she heard Anne calling her ' mom'.

Just when she was about to turn to the other customers to borrow a phone, a shadow loomed over her, and Anne

was picked up.

Turning and noticing that it was Anthony, Sarah immediately

started panicking. "What else do you want, Anthony Marwood? Give Anne back to me!"

He shot her an icy glare. "Get out of my way."

Sarah froze and held her breath at his intimidating aura. In the end, Anthony carried Anne and left directly.

Chapter 278

Bianca stood still and clenched her fists until her nails were stabbing into her palms. The jealousy she felt did not ease

until she saw the pool of blood on the ground.

'Anne Vallois, you are no match for me!' she thought.

Meanwhile, Anthony stormed off with Anne in his arms, and even the driver struggled to react to how terrifying his

presence was.

"The hospital!" Anthony commanded.

The driver immediately started the engine and took off steadily to the highway. Tension continued to rise inside the car,

along with a suffocating scent of blood that filled the air. Anne grunted in pain in Anthony’s arms and quivered

uncontrollably.

He grabbed her by the chin and reminded her with a low voice, " Take deep breaths..."

She followed the command instinctively, but the pain remained, and even her lips were pale.

The sweat scrolled down her forehead and to her hair.

"We are almost at the hospital." Anthony tried to wipe away her sweat but was stunned when he noticed his own blood-stained palm.

Where did all this blood come from? He had only kicked her once in the stomach, so she could not possibly be bleeding so much.

When he met her eyes, he was stung by the pained and resentful look in her eyes. "Don't look at me like that. You are the one who jumped!"

Her lips quivered as she struggled to speak. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, and eventually, everything went black...

*rt>ey arrived at the hospital, and Kathryn had been informed ahead of time to start preparation.

Anthony stood outside the surgery room and found blood all over his right arm. He could still feel the slimy texture of the blood sticking onto his skin through the clothes. If only his shirt and trousers were not black, the others would be able to see the blood stain from afar.

In about half an hour's time, the light above the surgery room door was turned off, and Kathryn stepped outside in a face mask. Though he could see her face, he could tell that the situation was bad from the look in her eyes.

Anthony had remained in front of the surgery room the entire time, and Kathryn straightaway told him, "She lost her baby."

His eyes widened in disbelief. "She just lost a baby one month ago. 11

"That's not possible. The baby inside her was already two months old. From what I can tell, she was probably already pregnant at the time when she fell and said she didn't feel well," Kathryn said.

His expression darkened as he thought of the possibility of Anne lying to him about getting an abortion. However, he did see the blood on Anne's trousers a month ago, so he asked, "What are the chances for one to bleed during pregnancy?"

"Can't say for sure. There are women who would bleed a little throughout the entire pregnancy. There's another issue. The embryo was already two months old, and this incident has caused severe damage to Anne's uterus, so she will not be able to get pregnant ever again," she said while studying his expression.

He widened his eyes once again. "What did you just say?"

Despite the pressure, Kathryn repeated, "Considering the severity of the hemorrhage, it's lucky that she even survives. We can't fix

the damage to her uterus."

Baam!

Kathryn turned in the direction where the noise came from and saw Sarah falling onto the ground after overhearing

the conversation.

'She can't get pregnant again? So Anne will never have children of her own? How could this happen? That's about

one of the worst things a young girl could hear!' Sarah thought.

Anne was transferred to the room, and once the anesthetic wore off at around dusk, she woke up and saw Sarah

sobbing by the bed.

•

"I'm okay..." She struggled to voice out and noticed that her throat was burning.

"You are awake! I have a glass of warm water here for you. Have some." Sarah placed a straw into the glass and

fed it to Anne.

Anne took a few sips, and the pain in her throat finally eased.

Chapter 279

However, she was still as pale as a ghost, and there was a dull pain in her stomach.

When Anthony kicked her in the stomach, she felt like she had been crushed by a car and every single of her

internal organs took the impact. Anne knew that she would not be bleeding so much if she was alright, and

judging from the look on Sarah's face, she realized her condition was more severe than she had imagined.

Nervous, she asked, "I... What happened? What did Jhe doctor say? Did he break my ribs or something?"

"No..." Sarah's eyes reddened. "You lost your baby..."

Anne could not wrap her head around Sarah's words and thought to herself, 'What does she mean? Is this

about the abortion I had before? Why do I feel like that's rr

"What do you mean that I lost my baby?"

"Your baby is two-month-old. How could it survive a kick like that?" Sarah sighed gloomily.

She did not mind that Anne had lost a child since it was Anthony's. However, Sarah did not understand why the gods had to punish her daughter when Anne had done nothing wrong.

Shocked, Anne struggled to get up. "That's not possible! Two- month-old? I got rid of the baby a month ago!"

'Is that why I bleed so much? But how?' she thought frantically.

"But the doctor can't be mistaken!" Sarah realized that something was wrong as there would not be a living soul on earth who would be confused about whether they had an abortion. "Anne, what s going on?"

Anne started seeing stars before her eyes, and her mind went blank. If the doctor was not wrong this time, could they be wrong the time before? All the blood she lost was solid proof that she was Indeed pregnant, which meant that her pregnancy had not been terminated a month ago, to begin with.

Anne stiffened as she remembered nausea, about how she was constantly tired and the barely noticeable swell on her belly...

The abortion never did succeed, but why. It was a simple surgery, so the doctors could not have made a mistake, which meant that someone was interfering, and the first person she suspected was Bianca.

'Who else but her? But what for? Just to watch Anthony kill his own child? If that's the case, she got what she wanted...' she thought.

"That demon, Anthony Marwocd, will he never stop until the two of us are dead?" Sarah sighed.

Seeing how much Sarah was suffering, Anne said gloomily, "It's nothing. The baby... I can't keep it anyway..."

She had never known true happiness ever since she got involved with Anthony, and she had not been able to shake the feeling like she had been being strangled since the very beginning.

Sarah did not intend on telling Anne about the severe injury she suffered in her uterus out of concern that Anne would be traumatized.

Kathryn knocked on the door and came in to find Anne awake. " How are you doing? Any discomfort?"

"My stomach kind of hurts." Anne came to a realization that she was in Kathryn's hospital.

"It's normal. It's surgery, after all. Don't think too much, and just

"Thank you..." Anne lowered her gaze, feeling drained both physically and mentally.

She had not imagined that she would lose her child in such a manner, and Anthony's viciousness simply sent

chills down her spine.

. "You're welcome. You..."

Sarah interrupted Kathryn before she could continue. "Dr. Brown, can I talk to you in private about the follow-

ups? Anne has just woken up, so let's just let her rest."

Kathryn nodded. "Sure."

As soon as they were outside, Sarah lowered her voice and said, " I'm sorry, Dr. Brown, but I need your help

on something."

"Of course. What do you need?"

"Um... Can you not tell Anne that she's lost her ability to get pregnant again? I'm worried that she won't be

able to take it, and maybe she will hurt herself..."

Chapter 280

"I can keep it a secret, but I don't think it's the sort of thing that you can keep from her forever. It would he rather difficult for her to

get married in the future," Kathryn said.

It would be morally wrong for one to hide about infertility in a marriage.

"I know. I will try to bring it up to tier when she's calmed down. By the way, don't let anyone else find out about this, okay? I don't

want her to face all the comments from others," Sarah said.

'Don't worry. Doctors aren't going to go around discussing our patients' private information with others."

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

Kathryn nodded before leaving.

Sarah seemed like a nice person, and it was hard to picture her as a homewrecker. However, Kathryn knew that she had nothing to do with it and decided to stay away from the drama.

Sarah finally relaxed after seeking Kathryn's help. She had to handle the situation properly, and Anne did not need to know about this. If everyone else found out that she could no longer have children of her own, no one would dare to marry her, so Sarah was determined to keep the truth hidden until after Anne married. She did not care if it was morally right because people simply have to work for their own sake.

She opened the door and saw Anne lying on the bed. A gloomy expression played across her face.

"Anne, what do you feel like eating tonight? I will get the nanny to cook for you," Sarah asked as she approached.

"Whatever in fine." Anne muttered carelessly.

"You’ve lust lost your baby, so you need something nutritious to recover " Sarah look out her phone to call the nanny al home.

Anne listened hall heartedly. and by the time Sarah ended the call. Anne had drilled oil to sleep

Sarah walked over lo study her pale tac e and sighed "Why do you haw lo suiter so much

fhex all knew that Anthony was I hr cause of all I heir pain, but ewn il I hex knew, there was no wav that they could fight back The weak could only ever ol»ey, or they might not even survive.

The nanny arrived al the hospital with a freshly cooked meal with nutritious ingredients.

Anne munched away on her food and thought back lo how she had to eat instant noodles alter she had gone through an abortion

the Time before, realizing the difference between having a mother and being alone.

' Anne, you shouldn't have taken that kick for me. I feel so bad. It would have caused much less damage if I took the hit

instead..." Sarah said.

1 didn’t really think about it..." When Anne stepped out of the room and happened upon the scene, her body moved ahead of

herself.

I know you are a kind person, but sometimes I wish you would be more selfish." Sarah said sincerely.

Anne remained quiet. She did not think she did what she had done out of kindness but mostly out of instinct.

Sarah seemed lo have remembered something and asked, "Anne, what happened the last time you were here for the abortion?"

Anne had already realized what had happmed, but even if she did, she could not <|iiile confront Bianca about il. Il was not that

she was afraid of Bianca, but she was terrified of Anthony, who would support Bianc a. All things aside, she had no proof that

Bianca had done anything al the moment.
