Chapter 650: The Unimaginable Cost of Breaking Off an Engagement
As soon as he left, the nurse approached cautiously, afraid that she would still refuse to cooperate. She gently said, “Miss, what the Duke said is right, you’re not alone now. You have a little baby less than three months old in your stomach. You can neglect your own health, but you have to think about the baby in your womb. You’re too weak right now; let me help you get some glucose.”
Holding the iPad, Enna Clark lied back on the bed, extending her arm, “That’s very kind of you.”
“It’s no trouble at all!” The nurse, overjoyed, quickly replied, “It’s wonderful that you’ve come to sense miss.”
She skillfully wiped alcohol on the back of Enna’s hand and inserted the needle into her vein. Seeing Enna’s gloomy mood, she quickly said, “Miss, I’ll step out for now. You should rest. Call me anytime if you need something.”
The nurse left, and the room fell into a profound silence.
Enna knew that there were people watching her surroundings at all time. She didn’t even think about escaping. Besides, with her protruded belly, any attempt to flee would be very dangerous. If anything happened to the child in her stomach, it would be a loss for her.
She clenched her fists and then relaxed, made an effort to adjust her mood slightly. She picked up her iPad and tried to send a message to the outside.
As expected, although her iPad was connected to the online world, her messages consistently showed sending failures.
After several attempts, Enna gave up completely.
She opened the news application; the latest, hottest news lined up the screen: finances, politics, celebrity gossip, and most prominently, the news of Baron Lawrence’s upcoming engagement.
There were all sorts of reports.
News about the women Baron Lawrence had been rumored to be involved with were dug up, there were reports uncovering Emily Goldsmith’s background, and in the end, all were wishes for blessings on the engagement of the century in three days…
Enna unintentionally tightened her grip on the iPad; the pain in her heart grew worse.
Particularly when she saw every piece of news article, with the pictures of Baron Lawrence and Emily Goldsmith arranged together, seeming like a perfect golden couple – her mood sank deeper into the shadows.
She believed that something she wasn’t aware of must have led to the engagement between Baron Lawrence and Emily Goldsmith, and most likely it had something to do with her personal safety.
But even so, it was not as if she could swallow her agony.
Enna wasn’t naive. She understood the meaning behind the Duke of Habden’s words earlier.
If two super families have announced their engagement, there must be numerous interests involved in the background, making it almost impossible to cancel the engagement.
If the engagement was broken, the consequences and the price would be unimaginable!
Last time, from the Old Master, she had come to know that her marriage with Baron Lawrence was not recognized by the law in their country. In a sense, Baron Lawrence was not considered a married man. Once he gets engaged with Emily Goldsmith, Emily would become his legitimate fiancee, while Enna…
Enna’s heart suddenly clenched!
She did not know how she would face such a situation.
If Baron Lawrence was indeed forced to engage with Emily Goldsmith for her safety, what about her? Could she choose to stand in the shadows for a lifetime to fulfill his love?
Enna’s mood worsened.
Even her temples started thumping, and her belly seemed to protest with a sudden pang.
She dared not think any further and quickly pulled herself out of those messy thoughts. She turned off the iPad and closed her eyes.
No matter what, she believes in him.
Until the very end, she has faith in his ability to resolve the situation!
