There were too many people calling the police, in less than five minutes.
The staff from the local Female Protection Organization arrived at the scene and quickly brought the situation under control.
Hayden Langdon was overly emotional, and the doctor administered a powerful sedative to barely stabilize his condition.
Following this, both Selene Kane, who was undergoing rescue, and Hayden Langdon were taken to the organization’s affiliated hospital.
As for Caleb Shaw, he was originally far away.
He couldn’t make it to the scene during the incident, and now no one was answering his calls, he couldn’t get in touch.
In the operating room, the cold white lights were glaring, and the color drained from Selene Kane’s face, leaving it paper-white.
She gritted her teeth, enduring wave upon wave of intense pain.
The pain was driving her to the brink of collapse.
Fear began to breed and spread slowly in her heart.
Her voice was so weak it was barely audible as she asked, "System, is this child really... beyond saving?"
She herself wasn’t as scared.
But the more she thought about it, the more her mind conjured scenes from the storyline she had experienced as a system female character before.
The two mothers who died due to amniotic fluid embolism.
When they were lying on the operating table, were they also filled with despair and unwillingness like she was now?
The system softly answered her, "No, it won’t be."
Yet Selene Kane looked at the doctors around her, who were so busy their feet seemed not to touch the ground.
Watching the beads of sweat seep from their foreheads, their furrowed brows, and their swiftly moving hands and feet, her heart began to falter.
She started doubting.
Was everything really as assured as the system said?
With a trembling voice, she muttered, "The blood... what’s going on? Why... why won’t it stop... Could it be that I really won’t make it past this?"
Suddenly, the system’s voice came echoing with a surge of violent emotion.
"Host... your body... you should have some kind of toxin lurking inside, which has prevented normal conception. And the ’Good Pregnancy System’ forcibly triggered the first pregnancy, which activated the suppressed toxicity, causing severe bleeding."
Selene Kane understood upon hearing this.
No matter what, it was impossible to conceive so quickly and face issues so soon.
This morning she just found out she was pregnant, and by evening, there was an emergency miscarriage.
This abnormality was too odd; it defied physiological laws.
"Please wait... I’m exchanging for a Detoxification Pill for you."
Suddenly, a pill appeared in Selene Kane’s palm.
That pill was crystal clear, shimmering with a faint golden glow.
Taking advantage of the fact that the doctor beside her hadn’t reacted yet, she swallowed it without hesitation.
As soon as the pill entered her throat, it immediately transformed into a warm force flowing through her body.
The wounds started healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It’s wonderful! The bleeding stopped!"
A doctor exclaimed.
Everyone looked anxiously at Selene Kane on the hospital bed.
Seeing the color slowly return to her face, their tense nerves began to gradually relax.
The doctors all breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Ethan Sinclair, who had been on edge, collapsed onto the ground upon hearing this.
The whole person leaned exhaustedly against the corner of the wall.
Thankfully, it was finally alright.
This breathtaking rescue had finally passed the most critical stage.
Everyone’s hearts finally settled, yet that tense feeling lingered in their minds.
On the other side, Hayden Langdon’s physical condition was extremely poor.
He was born with a weak constitution, his body never truly healthy.
Furthermore, this time he suffered not just a tremendous mental blow, but the violent emotional swings led to exhaustion.
On top of the fact that he had been severely beaten earlier.
Now with injuries upon injuries, he had grown exceptionally frail.
His face was frighteningly pale, almost devoid of blood color.
Even the body that had managed to stand now began to tremble uncontrollably.
His eyes showed a brief relief when he heard Selene Kane had escaped danger.
Upon hearing the news of Selene Kane’s escape from danger, the staff of the Protection Association finally relaxed their tight strings of tension.
The atmosphere was no longer as oppressive and heavy as before.
After all, in this era, the number of females is extremely scarce.
The birth rate of newborns is also declining year by year.
Therefore, every female’s life is of utmost importance.
Especially like Selene Kane, a suitable-aged female who has not yet given birth, is valued as a treasure by society.
When they escorted the three over, their attitude was like treating criminals.
Several strong, armed guards surrounded them firmly.
The leading man seemed to be middle-aged.
But within his sharp eyes, there was a glimmer of coldness that was intimidating to look at directly.
His gaze contained a hint of danger, coldly sweeping over the three in front of him.
"Thanks to the Beast God for preserving this noble female; this is our luck, and also a blessing."
He paused momentarily, his tone growing colder.
"However, as her Beast Husband, you failed to fulfill the protective duty, allowing the incident to escalate to this level... According to interstellar law, you must accept the punishment of eighty lashes, with no mercy."
It is known that Beastmen have physical attributes far beyond ordinary humans.
Therefore, the Interstellar Government specifically developed and equipped a series of special tools for beastmen to maintain order and enforce discipline.
The whips used for punishment are specially modified.
Each whip is made of high-strength materials, with miniature cutting energy.
During the whipping process, it produces effects of tearing skin and penetrating the muscle layer.
Even beastmen, strong as they are, have to endure enormous pain and trauma.
It is conceivable that what is about to descend is a severe punishment that would leave one crying miserably.
The Enforcers often use this kind of whipping method when subduing beastmen who go out of control.
Being whipped a few times not only leaves the skin torn but severely even results in lifelong disability.
Especially before interstellar law was perfected, this method was often misused.
As for Evan Sinclair and Ethan Sinclair from the White Tiger Lineage.
Their bloodline is naturally resilient, with exceptional physical endurance.
Even so, if they were truly sentenced to such severe punishment, it would take a lot to fully recover.
Not to mention clans like the Butterfly Clan, which are inherently more fragile.
For them, even a slightly forceful use of an ordinary execution whip is enough to injure muscles and bones.
And for them, who depend on wings to fly for survival.
If their wings were damaged, it would be tantamount to lifelong disability.
"Wait!"
Just as the enforcer raised the long whip to execute the punishment.
Ethan Sinclair, standing among the crowd, finally couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted a word of restraint.
He dashed forward in a few strides.
Blocking in front of Hayden Langdon, who was about to be punished.
Meanwhile, his furry tail swayed anxiously from side to side.
His ears alertedly stood up.
Even the fur on them fluffed into a poofed state.
