Chapter 355: Cruel Truths

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Zoey felt nothing but a wave of dizziness that almost made her faint. She died, clenching the couch with her hands, her nails almost pinching into the leather. But she tensed herself to keep from collapsing and raised her little face, indignantly yelling at him, “It’s your baby! You’re the one who got me pregnant!”
His complex and inexplicable eyes, dead fixed her, and then, gradually have blood seeped out. Hand, always buckle tightly her, chest violently rise and fall, deep breaths as if to the bottom of the heart that source of pain suppressed.
“Take this child!” Six simple words, one word at a time, but like a stone popping out from between his lips.
Only he himself knows how much it hurt, at the bottom of his heart, when he said those six words …
It was like having a huge gash cut open by his own hand, dripping with blood.
“I told you, I’ll never have children!”
Zoey obviously hadn’t expected him to say such a thing, and that one word, like a sharp ice pick, brutally poked at her eardrums, picking at every tendon in her body, stabbing at every cell in her body …
A vine tainted with hatred at the bottom of her heart climbed up quickly like a viper, wrapping itself densely around her heart.
Suddenly, like a madman, she pounced on him, punching and kicking him. Hating him so much that she didn’t even let go of his teeth.
Like a thoroughly wounded beast, she gnawed at him viciously, whimpering so forlornly that she couldn’t bear to listen.
“Why? Why are you doing this to me! Asshole! I hate you! Hate you!!!” She went crazy, gnawing and biting hysterically, completely ignoring her image.
Just wanting to hit him back with all that intense pain in his heart one by one.
If she hadn’t heard him tell her the more than brutal truths with her own ears, she wouldn’t have wanted to believe what she was going through right now.
Between them, the loving and lingering kisses seemed like yesterday. The sincerity and depth of his proposal was even still fresh in his mind.
She thought she was sweet and happy when she remembered this. But, instead, she didn’t realize that it was all just one joke after another mocking her.
Laughing at her stupidity and her self-importance …

His whole being was like a lifeless puppet. Let her beat, let her bite, let her curse. Not uttering a word, even just standing there stolidly, letting her vent like crazy.
Even when, she tore the shirt from his body and bit the blood out of his neck, he didn’t even utter a muffled grunt.
He only waited until she was so exhausted that she stopped crying mournfully, and then he opened his arms to hold her whole body firmly.
Zoey is powerless to struggle, but she hears his gruff voice, ringing in her ears again, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital. We … get rid of the baby!”
The body, shuddered viciously.
Originally, without any strength left, she suddenly struggled desperately to break free. She stared at him with wide, hateful eyes, as if she couldn’t drink his blood.
Jerry Xiao’s heart ached and he fought to try and grab her, “Zoey , listen to me!”
“You shut up! You devil! Don’t come near me, don’t touch me …” Tears were falling down her face as she pushed him away fiercely, and then, taking a hasty step back, she turned and ran out.
Jerry Xiao was pushed by her and stumbled down, probing his hand to grab her, but his palm was raised, but his grip was empty.
The large palm, and her arm, brushed. In the palm, leaving only air …
Looking at that back, a touch of heart-breaking pain violently hit his heart. He sucked in a cold breath of pain, and raised his steps to chase after her, but the pain in his chest was spreading unchecked, and instantly seized the nerves in his brain. His entire face twisted up in pain, and he held his forehead with all his might, but the pain did not dissipate in the slightest.
His legs were like clockwork, and he strongly supported himself to walk out. Ah Feng came out of the office and saw him like this, he was shocked and went to help him, “President!”
“Go away!” Two words, squeezed out from his teeth. He pushed away Ah Feng’s hand, but pointed at the figure that had already entered the elevator, “Chase … her for me!”
“But you …” His face was growing bloodless, as if he would collapse at any moment.
“Go after them!” At the bottom of his heart, an ominous feeling of foreboding climbed. He growled lowly in hatred, and everything he felt only became blurred.
Afon didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and followed after them.
Zoey only ran desperately, running wildly. She was losing her strength, bit by bit, but she didn’t dare to stop herself for a moment.
Hands trembled, clutching her belly tightly. It was as if the baby would disappear into thin air if they let go just a little.
Heh …
It turned out that the man she had loved for so many years was such a cruel person! Even his own flesh and blood, he could treat.
Such a hateful man, she could even love so bitterly for so many years, love so humble, so undignified.
As she thought, she cried and ran wildly out of the office building. Behind her, there were footsteps to follow, she screamed, and rushed onto the road in shock and fear.
Just this once …
A truck without a license plate, darting from nowhere, not only didn’t lower its speed when it saw the figure, but instead, it increased its speed.
With a blast of the gas, he rushed straight toward the disoriented figure.
“Ah…” came a short scream as Zoey’s entire body was knocked over the front of the car and rolled around, hitting the ground hard and rolling to the side like a lifeless rag doll.
“Secretary Baker!!!” Afon exclaimed, rushing up with cold hands and feet.
The van, however, turned around and quickly disappeared down the road.
“Oh my God! Murder! Murder!” The crowd boiled over, and those who witnessed the tragedy were shocked and panicked.
Someone immediately dialed the number to call the police.
Jerry Xiao stumbled out to this scene …
The figure that was freshly alive just now was now dying in a pool of blood. That pale face, in the blood, looked even more appalling. His entire body was trembling, only feeling numb and unable to stand on his legs.
It was so cold that it was as if even his veins were frozen.
He rushed over and swung his fist up and slammed it hard into Afon’s face. Afon stifled a grunt and looked up, and when he saw his eyes darkened with a circle of red from too much deep pain, he couldn’t say any words of explanation.
Jerry Xiao pushed him away hard before stumbling into a pool of blood. Firmly holding that cold body in his arms. He didn’t know what he could do at this moment, much less what it would take for her to come to her senses, and since he was a child, this was the second time he had panicked and been this scared.
The first time, it was watching my brother close his eyes in his hospital bed …
“Zoey , don’t make a mess …” his lips and tongue, almost already knotted. The large palm clasped her small hand hard, and there was a blood in his hand.
Penetrating cold, from the soles of the feet little by little through the heart, he brought her hand to his lips, gently kissed, choked and opened his mouth: ”You want a child, we will give birth! How many you want, how many you want to give birth! As long as you wake up … Zoey , do you hear what I said?!”
His emotions, gradually spiraled out of control, and the force with which he held her grew heavier and heavier, as if he wanted to use every ounce of his strength to hold onto her life.
Available at …
Zoey couldn’t hear anything, couldn’t feel anything, just passed out in his arms like a lifeless rag doll.
Jerry Xiao couldn’t hold it up any longer either, a huge crack of pain in his brain, like a bomb going off in his head, a look of awe, a sudden blackness in front of his eyes, and he collapsed in a pool of blood after him.
The hand, however, remained firm, clutching her.
As if, by letting go like this, they, indeed … could no longer hold hands …
Ambulances, honking their horns, flew in. Police cars, flying in.
They were, eventually, pulled apart.
As Feng watched this scene, a hint of complexity swept across his complexion. Hatred, in the end, is hurtful, so why bother?
Inside the hospital room, depressing space, pale ceiling, pale bed. On the body, also hospital gowns. In the air around them was the pungent odor of formalin.
Zoey A pair of cold hands, held by two separate people. One with worried tension, the other with gentle warmth.
Eyes, not yet open, only to hear his mother’s voice, ringing outside the hospital room.
“Doctor, are you telling the truth? In the future, she won’t even be able to have children?”
“I’m sorry, I feel sorry too. This car accident has split the fallopian tubes and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Oh my God!” The mother suppressed a sob, “That … baby in her belly …”
“There are no signs of life at all, and when she’s in a little better shape, we’ll perform a minor surgery to remove the baby.”
Yami Hu could no longer suppress the sobs and fell on her husband’s shoulder. “Yami , don’t you do this …”
“How is Zoey going to take it? Zoey will go crazy! Zhen Guo, how can we Zoey … be so pathetic? It’s all your fault … It’s all your sins, it’s all your fault for inviting THE Xiao Family! THE Xiao Family penis, how can you be so ruthless, so cruel!!!”
Sam Baker, however, no longer said anything, only let his wife complained, tensed his body. If he knew that these grudges would be avenged on his daughter one day in the future, why would he have done such a cruel thing back then? However, the business world is like a battlefield, if he did not swallow the Xiao Family, the Baker family was afraid that year had already been destroyed.

Fluttering her long eyelashes, Zoey slowly and quietly awoke from the hospital bed. Fingers that were so cold that they had no warmth whatsoever moved only slightly before they were firmly gripped by two hands.
“Zoey , you’re awake!” It was Ingram’s clear voice, but at the moment, it didn’t sound as suave as it used to. Instead, there was more of a darkness.
“Zoey!” On the other side, is the brother Owen’s voice. It was not as warm as in the past, and it hid a strong sense of pity.
“So … you’re all in …” Zoey struggled to get the words out, but the injuries on his body were so painful that it was as if his whole body had been crushed.
However, looking at these two worried faces, the cold heart was flooded with a trace of warmth. It is so good to have them …
“Yes, I’m back. Zoey , Sorry……Sorry……When you fully recover, brother will explain to you again.” Owen Baker clasped her right hand tightly and pressed it heartily against his warm, soft lips.
She rippled a light smile that brought tears to her eyes. “Brother, I’m all right now …”
It won’t hurt, it won’t matter …
All of the past seems to have dissipated by now, not even a trace of it remains.
“If it hurts, don’t talk … wait until it gets better …” To the left, was Sea Gu’s heartbroken and dry voice.
