CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FORTY
CATHERINE’S POV
I ran out of the dining room and went to my room quickly, I rushed into the toilet to wash my face and I started vomiting blood.
I checked in between my legs and I noticed I was bleeding, profusely.
“My baby,” I murmured, rushing out of the toilet in tears.
I grabbed my car keys and rushed myself to the hospital.
“Fuck, I can’t feel myself,” I groaned as I increased the speed of the car, within minutes, I was at the hospital.
I rushed out of the car, still bleeding from my nose and pussy.
“Call in an emergency,” I heard a girl say before I slumped to the ground and lost consciousness.
“How is she?” I heard Burke’s voice in my subconsciousness.
I tried opening my eyes, and my head pounded heavily, I saw Burke standing by my bed looking worried.
“She is fine but the baby…”
“My baby,” I yelled, interrupting the doctor. I held my stomach in terror as tears clouded my vision.
“You need to calm down, Catherine, please, do that for me,” Burke pleaded as he tried to hold me in place because I was about to remove the multiple drips in my hand.
“Ma, you have to calm down, we will see what we can do, but the poison affected the baby,” The doctor said, and my heart stopped for some minutes.
Something happened to my baby, I can’t feel her moving inside me.
“How the fuck is my baby,” I groaned at the doctor impatiently and she didn’t know what to say, she opened her mouth too tall but nothing came out.
“Where is my baby? I can’t feel her moving, I need her ultrasound, do something,” I yelled, louder but they still tried to hold me in place.
“What poison?” Burke asked, confused, he had not realized that the meal Harley threw and prevented him from eating was poisoned.
“I can’t say, Alpha Burke, but by the test, we ran on her, she has taken poison,” the doctor said and Burke looked at me in shock.
“How is my baby?” I asked again, but the was yet a reply for me.
“Your husband will tell you about the baby’s health, I will leave you to have some rest,” the doctor said before leaving me and Burke alone.
I knew there were a lot of questions going around in Burke’s head but I wasn’t in the right state of mind to answer any of them.
“How is she?” I asked, referring to the baby and Burke swallowed hard before responding to me.
“I will answer that if you tell me what the doctor meant by poison, I am fucking confused,” Burke said, sounding impatiently.
“Do you think that I will poison you?” I asked, giving him a deadly stare, he shook his head immediately, disgusted by the question.
“Fuck No, I know Harley has something to do with it, but I don’t know how, because you cooked my food,” He explained and I shrugged my shoulders at him.
“She poisoned the food, probably when I stepped out to get something. And she didn’t want to kill you, she wanted me dead, so you have nothing to be worried about,” I said, feeling very angry, I wasn’t in any mood to talk and I hoped Burke would understand.
“Fuck Catherine, why won’t I be worried, we are in a mess because of Harley,” he said almost in a yell.
“You mean I am in a mess,” I corrected him and he rolled his eyes at me.
“You of all people should know that to me, they are the same thing.” he sneered at me.
“I am sorry Burke but I just want to be alone,” I said and Burke pretended not to hear me.
“I am not leaving you, Catherine and Harley pay for doing this to my baby.” Burke groaned and I looked at him in surprise, or rather in shock.
“What do you mean she did something to the baby? What happened to my baby Burke? What happened to her?” I yelled, holding my stomach firmly.
“I need you to be calm before I say a word,” Burke replied to my question without giving me the answer I wanted to hear.
I had a feeling something was wrong with my baby but I didn’t want to believe it till I heard it from Burke.
“Burke talk to me, what happened to my baby?” I asked again, yelling at the top of my voice.
“She is dead, Catherine,” Burke dropped the bombshell and I felt my heart drop at the sound of that.
My daughter is dead and it is all because of Harley, I wished I never let her in my inner circle.
“She will pay, and I swear it,” I yelled and my husband looked at me with determination.
“I know she will pay but the question is how the fuck would she pay,” He asked and I shrugged my shoulder, I didn’t have a plan yet.
“Does anyone know that I’m at the hospital?” I asked and he nodded his head.
“Everyone is in a panic at the house, the triplets wanted to come along when the news came but I told them to wait for me. Everyone is worried Catherine,” he said and I nodded my head.
“What about her?” I asked and Burke knew who I was referring to.
“I don’t know where she went to, but I haven’t seen her since after breakfast, probably she went to the dungeon to meet Ava,” I said and I shook my head.
“That’s a lie,” I yelled, freeing myself from the drip.
“What the fuck are you doing Catherine?” He asked, and I looked at him with determination.
“Harley is hiding something, and I’ll find out what it is,” I said, getting off the hospital bed.
“How do you know that Catherine? You need to relax.” He whined but I shoved him off.
“I’m going to get Harley this time. She messed with me
once but she isn’t going to do that again,” I yelled before leaving the hospital room.
