Dear Sweetheart Chapter 558

Rayna tugged at the lock a few more times in panic.

At that moment, the assailant—a woman—had already gotten back on her feet, drenched from head to toe. In the next second, she charged toward Rayna with the knife.

“Give me back my child, Rayna!”

Unable to dodge the woman this time, Rayna could only grab the woman to protect herself against the knife.

The moment she looked up, she realized why the voice sounded so familiar. It turned out that her assailant was an acquaintance.

Her expression turned gloomy. “It’s you, Selena.”

“Give me my child! Give it back to me!” Selena screamed with a gaze full of hatred. She was in a disheveled state as she struggled, wanting to stab the knife into Rayna’s body.

Rayna gripped Selena’s hand tightly and scoffed, “You’re the one who lost your child. What’s it got to do with me?”

Selena’s lips trembled as she hissed at Rayna, “You dragged me to the hospital last time and gave me a fright. I wouldn’t have lost my child if not for you!”

The child had been fine in her belly. She even took good care of it. However, about two weeks ago, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her belly and passed out.

When she next woke up, she saw a sighing Emma and a doctor hovering over her.

According to the doctor, Selena had undergone a terrible shock which caused a miscarriage. Upon hearing that, she bawled her eyes out and drowned herself in sorrow for a few days until she recalled the incident where Rayna hired someone to kidnap her and bring her to the hospital for an abortion.

If not for Rayna, I wouldn’t have gotten such a shock. I wouldn’t have lost my precious baby!

The thought of her baby’s death made her hate Rayna even more.

She exerted more force to bring the knife down. “Rayna, I’m going to make you pay with your life!”

Rayna was not afraid of her. Instead, she taunted, “Have you forgotten how you got pregnant? How dare you use such lowly methods to get a baby? Even the heavens can’t accept it!”

Selena let out a few ear-piercing screams, provoked by Rayna’s words. “I’m going to kill you! I’ll kill you!”

The two women fought intensely in the restroom.

As time passed, Rayna grew exhausted.

Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer to her chest, Rayna felt fear surge through her. Beads of cold sweat formed on her forehead. Even her hands began to tremble.

All of a sudden, Rayna gathered all her might and slammed her head into Selena’s body. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Ah!” While Selena loosened her grip due to the pain, Rayna hastily pushed the former away and shoved her onto the floor using the mop from earlier. Following that, she quickly opened the door.

After several pulls, the door was finally unlocked, just as Selena had gotten to her feet.

It took a lot of strength for Rayna to yank the lock open. On top of that, she was pregnant. She was already panting heavily by the time the door was opened.

With one hand on the wall for support, she rushed out of the restroom.

Just as she arrived at the corridor, she bumped into Carl.

He had come over to check on Rayna when he realized she had been in the restroom for a long time. Seeing her pale complexion, he asked anxiously, “Are you feeling unwell? Are you all right?”

“I’m fine! Let’s go!” Rayna urged, instinctively taking a glance behind her. Her heart tensed instantly the moment she saw Selena had caught up with her. With no hesitation, Rayna grabbed Carl by the hand and dashed for the exit.

“Rayna!” screamed the woman at the back.

Just as Rayna and Carl had taken a few steps, a bullet grazed the side of her leg and drove into the ground.

The sound of a gunshot caused the restaurant’s customers to scream, push away tables and chairs, and flee hurriedly.

Rayna, too, was so petrified that she was drenched in a cold sweat.

She had thought a knife was all Selena brought. Never did she imagine the latter would have brought a gun as well.

“I’ll shoot you if you try to run again!” Selena, who was still holding onto the gun, approached Rayna from behind with a crazed look in her eyes. “There are nine more bullets in this gun.”

As Rayna scanned her surroundings, she realized they were still far away from the exit. Since she was pregnant, it would take her some time to reach the exit. On top of that, she had Carl with her.

Even if Selena was not skilled at shooting, there would definitely be one shot that would hit Rayna or Carl.

After weighing the pros and cons, Rayna took a deep breath to calm herself. When she turned around, she hid Carl behind her and looked Selena in the eye. “What do you want, Selena?”

“What do I want?” Selena scoffed. At first, she wanted to kill Rayna right there. However, the moment she noticed Rayna’s bulging belly, she lost it. “You’re pregnant? You’re freaking pregnant?”

Her hand that held the gun trembled as she spat, “I want you to pay with your children’s lives!”

Just then, Carl broke free from Rayna’s grip and slowly inched to the side.

Rayna knew what Carl was planning to do, for she had witnessed his capabilities before. Hence, she felt more confident.

With that, she raised her hands, pretending to surrender as she handled the situation calmly. “Selena, the death of your baby has nothing to do with me.”

Selena shrieked madly, “It’s your fault! It’s all you! My baby’s development was almost completed, but you brought me to the hospital and gave me a fright!”

Meanwhile, Rayna carefully glanced at the side from the corner of her eyes to find Carl had already arrived near Selena.

“All right. I’ll pay you with my children. You can kidnap me and bring me to the hospital, but don’t scare the others. They’re innocent,” said Rayna.

As if seeing through Rayna’s tricks, Selena shifted her gaze to the former’s pocket. “You’re trying to stall for time to contact Curtis, aren’t you? Take out your phone and smash it!”

“My phone’s in my bag. I don’t have it with me,” responded Rayna while emptying her dress pockets in front of Selena.

While Selena had briefly lowered her guard, Carl, who had been waiting by the side for some time, lunged for her.

The little boy flew into the air and kicked Selena’s hand.

The pain made Selena loosen her grip, and the gun fell to the ground.

Carl swiftly kicked the gun away and brought a chair down on Selena. It was so painful that she yelled and backed away. To her dismay, the boy did not stop. He pounced on her and locked both her hands behind her back.

Seeing Carl had successfully handled Selena, Rayna hurriedly ran to her table and opened her bag.

However, she had just found her phone when she heard a muffled groan from Carl.

As she lifted her head, she spotted two burly men that had appeared out of nowhere.

One of them had picked Carl up like an errant kitten while the other helped Selena up.

When Selena had steadied herself, the man pointed a gun at Rayna and flicked off the safety, asking the former, “Should I kill her, Ms. Young?”

Rayna did not dare to move. Just then, her fingers felt something hard in her bag.

That was when she remembered the ring with the GPS tracker Curtis had given her. It had been in her bag ever since she took it off.

Quietly, she slid it onto her finger and tapped on it using her nails.

“I want her children to pay for my child’s life,” Selena uttered emotionlessly.

Her arm that was dislocated just now still hurt, even after one of the burly men had popped it back into its socket for her. Thus, she glowered at Carl.

“You’re quite strong for a young boy like you. Hmph! How dare you ambush me!” Selena hissed. Since she could not move her arm to vent her anger, she ordered her men to slap Carl.

The man who was grabbing Carl by the collar gave the latter several slaps.

After that, the man ripped Carl’s mask off.

Selena was about to order the men to catch Rayna when she saw Carl’s face, which had been hidden underneath the mask. The former’s eyes instantly widened as if she had seen something terrifying.

Having already put on the ring, Rayna made her way toward Selena and said, “I’m the one you hate, Selena, so come after me.”

Selena stared at Carl for a long time before slowly turning to look at Rayna while pointing at him. “Is he Theodore’s son?”
