Chapter 89 Catherine Is Pregnant With an Illegitimate Child
“Catherine, are you okay?” Harry immediately pulled Catherine into his arms.
His heart sank as chills crawled down his spine. He stared at the pool of blood with widened eyes.
Upon hearing Harry’s voice, Catherine suppressed her pain and grabbed Harry’s arm tightly. She struggled to get the words out. “Hospital… Take me to the hospital…”
Harry’s hands were trembling as he held her. “I’ll take you to the hospital right now. Your child will be safe. Just hold on a little longer.”
When he passed by Tony, his voice turned frigid. “We’ll talk about this later.”
When Tony met Harry’s gaze, he felt goosebumps all over. He only laid his hands on Catherine after discovering that Catherine and Harry were divorced and hearing that the child Catherine was pregnant with wasn’t Harry’s.
Tony had a thing for pregnant women, so after being spurred on, he started targeting Catherine. Trading a hundred million dollars for a baby seemed like a good deal for both sides.
He didn’t expect Catherine to be so uncooperative. However, Harry’s attitude terrified him. It looked like Harry cared a lot about Catherine.
At the hospital, Harry waited anxiously outside the operating room. He paced back and forth while staring at the red light above the door.
Adam arrived in a rush. “Mr. Zimmerman, how is Ms. Quinn doing?”
He was so worried that his voice cracked. He had barely managed to escape the people in the private room, only to leave and hear that there had been a pregnant lady bleeding out on the floor. After asking the club manager, he found out that the pregnant lady had been sent to the hospital.
He didn’t know why Harry was here, but Adam didn’t have the luxury to think about it now. After rubbing his hands together uneasily, he linked them together and prayed. “Please be okay.”
Harry’s throat was dry. His voice trembled. “I don’t know. She’s not out yet.”
Adam paced worriedly and said guiltily, “I should’ve gone with Ms. Quinn back then.”
Harry raised his hands and saw the blood on them. Furious, he clenched his fists and stood up. “I’ll be back in a while.”
Behind him, Adam asked, “Where are you going?”
Well, he was going to look for Tony, of course. Out of nowhere, Tony had beaten Catherine, who was pregnant with Harry’s child, until she bled. Harry had to make him pay for it.
Chapter 89 Catherine Is Pregnant With an Illegitimate Child
2/2
He went to the club. Before leaving, he had ordered Adrian to round everyone up, including those in the private room. Harry pushed the door to the private room open.
Tony and the others immediately stood up. Seeing Harry, Tony smiled ingratiatingly, “Mr. Zimmerman, the whole thing was just an accident…”
Harry remained silent. He walked to the head of the table, took a seat, and swept his gaze across
everyone.
Finally, Harry asked calmly while seething under the surface, “Who started this?”
The others looked at Tony, who was on pins and needles. Sweat beaded his forehead.
“Mr. Zimmerman, we were just having a business discussion-”
“What business discussion involves violence?” When Harry spoke, the temperature in the room fell. Everyone shuddered.
Adrian passed a pile of documents to Harry. After flipping through a few pages, Harry scoffed and threw them at Tony’s face.
“You’ve crossed the line! How dare you lay your fingers on her!”
From the documents, Harry read that Tony had played with countless pregnant women. Almost every one of them had suffered from miscarriage.
Furthermore, he almost always had the same number of people join in. After scanning the room, Harry found that the number of people in the room was the same as mentioned in the documents.
Tony’s legs gave out. He fell to his knees and broke into a cold sweat.
“Mr. Zimmerman, we only targeted Catherine after hearing that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child. We didn’t mean to offend you. Besides, who cares if an illegitimate child dies?” Suddenly, Tony had an idea. He decided to push all the blame onto Catherine.
“Catherine agreed to this, too. She even accepted my money. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and
ask-”
Harry stood up and knocked on the table once. Even though it was just a soft sound, it still frightened everyone. “Did you know that the child she’s pregnant with is mine?”
