Chapter 3 Protect Her Children with Her Life
In the warehouse, Haley had no time to mourn for the dead children. She lay on the floor, soaked in blood, as the pain in her abdomen struck again.
This kind of pain was all too familiar to her. She had experienced it before giving birth to her children.
She touched her stomach and felt something strange.
'Is there another child in me?' Haley's eyes widened in alarm.
She couldn't afford to waste any more time.
She quickly exerted force, causing more blood to gush out.
The tearing sensation came in waves. If it weren't for a surge of strength supporting her, Haley would have already fainted.
But she knew she couldn't pass out.
If she lost consciousness, the child in her belly would suffocate.
She bit her tongue, drawing blood, and regained some clarity.
"Wahh..."
A weak cry echoed in the room.
Haley's tear-filled eyes lit up.
She struggled to prop herself up and look...
There were two more babies. She had given birth to quadruplets.
However, the two older boys who were born earlier were no longer here.
If Emily had taken the two older boys to the hospital in time, they would have survived as well.
Haley had never hated her sister, whom she had loved so much over the years, as much as she did now.
Locked up here eight months ago, she had always believed that she deserved it because she was the family's disgrace.
Now, she knew it was all a conspiracy.
Emily was ruthless and insane. She put her own sister through so much pain and grief just to take away the inheritance of the DeRoss family.
Haley would not let the DeRoss family off.
She forced herself to crawl toward the two children.
There was a boy and a girl.
They were both covered in blood, but their beautiful eyes couldn't be hidden.
These were her babies, her reason for fighting to stay alive. These children were her whole world.
At that moment, the warehouse suddenly burst into flames!
It was Emily who had set the fire; she wanted to burn Haley to death and eliminate any future threats!
Haley instantly became frantic; she knew for sure that it was Emily who had started the fire!
She couldn't let her newborn children die here!
In this desperate moment, the power of a mother's love erupted. Haley, without a second thought, broke through the burning warehouse door, then picked up her two babies and escaped from the sea of flames...
In the DeRoss residence, Frank DeRoss was pacing in the living room, furious.
Emily falsely accused Haley, claiming that the fire in the warehouse was set by Haley, which is why Frank was so furious.
"Why would Haley deliberately burn the place? How can I have such a jinx of a daughter? Get someone to find her. We must bring her back!"
Frank was filled with anger.
Billions of goods have been burned in the warehouse, and he will have to compensate for billions of breaches of contract.
If it weren't for the wealthy background of the DeRoss family, they would probably go bankrupt.
At this moment, the servant hurriedly reported, "Sir, a female corpse suspected to be Haley has been found in the lake one kilometer away from the DeRoss residence..."
"Haley probably couldn't bear it and committed suicide by jumping into the river. It's all my fault..."
Emily let out a sigh, pretending to be very sad, tears streaked down her face. "Haley birth to two children just last night, and now they have no mother. What should we do?”
Frank showed no grief over the death of his daughter. Instead, his face was filled with anger and impatience. "What's the use of keeping those two bastards? Just send them to an orphanage to save me the trouble."
"Dad, those two children look a lot like Ivan..." Emily said slowly, "The strange man eight months ago was probably the head of the Winston family, Ivan Winston."
Frank couldn't believe it. "Really?"
The Winston family was the pinnacle of the Cuenca pyramid. The DeRoss family could only look up to them.
"So many people have wanted to cooperate with the Winston family but never had the chance. Now, Ivan's sons are in our hands, why not make use of it?"
Frank narrowed his eyes. "Emily, what do you mean?"
"I will take the children to the Winston family."
