Chapter 213

Bruce Bowman appeared at the alley entrance like a phantom.

Bella Quinn barely processed his words before his bloodshot eyes locked onto her. "Bella Quinn, why did you hurt Michelle? Why force her to take that abortion pill?"

His voice dripped with ice.

Bruce clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He hadn't slept for a month, yet now that she stood before him, he wanted to strangle her with his bare hands.

"Bruce, have you lost your mind?" Bella sneered. "You're the one who killed my baby!"

"You bitch!" Bruce grabbed her throat. "Michelle lost her child. You'll pay with your life!"

"Bruce, let her go!" Susan Thompson rushed forward, only to be shoved violently to the ground.

Bella's eyes reddened with panic. "Susan, run!"

"Susan, get out of my way!" Bruce's gaze turned murderous. "No one's saving her today."

He forced Bella into the black sedan, which sped away with a screech.

Susan staggered to her feet, her ankle throbbing. She needed to call the police immediately.

At her apartment entrance, Andrew Lucas leaned against the doorframe.

"Move." Susan coldly pulled out her keys.

"Susan..." Andrew's voice softened unexpectedly. "I saw Daniel today."

Her fingers trembled.

"He called me Dad." Emotion flickered in Andrew's eyes. "He said he wants our family together again."

"Impossible!" Susan jerked her head up. "Daniel would never say that!"

Andrew suddenly seized her hand. "Susan, let's start over."

"Start over?" She laughed bitterly. "Does a man who killed his own child deserve that?"

Andrew's face darkened. "What?"

"You told the doctor to abort my baby!" Susan's voice shook. "Nicole Capra admitted it. You... fed our daughter to dogs..."

"Lies!" Andrew pulled her into a crushing embrace. "I would never harm our child. After your accident, the baby... couldn't be saved..."

His voice broke. "Susan, I loved our daughter."
