Chapter 214 He Forced Her to Drink the Abortion Pill!

"Penelope, I didn't!"

Fearing that Penelope wouldn't believe him, Zackary quickly spoke up, "Penelope, I swear, if I had killed our daughter, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

Penelope, on the other hand, had no doubt about Zackary's words. She knew his character well. There were certain things that, if he had done them, he would not bother to deny.

He really did not kill their child.

But she still couldn't forgive him.

So many hurts and suspicions were laid out before her, she wasn't that magnanimous, that a slight show of kindness from him could make her throw herself into his arms without any reservations.

Afraid that something might happen to Corona, Penelope was not in the mood to continue dealing with him. "Mr. Spencer, whether you killed my daughter or not, it doesn't matter anymore. What we had, it's long been over."

"Mr. Spencer, excuse me! Something has happened to Corona, I need to call the police!"

"Corona?" Zackary clearly hadn't expected Corona to still be alive. He paused slightly before continuing to ask, "Penelope, what happened to her? Perhaps, I can help you."

Penelope didn't want to deal with Zackary, but on second thought, she realized that even if she called the police right now, they might not be able to immediately find out where Devon had taken Corona.

Zackary and Devon were close, he might have known where he went.

"Devon took Corona away! Linda was hospitalized! They must have gone to the hospital, but, I don't know which hospital she is in."

"Penelope, don't worry, I had someone look into it right away!"

In less than ten minutes, Samuel had found out which hospital Linda was in.

She was at the private hospital newly opened by Edward.

That private hospital did an exceptionally good job at maintaining confidentiality.

The confidentiality work was done well, had advantages, and could protect the patient's privacy to the maximum extent.

Therefore, many socialites liked to go to that hospital for treatment.

But the work of confidentiality was done too well, it could also have fatal flaws.

For instance, if she were in a regular hospital, Corona could have asked for help from the people around her or even called the police when Devon forcibly brought her there. But in this place, she had no one to turn to for help.

Devon directly brought Corona to Linda's ward.

Linda lay on the hospital bed, frail as a thread, looking utterly helpless and in pain.

Seeing Devon dragging Corona in, her small pale face was instantly filled with terror.

"Don't come over! Don't come over! Please don't hurt me! Please spare my child!"

Corona really couldn't stand Linda's drama, she couldn't help but speak up, "Linda, are you sick?! This is the first time I've seen you since I came back tonight, how could I have killed the child in your belly?!"

"Corona, what on earth have I done wrong for you to harm me over and over again?! You've already crippled me, what else are you not satisfied with?! Corona, I beg you, can you please spare me? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you, I just beg you, can you please stop harming me?"

"Linda, aren't you tired from acting so hard?" Corona really couldn't understand why in this world, some people would be so passionate about acting.

Living in performance all day long, there was no trace of reality in life. Interesting?

"Oh, you could even fake being disabled so convincingly, what's acting in a play to you!"

"Corona!" Devon couldn't help but shout out when he saw Corona behaving so ungratefully, "Apologize to Linda!"

"Apologize?" Corona laughed, "Mr. Burke, I didn't do anything, I really don't know why I should apologize to her!"

"If anyone should be apologizing, it should be you apologizing to me! Devon, I saved you during the earthquake, yet you threatened me over and over again using my grandmother. You forced me to marry Joseph, you sent me to jail, you killed my child, you should be the one apologizing to me!"

"And you, Linda! You drugged me, trying to pair me up with some bald old man, but by some twist of fate, I ended up in Mr. Burke's room! Yet, you still play the victim, even faking a suicide attempt. Don't you find that disgusting?!"

"Linda, you ruined my face, you let four men mess me up, you should apologize to me!"

"Corona, shut up! The person who saved me during the earthquake was Linda! You keep trying to take credit for Linda's achievements, have you no shame?!"

Devon's eyes were truly, truly beautiful. However, such beautiful eyes did not allow one to see even a hint of light.

He continued to glare at Corona with resentment, "And your face! Linda is the most innocent and kind, how could she possibly ruin your face! Corona, you want to pin all kinds of crimes on Linda, you, are unforgivable!"

Originally, Corona wanted to say something more, but after hearing Devon's words, she suddenly felt that she had nothing to say.

No matter what she said, he would not believe her. Why should she continue to waste her breath?

Ridiculous, this was the man she had devoted half of her life to, loving him with all her heart!

What she loved was not a flesh-and-blood man with a heart, but a devil!

"Corona, didn't you enjoy forcing others to drink abortion pills?" Corona was deeply immersed in boundless sorrow, unable to extricate herself. Devon's chilling voice, as if from hell, rang out again, "Fine, since you love abortion pills so much, I'll let you have your fill!"

As Devon's voice fell, two bodyguards dressed in black walked in.

One of them was holding a basin-sized, pitch-black medicine bowl in his hand.

Looking at the huge pill, Corona felt a chill run down her spine. She was aware of the dangers of abortion pills. She didn't want to be abused for no reason. She quickly sidestepped, intending to leave Linda's sickroom.

However, Devon would not let her leave so easily!

Before she could even reach the door, a bodyguard over 1.8 meters tall had forcefully pinned her down onto a chair, leaving her unable to move.

Another bodyguard forcefully gripped her lower jaw, unceremoniously pouring the pitch-black medicine from the bowl into her mouth.

"Let me go! Let me go now! I didn't harm Linda at all, you can't treat me like this!"

"Cough, cough..."

No matter what she said, Devon had no intention of letting her go. Moreover, every time she spoke, her throat hurt even more, making her feel like she was better off dead.

Taking abortion pills without being pregnant, and taking the normal dosage, could lead to many adverse effects, such as the shedding of the uterine lining, bleeding...

Devon had made her drink so much that, after finishing it all, she would have been half dead if not completely!

Devon looked down at Corona, observing the grotesque scars on her small face, and he felt an inexplicable tug at his heart.

He furrowed his brows and spoke, "Corona, I'm giving you one last chance! Tell me, why did you want to kill Linda's child!"

Corona clenched her fists tightly, she knew, if she admitted to the crime of causing the death of the child in Linda's womb, she might not have to continue drinking this medicine.

But could it be that she, Corona, was destined to be arbitrarily framed, covered in filth?!
