I Asked for a Baby Six Years and He Gave Her Two Instead Chapter 07
I braced myself against the table.Â
There was no pity in my heart, only a cold, deep hatred. “Mercy? Did any of you ever show meÂ
mercy?”Â
I pulled out my phone and pulled up the chat logs. between Chloe and Mr. Bennett sent by the lab:Â
[Dad, the woman you’ll meet when you get homeÂ
might be Ethan’s wife.)Â
[We can’t let Ethan go back to her–if he leaves,Â
our family will fall apart.]Â
Chloe’s eyes widened in fury.Â
“You investigated me? Used your position for aÂ
private inquiry? That’s illegal!”Â
Ethan stared at her in disbelief,Â
“What do you mean?”Â
“We agreed to keep this from her–why did youÂ
expose it if you knew all along!”Â
Chloe cried as she tugged at Ethan’s shirt,Â
“Honey, I–I was just scared you’d leave me. I didn’tÂ
mean to.”Â
Ethan shoved her hand away. “You idiot! Now sheÂ
knows! The benefits for the kids–gone!”Â
“Why leave a trail like that?”Â
“Honey, I’m sorry, it’s my fault! I was just soÂ
scared… scared you’d go back to her. We can’t liveÂ
without you!”Â
A cold laugh escaped me. “What, the act’s over?Â
You don’t know me? You’re so innocent?”Â
I turned away from their family drama,Â
stepping in front of Ethan:Â
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Ethan. Did you knowÂ
a government employee’s marriage has specialÂ
protections?”Â
At the mention of protected marriage, Ethan frozeÂ
for a second, then scoffed,Â
“You’re not even in the military.”Â
I didn’t argue, turning back to sit on the sofa.Â
Glancing down, I saw the lawyer’s location–only aÂ
few kilometers away.Â
Seeing me fall silent, Ethan thought I wasÂ
intimidated.Â
Mr. Bennett stood up, his tone serious,Â
“Zoe, as a young woman, you shouldn’t be soÂ
vengeful.”Â
“At dinner I told you–our family is happy, we can’tÂ
afford to lose anyone.”Â
“Ethan is this family’s foundation. He has twoÂ
children. We can’t withstand this upheaval. Give usÂ
a way out.”Â
“For the sake of our poor family, for the sake ofÂ
these innocent children, show mercy. Let us live.Â
Please?”Â
My voice trembled slightly,Â
“What about me? I was deliberately sent to thatÂ
top–secret lab. I didn’t even get to see my fatherÂ
before he died.”Â
“My father could have been saved–if only youÂ
hadn’t been too busy having your son to answerÂ
my calls!”Â
“When you’re begging me, why don’t you thinkÂ
about what you’ve done?”Â
Mr. Bennett sighed,Â
“Death is fate…”Â
I cut him off sharply,Â
“Shut up!”Â
“Your younger son’s birthday is the anniversary ofÂ
my father’s death!”Â
“And I want every single benefit you stole from meÂ
paid back in full!”Â
Chloe launched herself at me. I shoved her back,Â
hard. “You bitch! Do you want to see this familyÂ
destroyed?”Â
Ethan reached out to restrain me too-Â
the whole family surrounded me, closing in.Â
Just then, the door burst open violently, andÂ
several people rushed in,Â
“Stop right there!”Â
Behind the lawyer stood members of the security team, internal affairs officers, and investigationÂ
agents.Â
They hurried to pull me out, gathering around me,Â
“Dr. Elena, are you okay?”Â
At the sight of them, the tension drained from me.Â
I shook my head, weary.Â
“I’m fine.”Â
“Who are you? How dare you break into a privateÂ
residence! I’m calling the police! I’ll sue you forÂ
illegal trespassing!” Chloe snapped, staring warilyÂ
at the newcomers.Â
The lawyer stepped up to Ethan, speaking politelyÂ
but firmly,Â
“We’re here on behalf of the top–secret lab toÂ
address Dr. Elena’s case of marital infidelity.”Â
Mr. Bennett forced a calm demeanor, assumingÂ
the air of an elder,Â
“This is outrageous! We’re having a family discussion–what business is it of yours? Get out immediately, or we’ll call the police!”Â
“Exactly,” Ethan echoed, rallying. “This is betweenÂ
me and my wife. A family matter. You have noÂ
right to interfere. Leave, or I’ll file a complaint for abuse of authority.”Â
Attorney pulled out documents, meeting Ethan’sÂ
gaze steadily,Â
“We are not trespassing. This is a legitimate intervention document issued by the top–secret lab, along with Dr. Elena’s complaint materials for marital infidelity and malicious persecution.”
