My Best Friend Had a Baby to Inherit Riches, I Exposed Her Chapter 09
The months flew by, and my baby bump became impossible to hide.Â
As the delivery date drew closer, a strange anxiety began to creep into my mind.Â
Abby hadn’t shown her face in months, but I knew her character too well–she wasn’t the type to just accept defeat.Â
To ensure absolute safety, Garrett took aÂ
two–month leave of absence to stay glued to myÂ
side.Â
He even checked me into a high–security private medical wing a full month before my due date.Â
A week before the expected date, I spotted aÂ
suspicious figure lurking near the hospital garden.Â
It was Abby.Â
She was crouching in the shadows, her eyes.Â
scanning the security perimeter like a hawk.Â
Three days before delivery, Abby managed toÂ
corner Garrett in the parking lot, launching into aÂ
frantic, hysterical rant.Â
Garrett merely brushed past her with a face ofÂ
pure ice.Â
The moment he got back to the room, he filed anÂ
official report.Â
Within hours, several private security guards wereÂ
stationed right outside my suite.Â
Despite the tight security, my inner panic wouldn’tÂ
fade.Â
Ever since the doctors originally told me I mightÂ
never conceive, a child of my own had been myÂ
ultimate dream.Â
I had completely given up hope.Â
To think the universe would not only bless me, butÂ
give me twins.Â
When the day finally arrived, Garrett paced the hallway outside the delivery room, out of his mindÂ
with worry.Â
Though it was my first delivery, the process went exceptionally smoothly.Â
Sweat–soaked and exhausted, I lay on the bed,Â
staring at the ceiling as the intense pressureÂ
finally subsided.Â
The nurse carefully brought the newborns over toÂ
my side.Â
Their little faces were red and wrinkled, but anÂ
instant, profound biological connection floodedÂ
my soul.Â
These were my children. I had carried them for tenÂ
grueling months.Â
My blood ran through their veins.Â
As the orderly wheeled my bed out, the first thing IÂ
saw was Garrett’s frantic face.Â
Ignoring the babies for a split second, he droppedÂ
to his knees by my bedside, his eyes filled withÂ
absolute adoration and relief.Â
Before I could speak a word of comfort, a sharpÂ
scream shattered the peace of the room.Â
Abby had somehow bypassed the multi–layered security detail and was sprinting straight towardÂ
the medical bassinets.Â
Her face was completely distorted, devoid of anyÂ
past glamour.Â
With her long, jagged nails extended, she lunged directly into the incubator zone.Â
The lead nurse threw her body over the bassinet toÂ
shield the infant.Â
A sickening sound echoed as Abby’s nails ripped a deep, bloody gash from the nurse’s cheek down toÂ
her throat.Â
Seeing her first attempt blocked, Abby shoved theÂ
bleeding nurse aside, raising her hand to strikeÂ
again.Â
Garrett delivered a brutal kick, sending Abby flying hard into the glass. The pane shattered instantly,Â
raining shards across the floor.Â
The broken glass showered over her, slicing fine lines into her skin as beads of blood began to wellÂ
- up.Â
And within seconds, her face was completelyÂ
crimson, masked in blood.Â
Abby raised her trembling hands, touching theÂ
sticky warmth on her face.Â
The tiny glass splinters had embeddedÂ
themselves deep into her flesh.Â
She let out a blood–curdling shriek of pure insanity, snatching up a heavy, jagged piece of broken glass from the floor and charging directly at myÂ
bed.Â
“Audrey! You ruined my life! I am going to kill you!”Â
She screamed, projecting all her failures onto me.Â
“You loose, shameless slut! Flashing yourself around, seducing men!”Â
“I met Garrett first! If it weren’t for you, he wouldÂ
have loved me!”Â
Before she could even finish, Garrett jumped in, desperately trying to clear his name.Â
“Honey, it was love at first sight when I saw yourÂ
back then. I wanted your contact info, butÂ
someone gave me the wrong number by mistake.”Â
He looked at me, his eyes filled with a desperateÂ
need to clear his name.Â
“The second I realized it was her, I blocked herÂ
number completely. Who could have guessed you two would end up becoming best friends laterÂ
on?”Â
I looked at the bleeding mess on the floor, theÂ
truth finally clicking. No wonder she had forcedÂ
herself into my social circle back then.Â
The friendship had been a calculated plot fromÂ
day one.Â
Abby spat out blood, her eyes wild.Â
“I don’t care! Audrey was seen going out aloneÂ
with another guy after she met you!”Â
“She’s a cheap little whore!”Â
I rolled my eyes.Â
“Is it possible, Abby, that I was just working on aÂ
lab project with my senior researcher?”Â
Garrett had zero desire to continue theÂ
conversation, waving his hand for the securityÂ
team to drag her out.Â
Abby dug her fingers into the doorframe,Â
screaming at the top of her lungs.Â
“Toby is dying! The doctors said he won’t live pastÂ
a year! How can you be this heartless to your own flesh and blood?!”Â
“I came here today for an answer!”Â
“No matter what, that child carries our blood!”
