chapter 1218
“After three days, if I don’t see the money,” He put the knife under her chin, “I’ll post all
those naked pictures of yours so that Mr. Tanner can see what his girlfriend would do for
money.”
Sandy’s shoulders were shaking, and the pain in her belly turned her pale.
Lenny finally left with his men.
Sandy noticed blood coming out between her legs and opened up her skirt to check. The
pain made her drop to the floor in tears, she took a deep breath and crawled up to the
couch to call Tanner, but Tanner didn’t pick up.

Pearl’s assistant walked out of the elevator and saw Tanner walking out with his jacket in
hand and no tie. His shirt was wrinkled too.
The assistant was surprised, but Tanner walked past her straight into the elevator before
she could ask.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pushed the door open. “Ms. Santiago, Mr. Hannigan—” when she saw the scene, it
made her freeze.
Pearl was curled up on the couch with only her underwear on, her hair was a little messy, and she
could see marks on her skin. The assistant brought her clothes over and covered her up. “ M-Mr.
Hannigan did this?”
Pearl didn’t answer but looked away.
Her assistant felt horrible. “Why would he do that? How could he... That’s disgusting! ”
Pearl looked up, and her voice was coarse. “ Don’t tell anyone about this. I don’t want anyone to know,
I beg you.”
She was broken enough and didn’t want the rumors to destroy her completely.
The assistant could see tears in her eyes, so she hugged her by her shoulder. “Alright, I promise.”
On the way leaving La Perla, Tanner received a call from the hospital. The caller said something, and
he immediately rushed toward the hospital.
Sandy was sent into the operation room, and Tanner rushed over. “Sandy!”
He was stopped outside, but he grabbed onto the doctor. “What happened?”
“Are you her boyfriend? She lost a lot of blood because of her miscarriage. How could you leave her
home alone?”
Lost blood because of miscarriage...
Tanner’s body swayed when he suddenly remembered a few missed calls from Sandy. He lost his
footing.
It was his fault. He had left her because a lot was going on in his mind, but he didn’t expect the phone
calls to be for help.
He leaned against the wall and covered his face with his hands. He was such a jerk.
After an hour, Sandy was pushed out of the operation room, but she was still out because of the
anesthesia.
Tanner stood outside the room and looked at her lying there, feeling deeply guilty.
The doctor walked over and looked at him. “ Sir, I’m afraid you need to be mentally
prepared.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTanner was surprised. “Why?”
The doctor frowned. “Didn’t you know that your girlfriend had a history of abortion? Her
uterus walls are really thin now, and after this miscarriage, I’m afraid she won’t be able to
have children anymore.”
Tanner’s face froze.
He looked toward the room again with a dark expression when the doctor left.
After a long time, Sandy woke up and saw him standing by her bed with a dark expression,
and she burst out crying, “why didn’t you answer my calls, Tan? Did you know how much
pain I was in? We lost the child—”
Tanner was feeling guilty, and the guilt lingered in his heart because they had lost a child.
After all, he hadn’t picked up her calls, but after the doctor told him that she had a history of
abortions, the way he looked at her had changed.
Seeing how cold he was, Sandy stopped crying and put out a hand toward him. “Tan, why
are you looking at me like that? Do you think I didn’t protect the child well? It’s not my fault.
I wanted to protect him too, but... someone came and beat me up because they didn’t want
me to give birth. I’m in so much pain.”
