Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 348 - Not Losing A Miracle

"Bobby," Scarlett hugged his back and pulled him inside the house.

Cia is playing in the living room and she knew in front of Cia, he'd behave. Charlie and five other men had to push Bobby inside with all their strength.

"Let me go, f*cking cowards! Who is that Jerry? Still protecting that b*tch? I'll kill him first before I…" he went on and tried to get out.

"Dada…" that little voice of Cia didn't reach Bobby who was burning in rage and shouting profanities.

But the baby didn't think that her father is ignoring her. She walked and pulled his hand. Bobby was raging and almost yanked his hand away from her grip but a tight slap on his back snapped him.

"Pick up your daughter, Bobby," Scarlett spoke in a stern voice. Bobby's face that was red like a raging volcano calmed down looking down.

"Cia," he picked her up and kissed her cheek.

He still couldn't smile, but his rage has reduced a lot looking at the angelic face of his daughter. Apparantly, his daughter wants to show him her coloring book.

"Peppa…" Cia said pointing at the floor.

Bobby placed her on his lap picking up the coloring book and started asking questions. His daughter has no coordination yet and she doesn't like the idea of coloring inside the lines.

"Who is this?" he asked pointing at a big round bespectacled pink pig.

"Dada…" Cia pointed at him and started giggling.

Bobby's lips curved up. She always says this.

"Where is momma?" He asked.

Scarlett let out a sigh seeing Bobby a little calmed down. He still is not calm but he has regained his self-control. She closed the door and stepped out.

"What happened, Charlie?" she asked him.

She's not willing to make Bobby angry by asking him what made him angry. Bobby told her that he's going to meet Charlie. And so Charlie must know everything.

Charlie explained everything that happened in the morning at the clinic and Scarlett paced to and fro in the front yard trying to understand everything.

"So Emma caused Jerlina's miscarriage? The doctor figured it out and Daisy knew it. Emma~" her throat closed. She took a deep breath.

"Emma killed Daisy and went for the doctor next? But thanks to Jerlina, the doctor was saved and Jerlina was about to kill Emma? But Jeremy stopped Jerlina and carried Emma out?"

Scarlett couldn't believe everything that seemed to be out of a horror movie but Charlie nodded at her each question.

"I'll…" Scarlett rubbed her forehead. "I'll keep him calm, Charlie. Thanks," Scarlett told Charlie and stepped inside the house.

Charlie nodded and decided to be alert. Bobby and Jeremy cannot fight today. Not when Jerlina isn't here. He looked at the distance and he saw dark clouds rising.

Oh, Jeremy… why did you decide to protect Emma? You're wrong to do that.

Oh, Squirrel… how could you leave like this..?

Jeremy would be so alone…

Scarlett got back inside the house. Bobby was smiling and Cia was giggling. Seeing that, she felt like getting caressed by a gentle breeze in a scorching desert. She still felt like there is hope.

"Geoge… Geoge…" Cia said pointing at the coloring book. "Mama… Geoge…" she pointed at Scarlett's belly and Scarlett held her lower abdomen unknowingly.

Scarlett didn't tell Bobby that she was going to test for pregnancy. She didn't know how he would take it. The doctors advised her not to get pregnant again. They also said that the probability for her to get pregnant again would be very slim.

Cia is just a year old and she got pregnant again although they were careful. And this happened just as she wished for something to help her with her grief of losing her loving mother-in-law.

This is nothing short of a miracle, right?

She wanted to keep the child and do everything she can to bring it to the world! And she had a feeling that the baby would be safe. She had a feeling that Daisy is sending this baby as a comfort. She was an angel when she lived and she definitely would be an angel in heaven now.

For Scarlett, the baby has become something of a godsend. She wanted to protect the baby. She tried to talk to Bobby about it but he-

"George?"

Bobby's voice turned a little deep and that made Scarlett get out of her trance. Bobby looked up and glared at Scarlett. His wife's been talking about another baby these days and he is not pleased.

He's been having a stroke of terrible luck with all the women in his life. First, he lost his sister, and then his mother. His wife and his daughter are all he has left. With his wife's condition, he is not going to risk another pregnancy. He is planning on doing the snip but his wife is stopping him. He is planning on doing it without her knowledge pretty soon.

That is after Emma is dead!

"There is no George, Cia," Bobby kissed the baby. "There never will be George. It's going to be dada, momma, and Cia forever," he hugged her.

"Momma…" Cia was confused.

Momma said she'll get a little sibling… Why is her dada saying this? Momma is sad…

Scarlett gulped and said nothing. She watched Cia ended up sleeping hearing Bobby's story. She got to him to get Cia but he shook his head and stood up.

"You're acting weird, Kitty… When did you last get your periods?" his eyes ended up at her abdomen. "If there is something, tell me. We'll have to fix an appointment in a hospital in the city. The sooner, the better for your health," he whispered as he climbed the stairs.

Scarlett's eyes watered and she ran to the kitchen to let him not see her tears. She decided to wait for some more weeks before telling him. She was not willing to lose this miracle.

Ah, Jerlina… She'd be in pain right now.

Scarlett dialed Jerlina once more.

"Jerlina…" She didn't know what to say. Only a sigh escaped her mouth.

"So you've heard…" Jerlina bit her lips. "Emma… she… she wins, Scarlett… She always gets what she wants…"

"That b*tch!" Scarlett sighed. "How could she… Who would think of killing someone like Daisy, Jerlina? How could she? All the sufferings Daisy endured before she…" Scarlett cried.

"What is an old woman to Emma, Scar? It's not like Daisy never showed her disgust towards Emma openly. Doesn't that make Daisy an enemy? She's someone who gets intimidated by a potential baby… Would you have thought of giving abortion pills to someone in case they are pregnant, Scarlett? Emma can. She's that…" Jerlina gritted her teeth.

"Evil…"

"She didn't even know you were pregnant?" Scarlett opened her eyes wide. "She's f*cked up in her head! Crazy!"

Jerlina scoffed. "True… and still she's loved," she said wryly.

But tears dripped from the corner of her eyes.

"Oh, where are you now?" Scarlett asked. Charlie said she left somewhere.

"Where do you think, Scar," Jerlina sighed.

Scarlett pressed her lips.

Where could she be?
