His father had harmed her parents.
And now, she was forced to continue pretending to be blind and ignorant. She had to keep recognizing that bastard as her father.
"The Channings shouldn’t hurt people like this."
Oliver found Fanny's words somewhat amusing, "Didn't you also do the same to me?"
The image of blood flowing from Fanny beneath him resurfaced in his mind.
That blood.
It was his child.
His flesh and blood...
The happy family life he once hoped to create with Fanny...
It was all gone now.
All gone!
The only thing lingering in Oliver's heart is hatred.
He hated Fanny.
He hated her for causing the death of their child. He hated her revenge. He also hated himself. He hated his father for taking Fanny in after causing the accident that killed her parents.
Vroom!
The car suddenly started moving.
Fanny was caught off guard. She lurched forward from the car's momentum, and hit her head hard against the back seat.
Thud!
Fanny winced in pain. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and she was dizzy.
If it were before, Oliver would definitely stop the car. He wouldn't immediately ask if she's in pain or would he comfort her right away, but he would carefully inquire about her current symptoms.
That was his habit from his time as a doctor.
In contrast to those comforting gestures, he cared more about her overall health.
If Fanny had a slight headache, Oliver would be overly concerned, pulling her to check this and that.
But now...
The sound had been loud.
Even the rain hitting the car window couldn't drown out the sound of the impact.
Fanny's face turned pale from the pain.
The intense movements caused her stomach to ache sharply. Oliver forcefully restrained her, rendering her unable to move, only able to make small, restrained noises in his arms.
She wasn't a threat to him at all, let alone escape from his embrace.
He held her like that, confidently moving towards his intended direction.
"Oliver! I won't get pregnant again! I won't have your child again! There's... There's such a deep hatred between us! I want your father dead, do you understand? I want all of you dead!"
How could he?
How could he be so cruel as to make her bear another child for him?!
"I don't owe you anything!" Fanny shouted hoarsely, her voice strained. "I don't owe you anything!"
"Whether you owe me or not, it's not for you to decide."
Oliver's gaze fell onto her stomach. Finally, there was a slight change in emotion.
"Only I can decide whether you owe me or not. Be good." He lowered his head beside Fanny's ear, speaking as though he was coaxing her. "As long as you give birth to one, just one, I'll divorce you. Then, you can do whatever you want to the Channings. To my dad. I'll leave it to you."
He had gone mad.
He must be mad!
After Oliver threw Fanny into a room, her conviction about this idea grew stronger.
