Chapter 427:
At that moment, my subordinate walked over to me.
“Mr. Wharton is looking for you. He’s very angry right now. He wants you to stop everything and go meet him.”
“I will plead guilty in person, but the operation has already begun. We can’t stop now!” I said, firmly.
“Who allowed you to do this?!” Herbert roared angrily at me.
I remained silent.
“Bang!”
Herbert punched me in the face. The violent impact made me stumble, and I could taste blood in my mouth.
“Connor, you’re too bold!” he shouted.
“I told you not to hurt Bella again! You even dared to disobey my orders!”
Mr. Wharton’s eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with rage.
I didn’t resist. I allowed him to hit me, my fist clenched in silence. A few minutes later, I spoke.
“The operation has started. In a few hours, the baby will be born. The doctor will take the baby’s blood. Lucas will survive! Mrs. Stepanek and the baby will be treated by the best doctor in the city. There will be no danger.”
“Enough! This isn’t the reason you hurt Bella!” Mr. Wharton shouted, still furious.

I replied, “Mr. Wharton, I’m not defending myself. I did hurt her. I wanted her to give birth to the child earlier. No matter how you want to punish me, I will accept it.”
I continued, “But I don’t regret what I did. If you gave me another chance to make a choice, I would do the same thing. I know you are a kind person. You won’t let anything happen to Mrs. Stepanek. But Lucas’s condition is worsening. If we don’t act now, Lucas will die.”
“You love Lucas. If he dies, you might fall into a painful abyss for the rest of your life. I don’t want to see that happen. So let me bear all the consequences!”
“You!”
He stared at me, his haggard face filled with shock.
“Mr. Wharton, no matter how you punish me, I will accept it all. When you brought me back from the battlefield, I made an oath to God that I would be loyal to you.”
These were the most sincere words from the bottom of my heart.
I was originally just an ordinary person in Syria. The explosion destroyed my homeland, and I lost everything.
It was Mr. Wharton who saved me. He taught me many skills and placed his trust in me.
If it weren’t for him, I would have died long ago.
Therefore, I was willing to repay him with everything I had, including my honor and my life.
Herbert’s POV:
In the end, I let go of Connor.
