My Best Friend Took My Leg, My Baby, and My Love Chapter 07

Ethan Sterling practically fled Riverstone Medical Center.

He leaned against the wati outside and lit a cigarette.

Through the swirling smoke, Sophie Carter’s tear-streaked face suddenly irritated him.

“Ethan Sterling, can you stop smoking?”

“I’m pregnant.”

“What are we going to do?”

Ethan lowered his head and let out a cold laugh.

His voice was filled with sarcasm.

“What are we going to do?”

“Sophie Carter, weren’t you so confident when you stole someone else’s husband?”

“You seduced Adrian Walker while she was pregnant.”

“Then you went after me.”

“And now that everything has been exposed, you’re scared?”

“Tell me.”

“What exactly did you want?”

Sophie wiped away her tears.

Then she suddenly laughed bitterly.

“I don’t know.”

“Maybe it was jealousy.”

She had once truly considered Natalie Bennett a friend.

But Natalie’s life had always seemed perfect.

Even after Sophie saved Natalie’s life and became part of her social circle…

She still felt like she was nothing in Natalie’s eyes.

Someone who could be replaced anytime.

Then Natalie’s family fortune fell apart.

Overnight, Natalie became an ordinary persoti just like her.

And Sophie was genuinely happy.

Finally…

she could stand beside Natalie.

Finally, they were equals.

But once they entered the real world, Sophie realized that wasn’t true.

They had the same education.

They were both struggling financially.

But Natalie could still find a job at a major corporation.

Even Natalie’s husband was a talented and handsome doctor with a bright future.

Meanwhile, Sophie had accomplished nothing.

The jealousy inside her took root like a poisonous seed.

And eventually…

she climbed into Adrian Walker’s bed.

Later, Natalie divorced Adrian and ended her pregnancy.

Finally…

Natalie was suffering just like her.

Sophie had felt satisfied.

But then Natalie got lucky again.

She found a man who loved her even more.

A man who was richer.

A man who could give her everything Sophie had always wanted.

That was when Sophie started hating Natalie.

Then she noticed the way Ethan looked at her.

The interest in his eyes.

The attraction.

At that moment….

Sophie felt victorious.

She could no longer tell whether she loved Ethan or if she only wanted what he represented.

She only knew one thing.

She wanted to take everything from Natalie.

She wanted to live a better life than Natalie.

Then she wanted to appear before Natalie like a savior.

She wanted Natalie to look up to her.

She wanted Natalie to never dare underestimate her again.

Thinking about that, Sophie wrapped her arms around Ethan’s arm.

Her voice became soft.

“Ethan Sterling, I know I made mistakes.”

“But I’m with you because I love you.”

“Nattie will never forgive us.”

“Please divorce her.”

“We have a child now.”

Ethan remained silent for a long time.

He rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

“Wait.”

“Let me call the police and deal with those criminals first.”

“Then I’ll apologize to Natalie.”

Panic flashed through Sophie’s eyes.

The moment she saw Ethan take out his phone, she stepped forward.

She threw herself into his arms.

“No!”

“Ethan Sterling, I need to tell you the truth…”

“Those people…”

“I hired them.”

“What did you say?”

Ethan’s voice instantly dropped to a terrifying level.

Sophie lowered her head.

Her voice was full of tears.

“I was just afraid you wouldn’t divorce her.”

“I wanted to force you to choose.”

“I never wanted to hurt Nattie.”

“She’s okay now, isn’t she?”

“Please…”

“Don’t investigate this.”

Ethan stared at her.

Then suddenly…

he raised his hand.

His fingers closed around Sophie’s neck.

“Sophie Carter…”

“You’re completely insane.”

“I must’ve been blind to let someone like you fool me.”

Sophie struggled desperately.

She couldn’t breathe.

Her fingers clawed at his hand.

Leaving red marks.

With the last bit of strength she had, she screamed:

“I’m carrying your child!

“Ethan Sterling!”

“Our baby is inside me!”/

“If you call the police…”

“I’ll be arrested too.”

“And your child will be gone.”
