Cruel Captive Experiment on My Anniversary Chapter 07

Cruel Captive Experiment on My Anniversary Chapter 07 The Trash and the Treasure

A sharp, ugly laugh erupted from the recorder.

“You know what? That story about the research sponsor being my contact? I made it up. He was so foolish. he never eveni checked. Just believed me.”

Adrian’s hand trembled, a vein throbbing at his temple.

The recording continued. “Serena played the perfect little housewife. So pathetic. And she actually thought she was special. She never knew he’d been done with her for years.”

A pause, then her voice turned more vicious.

“You should’ve seen her in that cage. Like an animal. And her little princess? Same blood, same mess, Guess crazy really does run in the family.”

CRACK. Adrian’s palm struck his own face with brutal force.

His cheek flamed red, already swelling.

“I’m sorry…” he choked out, slapping himself again and again. “I’m so sorry…” Each slap was a punctuation of his self-loathing.

He only stopped when the swelling blurred his vision.

Then a thought jolted him. He scrambled for the evidence, clutching it to his chest as he rushed back to the hospital.

He staggered through the hospital corridors, shoving past people, too dazed to apologize.

Swinging the door open, he raised his hand-a sharp crack echoed as his palm met Lydia’s cheek.

Her head snapped sideways, a red handprint blazing across her pale skin.

“Why… why did you hit me?” she stammered in disbelief, clutching her face, tears already glistening.

Ethan jumped between them. “Dad! How could you hit Mom?”

Crack. Another slap, this time across Ethan’s face. “Your real mother and Lila are gone-wake up, idiot!”

He shoved the recorder forward and pressed play. Lydia’s vicious laughter filled the room.

Ethan stared, horror dawning as he heard her words-the woman he’d worshipped, now exposed.

“You’re nothing but a bastard!” Lydia’s vicious voice kept coming from the recording.

Ethan trembled. Memories rushed in.

His mother’s breakfasts, her cool hand during fevers, her gentle voice after failed tests… Lila’s tiny smile, her first attempt to call his name…

And he had helped with this cruel experiment to destroy them-for her.

Lydia stared at the adoption papers, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She wasn’t their blood. She’d been discarded in trash, rescued and raised by Serena through years of sacrifice. Their mother had been selling plasma to pay for Lydia’s treatments-which led to the illness that killed her…

A tear of remorse welled, but her eyes hardened into feral madness.

“Everything I did was for your love! I’m carrying your child!”

Adrian’s expression turned to ice. His fist drove hard into her abdomen.

A guttural scream tore from her as she collapsed. A dark stain spread between her legs.

“I’ll find my wife and daughter. Then I’m coming back for you.”

He turned and left without a glance.

Ethan looked at the sobbing figure on the floor one last time. Then he followed his father.

Only Lydia’s piercing wails echoed in the sterile room.
