He Showed No Mercy When I Gave Birth Chapter 07 Too Late to Beg

While the Sterling family was tearing itself apart, I was recovering in silence at the Hayes family’s private rehabilitation center.

The doctors gave me the best care money could buy, but my body had been pushed past its limit. Pain lived in every inch of me. This time, I slept for what felt like forever.

In my dream, I saw Father for the first time in five years.

Every Saintess of the Blood Witch Clan was bound by one rule.

She had to marry within the clan.

Only a pure Saintess bloodline could keep the Blood Witch Clan powerful and prosperous through the generations.

That was why, even after the Sterling family saved Father’s life, he had still fought my marriage to Adrian Sterling with everything he had.

But I loved Adrian.

For him, I turned my back on the entire Blood Witch Clan. From then on, Father and I stopped speaking.

Back then, I had been so blinded by love that I did not even invite Father to my wedding. I thought I was walking into happiness. Yet the day before the ceremony, the clan still sent truckload after truckload of bridal gifts to stand behind me.

The memory made my eyes burn.

Then I heard Father call my name.

I opened my eyes slowly.

And there he was.

Father was really there.

When he saw the knife wounds covering me, tears rolled down his aged face. He kept blaming himself for not protecting me.

1 shook my head and told him everything that had happened in the Sterling family.

His heart broke for me.

He cursed Adrian for being cold-blooded and heartless.

He grieved for the grandson he had never even gotten to hold.

Then he clenched his fists and moved to storm straight to the Sterling estate. He wanted to beat Adrian with his own hands.

I stopped him.

Adrian should have died in that car accident five years ago. I was the one who forced life back into him with my heart’s blood. After that, I kept feeding him blood refined through my own heart vessels so he could keep looking like an ordinary man.

It had been a week since I left the Sterling family. By now, he must have become something barely human.

For a man like Adrian, born proud and raised to care about appearances, losing all dignity in front of others was already punishment enough.

One day, the butler came to tell me Adrian was begging to see me. Father happened to be away on business, so I went to the living room.

Half a month had passed since I last saw him. Adrian’s cheeks had sunk deep into his face. His skin was dry, shriveled, and stretched tight over his bones. Not a trace remained of the handsome man he used to be.

The moment he saw me, Adrian tried to roll off the stretcher like he had lost his mind. His brittle bones screamed with pain, and cold sweat broke across his forehead.

“Iris, I was wrong. I should never have ignored what you felt. I should never have let Rosalie get so close. You like children, don’t you? We can adopt one. We’ll name him Teddy, okay? He can stay with us in place of the son we lost.”

Adrian struggled to reach for me.

Then he heard my laugh.

His hand froze in midair.

‘No.

“Adrian, you really are shameless.”

Panic spread across Adrian’s face.

“I thought you were after the Sterling family’s money and status. I thought you came to me under the excuse of repaying a debt because you wanted to become Mrs. Sterling. I was angry, so I lost control and had the doctors pulled away from your delivery room. I’ll bring in the best doctors for you. We can still have our own child.

“If you hate Rosalie and her son, I’ll send them away right now!’ll spend the rest of my life making this up to you. I’ll love you twice as much. Just let me recover first, okay? After that, we’ll live properly. We’ll start over.”

That was when I finally understood.

Even now, Adrian still did not believe I was the Saintess of the Blood Witch Clan.

He still believed I had cursed him.

gave a quiet, cold laugh.

“Adrian, I loved you without holding anything back. You answered that love with contempt, cruelty, and pain. Now your end is near, and I can’t help you. I have never done anything to harm you or anyone around you. Believe me or don’t. It changes nothing.”
