Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 408: "I'm sorry. You were in a critical condition, and I felt like I had no other choice," he said honestly, knowing it probably wouldn't change anything. Candice lay on the bed, overwhelmed with grief. Her nose twitched as tears streamed down her face. Her tears poured like a waterfall down her cheeks. She tried desperately to hold back, not wanting to cry in front of him or show any weakness, but the sadness was too heavy to bear. She sobbed silently. Watching her trembling shoulders, Milton felt a pang of sorrow. Was she crying? An urge to hold her surged through him.

Candice suddenly sensed his presence close by and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Stay back! Don't come near me." Though silent in her weeping, her strained voice revealed her inner turmoil. She took a deep breath and said, "Milton, I remember every word you said in the courtroom. Every single word." "To end this now, I'll give you one billion. That's more than enough to last you even in your next life. All I ask is that you forget what happened that night. Don't be too-" "Greedy, and don't come to me to threaten me with a baby.

If you are pregnant, you will have an abortion, no matter what it costs me. Even if you insist and give birth to it, it will never be my heir." Candice repeated each word with deliberate clarity, then sneered, "Well, you finally did it, didn't you?" Milton swallowed hard, feeling as though each of his words was piercing his heart like a sharp blade. He had no idea that Candice was the woman he had slept with that night when he said those words.

"Milton, I was foolish to trust you, to believe that you would protect me from harm. I gave you the power to decide and have my child aborted. You are truly a man of your word." Candice let out a bitter chuckle. "Who cares about being your heir? I am capable of raising my own child! How could you presume to hold sway over my life? How dare you!" "Candice, I did not mean..." Milton attempted to interject. But she silenced him with a fierce shout, "Shut up! What more could you possibly have to explain? Do you know who was responsible for pushing me down the stairs?

Do you know who caused this tragedy that resulted in the loss of my child?" Milton was taken aback by her questions and asked, "Who was it?" It had been reported that Madilyn and Rachel had been detained by the authorities for their crimes, but if they were not the culprits, then who could have harmed Candice and caused her baby's untimely demise? . . .
