My Beastly Fertility System Chapter 108: Betrayal Revealed
Claire had been in pain for quite a while now, but the last youngling seemed to just be spinning around inside her, and not moving down. Even Jeffrey was getting nervous.
He didn't know how to help her ease the pain. All he could do was watch.
"Ah! It hurts!" Claire cried out.
She didn't even have the energy to ask Pome what was going on. She just wanted to get this troublemaker out as fast as possible.
Eventually, the pain drained all her strength. Her breathing was faint and weak. She looked up weakly.
Jeffrey muttered, "Sorry about this."
Then he lifted the fur skirt she'd been wrapped in.
It had already been pulled down to her knees to make it easier for the eggs to come out, so Jeffrey didn't need to do much—he just had to pick the eggs up from the soft dirt.
But now, he had no other choice!
He had to take a risk!
Claire vaguely felt a cold tentacle enter her body. It grabbed the youngling that was still spinning inside and pulled it out.
The moment the youngling finally left her body, Claire relaxed completely and lost consciousness.
Just before losing consciousness, she faintly heard the system notification.
"Host has given birth to the 38th beastling. Species: nine-tailed glass fox. Gender: female. Level: 3. Reward: one Level 3 Moon Flower."
...
Claire's consciousness slowly sank. In her dream, she returned to her past life—the modern world filled with technology.
Under dazzling city lights, a well-dressed man in a suit was holding a curvy woman, kissing her passionately.
They took a long time to finally pull apart.
Floating in midair, Claire recognized the man. It was her husband, Darius Cooper. He was the one she'd always longed for, the man she had gone through hell and back for just to give him children.
"Honey, that old hag's been dead for a month. When are we getting married?" the sexy woman asked, pressing herself against Darius.
Darius pecked her on the cheek, wrapped an arm around her, and coaxed her.
"No rush. Let's wait until you're pregnant first. You know, that old hag couldn't give me a kid even after ten years. My mom is traumatized! Don't worry. Once you're pregnant, we'll have a grand wedding," he said, slipping a bracelet onto her wrist.
The woman's annoyed expression instantly disappeared when she saw how valuable it looked. She clung to his arm sweetly.
"Thank you, Honey!"
They stayed lovey-dovey for a while before Darius finally left her place.
But just minutes after he walked out, another man knocked on the door. The moment he stepped inside, he pulled her into his arms, his hands roaming all over her.
"You're not ditching me just because you hooked up with that idiot Darius, right?"
"Relax. I need a rich sucker to take responsibility for our son. Once he's dead, all his money will be ours."
"Better make it quick, or your belly's going to show. You've already been with him for two months. For you, I even killed his wife."
Claire felt like a giant hand was squeezing her heart, making it impossible to breathe.
So, Darius had been cheating on her for a whole month before her accident! And her death wasn't an accident at all! It was just a stepping stone for a mistress to take her place.
Claire felt weak all over. She tried to run, to get away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move. She was stuck there, forced to listen to the two of them whispering sweet nothings.
After who knows how long, she found herself back beside Darius again.
This time, it was his wedding to that woman. The venue was luxurious and flashy. The hall was packed, and you could spot celebrities mingling in the crowd.
Compared to her own shabby wedding—just three tables, barely any friends or family in sight—Claire's heart sank.
Beneath the woman's expensive wedding gown, her belly was already slightly rounded. She stuck it out on purpose, showing it to every guest.
The scene shifted again before Claire could sink too far into her grief. The woman was being wheeled into the delivery room.
A baby's cry rang out. The child was born.
Before Darius could even hold it, a sleazy-looking man rushed in and snatched the newborn.
Chaos broke out outside the delivery room.
In the scramble, Darius recognized the man and pointed at him, shouting, "Aren't you Lila's Uncle Joe? What are you doing? Give me my child!"
"Hahaha!"
Joe Acorn burst out laughing like he'd gone insane.
"Your child? Let me tell you, that's my child with Lila. I'm not her damn uncle. I'm her man! I've been sleeping with her for five years!"
Darius and his mother were shocked.
The three of them got into a huge fight over the baby and ended up making a scene at the nurse's station. In the end, they decided to get a DNA test.
When the results came back, Darius snapped.
He lunged at Lila Duval on the hospital bed, his hands around her throat as he roared, "You bitch! This is the son you said you had for me? This is how you fooled me?!"
Lila's face turned red as she struggled to breathe. Medical staff rushed in and pulled him off.
She shot a venomous look at Joe. "You deadbeat! Didn't I tell you I'd give you the 500,000 in a few days? What's the point of pulling this stunt on me?"
