Reborn From Betrayal: Hard To Get Your Heart

"She is going to go into labor very soon!"

"The patient's suffering a massive haemorrhage!"

"She is badly in need of blood transfusion. Does anyone here share her blood type?"

The Central Hospital of G City had a large maternity ward. Inside, Yuliana Ye, who was about to give birth, was sweating all over. She was exhausted. Much of her physical strength had been consumed due to the difficult labor she was in, and as a result, her vision was blurred. She could only hear the noise and footsteps around her and then they gradually disappeared far away.

"Help me..." Yuliana Ye felt a wave of cold coming over her, and despair rose from the bottom of her heart.

She knew that her family was outside the delivery room right now. But she was so weak that she couldn't call out to them. And the heavy door isolated her from the outside world.

"Sister." She suddenly heard a familiar voice. It belonged to her cousin Brenna Bai, and Yuliana Ye's dark eyes lit up when she heard her voice. A glimmer of hope rose from her desperate heart.

"Help me..." Full of hope, Yuliana Ye raised her bloody hand. It took all the strength she could muster just to do that.

She had always treated Brenna Bai as her own sister. And furthermore, after her cousin's parents had died, Yuliana Ye's father had felt sorry for the little girl and taken her in as his own daughter.

Yuliana Ye sincerely believed that the reason Brenna Bai had appeared now was to save her. However, she was so wrong!

With her long hair rolled up, Brenna Bai told her with a ferocious look, "Sister, you are so naive."

At the sight of Yuliana Ye's swollen belly, the resentment in Brenna Bai's eyes increased several folds, which gave Yuliana Ye a bad feeling. She subconsciously tried to protect her belly.

"Only I can have Tyler's child!" With a frightening look, Brenna suddenly held Yuliana's belly with her slender fingers and out of the blue, began to press it down hard. Pain and panic rushed into her heart with every single moment. Her eyes began to water.

"How dare you!" The sharp and resentful voice of Brenna came once again.

"No!" Feeling the threat to her belly and the life inside it, Yuliana struggled desperately, but she was too weak now. All her struggles were in vain.

"Help! Help me!" Tears streamed down Yuliana's cheeks and she croaked in a painful voice. The pitiful look on her face only made Brenna even more jealous.

Actually, it was because of Yuliana's beautiful face that Brenna was determined to destroy everything the former had.

"Stop yelling. It's useless, my dear sister!" Brenna's cold voice reached her ears with a trace of irony. "Tyler and I have already bribed the doctors and nurses. No one is going to be allowed to enter this room! At this moment, you can only see us!"

With an indifferent expression on his face, Tyler Xin was standing at the door. He was just standing there and watching coldly as Brenna bullied Yuliana.

"Tyler!" With tears in her eyes, Yuliana reached out a hand to him for help.

Tyler Xin had always taken good care of her. What was more, as the father of the child, he wouldn't sit by and do nothing!

"Save our child," she called out!

But the expressions on his face were also of irony. The only gentle gaze he sent was to Brenna. "There is no need for you to hold back!"

It broke her to see that Tyler Xin wasn't even looking at her while he was talking to Brenna.

It looked like Yuliana was just an irrelevant outsider in this scenario.

Her heart had gotten a glimmer of hope just now, but it was all gone. And she was desperate again.

She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, watching her husband and cousin who were affectionately looking at each other in front of her.

Theoretically, they should be the most trusted and loving people in her life, but they were the ones who were cutting Yuliana's heart one by one.

"You..." The love she could see in Brenna and Tyler's eyes for each other killed Yuliana. It was painful and heartbreaking and impossible to stop!

"Why did you steal my husband?" Piercing pain brought by the betrayal overwhelmed Yuliana. Her cousin was stealing her husband from her, and she had never known anything about it.

"Your husband?" Brenna sneered. "Tyler is my boyfriend. You were only ever a means to an end! Tyler was only with you because you could help him gain a firm foothold in the Hua Feng Company and grab its major shares!"

Yuliana felt an endless darkness spiraling in front of her. She had been used! So it was only because of her identity as the chairman's daughter of the Hua Feng Company that Tyler Xin had been good to her?

"I'm the one that Tyler really likes in his heart! I have always been the one! Yuliana, you have been the wife of the CEO for so many years. It's time for you to give it up."

Brenna's hatred of Yuliana was obvious in her eyes.

However, Yuliana still was in denial. "Why did you do this to me?" She didn't even have the strength to cry anymore. She was just lying there, weak and hopeless and alone on the bed in the delivery room.

"Why?" Brenna's eyes opened wide with fury! She sneered and pinched Yuliana's arm with her long nails. "I'm also the daughter of the Ye family. Why do outsiders think you are the sole noble daughter? But they only regard me as an adopted child. Why does everyone else treat me so differently?" Brenna knew clearly that Tyler's mother won't allow the two of them to get married because she wasn't actually an offspring of Hunter Ye. So she had to give Tyler over to Yuliana, even though she loved him.

And now, Yuliana was going to experience the same pain she had gone through!

Yuliana was shocked. How could Brenna think such a thing? Her father had taken Brenna in as his own child!

Wasn't that enough for Brenna?

"You don't know it yet, do you? My 'dear' sister." Brenna was satisfied with Yuliana's astonishment.

"You could have a C-section, but if so, our plan would fail! Which means, we need to do something about it!"

Looking at Yuliana's bulging belly, Brenna continued, "You are going to go into a bad labor now!"

With an innocent look in her eyes, she then told her, "Bad labor can kill people."

Brenna raised her wrist and looked at her watch nonchalantly.

"Marco has probably got wind of your labor. So I am sure he is driving here by now." There was a bloodthirsty joy in her eyes as she raised her hand and pinched Yuliana's chin, forcing the latter to look into her eyes. "But, do you think your dear brother will be able to arrive here safely and see you one last time?"

Like a bolt from the blue, Yuliana felt the news hit her. She stared at Brenna in disbelief. "You..."

Although Marco Ye was not very close to Brenna, he was not mean to her and he was still her family.

Yuliana hadn't expected that Brenna would do something to Marco Ye too.

"All right. It's late!" Tyler seemed to be getting impatient upon seeing Yuliana. He walked forwards, gently wrapped his arms around Brenna's waist and then said, "Don't talk to her. We've already told her so much about the impending doom. I am sure she will die in peace now."

With a proud smile, Brenna said, "Tyler..."

He immediately understood what she wanted. Then he slowly lifted his hand, pressing on Yuliana's belly.

The two people closest to her had betrayed her badly. All she had left was this child. No matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to the child.

However, Yuliana had run out of all her strength, owing to her labor, and she couldn't fight against Tyler. She just kept begging, "Look. You can do anything you want. Please don't hurt the child. Have some mercy. He is your child!"

Yuliana was hoping that Tyler would have some conscience and let go of the unborn baby which was his own.

However, the corners of his mouth merely curved into a cruel smile, and he tightened his grip.

"My child? Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I don't know that Malik likes you? I know that you begged Malik to not compete with me for the position of CEO. I may not have been there but I am sure I can figure out what happened that made him give up!"

Anger burning in his scarlet eyes, Tyler stared viciously at the helpless woman in front of him.

"I believe this child is the result of what happened that night," Tyler added.

Yuliana was covered in sweat. She was feeling a severe pain in her belly, but she had no strength left to cry out. She could now feel blood flowing down her legs.

Her body gradually turned cold, and the pleading eyes below her forehead gradually turned resentful. Why had she never seen the true colors of these two people before?

"Tyler, Brenna, I am not going to let you go even if I die!" Yuliana made a last ditch effort and cried out in a hoarse whisper.

Then, her eyes widened. While she was suffocating, a lifeless baby appeared between her legs. The child's dark and helpless face seemed to be complaining about having no chance to see the world.

What was this place? Yuliana's hand suddenly passed through the wall and she realized that now, she was just a ghost. Her spirit didn't seem to be willing to leave due to her own unwillingness and anger.

She floated with the wind to the rooftop of the hospital.

She could see Brenna and Tyler.

But they weren't alone. There was another man there with his face covered by a mask.

When she saw the two betrayers again, Yuliana's eyes were bloodshot. She glared at them, wishing to tear their bones apart and drink blood.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get close to Brenna and Tyler.

"Is it done?" There was a sinister look on Tyler's handsome face.

Yuliana was a little resentful. She was wondering why she hadn't managed to uncover his mask of hypocrisy even though they had been together for several years.

"Yes. It is done." The masked man nodded and bowed.

"As you expected, he drove here very fast. My truck came out of nowhere in front of him, so he couldn't stop the car and hit it head-on."

The masked man seemed rather proud. He then added, "He died on the spot. No treatment was possible!"

Satisfied, Brenna threw a card at the masked man who deftly caught it.

"Leave G City with this money! Don't ever be seen here again. Otherwise, you know my means!"

"Of course. Rest of the story is rather simple. Hearing that his beloved sister was going through a difficult labor, Marco was burning with anxiety. He didn't have time to consider whether he was over-speeding or not."

'What?'

When Yuliana heard the name of her brother, she felt like she had been struck by lightning. The next second, she suddenly came to her senses. They hadn't even let Marco go. They might have been covering their bases, or it might have been done purely to hurt her, but they had even bought someone to fake a car accident and killed him.

Endless sadness rose from the bottom of Yuliana's heart. It was Marco who had opposed her marriage with Tyler every step of the way. However, Yuliana was blinded by love at that time, which had deeply hurt Marco, but he had always been with her.

Yuliana wanted to tell Marco in person that she regretted her actions now. If there was a chance to start a new life, she would definitely listen to his suggestions.

At that moment, Yuliana really wanted to kill Brenna and Tyler.

She hated herself for not seeing through them, and her blind faith in love had killed her own brother.

Clenching her fists, she glared at the two who were triumphant.

"Let's go downstairs. My 'mother-in-law' is still waiting for news about her little baby." Tyler laughed sarcastically and gently took Brenna's slim and slender hand.

Rolling her eyes, Brenna smiled viciously, "Do you remember that my sister's mother has acute myocardial infarction?

You know what that means? If she finds out that Yuliana had a difficult labor and that Marco was in a car accident. It might shock her more than what she can endure. She might just lose her life too!"

"Babe, you are getting smarter and smarter every day." Tyler laughed and they slowly walked down the rooftop, holding Brenna in his arms affectionately.

Yuliana felt suffocated. Was it not enough that they had killed Marco and her? Couldn't they just let go of her mother now?

Yuliana hurried to catch up with Tyler and Brenna. She wanted to see everything, no matter how painful.

At the door of the delivery room, Yuliana saw Tyler and Brenna approaching her mother Jade Bai.

She wanted to call out to her mother and warn her to stay away from the two hypocrites.

Yuliana anxiously shuttled back and forth in front of her mother but she was just a ghost now. Jade Bai's hands clenched in her anxiety. She was sitting on chair in front of the delivery room, not responding to anything at all.

"Mom, Yuliana died due to labor complications," Tyler called out dejectedly, with a cunning look in his eyes.

Jade Bai couldn't believe it. Yuliana was being constantly checked on by the doctors. How could she just go into bad labor and then lose her life?

Obviously, Jade didn't believe it. She looked at Brenna in surprise, as if she wanted her to give a different response.

"Tyler isn't lying." Brenna's eyes stared at the ground in fake sorrow as she passed a paper towel to Jade. "Huh!"

After getting the confirmation from Brenna, Jade fell to the ground in dejection.

"How is that possible? How can it be possible?"

Seeing that Jade was in a total daze, Tyler winked at Brenna with his ferocious eyes.

"Marco heard that my sister had a difficult labor. He tried to rush here and was in a car accident. And... He died on the spot." Brenna understood the pointer. She took the opportunity and slowly moved closer to Jade. The latter was almost blank with despair. Tears welled up in Jade's eyes. Brenna leaned against the Tyler's side, like a helpless little woman. Who would have thought this woman had any viciousness at all? Except for the one who had witnessed it in the delivery room!

As if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, Jade stared into the distance with lifeless eyes. Her strength seemed to have been drained, and her body was weakly leaning against the guardrail.

Jade couldn't figure out why and how. Everything was just fine in the morning. Her children were sitting together and enjoying the happiness of a family reunion.

She was still packing up children's clothes, planning her grandchild's future with joy.

All of these beautiful things had turned into bubbles, which had faded away in an instant.

With dull eyes and muddled mind, Jade slowly walked towards the stairs aimlessly.

Looking at each other, Tyler and Brenna burst into a silent laughter. Complacent sneers appeared on their face. "The daughter and son of the Ye family are already dead. Next, the old bastard, Hunter. After that, the Hua Feng Company will belong to us completely."

Yuliana had no energy to care about the two psychos now.

She was completely focused on her absent-minded mother.

She followed her subconsciously, trying to comfort the heartbroken woman.

Jade's head was buzzing, and she was holding the cold railing in her hand without any strength.

Failing to take the continuous blows, Jade lost her consciousness. She missed her step, leaned forward slightly and then fell down.

"Mom!" Yuliana's eyes widened and she rushed forward, trying to save her falling mother.

Unfortunately, her soul was getting weaker every second. She could not even catch hold of her mother's hand.

Yuliana fell down quickly and she felt dizzy, as if she had been sucked in an endless whirlpool.

Her helpless soul gradually dissipated into nothingness and was gone!

Yuliana's body sank, and that sudden feeling of falling down made her open her eyes abruptly.

A sound of firecrackers echoed in her ears, which made her brows knit together tightly.

She was feeling sore all over her body.

Suddenly, she became sober in an instant when her body was abruptly hit by a crutch.

Yuliana immediately sat up and saw her grandmother, Joanna. Her face twisted in anger as she glared at her.

"Don't you know it's your cousin's promotion banquet today? Why are you still sleeping? You...you want to embarrass her on purpose, don't you? Now that you've graduated, you think you can sleep late. Huh?!"

Hatred was obvious in Joanna's eyes as she looked at Yuliana's face. Her features looked exactly like Jade's.

Yuliana was quite confused as seeing her grandmother's face. She was already dead, but her grandmother wasn't. So how come her grandmother was seeing her and even talking to her?

Shouldn't she be seeing Marco who had been killed?

Did her grandmother die too?

"Are you listening to me?!" Seeing that Yuliana was still in a daze, Joanna frowned and raised her crutch to hit the child once again. To be honest, the beating was more about Yuliana than about her actions. The woman hated seeing Yuliana's innocent expressions, as if the whole world was bullying and mocking her through that beautiful face.

A sharp pain spread through every corner of her body once again, and Yuliana finally understood what was going on. She looked at her grandmother in disbelief.

"Grandma!" "Just in time", Brenna ran to Joanna.

With tears in her eyes, she tried to hold back her grandmother's raising arm and pitifully tried to reason with her. "Maybe Yuliana forgot it. Maybe she just wants to have a rest. Don't blame her please, Grandma."

Yuliana would have believed the girl if she hadn't been reborn. But she knew better now!

What did Brenna even mean by "Maybe Yuliana forgot it"? Joanna had been looking forward to this day since forever. Today was Brenna's promotion banquet. From several days ago, she had begun to warn Marco and Yuliana to show respect to Brenna.

But Yuliana just "forgot" it. How would her grandmother think of her then?

These words seemed like they had been uttered as a plea for Yuliana, but in fact, they were pushing her into a dilemma. Yuliana was so stupid in her previous life that she had never understand what they meant or implied. She really thought that Brenna was pleading for her and was even grateful to her.

And sure enough, as soon as the words were uttered, Joanna's face darkened.

In her opinion, it was unforgivable for Yuliana to forget such an important thing.

"Mom." Perhaps it was because of the loud noise that the beating was causing, Jade was alerted and she came over instantly to block Joanna's crutch with her own body. Seeing Yuliana being beaten, she was feeling sorry for her daughter.

"Mom, you know that Yuliana was hit yesterday. She doesn't feel well and wants to sleep more today. I think it's best that she gets some rest because her wound hasn't healed yet." Jade tried to explain with a smile. "Besides, the banquet has barely started."

Joanna squinted at her with disdain and coldly replied, "No. I think it's because she doesn't know how to behave. Otherwise, why wasn't Queenie hit? She was the only one who was hit." She became rather impatient after saying those words, and the sight of Jade and Yuliana annoyed her furthermore. Therefore, Joanna didn't want to stay here any longer. She gave Yuliana a last, hard look and then rolled her eyes. "Get up quickly!"

Seemingly innocently, Brenna nodded at Yuliana and eagerly came to Joanna's side and helped her walk out of the room.

Jade sighed softly. Her eyes were full of a cowardly look. "Look. Your Grandma is getting old, and she is a little strange. Don't take it to heart. It's really late now. Now, get dressed. The guests are coming." If it hadn't been for the sadness in Jade's eyes, Yuliana might have actually believed that the strange things that Joanna did were because of her age.

But she could see that none of Joanna's weirdness were ever aimed at Brenna.

Jade was a kind-hearted and beautiful woman. The only bad thing about her was that she was too cowardly and seemed like she was totally at the mercy of others. That was the main reason it wasn't surprising to see Joanna bully Jade.

Yuliana remembered that Brenna's promotion banquet was held on two days after she had graduated from university.

Yuliana was confused. Was God going to give her a chance to live again?

Her delicate face was clouded with darkness. In her previous life, she had been blind and totally incompetent when it came to believing in the wrong crowd. But that was before! She could not let her family be in danger this life.

"Yuliana." Marco was wearing a white suit and he simply could not hide the affection in his eyes. He hid one hand behind his back and smiled brightly. "May I come in?"

His face was charming and featured, which was quite similar to Yuliana's. His love for his sister was from the bottom of his heart.

Yuliana turned to the direction of the door. Seeing Marco again was giving her the feeling as if it had been a lifetime since they'd met. Thinking about how her brother had been killed by Tyler and Brenna, she failed to hold back herself. Her nose twitched and tears welled up in her eyes.

Marco had stepped into the room with one foot. However, panicked at her teary eyes, he quickly withdrew his foot and told her in a pitiful tone, "Look. If you don't want me to come in there, I can just stand here and talk to you."

His warm and gentle voice made Yuliana burst into tears.

Seeing that his sister had suddenly started crying, Marco didn't know what to do. He rubbed his hands and looked at Jade for help.

"What's wrong with my sister, Mom?"

In Marco's memory, although Yuliana had always been fragile and needed protection, she wasn't the sort of person who started crying easily. Something had to go very wrong for her tears to come out.

Or had she changed her personality after graduation?

"Look at you two!" There was a melancholy look in Jade's charming eyes when she chuckled and complained to Marco, "Can't you see that your sister is still in pajamas?"

Marco, who had always been a bit arrogant, suddenly understood what was going on. He stuck out his tongue like a spoiled child, made a cute face at Yuliana and quietly left the room.

"Yuliana, I bought you this new pair of shoes. Would you like to try them on?" Jade smiled.

When Yuliana's hands touched the high-heeled shoes in her mother's hands, her bright eyes suddenly turned cold.

This was the work of a world famous designer. Such was the rarity of his art that people said that the artist only produced two pairs of shoes every year.
