Chapter 1

To protect his illegitimate child, Lucas pushed me down the stairs when I was in late pregnancy.

He left me bleeding profusely and rushed to the hospital with that illegitimate child.

It wasn't until I was sent to the operating table that I learned the truth.

He forced me to give birth to this child, just to save the life of his and Amber's illegitimate child.

Poof—

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed from my mouth, staining Amber's face.

Before losing consciousness, all I could hear was Amber's panicked screams.

And those words mercilessly revealing the truth about why Lucas made me pregnant and give birth.

When I woke up again, I was in the operating room of the hospital.

The lights above me swayed back and forth, stinging my eyes.

My limbs felt like they were being gnawed by ants.

I could constantly hear the doctors discussing around me.

Intermittently, not very clearly.

The gist was that I might die on this operating table due to excessive blood loss.

And the child in my belly would never have a chance to be born into this world.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from my eyes. I wanted so badly to grab the doctor's hand and beg him to save me, to save my child.

But I had no strength. I could only let them cut open my belly and take out the baby that was originally nurtured there.

Then my body was like a rag doll, being turned over and stitched up by the doctors.

Until finally I heard a "beep", and the doctors stopped their actions.

And my consciousness began to gradually leave my body.

Looking at the tiny body placed beside the operating table, my heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

After all, he was once expected to be born.

The doctors kept calling Lucas's phone again and again, but couldn't get through.

And I just watched numbly, unable to stir up any ripples in my heart.

I don't know how long it took, but finally someone came to deal with my and the baby's bodies.

It wasn't my legal husband, the father of the child, Lucas.

But Amber, with tears in her eyes but a smile on her lips—

My own elder sister.

She took away my baby with the organ donation consent form signed by Lucas.

As for me, she only left a sentence "Contact the crematorium to cremate as soon as possible, to avoid the family's grief" before leaving without looking back.
