Chapter 3

Mia Thompson saw my smile and panicked for a moment, but she quickly recovered. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach and started screaming.

"My stomach suddenly hurts so bad! Help!"

"Please save me, I'm five months pregnant. I can't let anything happen to my baby. I won't blame you no matter what happens."

"I just want to go home for Christmas. The baby's father is a soldier, serving our country. I don't want anything to happen to our child while he's protecting our nation. Please help me!"

I calmly looked away, crossing my arms and staring out the window.

Mia Thompson's cries of pain grew louder and louder. Jack, with a worried expression, suddenly spoke up, "Emily, that man just died because you didn't save him. Now a pregnant woman is in such pain right in front of you, why are you still unmoved?"

"Are you really that cold-blooded?"

The crowd's attitude towards me, which had just started to improve, instantly turned angry again.

"Yeah, her husband is a soldier protecting our country. Aren't you breaking his heart by doing this?"

Someone cursed me viciously, "Since you're refusing to save lives now, when you get pregnant, you definitely won't be able to keep your baby!"

I calmly replied, "I'm not an obstetrician. How am I supposed to help her?"

Jack's face looked very unpleasant. He thought I hadn't noticed, but his eyes glared at me darkly.

The next station was approaching. Jack suddenly stood up and walked to Mia Thompson's side, his voice full of guilt, "I'm so sorry. My wife is a doctor, but she's just watching you suffer. I feel so ashamed."

"Miss, if you don't mind, when we reach the station, I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up. It's the least I can do to make up for my wife's behavior."

The surrounding passengers praised him, "How can such a good man have such a heartless wife? He's really ruined his life."

"Indeed, this man is too kind-hearted."

Jack shook his head and said softly, "Please don't say that. My wife has her own concerns."

"Look, even in this situation, he's still defending his wife. He's too naive."

I found it laughable. Even at a time like this, he was still trying to maintain his image.

Mia Thompson gratefully replied, "Thank you so much, sir. I appreciate your help."

We arrived at the station. Jack quickly pushed our luggage and then went to help Mia Thompson off the train.

I slowly got off the train under the contemptuous and disgusted gazes of the crowd.

As we got into a taxi, Jack turned his head, "Honey, since you're not willing to examine her, I'll take her to the hospital. You don't mind, do you?"

I smiled slightly, "Not at all."

I leisurely took out my earphones from my pocket and started listening to music.

We got out of the taxi about a hundred meters from the hospital entrance. Jack was still supporting Mia Thompson, walking in front of me.

He looked back at me as if afraid I hadn't kept up, but I keenly noticed his eyes fall on my earphones. I gestured to him, asking what he had said, as I couldn't hear clearly while listening to music.

Jack smiled and waved his hand, turning back around reassured.

I saw their lips moving as they said something to each other. I smiled too, putting my phone, which had already been set to record, into my pocket.

Mia Thompson was still clutching her stomach, her face still wearing an expression of pain, but the words coming out of her mouth were completely different, "Jack, what if she doesn't fall for it?"

Jack replied viciously, "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything at the hospital. She won't be able to escape!"

I became alert. It seemed that Jack, having failed one plan, was implementing another. No matter what, I would face whatever came my way.
