Chapter 1

I fell and started bleeding profusely after shielding Lucas from a flying teacup, threatening my pregnancy.

As the ambulance arrived, Lucas's first love called, asking him to bring her some sanitary pads.

Despite the paramedics' objections, he insisted on leaving.

"I'm not a doctor. It's useless for me to stay here. Don't be so dramatic," he said coldly.

"I'll be back after I deliver these to Lily."

I fell and started bleeding after shielding Lucas Gray from a flying teacup. As the ambulance arrived, Lucas's first love called, asking him to bring her some sanitary pads.

Despite the paramedics' objections, he insisted on leaving.

"I'm not a doctor. It's useless for me to stay here. Don't be so dramatic," he said coldly.

"I'll be back after I deliver these to Lily."

With those words, Lucas hurried across the street and hailed a taxi.

I curled up in pain on the stretcher as the paramedics lifted me into the ambulance.

Sharp pain spread through my abdomen, as if invisible hands were violently twisting my insides. I was drenched in cold sweat, unable to utter a word.

The paramedics' angry comments reached my ears.

"What kind of person is he? His wife is in this condition, and he just runs off? What if we need a signature for surgery?"

"Never seen anyone refuse to accompany their family member after calling an ambulance. What could be more important than your loved one's life?"

"A dog would be more loyal than that."

My own husband, willing to abandon his critically ill wife to buy sanitary pads for his first love.

How ridiculous is that?

Tears slid down my cheeks as I watched Lucas's retreating figure through blurry vision. Then, I lost consciousness.
