Anya’s POV:As soon as I came out of Dad’s ward, tears flowed down my cheeks.I didn’t want this to happen to Tina either, but I could not understand why I was being blamed.‘Forget it. Think whatever they want.’I was disappointed and tired. I had a clear conscience and would not apologize to anyone.I returned to Jerry’s ward, regained my composure, and began to organize our things.I didn’t want to see this group of people again. I would feel crushed just being near them.So, I decide to transfer Jerry to another hospital.Jerry was still running a high fever, and his face was red.“Mommy…”“Baby, you are awake! Are you still feeling unwell?” I come to the head of the bed and gently touch his head.“Mommy, don’t worry. I am much better now.”Hearing that I felt a little choked up. I helped him change into clothes. “Be good. Jerry, let’s go. We’re leaving.”“Mommy, didn’t the doctor tell me to stay for few more days? I still feel a little unwell. I don’t want to go to school.” He po
Kester’s POV:We had just stepped out of the hospital when Anya rushed to the flower bed on the side and vomited.Seeing this I hurriedly handed Jerry to Emily run over to look at her.“Anya, what’s wrong?”Anya lost control of her emotions, letting out a heart-wrenching sob, and threw herself in my arms.“It’s okay. It’s okay. Everything will pass.” I hugged her tightly and patted her back to comfort her.Anya sobbed, letting out a heart-wrenching cry.This is the first time I have seen Anya like this. She had completely lost control of her emotions.Seeing her like this, my heart ached even more, and my eyes also turned red. “Cry if you want to. You will feel better if you cry.”“Mommy…” Jerry was also scared out of his wits and looked on helplessly.“Emily take Jerry home. Don’t scare him. I will stay here with Anya.”“Okay, Mr. Helsen.”Jerry also started crying. “Mommy, don’t try. Don’t be sad.”Hearing that, I comforted him. “Jerry, be good. Go back with Emily first. I will stay
Tina’s POV:Hearing Evan’s words, I had a sigh of relief.It seemed like I had won the bet.As expected, he did feel guilty about it. In other words, there was still hope for me to marry into Carter's family.“Evan, don’t pity me. I know you are pitting me. I’m not clean anymore. I don’t deserve you anymore. Please, just let me die. I really don’t want to live anymore…”Saying that I tried to bang my head against the wall.Howard and Evan hugged me tightly and comforted me.“What are you talking about? Everyone is heartbroken, that’s something like this happened. You have been stronger and braver. It’s easy to die, but its take more courage to live. For me, your parents, you have to stay alive!”Hearing those words, I cried even harder and looked like I was devastated.“Evan, I despise myself, even if you don’t despise me. I can&rs
Jerry’s POV:As soon as Emily brought me back home, Ora came over.“Jerry you’re back!” She asked with concern.“Yes, I am back! Where is Jason?”“Mommy asked Maria to send Jason to V city!”“Oh…”“Are you alright?”“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” I forced a smile.When I saw my mommy crying so badly just now, I knew that she must be upset.However, I was still young and didn’t know how to protect my mommy. I could only be more obedient and try not to make her worried.“Where is mommy? Why didn’t she come with you?” she asked.“Oh, Mommy with Mr. Helsen.”Hearing that Ora stopped asking.Anya’s POV:About an hour later, under Kester’s comfort, I my emotions gradually calmed down.“I’ll send you back!”“Okay.
Employee’s POV:“Oh my God, look Mr. Walter has cut ties with Miss Walter.”“Why is that?”“I don’t know. I heard that it becomes Miss Walter always hooked up with Mr. Carter, which angered Mr. Walter!”“What a mess this rich family is in! Since Miss Walter and Mr. Carter are divorced, why do they have to get involved with each other?”“That’s right! They are family. Why must they make it such a disgrace?”“If you ask me, none of them are good people. They are all responsible for it!”“However, the fact that Mr. Walter is so determined to serve his father-daughter, relationship with Miss Walter showed that Miss Walter has indeed broken Mr. Water’s heart.”“That’s right, Miss Walter has already announced that she would kick Mr. Walter out of the board of directors. How ruthless this is.”“No
Anya’s POV:After all, I had built a factory in M City and had already invested a lot of money. It was also because I had the Wind group and the Beta groups ordered that I was more confident.But now the two companies had canceled 80% of their orders, the factory in X city alone could do it, and there was no need to build a factory in M city at all.“How did this happen?”“They said that there were too many negative impacts from the Walter Group. They were afraid that we won’t be able to rush through out the supply. Therefore, they canceled 80% of the order and continue to cooperate with the Carter Group!”Hearing this my heart skipped a beat, and I weekly fell onto the chair.Needless to say, it was Evan who was behind this.If he didn’t put pressure on the Wind group and the Beta group, they would not be willing to bear the penalty of canceling the Walter group's orders.It had to be
Anya’s POV:Hearing that, I was so angry that the pain shot through my heart, and my hand holding the phone was trembling.“Evan Carter, can you not be like this?”“Then, what do you want me to do?” Evan’s nasal voice was very heavy, as he sounded amorous.“I need to meet you.”“Give me a reason why should I meet you?”“I just need to meet you. There is no other reason.”Evan said playfully, “Perhaps, I can consider meeting you if you change the word ‘need’ to ‘want’!”I exhaled and suppressed my anger, “I want to see you!”“How much do you want it? Hmm?”His voice carried a hint of teasing, and his teasing was extremely infuriating.I could no longer suppress my anger and scolded, “Are you crazy?”“Yeah, what a clever girl! You even know that I’m crazy.”My patience has completely worn out. “Are you going to meet me or not? If not, then forget it.”“Is this the attitude of a person wanting to meet another? Who knows I might agree to meet you if you ask me in a nicer and gentle tone.”
Evan’s POV:Anya took a deep breath. It was as though her eyes were shooting flames as she pleaded. “Can you not suppress the Walter Group covertly?”“What are you saying? We are all businessman here, so there is no such a thing as suppression! Besides, you said, did yourself. It’s the client’s freedom to choose who they want to work with! Therefore, you should be questioning the Wind Group or the Beta group instead, not me!”When she heard those words, she choked in anger. “Alright, fine. You win. I’m done!”After swirling the wine glass a few times, I gently took a sip of the red wine.I smiled wickedly at Anya.I have been doing business since I was 15 years old. After so many years, I had long been honed into a cunning businessman.It was simply foolish for her to think that she could go against me. She overestimated herself. I could suffocate her with just a pinch of my finger.“This red Wine is not bad. Have a taste.” I said as I passed the red wine in my hand to her.However, s
Tony’s POV:After hanging up the phone, the woman quickly discarded the phone in the trash can and hurriedly left.Sitting nearby, Tom and I looked at her with our mouths agape.I whispered, “Did you see that woman just now? She just tossed away her phone after spending $200 to make a call. This is just too extravagant.”My friend Tom nodded repeatedly, “With such lavish spending, she surely must have a lot of cash on her.”“Looks like our golden opportunity has arrived…”With these words, the two of us exchanged knowing looks.The greed on the edge of our courage, we decide to rob her.Observing she had left the overpass, we hastily got up and stealthily trailed her.Anya’s POV:I exited the overpass.It was already past ten in the morning. I presumed Evan would arrive shortly.“I can’t stay here. I need to leave now!”I was about to hail a taxi to escape from there.Unfortunately, this was a commercial district, and taxis were scarce.I tried to hail more than ten cars in a row, but
Evan’s POV:Boom!My heart almost stood still. I felt like I had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.I returned to my senses a moment later and said hoarsely, “I don’t believe you. You must be lying to me.”“Anya, you hate me, but the child is innocent. You must be lying to me, right?” I took a deep breath, unwilling to accept the fact.My parents passed away when I was young, and I had no siblings. My children were my only bloodline.I already had three children.However, when Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t experience the joy of being first time father then.I was fully prepared this time around and waited eagerly to welcome a new child into the family.Therefore, I could not accept the abortion.Anya paused momentarily before replying coldly, “I am telling the truth. The child has been aborted.”“I don’t have to lie to you. There is nothing else for you to expect!”Suddenly, there was utter silence on the other end of the phone.I could hear the so
Anya’s POV:My heart sank when I overheard the two men gossiping away.“Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your cell phone?”The two vagrants looked at me casually while looking at the phone, “No way! My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon. Moreover, what kind of person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?”I feared Evan would trace my cell phone location. Therefore, I left it behind.I would have the register with my real ID if I were to apply for a new SIM card.“Sir, I will buy you a cell phone instead.” I took a wallet from my canvas bag and retrieved $200.“I pay for your phone. You can use the money to buy new one.” I said and handed the money to the homeless man.Homeless man’s POV:I looked surprised and became speechless. I looked at the woman skeptically.It was strange that she offered $200 to buy this old phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. I was puzzled.Moreover, someone who cas
Anya’s POV:I became even more aimless after leaving X City West.The weather changed gradually, and dark clouds gathered. The wind blew strongly, cleaning the streets of pedestrians.The storm was apparently about to descend.I felt the chill and tightened my jacket.I had to find another place to stay quickly.Although I had money, I would have to register with my identity card to stay in a better hotel. The same regulation applies in ordinary home stays.It was challenging to find another homestay without an identity card.I subconsciously stopped in my tracks when an overpass passed me.Many unemployed people and vagrants gathered under the overpass. Land in the X city was scarce, and every inch was worth its weight in gold. Many could not afford the tiniest house and resorted to living under the overpass.I looked around.Many homeless people had set up mosquito nets to make independent tents. I would probably have to do the same under the overpass if I did not want to register w
Evan’s POV:Half an hour later, I arrived at the Home stay in the suburbs.I was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.“Where is she?” I asked anxiously.The Lady boss of the homestead was shocked to see many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”She quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.The public living room was occupied with surveillance.I took a look and became excited. “Yes, yes, that’s her!”In this surveillance video, Anya held a bowl of medicine and was about to drink it.At the same time, my heart sank. “What was she drinking? What was it?”“Oh, she said she had a cold, and it’s cold medicine. “The Lady boss replied.“She left this behind.” The Lady boss quickly brought over Anya’s medicine.“Mark, go and check immediately. What’s in this medicine?” I instructed.Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Carter, the formula is abortion medicine.”Boom!I staggered and almost lost my balance. My
Lady Boss’ POV:I scoffed before changing the channel with a remote control.Unexpectedly, Evan Carter also had a press conference on another channel.I switched a few channels consecutively, all of which were news about Evan Carter looking for Anya Walter.Evan booked the prime time advertising for several TV stations for this purpose.“If any of you know the whereabouts of Anya Walter, please inform me. You will be rewarded handsomely.” Evan promised.“Oh my! Evan Carter is lofty indeed to look for a missing wife on Prime TV. A rich man always gets his way with money.” I looked at the young woman subconsciously as I commented sarcastically.Only then did I realize something unusual with the young woman before me.She wore a cap and sunglasses in an ordinary outfit.However, her temperament was different from the home stays other guests. She had exquisite facial features, and her skin was delicate and translucent.To be honest, she looked a lot like Anya Walter.My heart skipped a be
Anya’s POV:I returned to the small clinic to get the medicine at the agreed time.“Doctor, is the medicine ready?” I asked.The doctor nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it is ready for collection.”“I concocted some medicine that’s less harmful to the body and has milder medical effects.”The doctor was alone in the small clinic. There were no nurses. He handed the medicine to me.I looked and saw a dozen black-brown medicinal bags in the plastic carrier. “How do you take it?”“It’s a traditional medicine ready for consumption. Take a packet every morning, noon, and night for three consecutive days. The fetus will turn into blood and discharge through your vagina.” The doctor instructed carefully.My brows knotted, and I vaguely felt my abdomen twitch, as if the fetus inside me sensed danger and protested silently.“Okay, how much is it?”“400 dollars.”I frowned again. Then I took out $400 from my wallet.The fee was indeed a little expensive.A reputable hospital would have cost less t
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
