Seven years ago, in order to accompany the fake heiress abroad for her recovery, Timothy Gibson casually signed the divorce papers I handed him. Without even turning around, he sneered at me. "Naomi, don't use such underhanded tactics to keep me around. Esther can't live without me abroad." Seven years later, he blocked my path with his car, and he spoke to me with an air of superiority. "Grandpa is critically ill. His only dying wish is to hold his great-grandchild. "Come back with me, behave yourself, and give birth to an heir. You will still be Mrs. Gibson." I looked down at my shoes. I recalled the time I stood in the rain and begged him not to leave. I even collapsed in the rain. In the end, all it got me was a dismissive 'you're making a scene' from him. Timothy still thought my life revolved around him. He had no idea that without the title of Mrs. Gibson, I had lived very well these past seven years. The very day after he signed the divorce papers, I married someone else. Gently touching my stomach, which wasn't even showing yet, I smiled and said, "Mr. Gibson, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I am having a baby, but it isn't yours."

Ian and I arrived at the hospital.Leon lay in bed. He had become so thin he was little more than skin and bone.The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up."Naomi, you're here."I walked over and took his hand.It was cold, thin, and covered in age spots."Grandpa, I came to see you.""Sweetheart, the Gibson family wronged you. I wronged you." Tears trickled down his cheeks."Grandpa, none of this was your fault." I squeezed his hand gently."None of it."He took a shaky breath before slowly turning to face Ian.For a long time, he simply looked at him. Finally, he nodded."Good. Good. You have someone taking care of you now. That gives me peace of mind."After a pause, he added, "That useless grandson of mine doesn't deserve you."Don't forgive him. Don't look back. Go live your life."Tears slipped down my cheeks and landed on the back of his frail hand."Naomi, live well."He slowly closed his eyes.His hand was still in mine, but he no longer had the strength to squee

By the time Timothy got home, the sun was already up.Esther was sitting on the couch waiting for him. The moment she saw the injury on his hand and the redness around his eyes, panic appeared on her face.She quickly forced a smile and walked over."Timothy, you're back?"Timothy threw his phone onto the coffee table in front of her.The screen was frozen on the surveillance footage. It was the exact moment she had looked into the villa from outside."You saw her fall down the stairs. You never told me. You even deleted the footage."Esther froze for several seconds. Tears immediately streamed down her face.This time, she didn't pretend to be weak.She clenched her jaw and looked up at Timothy. Her eyes were filled with resentment and rage."Yes, I saw it. I didn't tell you. So what?"Timothy, you're the one who pushed her away and caused the miscarriage!"She stood up. There were still tears on her face, but her expression had turned sour."Now that you know the truth,

After Timothy left the hospital, he drove straight to the Gibson family estate.The butler was about to lock up when he saw Timothy's bloodshot eyes. He froze."Mr. Gibson, are you–""Pull up the security footage from seven years ago."The butler's expression changed instantly.After hesitating briefly, he lowered his head. "Mr. Gibson, that footage was deleted."Timothy froze. "Who had it deleted?"The butler stammered for several moments before finally speaking softly. "It was Ms. Esther. She was the one who told us to erase it."Timothy's pupils became constricted.He stared at the butler for a long time. Suddenly, he turned around and walked away.That same night, he hired a team of expert technicians. He delivered the estate's surveillance hard drives and ordered them to recover every deleted file they could.Timothy sat in the hallway of the tech company. One cigarette after another burned between his fingers.His hands shook so badly that he had to flick his lighter

Please don't leave.'Seven years ago, I hadn't been able to protect that baby.This time, I would do everything in my power to keep this baby safe.Thankfully, we made it to the hospital in time.
