The word “baby” that came from Eron’s mouth struck my chest like a shard of ice. Instinctively, I covered my stomach with both hands, which was twisting painfully.

“D-don’t touch my baby...” I whispered hoarsely, my eyes burning with tears of fear gathering at the corners. I kept as much distance from him as I could.

Seeing my fear, Eron grinned in satisfaction. But before he could reach for me again, the sound of the emergency exit door opening made him panic.

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   160. A Dangerous Bargain

    The word “baby” that came from Eron’s mouth struck my chest like a shard of ice. Instinctively, I covered my stomach with both hands, which was twisting painfully.“D-don’t touch my baby...” I whispered hoarsely, my eyes burning with tears of fear gathering at the corners. I kept as much distance from him as I could.Seeing my fear, Eron grinned in satisfaction. But before he could reach for me again, the sound of the emergency exit door opening made him panic.The door to the stairwell opened slightly, followed by the echo of approaching footsteps. Realizing someone was coming, Eron hurriedly put his cap back on. The grin vanished from his face, replaced by a flash of wariness.Without warning, he grabbed my hand. My body was pulled against his as he whispered directly into my ear, his breath hot against my skin.“Think carefully, Anna. You don’t have much time before Santoso makes his move first,” he whispered sharply, the words cutting straight through my thoughts. “You know my num

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   159. His Deadly Ultimatum

    Eron forcibly dragged me down the deserted hallway leading to the emergency staircase. The moment the heavy metal door slammed shut behind us, he released his grip. The echo of footsteps and the hum of the hospital's air-conditioning seemed to disappear, replaced by the ragged sound of my own breathing.“What the hell are you doing?” I snapped. My chest heaved as fear and panic surged through me, making my head spin.The cap Eron had been wearing had fallen off. He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched me clutch the hem of my clothes tightly in my trembling hands.A faint smile tugged at his lips.“You look like you're about to pass out, Anna,” he said coldly. “Is your condition really that bad, huh?” he sneered.“Shut up!”He chuckled. Eron pushed himself away from the wall and stepped toward me.I instinctively backed away until my back hit the concrete wall behind me.Eron planted both hands against the wall, trapping me between his arms. He tilted

    “Dylan has arranged for some highly qualified doctors to take care of you. Before you came, he even called me and asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” Vallen explained beside me. But every word went in one ear and out the other.I wasn't really listening.I walked slowly, gripping the strap of my crossbody bag. My thoughts weren't on today's examination at all, but on Dylan and Eron, who was waiting for me in the parking lot.“During your first trimester, you…” Vallen's words trailed off. I turned to him and saw him raise an eyebrow.“Why have you been so quiet? Is something wrong? Or have you changed your mind?” he asked.I pressed my lips together and forced a faint smile. I shook my head weakly, but Vallen clearly wasn't convinced. He turned toward me and placed both hands on my shoulders.“Tell me, what's going on?” he asked pointedly.His gaze was so intense that I had to look away. But instead, my eyes met someone else's.Eron. Had he really dared to come inside the hospi

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   157. Unexpected Driver

    The sunlight filtering through the gap in the curtains forced my eyes open. Slowly, I sat up, my head feeling heavy from crying all night.For a moment, I stared at the bed I had slept in, as well as the blanket wrapped around me. I fell silent as I remembered what had happened last night.My gaze fell toward the door. Had I fallen asleep there last night and Dylan carried me to bed? The thought of him doing that quietly made my chest feel warm.My thoughts were interrupted when I turned to the nightstand and saw a glass of milk and breakfast waiting for me, along with a small note.I smiled faintly, then pulled the note from beneath the glass and read the message.“I had to carry you to bed last night. I hope you slept well. Have some breakfast, then think about what your twenty-ninth wish will be,” Dylan had written, ending the note with a smiling emoticon.I immediately got out of bed, rubbing my still-flat stomach. Dylan's words continued to echo in my mind like a broken record, re

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   156. If Fate Won’t Let Me Stay

    I said nothing after hearing Dylan’s words. My mouth suddenly went dry. For several seconds, we simply stared at each other, as if the world had come to a standstill.Silence.The only sounds were the footsteps of the servants moving back and forth, the clinking of cutlery being arranged on the table, and the faint hiss of food cooking in the kitchen. Those sounds filled the space between us until Dylan finally stepped closer and cupped my face in both hands.“I’m serious,” Dylan whispered.My mind went blank.Lea’s name, everything she had said minutes ago, even the argument we’d just had—all of it seemed to disappear from my mind. There was only Dylan and the words that still hung between us.Dylan gently brushed his thumb across my cheek. My vision blurred, and a single tear finally slipped down my face.I never expected Dylan to say something like that. From the moment we made that agreement, I had known that I would be the one to leave him in the end. Because to me, it wouldn’t b

    ANNADylan immediately stepped in front of me, blocking Lea from doing anything worse. The throbbing pain in my head still lingered from the forceful way Lea had yanked my hair.“Something that was supposed to be yours?” Dylan sneered coldly. Without hesitation, he pointed at Lea’s flushed face. “If you mean her father’s inheritance, don’t expect to get any of it. You’re not Rean McCalaway’s biological daughter.”Lea let out a derisive laugh. She casually folded her arms across her chest before glancing at me. “This is none of your business, Dylan. This is between Anna and me.”“Oh?” Dylan stepped toward Lea and leaned down slightly. “Anything involving my wife is my business too.”Lea suddenly burst out laughing. She shoved Dylan in the chest to force him back. “Wife?” she mocked. “A few months ago, no... a few years ago, you never even considered Anna your wife. If you need a reminder, you always saw Anna as nothing more than a parasite clinging to your family.”I gasped. My chest s

    "I'm fine, Father. I bumped my nose earlier," I lied.Fortunately, my father-in-law believed me without much question.Abraham glanced at the unmade bed behind me. His gaze softened.

    "Vallen, just pretend you never saw any of this," I said calmly."Damn it, Anna, what do you mean? How am I supposed to stay quiet after seeing something this unfair?

    For nearly half the day, I lay in bed, curled up as I stared blankly through the open window. My body felt hot, and I was utterly exhausted even though I hadn't done anything physically demanding.Fortunately, Jessy wasn't home. She was probably working at her boutique.
