The moment the front door opened, Juna’s steps felt incredibly fragile. The comforting scent of home immediately engulfed him, yet instead of feeling at ease, guilt tightened even more around his throat. Before he could walk farther into the living room, a small figure suddenly threw herself into his arms.

    The distinctive smell of disinfectant and sedatives mingled heavily in the silent corridor on the third floor of the central hospital. The atmosphere in front of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) door felt incredibly tense, far colder than on the previous nights. The hands of the large wall clock mounted above the door moved slowly, as though deliberately prolonging the emotional torment being endured by every member of the Ashford family.Calvin stood stiffly against the pale white wall. The surgical consent form he had signed just a few hours ago still remained vivid in his mind. The hardest decision of his life had been made with violently trembling hands.The emergency surgery to remove the fetuses in order to save his wife’s life had been completed about an hour ago. However, until this very moment, the green light above the ICU room had yet to signal any good news, and Camelia still lay motionless behind the thick glass door without showing any sign of

    Time passed incredibly quickly, leaving behind the rush of days that the Ashford family endured beneath tightly suppressed tension. The wall calendar in the corner of Calvin’s study now displayed a date that made anyone who looked at it feel their heartbeat leap into their throat.Only one week remained until Daven and Joye’s official wedding at the main building.All the major preparations had been completed. The luxurious invitations had been sent out, the final stage of the decorations was being handled by the vendors, and a flurry of false happiness had filled the days inside the grand residence. However, behind the faint smile that was always forced onto her lips, Camelia’s body was actually screaming beneath a burden that exceeded the biological limits of a middle-aged woman’s endurance.That day, the wall clock had just pointed to four in the afternoon. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the curtains of the master bedroom window, illu

    The soft rustling of the cashmere shawl as it shifted sounded strikingly out of place amid the silence of the Ashford family room. The dim yellow glow from the crystal chandelier cast long shadows across the white marble floor, while the air inside the room suddenly felt incredibly dense, as though filled with thousands of invisible needles ready to pierce at any moment.Juna narrowed his sharp eyes, observing his younger sister’s every movement as she stood upright before him. As her biological older brother who had spent decades by Camelia’s side, the middle-aged man’s instincts were not easily deceived. He sensed something strange hidden behind the perfect smile that had been forcibly etched onto his sister’s lips.“Wait a moment, Camelia,” Juna’s baritone voice broke the silence with an investigative tone. The man stepped closer by two paces, staring intently at his younger sister’s pale face, which she was trying to conceal beneath a thin layer of ma

    The lavish wedding celebration held at the Grand Ballroom of the Sapphire Hotel finally came to an end as the clock moved toward nine in the evening. The enormous crystal lights were slowly dimmed, leaving behind the remnants of grandeur that had now given way to silence inside the main Ashford residence. The servants bustled about, cleaning up the remaining equipment, while most of the family members gathered in the family room on the main floor to rest after being battered by a storm of emotions and physical exhaustion throughout the day.In the corner of the room, warm chandelier lights cast a golden glow across the thick wool carpet. The atmosphere in the family room felt far calmer than on previous days, yet remnants of psychological tension still lingered in the eyes of everyone sitting there.Aurora sat with her arms folded on the long sofa, her eyes gazing sadly toward the door of the master bedroom, where her mother had just entered to freshen up

    As morning approached the weekend, golden sunlight streamed through the massive glass walls of the Grand Ballroom at the Sapphire Hotel, located in the heart of the city. The magnificent hall, as vast as a basketball court, had been transformed into a modern fairytale land. Thousands of stems of white roses, pale blue hydrangeas, and cascading Swarovski crystal lights hung magnificently from the high ceiling, reflecting dazzling luxurious glimmers that captivated anyone who looked at them. The fragrance of expensive perfume mingled with the scent of fresh flowers, filling every inch of the air inside the room.In a corner of the room near the main stage, the decoration workers were busy tidying up the final details. In the bride's dressing room on the western side, the atmosphere felt much warmer, though it was enveloped in extraordinary busyness.Joye stood before a large mirror framed with golden carvings. The girl was wearing a flowing white wedding gown ma

    The hands of the wall clock in the main hall of the Ashford residence had just struck midnight. The atmosphere inside the grand house should have been immersed in deep silence, but a small commotion suddenly shattered the tranquility on the second floor.Inside the master bedroom, Camelia, who only a few hours earlier had firmly rejected Dr. Hendra’s medical recommendation, now awoke with cold sweat dampening her temples. The middle-aged woman groaned softly, clutching the sleeve of her husband’s pajamas as he slept beside her.Calvin immediately jolted awake within seconds. The middle-aged man sat upright, his eyes staring at his wife in panic. “Camelia? What’s wrong? What hurts? Are you having stomach cramps? Do you want me to wake Dr. Hendra up right now?!” The barrage of panicked questions spilled from Calvin’s lips without hesitation.Camelia weakly shook her head, her lips forming a small pout with a pleading expression that was completely
