Chapter 4

Author: Yogurt Monster
Doctors from the emergency room rushed over after hearing what had happened.

The moment they saw me lying on the gurney, covered in blood and barely breathing, one of them stepped forward quickly.

"Mr. Cobb, the patient is suffering from severe hemorrhaging. The baby has no vital signs. We need to start emergency treatment immediately."

Eugene frowned, his voice growing more impatient.

"The doctor already told me the blood and the baby's coloring are fake." His eyes flickered suspiciously. "Did she pay you, too?"

The doctor's face flushed with anger. "I've never taken a bribe in my life. We should call the police!"

Eugene let out a cold laugh. "Alright, alright. Listen to me first. Go take care of Fiona's baby. Give him a proper bath and make sure both mother and child are looked after. Nothing can go wrong with them."

"Mr. Cobb!"

The doctor stomped his foot in frustration.

"The patient's condition is extremely critical. She's experiencing massive internal bleeding, and her throat has chemical burns. If we delay any longer, she'll go into shock. The baby may not be breathing, but there's still a window to try resuscitation."

But Eugene ignored the doctor completely.

He waved his hand and ordered his people to pull the doctors and nurses away.

"Go take care of Fiona first. If anything happens over there, none of you will be able to handle the consequences."

The doctor was dragged away. Before leaving, he looked back at me with helpless regret in his eyes.

The smell of blood filled the hallway. It was so strong that it made people cover their noses.

One of Eugene's assistants couldn't stand it anymore.

He hesitated before speaking, "There's too much blood on Mrs. Cobb. Maybe we should let the doctor check her first…just in case this is real."

Eugene snapped his head toward him, his gaze icy. "What, did she bribe you, too? I didn't realize Rachel was that capable."

He turned and started walking away, his voice cold.

"Rachel, I never thought you'd go this far just to get attention. Using your own child like this… I'm really disappointed in you."

I tried to sit up, wanting to tell him the truth.

But all the emotion trapped in my chest turned into a mouthful of blood.

It burst from my lips and splattered across the baby's cold little face in my arms.

My vision blurred, while my body felt heavier and heavier. The dizziness from the blood loss swallowed me whole.

Just as everything was about to fade into darkness, I heard a voice beside me.

It was both familiar and aching with worry.

"Don't be scared, sweetheart. I'm here."

    Eugene didn't give up after I rejected him.If anything, he became even more desperate.He acted like a man possessed, trying every possible way to apologize.He even transferred all his assets into my name, saying I could have everything if I would just forgive him.But I couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance.Money was the one thing I no longer lacked.To me, his regret and humility looked like nothing more than a performance meant to comfort himself. The damage he caused wasn't something a few tears and a handful of apologies could erase.What broke him even more was the fact that someone new appeared in my life.Luke Powers.He was the son of one of my father's longtime friends.

    After Eugene woke up, he swore he would win me back.He waited outside the company building and outside the gates of my villa.Every day, he showed up with flowers, apologies, and endless confessions, lowering himself more than I had ever seen.But no matter how humble he acted, I never looked back.Then, my birthday arrived.That day, he was waiting outside my garage when I pulled in.Both of his hands were wrapped in thick bandages, making him look worn down and pitiful. His fingers trembled as he held out a rough silver bracelet.A crooked word was carved into it:Rachel."Rachel… You once said you wanted me to make you a piece of jewelry myself. I was always busy back then. I never had the time…"I stared at the bracelet, and all I felt was irony.Of course, I remembered.Early in my pregnancy, I had rested a hand on my stomach and teased him about it. I told him I envied women whose husbands made them bracelets by hand.It didn't have to be expensive. As long as he ma

    Eugene froze where he stood.The grip on my wrist loosened instantly.He stared at me, then at my father standing there with quiet authority. His voice trembled."Rachel… Who are you really? You told me you didn't have any family. How do you suddenly have a rich dad?"My father let out a cold laugh as he stepped into the office.The pressure in the room shifted the moment he walked in."She said that because of you. Back then, I saw through how selfish and cold you were right away. I refused to let you two be together, but Rachel cried and begged to cut ties with me just to stay with you. Do you think your company's success these past few years was because of your talent?"His voice dripped with contempt."I felt sorry for my daughter struggling out there, so I quietly used my connections to open doors for you. If I hadn't been supporting you from behind the scenes, what exactly made you think you could climb to where you are today?""What?"Eugene stumbled backward. His face

Eugene rushed in, looking exhausted.It had only been a few months, but he looked like a completely different person. His face was gaunt, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.The moment he saw me, his gaze locked onto me.He grabbed my wrist."Rachel!"His voice was hoarse, filled with the kind of relief someone feels after finding something they thought was lost forever."I finally found you. Let's go home. I want to see our baby. Even if I did something wrong, how could you disappear without a word? That was completely irresponsible!"I looked up calmly at the face I had once loved so deeply and later hated just as much. My expression stayed cold."Go

    Rachel's POVWhen I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed.My father sat beside me. His eyes were red, his face filled with worry and exhaustion. He held my cold hand tightly. It looked as if he had aged ten years overnight."Rachel… You're finally awake. I almost lost you."The doctor had told him I had suffered massive blood loss, a serious infection, and burns in my throat. The fact that I had survived at all was a miracle.My body began shaking uncontrollably."Dad… Where's my baby?"The moment I asked about the baby, my father couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down his face."Sweetheart… The baby didn't get enough oxygen during the delivery, and they missed the best chance to save him. I'm sorry. I couldn't protect my grandson.""No!"I tried to sit up.
