They entered the hotel together, but Vanessa went into her room alone.

Adrian and Julian were downstairs. The former was smoking, while the latter frowned, stepping back a couple of paces, fearing Adrian's smoke might cling to him – it wouldn't be good for the baby.

    They entered the hotel together, but Vanessa went into her room alone.Adrian and Julian were downstairs. The former was smoking, while the latter frowned, stepping back a couple of paces, fearing Adrian's smoke might cling to him – it wouldn't be good for the baby."Spill it, what exactly happened?" Adrian exhaled a cloud of smoke. "You hit Vanessa?""I hit her?"To get help, Vanessa was truly desperate, resorting to frantic measures – even thinking of seeking help from Adrian, going so far as to fabricate such a lie.Julian raised his hand, the back of which still bore several scratches. "She's pregnant. No matter how much of a bastard I am, I wouldn't hit her at a time like this. As long as she doesn't cause a scene, I'll let her have her way with everything.""You've hit her before, though.""That time, she intentionally provoked me."Julian had been foolish, falling into her trap. "It won't happen again."After saying this.Suddenly remembering something, Julian's demeanor relaxe

    The car sped down the highway, pushing its limits.Adrian drove like a madman, the lights outside blurring into streaks. Finding a specific car on this road was incredibly difficult, but even with a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he couldn't give up.Evelyn was right.Vanessa was his sister.He had misunderstood her before, and now that he had a chance to make amends, he absolutely had to compensate her properly.His phone screen lit up with a new message. It was from Vanessa, sending Julian's license plate number.Adrian scanned every passing vehicle.To give him time to catch up, Vanessa had dragged out their journey, feigning morning sickness and an inability to endure the bumpy ride. Julian's concern was genuine; he held her, offered water, and helped her calm her breathing."Let's pull over ahead, wait for Vanessa to feel better, then we'll continue."Keith glanced in the rearview mirror.Vanessa leaned against Julian, already frail, she looked utterly lifeless when unwell, barely c

    The car was ready, but Vanessa wouldn't leave her room.Jerry went to the front desk for a spare room card and swiped the door open. Julian didn't go in. He merely raised his chin, his expression unreadable, and said, "Go call Keith. Have him bring Vanessa down.""Mr. Frost, is that really appropriate?"Julian's eyes sharpened to daggers. "What, are you feeling sorry for her too?""No, Mr. Frost…""Go get Keith."Vanessa refused to leave, but Julian had countless ways to make her.Keith entered reluctantly, a band-aid on a fresh wound on his face, limping slightly. As he stood before Vanessa, it was as if Julian was telling her: if she wouldn't leave, there were plenty of others to suffer in her stead.She met Keith's gaze. He said nothing, yet Vanessa rose immediately. She put on her coat, her lips pale and dry, and walked out like a soul-less shell. Jerry opened the rear car door. Julian was already seated on the other

    Her whole body was clammy with cold sweat. A cool breeze swept through, chilling her to the bone and drying the sweat from her skin.Vanessa's throat was raw, her mouth unable to form words. Tears welled in her eyes but refused to fall. Facing Julian, only fear remained, eclipsing even her hatred. What he had done was tantamount to a death sentence for Vanessa."Don't look at me like that." Julian was equally incensed. One step later, and the child would have been gone; he couldn't even bear to imagine such an outcome. "I'm just trying to protect my own child. There's nothing wrong with that.""The child is in my belly. I decide what happens to it!"Finding her voice, Vanessa's rebuttal was explosive. "You have no right to dictate whether I give birth to this child! If you want a child so badly, why don't you have your wife give birth to one for you?"She was drained of strength, the anesthesia having just worn off, and she'd just endured a crushin

    Uncertain whether Evelyn's accident was real or fake, Vanessa tried calling Adrian, but the line wouldn't connect.It was almost her turn for the surgery.This child absolutely had to be removed.Turning off her phone, Vanessa waited patiently, unaware that several hospitals in the vicinity were being searched. Keith, gasping for breath, found the building downstairs and rushed upstairs without a moment's hesitation. The last time he failed to find Vanessa, she had suffered such severe injuries. This time, he would find her even if it cost him his life.He rode the elevator to the upper floors, searched the corridor, and finding no one, he ran to the nurse's station. "Excuse me, is there a Miss Brooks scheduled for surgery today?""This involves patient privacy. Who are you to the patient?"At a time like this, Keith couldn't care about formalities. "I'm her husband. We had a fight, and she came here for surgery behind my back. Please, just

    The night was pitch black, and Vanessa returned very late.Fortunately, Evelyn wasn't waiting for her downstairs. After taking her medicine upstairs, Vanessa booked a flight, planning to have the surgery elsewhere to keep it a secret from everyone. At this moment, this was her only option.This incident had hit her hard.Her body was already fragile, and the doctor had warned that the surgery was risky, potentially causing lifelong damage if anything went wrong.Vanessa didn't care. She wouldn't keep anything related to Julian near her.The ticket was bought; she'd leave at dawn. She didn't plan to say goodbye to Evelyn, only leaving a message that she'd be gone for a few days.Before the sky brightened, Vanessa headed to the airport, oblivious to the car following her.Keith followed her to the airport and called Jerry to report the situation."To the airport? Did you see where exactly she was going?""Not too far, with

    Slamming the bedroom door shut, Vanessa rushed into the bathroom and collapsed onto the icy cold tiles. She dry-heaved twice, her stomach churning as if something was twisting inside, her internal organs clenching in sympathetic spasms.After the dry heaving, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, her thr

    The kiss in the car stretched on, the moonlight streaming through the window to fall on Vanessa, frosting her hair with silver.Julian kissed her, unable to tear himself away, his grip sliding from her palms to her shoulders. He wanted to embrace Vanessa, to hold her slender body, their skin exchan

    The evening breeze had lost its chill. Vanessa, with her delicate constitution, couldn't handle the wind. She emerged wrapped in a shawl, her slender frame like a wisp of paper, her steps faltering in the breeze as she practically stumbled to Julian's car, frantically pounding on the window.Only t

    The wounds on his face and palm needed daily medication. The nanny was busy, so Stacey took the medicine box and half-sat beside Julian, gently holding his palm, dipping a cotton swab into the medicine, and dabbing it on little by little.Julian seemed oblivious to the pain.Whether Stacey pressed
