Zoe's POV

My consciousness remained hazy as I heard the doctor shout excitedly nearby.

"It's a miracle! The patient is showing signs of waking up!"

After three hours of emergency treatment, I slowly opened my eyes.

I heard Jayden shouting outside the door. "Zoe, let me in. I want to see you! Let me take a look at you!"

I suddenly felt completely drained.

I looked at the doctor beside me. "I don't want to see him. Please don't let him in."

From that day on, Jayden lingered outside my door,

    Zoe's POVJayden opened his mouth in shock, but no words came out.I pressed the call button and had security throw him out of my room.…The next day, I discharged myself from the hospital.Just as I was about to leave with my things, Jayden suddenly appeared and grabbed my arm."Where are you taking me?" I demanded.He said nothing and took me all the way to the psychiatric hospital.He opened the door to a patient's room, and there was a sickening stench in the air.Mindy, who had once looked so polished, was curled up in a corner.Jayden spoke quietly, "I didn't realize how cruel Mindy had been to you until I watched the security footage. I wanted to tear her apart."He looked calm, but his eyes were filled with hatred.When Mindy saw us come in, she crawled over on all fours and clung to Jayden's leg."Jayden, please get me out of here. I can't take it anymore," she pleaded. "What can I do to make you forgive me?"She was covered in cuts and scars, and she no longer

Please don't let him in."From that day on, Jayden lingered outside my door, watching me through the window. I pretended not to see him. I didn't want to speak to him anymore.Then, I heard a heated argument outside the door."Mindy, it's your fault Zoe turned out like this. You kept feeding me lies!" Jayden shouted. "Do you know what it feels like to be electrocuted? I'll let you find out today!"Jayden called the doctors from the psychiatric hospital and had them restrain Mindy's hands and feet.Mindy struggled violently, her voice hoarse from sobbing. "Zoe's the

    Third-Person POVWhen Jayden stumbled back to the psychiatric hospital, the operating room lights were still on.The doctor walked out of the operating room with a grim look on his face."The patient's vital signs are extremely weak, and most of her kidney function is gone. As her family, you'll need to prepare for the worst."Jayden took a step back, and a tear slipped down his cheek."How is that possible? She was fine earlier."Just moments ago, Zoe still had the strength to argue with him and yell at him.But in the blink of an eye, she was lying in an operating room, and her life hung in the balance.Jayden looked dazed. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Doctor, why did she lose so much blood? It was everywhere."The doctor sighed helplessly. "That's because Ms. Statton miscarried. The fetus was less than three months old."After saying that, the doctor immediately returned to the operating room.Jayden was left standing there, unable to move.The baby they

    Third-Person POVThe treatment bed was covered in blood, but Zoe was nowhere to be seen."Where… Where is she?" Jayden asked.A wave of cold dread washed over him.As the medical staff gathered up the bloodstained sheets, one of them said sadly, "Ms. Statton just tried to end her life through electrocution."Jayden froze in shock.He was about to ask more when Mindy scoffed beside him."I didn't know she was that good at acting," she said. "I was only trying to break her drama queen habit, and she pulls this fake suicide stunt again. She even got people to play along with her."Hearing this, Jayden hesitated for a moment before he slowly relaxed. After all, Zoe had threatened to kill herself so many times.Every time, it left him on edge, and there had been many moments when he wondered if he was depressed too.At the thought of it, he shook his head, trying to shake off the tension."Forget it. I don't want to blame her either," he said. "Maybe this kind of electroshock the

    Zoe's POVWhen I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed in a psychiatric hospital. All four of my limbs were strapped down, and I couldn't move at all.Panic hit me at once."Why am I tied down?" I yelled.Jayden's voice came from the glass observation room in front of me. "Zoe, what you did earlier was far too dangerous. The doctor recommended electroshock therapy. It might cure you right away."My blood boiled."I'm not crazy! My body won't be able to take that!As soon as I said that, Mindy appeared beside my bed in a white coat. She was holding the remote for the electroshock device."If I say you're mentally ill, then you are. Jayden and I have been close for years. Of course he believes me," she said. "He even believed me when I told him the blood on you was your period blood."Only then did I realize that there was a little life growing inside me, one neither Jayden nor I had known about.I looked down at my abdomen, tears welling in my eyes."Don't give me that

    Zoe's POVJust then, Mindy called out to Jayden from outside the door, cutting me off."We're having a class reunion tomorrow. Mindy specifically invited you. It might help with your depression, and I'll go with you," Jayden hurriedly interrupted, planted a quick kiss on my forehead, and went after Mindy without hesitation.…The next day, Jayden came back to pick me up as promised, giving me no choice in the matter.When we reached the private dining room, Mindy boldly slammed a glass of liquor down in front of me."Let's have a drink and put what happened yesterday behind us.""Just drink it." Jayden pushed the glass toward me. "Mindy is sincerely apologizing to you. Don't make things difficult for her."I didn't take it. I just stared at him in disbelief.I remembered how I had an allergic reaction to alcohol at our wedding and had to be rushed to the hospital that same night.Jayden had been wearing his scuffed and torn suit, sobbing uncontrollably, "I didn't know you wer
