He's not worth your love.

The world was a vast expanse of white, empty and void of anything. Anna drifted through this white world, haunted by the echoes of many voices:

"Anna, you're just a pet in Davis family, favored by Grandpa and Mrs. Davis!"

"An orphan like you, with unknown parents dreaming of marrying Gerald? keep dreaming!"

"Even if you marry Gerald, what difference does it make? As long as I'm here, he'll never accept you!"

...

"Anna, uncle Taylor and Auntie Rain are dead, Migi is missing. Are you happy now? You wanted to marry me, fine, stay in the Davis family forever to atone!"

...

"Wah... Mommy, Mommy..."

The cacophony of voices suffocated Anna, especially the child's cries that twisted her heart with pain, threatening to bury her in despair.

"Baby!" she shouted, snapping her eyes open, only to meet a pair of cold eyes.

Gerald was there, a ficker of emotion crossing his eyes before he quickly masked it.

"Anna, you're finally awake. The doctor said if we had brought you in an hour later, you wouldn't have woken up..." a familiar female voice reached her ears.

Anna turned her gaze to see Nebula, her eyes red from tears, sitting by her bedside.

Her best friend from the orphanage.

"Nebula... " Anna tried to speak, but her throat felt like it was being torn apart, rendering her voiceless.

"Don't speak, Anna. I understand. Just focus on getting better. with me here, no one will dare bully you," Nebula said fiercely, glaring at Gerald before turning back to Anna with tear.

Anna's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Gerald. In just two days, his chin had grown a shadow of stubble.

was it him who brought her back from the cemetery?

It was so painful and cold there. The night was too dark, and she had nowhere to hide, wishing desperately for Gerald to come for her.

Thankfully, he did...

Feeling Anna's silent gaze, Gerald's emotions churned. He opened his mouth, "Anna, the doctor said...'

But before he could finish, Nebula interrupted.

"Mr. Gerald!" Nebula's tone was sharp, "As Anna's..."

Your husband has hurt you so much, he doesn't deserve to be here! please leave, I'll talk to Anna myself," Nebula said firmly.

Gerald's face was tense as he looked at Anna's pale, helpless face. Something stirred inside him, and he pressed his lips together, standing up and leaving the hospital room without a word.

Anna looked at Nebula, confused, silently asking what had happened.

Nebula clenched her fists, wiped her tears, and gently said to Anna, "Promise me, no matter what happens, you'll be okay."

Anna hesitated, sensing something bad, but she forced a smile and nodded at Nebula.

Seeing her like this made Nebula's heart ache even more. It was better for Anna to hear it from her than from someone else.

Taking a deep breath, Nebula continued, "Anna, you spent the whole night in the rain yesterday. You lost a lot of blood. The doctor said you can't have children anymore."

Anna's smile froze. she thought of the dream where a child's voice called her "Mommy," and it felt like her heart was being shattered.

Nebula cried as she spoke, "The cold got into your body, and from now on, you will have back pain whenever you're cold. This damage... It can't be healed, Anna, you're only twenty-five. Gerald is heartless."

"Anna, you probably thought it was Gerald who took you from the cemetery yesterday, but it wasn't him. It was me. Gerald was at the 'Nightshade' bar until this morning. I had to drag him here."

Anna's tears fell like rain, So Gerald really didn't care if she died in that cemetery?

Even if he didn't love her, they grew up together! it wasn't just Migi who was there for him! Did he hate her that much?

'Anna, I know you've loved Gerald for years, but he's not worth it".

"You're still young. You've lost too much on Gerald. You shouldn't hang yourself on the tree..."

Anna clenched her fist tightly.

If it weren't for Nebula, She would have died there, she and her child, both gone!

Yet she still hoped Gerald would come and take her home!

She was so foolish, so foolish!

Anna could no longer hold back her tears. she opened her mouth, but no sound came out, only silent sobs of "ah, ah."

It hurt so much!

The pain felt like it was going to consume her.

In unbearable pain, Anna could do nothing but pound the bed with all her might, her movements frantic and uncoordinated. The needle in her hand, still attached to the IV, caused blood to seep from the puncture, but she couldn't feel the pain in her hand.

"Anna, don't do this. You still have me, and Raymond will be back soon. You have us!" Nebula cried, holding her tightly, her own tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Ah..." Anna couldn't make a sound, her fists hitting the bed repeatedly. Her throat was raw and aching, but it was nothing compared to the agony in her heart.
