Orian had arranged for a young female doctor for Eulalia, a 25-year-old named Sarah. With a doll-like face and her long, soft hair styled into a bun, she looked youthful and radiant. Her skin was so smooth it made you want to pinch it.Eulalia’s first impression of Sarah was that she was a cheerful, bubbly good girl. But after ten minutes of conversation, Sarah hadn’t cracked a single smile. She was surprisingly reserved.Upon learning about Eulalia’s pregnancy, Sarah said with a straight face, “Your body isn’t fit for pregnancy right now.”Eulalia looked at Orian, puzzled.“Looking at him won’t help. You know your body better than anyone. Whether it’s for the child or for you, you shouldn’t be pregnant. You should consider terminating it,” Sarah said, listing several reasons, more and clearer than Eulalia had thought of herself.“Don’t blame me for being blunt. I’m just stating the facts. It’s up to you.”Sarah was so straightforward it was almost scary.Both Orian and the previous d

Percival, heeding the doctor's advice, didn't touch Eulalia anymore. But his hand still rested on her waist, like a sated king after a feast. He patted Eulalia's cheek and said contentedly, "You were way better just now than lying on the bed motionless before. Keep it up."Eulalia smirked but didn't say anything. When she was sincere, he despised her; now that she's faking it, he actually likes it.Percival grabbed his clothes and went to take a shower. Eulalia picked up the photo album from the floor, dusted off the non-existent dust, and carefully put it back where it belonged.Percival didn't fully trust Eulalia's words. Once in the bathroom, he called Dr. Kruso.The doctor answered, sounding puzzled, "Mr. Dunraven, what's the matter at this late hour?""Can I share a room with Eulalia?""Has your wife's period ended?" Dr. Kruso asked.Percival's eyes darkened, "It should be over."After a moment of silence, the doctor said, "She is still on medication for her cold constitution. It

This was nothing like what Evadne had expected. She was getting anxious, wondering why Percival hadn't returned yet. At the same time, she wished she could just shove Eulalia down the stairs.Pregnant women are fragile; a fall could lead to severe bleeding, maybe even two deaths.This malicious thought grew heavier in her heart.Just then, the sound of a car engine pulling up outside broke the silence. Eulalia looked puzzled. "Why is Percival back so early today?"If he's back, she wouldn't be able to visit the orphanage. A sense of loss filled her, along with a creeping unease.But she was quick to accept reality. Just as she was about to turn back to her room, ignoring Evadne, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.Eulalia turned to see Evadne glaring at her, her eyes as dark as a venomous snake's."Evadne, what's your deal?" Eulalia had been burned by Evadne before. Despite her timid appearance, who knows what schemes she's cooking up?Whenever they got close, it was never good news. Norm

Eulalia could barely speak, her eyes half-closed. After catching her breath, she started to cough softly. Each cough sent a sharp pain through her abdomen, making her realize what it meant to be "in agony, as if cut by a knife."Blood choked in her throat before spurting out. The crimson liquid mixed with her tears, rolling down her jaw and staining her collar.Percival's eyes stung at the sight of the blood on Eulalia's face. He floored the gas pedal, driving recklessly forward. A terrible premonition rose in his heart, making him shudder at the mere thought. He felt like he'd lost something irreplaceable.Halfway to their destination, Percival saw an ambulance approaching. He immediately pulled over. The ambulance stopped, and several paramedics rushed out with a stretcher, transferring Eulalia for emergency treatment.Inside the villa, chaos reigned. Blood stains marred the staircase. Evadne sat on the living room sofa, a cold smirk curling her lips."The bastard in Eulalia's belly

Sarah wasn't exaggerating or bluffing; she had seen Eulalia's medical records before aand had even performed surgery on her this time. No one knew Eulalia's condition better than she did.Percival's face changed instantly, his hand trembling, his throat bobbing."Is her uterus still there?" he asked.Sarah furrowed her brows, puzzled. Outside of her work, she was usually slow to react. She looked at Percival, clearly not understanding what he meant."It's still there," she answered honestly."Then why can't she get pregnant? As long as the uterus is there, she should be able to conceive with some care," he argued.Sarah's expression tightened, and she took a deep breath. "Do you even know what her health is like? If she gets pregnant, she's likely to have a miscarriage. Do you have any idea how damaging that is to a woman's body?"Even if Eulalia's stomach cancer was cured, her poor health would linger, causing her extreme pain and shortening her lifespan.Percival retorted, "It's dam
