"Alright then," Millie replied.Stefan had gotten injured because of her, and besides, she had promised to visit too. And since Stefan had personally asked, she decided to stay a little longer.Meanwhile outside, everything had quieted down. Millie assumed that Wanda had already left and thought nothing of it. But two hours later, when she stepped out, she was surprised to find Wanda still there.For once, Wanda seemed to know her place. Knowing that she had no status or title now, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum.If this were in the past, she would have already stirred up quite a scene at the hospital.Wanda shot Millie a venomous look, like a snake poised to strike. She looked as though she wanted nothing more than to sink her fangs into Millie and deliver a deadly dose of poison.Not long ago, Wanda still looked in the pink of health. But now, she was visibly thinner. No matter how good the supplements were, consuming so much of them would only end up wearing her body dow

At that moment, Samantha felt a searing pain in her abdomen. It was so painful that her face paled dramatically, and cold sweat drenched her body."Stefan… Stefan…" Samantha called out for help.Since she was already at the hospital, the medical staff quickly rushed over. A group of onlookers surrounded her too. She frantically scanned the faces around her, but Stefan was nowhere to be seen."It hurts…" She could feel something hot gushing down her legs."Why won't the bleeding stop?" one of the medical staff frantically asked."I have… a blood coagulation… disorder…" Samantha summoned all her remaining strength and managed to utter those words before losing consciousness completely."This is bad! What's her blood type? Where are her family members? Do they know about this?"It was then that Stefan finally arrived. Without hesitation, he provided Samantha's blood type so that the doctors could begin treatment immediately. The doctors immediately made it clear that the baby c

Pierce saw Stefan standing alone outside the operating room with the doors wide open.A feeling of doom crept into his heart."Where is she?" His emotions surged uncontrollably as he grabbed Stefan by the collar."She's inside," Stefan said.The moment Pierce heard that, he strode toward the room. But just as he reached the doorway, Stefan spoke again, saying, "She's already dead."As his words fell, Pierce's steps froze, and his entire body started shaking.Not too far away, Millie heard Stefan's words too. Her chest tightened upon learning of Samantha's departure. They had rushed over as fast as they could. Yet, they still hadn't made it in time.Pierce moved forward with heavy steps.Inside the room, Samantha had already been tidied up. The blood-soaked sheets had been changed, and she was now dressed in her favorite outfit. Ironically, Pierce himself had bought that outfit for her. After she married Stefan, she took it with her and held on to it dearly.As Pierce looked

Stefan repeated, "You will never have children in this lifetime.""T-Then why did you give me so many fertility supplements? Why did you still sleep with me after you married Samantha? Why—"Wanda's lips trembled violently. She couldn't believe it and desperately searched for any reason to deny the truth. She needed to convince herself that Stefan had to have some feelings for her—even just a little bit. She refused to believe that he had manipulated her all along. It was impossible!Stefan smirked, but the smile never reached his eyes. Instead, it was icy and devoid of any warmth. "I gave you hope so that you'd believe that having a child would secure your place as Mrs. Leach. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone all out against Samantha. "You were both pawns, but you thought you were so clever.""That's not possible!" Wanda wailed in denial.Stefan went on, "I did love you once, but you destroyed every last bit of that love. Since you don't want my love, then try my hatred inst

Stefan felt a wave of emotion as he stepped forward to check the young woman's injury. He then fetched the first aid kit and carefully bandaged her wound.When the alcohol touched her cut, she sucked in a sharp breath, wincing from the sting."I'll be more careful," he said, his voice instinctively softening. It was as if he was afraid of startling her.Once he had finished, he finally asked, "What's your name?""Edith Zeller," the woman nervously answered, reciting her name like a rehearsed line."And do you know who I am?""Mr. Hudson told me everything. You're Stefan Leach, the CEO of Leach Group and my benefactor.""How do you plan to repay me?"Edith replied earnestly, "I-I'll do anything you want, Mr. Leach. I can bear you a child. If you don't think I'm worthy enough for that, then I can just stay with you for a few months. I dare not hope for anything else."You gave me so much money and never asked for anything in return. I… I'd feel guilty if I don't do anything for
