Chapter 1

I was only sent to the hospital half an hour after Desmond White left. The doctor called Desmond a few times, but the calls were unanswered. He had no choice but to pass the cell phone to me. After waiting for a very long time for the call to get through, Desmond finally answered. “Eunice Howard, what are you doing? Since you’re at the hospital, you should just focus on getting your treatment. Stop pulling your shameful little tricks.” I was holding back my tears. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath as I tried to ease my own pain. “I’m pregnant. The doctor would need your signature to—” “Eunice, don’t you think you’re being absurd? Connie Anderson is in a state of shock, so she needs someone to accompany her. Stop being so needy!” Desmond cut me off, but he sounded so concerned about someone else. Immediately, I felt extremely tired from this relationship.Just when I was about to hang up, Desmond seemed to realize that he had been too rude. His tone softened. “I

Chapter 2

I was adopted by the Lloyd family, and they were family friends with the White family. During my first visit to the White family’s home, I fell in love with the cheerful Desmond at first sight. He was not as moody or reserved as Benjamin Lloyd. Both of our parents started to tease me when they caught me sneaking glances at Desmond. “We were joking about marrying our children in the past, but we unexpectedly had two boys. Now that we have Eunice, we may proceed with what we agreed upon back then.” “Alright.”Desmond did not reject the idea. Instead, he put his arm around my shoulders. That was how I naively developed feelings for my first love. He treated me really well too. During school days, he would arrive early at the Lloyd’s family house to pick me up. He would also bring me around to have desserts at different malls during the summer break. I slowly fell in love with him. Once I learned that he did not want to inherit his family business and wanted to be a

Desmond only rushed to see me 3 days after I was admitted to the hospital.He had just walked into my ward when Benjamin punched him in his face. I slept the other day after being comforted by Benjamin. He had asked someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the banquet hall. Even though the position I was standing in was dangerous, it should only cause some superficial wounds. However, Desmond had pushed me into danger when he was trying to save Connie. Benjamin was angered by what he saw, so he immediately wanted to confront and scold Desmond. However, he did not expect to see Desmond’s latest social media post. In the photo, Desmond was dressed in his engagement suit as he shared a Ferris wheel cabin with Connie. Desmond was kneeling before her.He was gently holding Connie’s legs as he treated her wound. It was barely a scratch—so small you’d miss it if the photo wasn’t zoomed in.The gentleness he showed her made my heart ache.However, judging from the

Doing that caused me a lot of pain. My forehead was covered in sweat, and my hair was drenched in sweat too. A hint of concern finally appeared in Desmond’s eyes when he saw my pained expression. “Eunice, it’s all my fault. Just let me take a look at your injury, alright? You can scold me or hit me all you want after you get better.”He had not been this gentle to me for a very long time. I was momentarily stunned. He used to be this anxious when I was sick in the past. And he was the one who performed my surgery.A minor appendix removal surgery would make him nervous, despite having a lot of experience. I had just been given anesthesia when his eyes welled up with tears. His hands were also trembling. After the surgery, he disregarded his colleagues and kissed me in front of them. He also cried. Due to that incident, we became the model couple in his hospital. Every single girl was envious of me. However, even though he did love me in the past, it did not change

He was not as upset as I thought he would be. Instead, he was smiling a little. What was going on?Why did he not yell at me and leave?At the same time, I heard a harsh sound as the chair scraped against the floor. I immediately shut my eyes. It was over for me. No one would protect me anymore. The next second, I felt a warm, large hand on my head. “Be good and just focus on getting better. We can discuss the rest when you’re discharged.” He must be disappointed in me. It seemed as though I was trying to take advantage of him. Instead, his words made my heart speed up. “I have waited for ten years. I don’t mind waiting for you for a bit longer as long as I still have a chance.” We smiled as we met each other’s eyes. The world had become colorful again for me. After he received my answer, he no longer had any concerns about taking care of me. Unexpectedly, Desmond came to see me again the next day. After Benjamin had taken care of my needs, he went out f

Chapter 6

“You were pregnant and you got rid of the baby?”I only felt sadness when I heard Desmond’s surprised tone. I was already feeling unwell before our engagement ceremony, and I was having morning sickness. He did not even realize that even though he was a doctor. I did not even throw away the pregnancy test kit I had used. I wanted to surprise him. From his reaction, it seemed like he had not realized those changes at all. That was no surprise. He had to stay in such a small apartment with me, even though he was rich. Of course, he had not paid attention to anything.However, he was not the only person who was upset. On the night of my birthday, I was feverish after dinner. Desire was burning in me.Coincidentally, Desmond appeared before me with flushed cheeks and professed his love for me. The next morning, when I woke up, I realized that I was in a hotel room. Of course, I knew someone had drugged me. However, I ended up with my boyfriend, so I did not look

Chapter 7

From that day onwards, Desmond no longer appeared before me. He would give me eight missed calls, voice messages, and text messages at the same time every day. Initially, he was apologizing and explaining himself. After that, he said that I was heartless. Then, he started begging. I ignored all of this, and I did not reply to him. Benjamin also personally called off the engagement on my behalf after I was discharged. However, it was not as smooth. Desmond stood on the balcony and threatened Benjamin that if the engagement was called off, he would jump off the building. His parents saw how stubborn their son was, so they were unwilling to call the engagement off. It was not until Benjamin gave them a piece of land that White Corporation wanted that Desmond’s father no longer cared if he committed suicide. Desmond saw that no one was giving in to him, so he climbed down from the balcony under Connie’s persuasion. I was angry when Benjamin told me what had happened.

Chapter 8

I froze. Had she already guessed that I was the one who leaked their conversation?Was she coming to fight with me?I was imagining all the possibilities when Benjamin hit my behind. Heat returned to my cheeks and spread to the rest of my body. “If you don’t want to see her, I’ll ask her to leave.” Benjamin looked firm. I did not know if he was teasing me a bit earlier. I walked out with my crutches in confusion to meet Connie. Her makeup did not look as good as it was before, and her eyes were tired. Was she unhappy with the love she had snatched from me? Just when I was about to confront her, she brought me to a garden. I saw Desmond dressed in the same suit he wore during our engagement ceremony. He was holding a bouquet of red roses and a document of White Corporation’s property as he walked toward me. “Eunice, I know you won’t believe anything I say, but you must know that I love you.“It’s not my intention to be with Connie. I really thought of her as a young

Chapter 9

“Desmond, I’ve helped you meet with Eunice. Now, shouldn’t we go for our engagement ceremony?” Even though Connie said that in a gentle tone, it was hard to ignore the smugness in her eyes. Desmond, who was defeated, suddenly stood up and slapped Connie. “Wretched woman! If you didn’t keep telling me that Eunice likes Benjamin, I wouldn’t have slept with you to try and make her jealous. Now, you want to marry me? Impossible…”He then kicked Connie, who was lying on the ground. Connie was dodging his attack as she threatened him. “I’m pregnant with your child. You can ignore the child and not get married to me, but can you accept the punishment Benjamin has in store for your family?” Benjamin was behind this. After a brief shock, I stared at them curiously. It was interesting to see them turning on each other. Desmond paused, and I started to retreat to the house. I finally got rid of him. If I gave him another chance to pester me, I would be insane.I had just wal

Chapter 10

Then, I found out that after I left that day, Connie’s child was affected. From then on, Desmond’s mother had instructed her to stay in the hospital to rest.The engagement ceremony that she was looking forward to was cancelled, and no one brought it up again. To avoid her, Desmond buried himself in work and surgery. Initially, he thought that he would be able to avoid Connie. Instead, the long hours had caused him to hallucinate, and it had caused him to commit medical malpractice. In just six months, the highly regarded surgeon was despised by many. His skills were doubted. He did not dare to step out of his house due to the pressure he was facing. His mother saw that Connie had ruined her son, so she went to the hospital every day to torture Connie. Connie grew resentful. She blamed it all on me. After hearing what she said, I could not help laughing. “You’re the one who wanted him, and you’re the one who’s pregnant. Why are you blaming me for that? Are you in
