Outside the procedure room, Ashton paced endlessly. Lucy and Sarah sat in the waiting chairs, their faces filled with anxiety. Every minute felt like an hour. Every sound from inside the room made their hearts pound violently. Ashton blamed himself. If only he had not lost his memory, if only he had been by Avery’s side during the past two months, perhaps none of this would have happened.After what felt like an eternity, Doctor Harris emerged from the procedure room. His face looked serious, and there was even a hint of despair there.“Doctor! How is Avery? How is our baby?” Ashton immediately approached, his voice hoarse and filled with fear.Doctor Harris let out a long breath. “Miss Avery is stable for now. We managed to stop the contractions. However…” The doctor paused, looking at Ashton with a gaze that implied bad news. “The fetal heartbeat is weak, Mr. Knight. And based on the ultrasound examination, the fetus is not developing as it should. We detected signs of severe intrau

Ashton stood frozen beside Avery’s bed, holding a tablet in his left hand while his right hand still clasped her fingers that felt cold.A short message had just arrived on his device, a brief report from his vice president director stating that Skynet Global had suddenly terminated a cooperation contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Ashton’s jaw hardened. His eyes narrowed, radiating a cold aura he usually reserved only for his business enemies. Within seconds, his expression transformed into that of a predator sniffing out the scent of betrayal. However, the short breath beside him brought him back to his senses.Avery looked at him with weary yet inquisitive eyes. On her still pale face was an intelligence that could not be deceived by any mask."Ashton?" Avery called softly. "Is something wrong?"Ashton immediately turned off his tablet screen. He forced a faint smile, trying to soften the sharpness in his gaze. "It’s nothing, Baby. Just some office documents I need to r

Ashton sat behind his large work desk, staring at rows of green numbers that continued climbing on the monitor screen. Investors had once again placed their trust in him, and the storm once sent by Skynet Global was now slowly turning into a calm wind that instead strengthened his company’s bargaining position.The large teak door of the room opened slowly. Lucy stepped inside with graceful strides, though a faint exhaustion lingered behind the lines of her eyes. She let out a long breath as she sat in the leather chair in front of her son."Ashton," Lucy called softly, drawing Ashton’s attention away from the screen. "Earlier your nana called me."Ashton scoffed coldly. His lips curled into a sharp, cynical smile. "Why is she calling again? Isn’t it clear that I’m not accepting any calls from her?""She was begging. Her voice sounded very desperate, very different from usual," Lucy explained while massaging her forehead. "She asked me to persuade you to withdraw the lawsuit and help

The night in Avery’s hospital room felt calm, yet inside her mind, a new story was being carved. Avery fell asleep, and in her slumber, she was welcomed by a dream so vivid, so beautiful, that she felt as though time itself had stopped turning.She stood in a vast flower garden, surrounded by fragrant white lilies. The sky was bright blue without a single cloud, and the air felt so gentle against her skin. In the middle of the garden, a very handsome little baby was playing. His hair was jet black, his eyes round and clear, and his lips curved into a sweet smile. The baby wore pure white clothes, and his tiny hands reached toward Avery.“Mama...” the baby whispered, his voice small and innocent, yet so clear in Avery’s ears.Avery felt overwhelming happiness flood her heart. She immediately approached, lifting the baby into her arms. The familiar scent of a baby filled her senses, and the warmth of that tiny body felt incredibly real. She kissed the baby’s forehead repeatedly, unwilli
