Seated with a digital tablet before him, Raymond Johnson was in the middle of picking out a birthday present for Tracy Lambert's 23rd birthday.When he heard Melanie Strickland speak, he didn't even look up as he said, "The house I'm giving Trace isn't worth that much. Even after factoring in the real estate agent's commission, the total is under 700 thousand dollars."As for Northshore's Villa No. 1, which is under your name, it's in the best spot in Bell City, so it's not like you're losing out on anything. I still care about you the most, Melanie."While he spoke nonchalantly, Melanie's eyes were on the verge of welling up with tears.Raymond hadn't lied. Over the course of their seven-year marriage, Raymond had indeed treated her well.When Tracy was given a monthly allowance of 100 thousand dollars, Melanie would have ten million dollars in her account without fail.And after giving Tracy jewelry worth over a million dollars, Raymond had won bids on an antique emerald ring w

Right when the call ended, Melanie arrived at the hospital. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Bethany's attending doctor rushing toward the hospital room.Her heart skipped a beat. She hurried after him.Arnold Hicks, the director of the hospital, grabbed her arm upon seeing her, looking visibly distressed. "Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Johnson has just issued an order forbidding any hospital under Johnson Group from treating your mother."If you can't get him to change his mind within an hour, we'll have no choice but to remove your mother from the hospital.""What?"Melanie went pale instantly. She tried calling Raymond at once, but the call went unanswered. Her messages were also left unread.With nothing else she could do, she left with a bitter smile, hurrying over to Raymond and Tracy's new little home. She hadn't even stepped inside when the sound of laughter reached her ears."Raymond, are you sure that'll work? What if Melanie takes her mother to a different hosp

The next day, Melanie went to the embassy to apply for a visa.At 7:00 pm, she arrived at Johnson Manor right on time. It was a grand birthday celebration, attended by all the renowned families in their social circle.The Strickland family used to be one of them.Back then, Laura had often said, "Out of all the ladies in Bell City, only Melanie is worthy of our Raymond. When she marries into our family, I'll treat her like my own daughter."But when the Strickland family went bankrupt, it was also Laura who, at Morris' funeral, flung a check for 100 thousand dollars at Melanie's face and told her to leave Raymond, warning her not to ruin his bright future.Collecting her emotions, Melanie entered Johnson Manor.As soon as she stepped inside, she felt mocking, disdainful, and amused gazes on her.At the center of the crowd, Laura was chatting warmly with the guests while holding Tracy's hand. "That's right. This is Raymond's beloved Tracy Lambert. She's three months along."A gu

When Melanie came to for the second time, she was lying in the ICU.The doctor examined her wounds, looking relieved. "That piece of metal missed your femoral artery by a hair. You're really lucky. If you'd been brought here a minute later, forget your leg, you might not have made it."Melanie managed a weak smile, but her mind was still replaying what she'd heard when she was in a semi-conscious state a while ago."The patient's lost a lot of blood. Why hasn't there been blood from the blood bank yet?""Don't even get me started. Mr. Johnson's girlfriend complained of stomach pain, so he ordered the entire blood bank locked. All the blood had to be reserved for his girlfriend, just in case.""That's insane! If we can't get blood from the hospital's blood bank, what happens to this patient?""She's on her own."So Raymond really did want her dead.Perhaps she was in so much pain that even her heart had gone numb, because Melanie couldn't shed a single tear at this moment.At l

Raymond didn't get a response after speaking.He glanced around the hospital room before heading toward the bathroom. "Melanie, are you there? I came to apologize. I went too far yesterday. I shouldn't have abandoned you for Trace."Please don't be mad at me. I have time tomorrow. Let's get remarried."As he stared at the tightly shut door, a trace of helplessness crossed his eyes as he smiled. "Melanie, I know you're still mad at me. I was wrong."I shouldn't have gotten Trace pregnant, and I shouldn't have made you suffer so much because of her. I've had someone keep Mom's room clean this whole time. Come on. I'll go with you to bring her back."Still, there was no response. Raymond frowned, his tone growing sharper. "That's enough, Melanie. If you keep this up, I'll take back everything I just said. Melanie?"Raymond knocked on the door. "Melanie? If you don't speak up, I'm going to come in."He knocked again. "Melanie, I'm really—""Mr. Johnson? Didn't Mrs. Johnson already
