Alana sat on a white sofa, wearing a loose beige-colored dress that concealed her bulging bump. She was still beautiful, but her face clearly showed exhaustion, and her eyes were swollen from frequent crying.A few inches from Alana sat Richard. His face was blank, emotionless, like a statue forced to sit there because it had no other choice.He wanted nothing more than to get away. At that moment, every second of sitting next to Alana felt like feeding his own pride. But he still remembered his final conversation with his father, Mr. Summers."If you don't accompany Alana to her prenatal check-up and neglect the child in her womb, forget you're my son!" the elder Summers had shouted, trembling with rage. "You won't amount to anything if I disown you! What you did is a massive disgrace, so own up to it until the very end!"Richard had no choice. The company he had worked hard to run and his luxuries could all slip away from him if he failed to carry his responsibility. He was forced t

Dr. Harrison closed her eyes tightly and slowly raised her hand to stop the young woman from persisting in apologizing. Then, the doctor rested both elbows on her desk and turned her serious gaze directly to Richard."Mr. Summers," the doctor began formally.Richard didn't move, but he was clearly irritated by the doctor addressing him by name. "Yes, Doctor?""I don't care what kind of personal issues or marital problems you two have outside this room," the doctor said directly and unflinchingly. "However, inside this clinic, my patient and the child in her womb are my only priorities. And as the doctor handling this case, I cannot accept that kind of treatment toward an expectant mother who is at high risk for complications."Richard's expression darkened slightly. "You're just a doctor. You're not in a position to lecture me about my personal life.""I may not be in a position regarding your personal life, but I have an obligation to protect the life of this child!" the doctor retor

It took nearly an hour to drive from the hospital to Rue’s home. He carefully helped Rory out of the car, making sure not to bump her left arm, which was encased in the white cast."Slowly," Rue murmured gently as he held onto Rory's elbow.As soon as they stepped inside Rue’s unit, Rue handed her a pair of soft slippers and seated her on the living room sofa."Sit right there," Rue ordered with a serious look on his face. "Don't you dare stand up until I tell you to. I'm just going to grab some warm water and a towel so I can clean you up."Rory blinked as she watched Rue walk toward the kitchen. She rolled her eyes slightly."Hey, Mr. President," Rory called out when she saw Rue walking back. "I'm not an invalid, you know? Only my arm has a cast, not my legs. I can walk by myself.""Just shut up and obey, Wife," Rue replied as he knelt down in front of the sofa to carefully slip the slippers onto Rory's feet. "You talk too much. If you want that arm of yours to heal fast, learn to l

Rory stared at Rue’s back, feeling an even deeper ache for them. Weighed down by the heavy emotion, Rue stood up and sat beside Rory. Noticing that the young woman's eyes were slightly red and her fingers were trembling as she stared at the engagement ring, he let out a deep breath. He assumed she was overwhelmed by his sudden decision regarding the wedding. "Hey," Rue called out softly, softening his tone. He took Rory’s uninjured hand and gently stroked her fingers. "If you're overwhelmed by how fast things are moving, I understand. I'm not saying you have to find all of this easy." Rory raised her gaze to meet Rue's eyes. She could clearly see the sincerity and the rare tenderness on the Rue's face. ‘If only you knew, Rue...’ Rory thought. ‘If only you knew that the real reason your father is in such a rush is that his illness is slowly consuming him, you wouldn't think the worst of him.’ "It's not just that I'm overwhelmed, Rue..." Rory said slowly, her voice broken and soft a

Amanda angrily adjusted her clothes as she stood outside the bathroom. A few minutes later, Alana appeared. Her hair was still damp, her eyes were red from crying, and she was wearing a thin nightgown her mother had given her previously.Seeing her daughter, the anger on Amanda’s face slowly melted away, replaced by a cold yet triumphant smile. She walked over to Alana and gently stroked her damp hair."That's right, Alana," Amanda said tenderly, though a hint of harshness still lingered in her voice. "Listen to me. I'm your mother. Everything I do is for your future and that child's. If you just sit there and let Richard stay cold toward you, where will we end up when he decides to just toss you away?""Mom..." Alana's voice trembled as she wiped her cheek. "I'm scared. What if Richard gets furious when he finds out what we did?""Richard won't find out anything!" Amanda cut in firmly, grabbing her daughter by both shoulders. "I'll handle everything. All you have to do is follow what
