Natasha's POVLouis stared at me in disbelief. "What did you say?" he asked.Mom leaped to her feet. Confusion was written all across her face as she snapped, "Have you lost your mind? Why would you abort a perfectly healthy baby?"I was just about to respond when Madison suddenly started swaying on her feet. Her knees buckled, sending her crumpling to the floor."Madison!""What's going on, Maddie?"Two panicked voices resounded at the same time.Louis immediately let go of me and lunged at Madison. Mom also rushed to Madison's side and supported her with all her strength, preventing Madison from collapsing on the floor. The attention that I had briefly gotten from my abortion had once again returned to Madison.Mom anxiously offered a glass of warm water to Madison. She sounded deeply worried when she said, "Drink it slowly. Don't scare me. You're okay."Meanwhile, Louis had sunk to one knee and was holding Madison firmly in his arms. "I'll call 911.

Natasha's POVI received a new notification from my social media account the moment I hung up.Madison had uploaded a new post.

I had bought it second-hand for a few thousand dollars.The people who strode in and out of Apex Group's office building made me stick out like a sore thumb. I was just about to make my way tow

Third-Person POVPatricia's smile stiffened as a steely expression crossed her face. Madison was also staring at Louis in disbelief. She had always assumed that he would take her side, and she'd already taken it for granted that she would be joining him and Natasha on their trip to New Lochrane. She had even bought a new suitcase and clothes for the trip beforehand.A long time passed before Patricia suppressed her anger and asked, "What's gotten into you today, Louis? Did that wretch, Natasha, plant some funny ideas in your head? She's trying to drive a wedge into our family, isn't she?""Nothing of the sort is happening, Mom," Louis replied, frowning slightly. "This is my decision."He had been foolish before, but he wasn't going to make the same mistakes again.A flurry of complicated emotions raged in Louis' chest when he looked down at the fresh potatoes and chicken in the bag. He placed the bag down and said lightly, "I'll leave these ingredients for you since chicken stew

Natasha's POVI packed my belongings and moved abroad on the same afternoon that I blocked Louis.My days abroad were busy but fulfilling. I returned to the industry I was familiar with, working day in and day out. Relying on my outstanding skills and years of experience, I was promoted from a regular project supervisor to the project director of the Auria-Penso region within just a year.After personally handling several projects that were blockbuster projects, I managed to carve a place for myself in the industry once again. However, I received an order from the company's headquarters just as things were back on track, and I was about to kickstart another overseas project.The domestic headquarters had created a brand new core project that urgently needed an experienced person to lead it.
