All Chapters of MY EX REGRETS AFTER I GAVE BIRTH WITH A SYSTEM : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Push, Mrs. Sterling! Push!"Pain spread through my whole body. I held the sides of the bed so tightly that my knuckles turned white."I can't," I gasped. "Something is wrong.""You're doing well. Just one more push.""That's what you said ten minutes ago!"That morning, I had knelt at the temple and begged Lady Mercy to protect my babies. The doctor had warned me that my pregnancy was dangerous. I was carrying five babies, which meant there were five chances for something to go wrong."Please," I had whispered to the statue. "Let my babies come into this world safely."Now, my prayer was being answered in the most frightening way."Clara!" Ethan's voice came from the other side of the door. He sounded angry, not worried. "Is she giving birth yet?""Mr. Sterling, you cannot come in right now," a nurse replied."I'm her husband.""Then please wait outside.""Wait outside?" Ethan laughed in disbelief. "I don't wait for anything.""Take a deep breath, Mrs. Sterling. Push!"I screamed. Th

Aria cried softly against my shoulder. Her tiny body shook because of the cold.I pulled her blanket tighter around her.Her socks were thin, and the hospital room was freezing."I know, my princess. We're going to fix that."The nurse looked at the baby in my arms and frowned."Mrs. Sterling, you shouldn't leave the hospital today. You've lost a lot of blood.""I can't leave my daughters in this cold room.""Then let me call a doctor.""No. I'll rest when they're warm.""You're very stubborn.""I'm a mother now. Being stubborn is part of the job.""Then at least let me push you downstairs.""Thank you."The nurse sighed and began pushing my wheelchair toward the elevator."Your mother-in-law would hate you," she said."She already does.""And, Mrs. Sterling?""Yes?""Your daughters are lucky to have you."When we reached the ground floor, a taxi driver stared at the five baby seats I had asked the hospital to lend me. His eyes grew even wider when he saw the baby cycle."Lead Street

Chapter 5: The Hotel ConfrontationEthan's eyes dropped to the baby cycle, then back to my face."Clara, what did you do with the money?" he asked."I bought clothes for my daughters.""Seven hundred thousand dollars' worth of clothes?""Yes. Every dollar of it.""That card had one million dollars on it," he said. "Only three hundred thousand is left.""Then you should have been more generous," I replied. "Or should I thank you for being so careful with your money?""Don't try to be clever with me.""I'm not trying to be clever. I'm being honest. That's something you never bothered to do."Ava pulled at his sleeve."Ethan, she spent our money? Your money?""It was never our money," Ethan snapped. "It was mine."I looked at him in disbelief."Then why are you so angry? You threw it at me as if I were a stranger.""I didn't throw anything.""You tossed it onto the hospital bed. It landed right beside my daughter's hand."Mia let out a short laugh."Oh, she's enjoying this. Just look at

"Run, Host!" the system shouted. "Now!"I didn't look back. I pushed the baby cycle down the alley with both hands. Behind me, I could hear the heavy footsteps of the men chasing us."There she is!""Grab the babies!""Mrs. Sterling wants them back unharmed!""Then she should have been kinder!" I screamed.The wide street opened up in front of me. There were cars, loud horns, and a yellow taxi parked by the roadside."That one," the system said. "It's stopping."The taxi's back door opened before I reached it. The driver leaned out, his eyes wide with surprise."Lady, are those five babies?""Yes! Please, drive!""Where to?""Anywhere!""Cedar Lane, Brooklyn," the system said. "Tell him.""Cedar Lane, Brooklyn!" I shouted.I lifted my daughters two at a time and placed them on the back seat. Then I folded the baby cycle and pushed it into the trunk."Please, hurry!"The driver looked at me through the mirror and swore under his breath."Those men in black. Are they chasing you?""My m
