Daniel empleatzed the words "Do have the heart heavily tears even fell from his sunken eyes.

He said, Ariana, I still like you very quch, and I feel quite sorry for

My hand instinctively covered my bimmy I did not know what the things inside me should be regarded as it was an unexpected life that had arrived silently

At that moment, my desire to bring this child into the world had reached its peak Even if the whole world did not know of its existence, I would still love the child

Fremembered what the doctor told me after today's check-up. He said my overall health was fine, just that my progesterone was low But the doctor prescribed me medication.

I swore to myself, "If my baby comes into this world safely, I'll set off the most spectacular fireworks to celebrate your arrival.

Logically speaking, you're both still young. With proper treatment, there's still a chance you could get pregnant. But He stiffly turned his arm left and right Staring straight ahead, he seemed helpless. My health doesn't allow me to wait any longer

I had not planned on letting myself be hurt when I came here, bul ended up being hurt twice it caught me off guard

Facing Daniel like this, I did not even have th loudly. All the negative emotions circled in finally released, they had already died down.

"You don't need to tell me this. If Nicholas wants to do IVF with Jasmine, I can't control or stop it.

"Don't you understand your own son?" I smiled helplessly. "You're not the one who needs to apologize for this."

My husband was the one who had never chosen me without any hesitation. Why should others apologize in his place? And how could he think that other people's apologies could atone for him?

"Ha ha. I understand my son too well. For the sake of my health, he's agreed to do IVF with Jasmine. But Nicholas is just putting on an a6f with her."

That was a lot to take in. I remained silent.

"IVF has its chances, but if it keeps failing after several attempts, I'll be gone by then."

"Why... why doesn't he agree to do it?"

My face remained calm, but my heart was thumping hard Gould I be the reason why Nicholas would not do IVF with Jasmine? Did Nicholas want me to have his child?

My hand tightened on my tummy. I could hear my heart beating rapidly. Could my child's father be looking forward to their arrival as well?

I saw a trace of discomfort on Daniel's face. "He's too fixated on the concept of a complete family. He would never divorce you

Daniel's words sent a chill through me. Is this really for Nicholas's good, or is it for your safish desire to continue the family line?

"You say Nicholas is obsessed with having a complete family, but instead of helping him protect his family, you're asking me to divorce him? Arent you afraid of hurting his feelings again?" chuckled and all You de

promise that you will never have to worry about money, even if you spend money like water for the rest of your life. That way, I will also do night by your dead parents"

He talked about family, love, and responsibility as though they were products waiting for a price tag to be attached to them. Perhaps capitalists like him would always think that everyone was replaceable and that money could turn anything around. At that moment, Daniel was a father lying on his deathbed. He was spending his last breath planning for his son's future

He was taking advantage of the situation when he demanded that I divorce Nicholas. The guy was going all out and didn't care if I hated

if I were to agree to his terms, then my marriage and my future with Nicholas would be the fruit of someone else's malicious

decades at that moment. The dust in the air was so thick that i couldn't breathe.

"You love my son?" said Daniel in disdain. "If that is true, then you should think about his situation.

I hesitated. After that, I tilted my gaze down and replied, "I don't love him anymore."

When I uttered those words, it felt as though I had truly let everything go. It was just like how a drama series written for television would unfold. The mean mother-in-law would give the company president's girlfriend a fortune to break up with him. The only difference between those shows and my reality was that the person chasing me away was my father-in-law. His tone wasn't mean or anything either. That was just how reality worked.

People who grew up in rich families were always especially graceful. They had been wealthy their entire lives, so they wouldn't panic or lose their footing under any circumstances. Hence, even though Daniel didn't have much time left, he remained calm.

I thought it wasn't immoral to take the money and leave. Perhaps letting Nicolas make his own choices and have the marriage he fought for was a form of kindness.

I felt emptiness and lifelessness ooze out of my gaze when I shifted it slowly to look at Daniel. After that, I smiled and asked, "How much will you pay me?"

Frances had devoted half of her lifeand exhausted herself both physically and mentally for the Hawk family's sake. Yet, she and her daughter were both still so expendable to Daniel

It seemed that true love truly was worthless in a family like that

When I came, my entire body felt as heavy as lead, but it was completely light when I left. It seemed that letting go truly was the best medicine to save myself.

Unfortunately, I didn't expect that when I opened the door to the room, I would see a tall figure leaning against the walll

The black suit, those black pants, and those black leather shoes that were so polished that they were shining...

My organs felt as though they were being mushed together in that instant. It was the kind of pain that was akin to PMS. It couldn't kill me, but it tortured me so much that I wished I were dead.
