“Dear, I did all of this because I love you. I just want to be with you. Please forgive me this time. I swear it won’t happen again, Ingrid said

Hansel’s expression remained cold as he watched her desperate attempt to make amends. His eyes were filled with frost. “Do you not realize your action is a criminal offense?

“Don’t use love as an excuse. You hurt the people I care about most. Is this how you show your love? In the end, everything you’ve done is just for yourself.

“Let’s break up. From now on, stay out of my life. I want nothing to do with you.”

Ingrid reached out to grab his sleeve, but Hansel narrowed his eyes. “I won’t repeat myself. Since you saved me before, I’m letting you go this time. But don’t think you’ll always be so lucky.”

With that, he got into his car and drove off.

She tried to chase after him but felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen after a few steps. Her health was generally good, and she rarely had cramps. She suspected it was stress–related, especially since her period was already over two weeks late.

Suddenly, she felt something wet between her legs. Watching the car disappear in the distance, she decided to head to the hospital.

At the emergency room, the doctor asked a few questions and ordered some routine tests.

Half an hour later, Ingrid was still trying to process what she had heard as she held the test results. “You mean I’m… pregnant?”

As she clutched the test results, Ingrid’s confusion turned into determination. It was like she had found a new sense of purpose, and her eyes brightened.

Since she was pregnant, she hoped Hansel might reconsider and not end things for their child’s sake.

With that thought in mind, she hurriedly hailed a taxi to the mansion. Since the keypad lock hadn’t been changed, she used her fingerprint to unlock the door. With a beep, the door opened.

Hansel was still fuming. He was angry that Ingrid had played him for a fool.

When he got the documents, he suspected Sam was behind it. But the thought of Sam mocking him made his anger even worse

When he heard the door open Hansel snapped, “Martha, I told you I’m not eating-

She felt a strong urge to back down but found her courage when she touched the test results in her bag.” Dear, I’m pregnant. I just had a checkup, and I’m almost two months along. You’re going to be a father

soon-”

“Get rid of it.”

Ingrid was stunned. “What… what did you

say?

Hansel, with one hand in his pocket, impatiently repeated, “I said get rid of it. Didn’t you hear me?”

He pulled out a card and threw it on the floor. “Here’s three million dollars. Take it. Our relationship is over. From now on, we’re done.”
