Chapter 5
I struggled to get up, but Lucas took a sharp turn, throwing me back down.
He arrived at his destination in under ten minutes.
He was in such a hurry to get out of the car, and when I tried to get out too, he kicked
me back inside.
He silently locked the car door and coldly spat out, “Why are you crying? Do you
even know how pitiful and helpless Ava is?”
“Stay here and wait. I still have to take Ava to the hospital for a full check–up!”
Desperate, I frantically tried to unlock the door, but he had already disappeared.
When he left, he didn’t give me a chance to take my phone with me.
Now, I had to save myself.
As I tried to figure out my next move, I noticed something wedged in the gap of the
back seat–a piece of intimate clothing, the source of that strange smell.
Another wave of pain shot through my lower abdomen, but I forced myself to endure
it, thinking about the child I had struggled so hard to conceive.
I found a briefcase on the side, grabbed a laptop, and began smashing it against the
car window in desperation.
After managing to break the window and dragging my blood–soaked legs out of the
car, I found someone to help me call an ambulance.
Just then, Lucas emerged, carrying a sobbing Ava in his arms.

When he saw the shattered window and heard the car alarm blaring, he roared like
an enraged beast.
“Damn it! You witch! All you had to do was wait for two minutes, but you just had to
pick a fight with me!”
“Disgusting! You got period blood all over my car. I’m throwing it out tomorrow!”
I almost laughed. How could he think that was period blood?
That was our child, a living, breathing life.
I held on until the ambulance arrived, just as Lucas drove away with Ava.
In the haze of pain, my vision blurred, and I felt tears silently streaming down my
face.
He held Ava’s hand to his lips, gently biting it in a way that was both playful and
tender.
There was a time when that affection was meant for me.
Now, it belonged to another woman.
I couldn’t bear the heartache any longer, so I closed my eyes, heavy with exhaustion.
When I woke up, a familiar doctor entered the room, his expression grave as he
spoke.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Evans. You were unconscious last night, and we couldn’t reach your
husband…”
“We did everything we could, but your baby didn’t make it. Please try not to be too

sad. You still have a chance to conceive again if you take care of yourself.”
The nurse beside him, who had known me since I started trying for a baby, couldn’t
hide her anger. She let out a sharp scoff as she revealed the truth.
“Dr. Wright, why are you covering for that scumbag? No wonder they say all men
stick together!”
“Couldn’t reach him? Please. He was busy taking care of his mistress, in bed no less!”
“And he didn’t even believe that Eva was pregnant. He accused us of conspiring to
trick him into coming home!”
“If I hadn’t recorded it, no one would have believed what a despicable person he is!”
