'Even if the world collapses or we are reincarnated, you are always my beloved wife—Stefan Byrne.'
The X City, a coastal metropolis, was still a comfortable place with no burning heat in June.
However, the changeable weather still annoyed everyone living here. No matter how often the sea wind breezed, it still failed to send people pleasant coolness.
At dusk, Emmeline Campbell was sitting on the balcony outside the study on the second floor while touching her bulging belly.
'Babe, you will be born twenty days later. Mommy loves you more than everyone else in the world.' She murmured to herself.
Perhaps the baby was the only shelter from which she could feel warm. She narrowed her eyes and started to meditate. Suddenly, the phone placed on the desk rang. She opened her eyes and took a glimpse at it.
She slowly stood up and grabbed the phone—it was a video sent by her sister, Anayah Campbell.
She had been used to Anayah's annoying messages, the content of which mostly were texts or videos.
She covered her belly and clicked the video out of instinct.
However, she saw a man and a woman, both naked, were clinging to each other on the bed in the video.
"Stefan, slow down!" Anayah moaned coquettishly.
Though it was just a three-minute video, both of them were indulging themselves into crazy orgy.
Obviously, Emmeline could tell from the video that her husband actually had an affair with her sister aboveboard. She couldn't help laughing ridiculously.
She slowly turned around and still covered her round belly with both hands. She was trembling all over, feeble. When she was about to take a step forward, she suddenly stumbled over the thick carpet.
She felt a sharp pain down her belly when she hit the ground hard. She felt so painful that she couldn't even maintain her breath. She wanted to struggle to stand up. However, her eyes were blurred with tears.
She finally managed to pick herself up while holding back the sharp pain. However, something warm started to stream down her legs from her crotch. The sharp pain and desperation knocked her out before she could call for help.
Finally, the door was opened. When seeing her faint away, the servant screamed, "Mrs. Stefan! Mrs. Stefan, wake up!"
While there was still mere consciousness remaining, Emmeline only heard Paul, the butler, was shouting, "The baby is about to be born! Call Master Stefan right now!"
Then the siren of ambulance sounded around her ears.
When she opened her eyes again, she could tell from the white ceiling that she was in the hospital.
'Where is my baby?'
She slowly turned around and wanted to sit up straight. Then she saw a nurse hanging an infusion bag for her.
The nurse smiled when she noticed that Emmeline woke up, "Mrs. Stefan, you are awake."
Emmeline moved her lips and wanted to say something. However, her throat was so thirsty that she couldn't even utter a word.
The nurse immediately served her a glass of water from the table beside, "Mrs. Stefan, what do you want to say?"
"My baby…" Emmeline still felt hard to utter.
The nurse wanted to reply but she held it back. After hanging the infusion bag, she looked at her with great sympathy, "Mrs. Stefan, just have a rest and take care of yourself. You can press on the ring button if there is anything you need."
When the nurse turned around and was about to leave, Emmeline grabbed her arms and shouted with her hoarse voice, "Where is my baby? Take it to me!"
"Mrs. Stefan…I am so sorry…Your baby has gone!" The nurse lowered her head and answered.
"What?" Emmeline was rendered desperate!
"Mrs. Stefan, I am so sorry…Your premature baby died of hypoxia as soon as he was born." The nurse burst into tears.
