That was also why Hannah had finally let go of that particular hope

I was a hard story. Parents died when she was five. Foster care. Then adopted by the Windsor family.

on paper, nothing matched. But like her mother, the moment she saw Elara, she felt a strange, deep sense of familiarity.

Athena picked up the family portrait, her finger tracing over little Mei’s face. An unexpected ache pricked at the back of her nose.

Where are you, little one? Where did you go?

Vhile Saxon remained quiet and Elara buried herself in work, someone else was reaching their breaking point.

Amelia listened to the voice on the phone, nearly hurling her cell across the room. “You’re telling me Elara’s clinical trial has zero problems??”

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!” She hissed through gritted teeth. “Didn’t you swap the data yourself? Or did you just screw it up?”

Caius was just as confused. “I did swap it. I don’t know what’s happening, but they haven’t had any issues.”

le and Amelia had both assumed Elara’s team was suppressing bad news.

Who could have guessed…. there simply was no bad news.

heir progress was impossibly smooth.

So the worst–case scenario…” Amelia’s voice dropped to a venomous whisper, her mind racing through the implications of a successful trial she’d tried and ailed to sabotage.

melia made a guess. “So the worst case is… the drug they’re testing in their clinical trial is the same one we’re testing, right?”

verything is on track with her R&D team. It’s just that the results are… rather underwhelming.

he’d been hiding this from the Windsor matriarch, not reporting it. Her plan was to wait until Elara’s side had a major disaster, then report both at once. That vay, the success might offset the failure.

Who would have thought that bitch Elara had an ace up her sleeve? Caius had stolen their data, but he hadn’t managed to sabotage their actual trial.

In this point, Caius was certain. “Yes. That’s the worst–case scenario.” The data he’d stolen for Datong Medical was the latest version exported from Elara’s ersonal laptop. It had to be correct. “If something’s wrong with *that*, we’re both dead!”

melia relaxed slightly. “Keep watching. The moment anything seems off, contact me immediately.”

No more mistakes. Even if that bitch didn’t fail, she had to make sure the drug she developed never made it to market.

Otherwise, it would be a living nightmare.

he saw me, rushed over in a few quick strides. “What are you doing here? This place is famous for obstetrics and gynecology. You’re not carrying someone’s astard, are you?” The thought clearly panicked her. If this bitch was pregnant with Gavin’s or Zane’s child, securing her position. Amelia was finished

ou seem to know a lot about it. Did you do your research? Here specifically to take care of a bastard today? I frowned, a cold smile touching my lips. “I know e director of this hospital quite well. Should 1 call her? Get you a discount?”

he hospital director had attended my celebration party. I was here today because she’d invited me to share some clinical experience with the Traditional edicine department doctors.

you’re talking nonsense!” Having her dirty secret exposed, Amelia fought to suppress her panic. “I’ve been having heart palpitations lately! I just came for an

“G!”

Really?” My smile widened. “For most people, there are many causes for palpitations. For you, I only have one suggestion.”

What?”

Do fewer shitty things.”

ith that, I ignored her and walked toward my car.

melia was so angry her stomach hurt. Her phone rang. She saw the caller ID and answered. “Dr. Bennett… I’m so sorry. I made a mistake. I’m not pregnant after 1. I can’t do the procedure today.”

fter hanging up, Amelia stomped her foot repeatedly.

he doctor had only agreed not to leave a record, not to keep it completely confidential. If Elara asked that director… she could use this to ruin Amelia’s eputation completely.

he could not give that bitch any opening.

hloe was off work early today. We’d agreed to get home and have a BBQ.

Then I got back, Chloe had most of the ingredients prepped. Just some fruit to cut, plug in the electric grill, and we were good to go.

So? Am I the epitome of domestic goddess today?” The moment I put my bag down, she looked at me, fishing for praise.

gave a thumbs–up. “More than the epitome. I want to marry you.”

That could be arranged.” Chloe grinned, pulling two bottles from the wine rack. “Which one?”

I’m not picky. Whatever you like.”

he words had barely left my mouth when a sudden, faint cramp made me frown. I instinctively pressed a hand to my lower abdomen.

hloe put a random bottle on the table, concerned. “What’s wrong? Period coming?”

Probably.” But even as I said it, I wasn’t convinced. I reached over and felt my own pulse.

One touch, and my mind went blank.

What’s going on?” Seeing my expression; Chloe ventured an outrageous guess. “Girl… you’re not pregnant, are you??”
