Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The Woman Behind Aetheris

Rose didn’t sleep well that night.

In her dreams, she relived the scene from the year they first got married, when she and Ryan were taking their wedding photos.

Ryan was a minimalist; he didn’t care much for so-called formalities. They hadn’t held a wedding ceremony, but Margaret, realizing she was at fault, had taken the initiative and insisted that Ryan pose for wedding photos with Rose.

Once he agreed to something, he followed through.

No matter what the photographer asked of him, he raised no objections.

Whether it was wrapping an arm around her waist, gently caressing her cheek, or...

The photographer said, “Mr. Knight, could you kiss the bride?”

She had been young back then, and facing the man she loved, her heart had inevitably raced.

She had expected him to refuse.

After all, their relationship had been nothing more than polite and formal.

But Ryan nodded calmly.

He bent down and tilted his head with practiced ease, searching for her lips.

He didn’t like closing his eyes. Instead, he stared intently at her flushed face as she held her breath, stiff with nervousness.

He raised an eyebrow casually.

“Rose, I’m your husband. We’re going to spend the rest of our lives together. What are you so shy about?”

A lifetime...

Human promises are, after all, worthless.

Feelings cannot withstand scrutiny or trials.

Rose opened her eyes with a start.

The corners of her eyes were damp.

Yet her expression was utterly calm and clear.

Thankfully.

She had been the one to take the initiative to end those seven years of folly.

Burning those once-cherished pillars of her spirit with her own hands, declaring herself a stranger to Ryan—that had been her most resolute decision.

Calmly, she raised a hand and wiped away the faint trace of moisture.

She reached for the phone on the nightstand.

Opening WhatsApp, she found Ryan’s contact and, without a moment’s hesitation, tapped Block.

Then she opened her contacts and blocked his phone number as well.

She had completely severed him from her life.

She sat up and went to wash up.

Today, she planned to visit her mother.

Her mother, who had remained unconscious ever since that car accident years ago.

She sat quietly beside the hospital bed for a long time.

In truth, she felt deeply depressed.

But she had nowhere to vent those emotions.

It was as if simply sitting there in silence allowed her to catch her breath.

Yet she didn’t have much time to sort through her feelings.

There was a Smart Healthcare Expo today, and she needed to attend it with Caleb.

In an era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, the healthcare industry had become one of the most competitive frontiers of innovation.

Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and medical device manufacturers were all racing to stay ahead.

The landscape of modern medicine was evolving faster than ever, and breakthroughs that once took decades could now happen in just a few years.

Rose wanted to be part of that change.

Morning arrived.

Rose and Caleb entered the exhibition hall together.

As she stepped inside, she couldn’t help marveling at how quickly the world was advancing.

“It’s never too late to come back,” Caleb said. “A genius like you will adapt faster than anyone.”

A trace of envy crept into his voice.

Anyone standing beside someone like Rose could easily feel overshadowed.

Rose, however, wasn’t nearly as confident.

The medical and pharmaceutical industries were filled with brilliant minds. No matter how talented she was, staying grounded was always the wiser choice.

“Come take a look,” Caleb said, gesturing toward one of the exhibition areas. “The rehabilitation exoskeleton system your research team developed at Columbia is being showcased over there.”

“The exhibits here represent some of the biggest medical and technological breakthroughs of the past few years,” he continued. “Many of them are already changing the future of healthcare.”

Rose nodded.

She decided to explore the exhibition on her own.

Before long, she spotted the rehabilitation exoskeleton on display.

It was a device she had personally designed to help restore mobility and independence to patients suffering from paralysis and severe spinal cord injuries.

She had long since sold the patent, and mass production had given countless patients a chance to reclaim their lives.

That was why she had named it New Life.

New Life.

She hoped it would help patients and their families move beyond despair and embrace a new beginning.

Standing before the machine she had once created, Rose felt a surge of emotion.

This was the very first prototype she had built with her own hands.

After years of collaboration with leading biomedical engineers and medical researchers, the design had been refined into the model that would eventually change so many lives.

Back then, she had only recently gotten married.

Researchers from the National Center for Biomedical Innovation had approached her more than once, offering her a place among the institute’s youngest principal investigators.

Many people believed she was destined to become one of the leading figures in modern medicine.

She had originally intended to balance both family and career.

But for some reason, she never received an acceptance letter.

Coupled with the Knight family’s strict expectations for their daughter-in-law, the matter gradually faded away.

Looking back now...

Being so blinded by love really deserved to be torn apart.

Only after being burned and shattered into a thousand pieces had she finally come to her senses.

Filled with nostalgia, her hand gently brushed against the robot’s frame.

“What are you doing? Have some sense!”
