Even though Serena hated Eliza, pregnancy was a life–or–death matter for any woman. Seeing how bad the situation was, she felt anxious the whole way to the hospital.
“Eliza, just hang in there. We’re almost at the hospital,” Serena called out.
All she got back were Eliza’s agonized screams. Serena felt a pang of sympathy, but looking at how much blood she was losing, this pregnancy was probably over.
They got her to the hospital, and an hour later, the doctor came out of the operating room shaking his head at both of them. “I’m sorry. The patient is out of danger now, but she lost too much blood. We couldn’t save the baby.”
At least Eliza was okay. That was the best outcome they could hope for. Serena let out a relieved breath and glanced over at Victor. He’d been in a daze ever since they got to the hospital, like he still hadn’t processed what had just happened.
Serena had always known he was weak, so she wasn’t about to waste time feeling disappointed for Eliza. She just said “Good luck with everything” and left the hospital, exhausted.
Victor finally snapped out of it and walked into the hospital room. Eliza was awake, lying there pale as a ghost. The moment she saw him, she didn’t say a word–just broke down sobbing.
“I’m sorry, I never thought…” Victor said, but there was no point in apologizing now. He sat down beside the bed and took her hand. Looking at her broken state, he finally accepted his fate and let out a bitter laugh.
“We can have another baby, Ellie. Let’s get married,” Vi
sighed.
Hearing Victor’s promise, Eliza finally stopped crying and broke into a smile. The moment he hugged her, her lips curved upward and something strange flashed in her eyes.
‘Finally get Victor wrapped around my finger. Losing this baby wasn’t such a bad thing after all, Besides, keeping it would’ve been a problem anyway, Eliza thought casually. After all, the child in her belly wasn’t even Victor’s.
Meanwhile, Serena walked out of the hospital without rushing to catch a cab home. She felt a bit dâzed. Seeing Eliza in such a miserable state didn’t make her feel good at all–it just seemed tragic.
They’d sacrificed a life that was about to come into this world.
Victor feel guilty when he wakes up in the middle of the night?‘ Serena wondered.

A cold wind blew past, and Serena suddenly noticed a shadow following her at a distance. Her heart jumped and she became alert, instinctively picking up her pace. The person behind her seemed to realize she’d noticed and started walking faster too.
Everything around her was dead quiet. It was already past midnight, and there wasn’t a single person on the street. Serena’s back was trembling as she tried to stay calm.
When the person behind her realized he’d been spotted, he spoke up in a dark voice, “You killed my child, and now you think you can just walk away?” ‘What? What child?‘ Serena thought, confused. Before she could fully process what he meant, everything went black and she was knocked unconscious
