Yaacob wanted to call the private doctor over immediately, but the pale Nancy held his hand and said, "I'm bleeding."Thus, he had no choice but to send Nancy to the hospital.After completing a series of examinations, the doctor told him, "Mr. Getson, your wife has an ectopic pregnancy."Yaacob refused to believe him. His throat tightened as he asked, "So?""So, we recommend performing surgery as soon as possible," the doctor told him solemnly."She had already done a few check-ups before, and all said she was fine.""It may not be detected at the beginning, because an ectopic pregnancy usually shows up as the fallopian tube rupturing after 40 days, resulting in excessive bleeding. I'm afraid we have to terminate the pregnancy. We hope you can convince your wife that the surgery must be performed as soon as possible for the sake of her own life."Yaacob did not return to the ward immediately after talking to the doctor.He went to smoke two more cigarettes. It was rare for him
Nancy took over the media company Yaacob given to her. Although she was relatively young, she had experience in managing a company as big as Getson Corporation, so she was not really that frightened. Plus, with Yaacob helping her behind the scenes, everything went smoothly when Nancy first joined the company. In fact, it went so well... that she found it quite boring.Nancy's mind and heart were not in it at all. She just wanted to take a break from staying cooped up at home and to make herself feel better. However, she discovered that as long as Yaacob was feeling unwell, she would not feel good either.One day, Nancy was just about to get off work when she suddenly received a call from the hospital."Excuse me, is this Ms. Nancy Lawson?""Yes. Speaking.""Ms. Lawson, something happened to Ms. Anna Yale, and she would like you to come see her."Anna was in the last trimester then, so it must have something to do with the baby if something happened."Which hospital is she in? I'
"Nine times out of ten, what you heard is what Kristine wanted you to hear. Most people would prefer to keep their evil plan from others, and yet she revealed her whole plan to you. So I think she must have an ulterior motive," said Nancy."What ulterior motive could she possibly have? Wait a minute… Could it be that she's going to kill Xander because they're not in it together?" said Anna hopefully. However, Nancy did not even need to say anything before she refuted the idea herself. "But Xander didn't turn her down! He must know she's Crystal's younger sister, and yet he pretended he didn't know who she was. So he did lie to me and my dad!"Nancy did not know what to say. It was not her place to speculate or meddle in Anna's family affairs. She had learned her lesson after the incident with Randall and Rowena.Unfortunately, Anna herself did not know what to do, so she kept asking Nancy, "What should I do?""You're a big girl now. You should come up with a solution yourself.""B
"You've been using me all along, haven't you? From the moment you agreed to marry me, you were actually planning on taking all of my family's fortune for yourself," said Anna."Anna, don't act like you are the victim." Xander lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him, and emphasized, "I deserve everything I have now. As for why I deserve them… Well, you should ask your dad."Anna looked at him blankly. She was mentally prepared to suffer through any consequences of a divorce, but she never expected things to end that way. She was both confused and aggrieved when she saw the hatred in Xander's eyes."I have a question. Have you never..."Halfway through her question, Anna stopped herself. She wanted to ask what most women would want to ask their partner after finding out he had been cheating on her, but she was afraid that it would just make Xander look down on her even more.However, even if she did not ask, Xander guessed what was going on in her mind and answered her, "No, I h
"What… what are you talking about? I don't understand," said Anna, even though she knew full well what he was talking about.'Does he know? That's impossible… No… How did he know?' thought Anna. Her heart was beating really fast. She quickly put her trembling hands behind her back and took a deep breath to compose herself. Nancy had once told her that Anna's biggest weakness was her inability to stay calm under pressure.Tried as she might, her guilt was still as clear as day for Xander to see. However, Xander did not continue. Instead, he circled back to the original topic of changing the company's name."I'm definitely going to change the company's name, and if you don't like it, you can buy back the company shares. Then you can do whatever you want about the company," said Xander. He knew Anna did not have a penny to her name."Those shares were mine to begin with. You're the one who stole it from me!" complained Anna."Anna, nothing in this world was yours to begin with. You'r
"If you don't let me out now, it means you're guilty!" said Anna, deliberately provoking him.However, Xander simply drove off. It was as good as him admitting to his guilt.Somehow, he was able to get Anna home despite her fighting him every inch of the way."Xander, you bastard! Why won't you let me report Kristine to the police?! How can you side with a murderer? Were you in on it with her?" screamed Anna.Xander carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. He then lifted her chin and warned, "Do you know what the consequences of your actions are?"Anna did not know, but she could sense danger when she looked into Xander's eyes, so she immediately shut up.Xander reached out his hand. "Where's the prescription?"Anna turned her face away and said stubbornly, "I don't know.""You think I won't be able to do anything to you if you don't give the prescription to me?"Xander took off all her clothes and searched thoroughly through every nook and cranny, but he still
Strangely, even though the man was very far from her, it felt like he was whispering right into her ear. Her cheeks immediately became flushed with warmness."Can you please help me?" asked Anna.Instead of asking what she needed help with, the man asked, "Give me a reason why I should do that?"Anna was used to his unpredictability. She clutched the bedsheet and plucked up the courage to say, "Because the baby I'm carrying is yours. Is that a good enough reason for you?"The man fell silent. For those few seconds, Anna could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat and the man's breathing.Just when she was about to say something again, the man finally spoke, "Then have you made up your mind to be with me?"Anna hesitated for a second before saying, "Yes…""I'm not as rich or powerful as your husband, so I cannot give you the high life.""It's okay."Anna's thought process was simple. No matter how bad her new life was going to be, it could not be worse than her life with Xan
Xander woke up, gasping from his dream. After calming himself down, he looked at the time. It was only three o'clock in the morning. He tried to go back to sleep but could not, no matter how he tried. Thus, he threw off his blanket and went to the balcony to have a cigarette.He held a cigarette in one hand and his phone in the other hand, waiting for news about Anna. However, after waiting for three hours, Xander finally lost his patience and dialed the number he had already prepared.When the call was connected, the person on the other side reported without him asking, "Mr. Jenkins, we've recovered the car, but no one was inside."Xander frowned. "How is that possible?""The river current was too fast, so she may have been washed away. The river is too wide, making the search difficult!""You still have to do it. Money is not an issue. You must find her!"The person on the other end of the phone heard Xander sounding nervous, so he could not help but lay out the ugly truth befo
