Fresh, bright blood flowed down from Luna's leg to her ankle. She wore high heels even though she was pregnant.The ambulance sped all the way to the hospital. Lucas sat beside Luna, holding her hand tightly. His face was full of bruises.Luna grasped Lucas' hand tightly, "It hurts… It's so painful… Honey, I'm scared. Will our baby be alright?"Lucas had a straight face. He looked at Luna's pale and teary face. For some reason, he did not feel sorry for Luna. Instead, he thought that she deserved it.He had told Luna more than once to stop messing with Freya and stop looking for trouble with the Yuriel family. However, she refused to listen.Lucas looked at Luna's bump, and his eyes darkened.'Who does she think she is? She should know better that there was no way she could win the fight with the Yuriel family. It's so annoying and scary when a woman is an idiot. She's been repeatedly causing trouble because she thinks I'll tolerate her due to the baby.'This baby… Can the docto
"Why is it inappropriate? She's the one delivering the baby, not you."Since Dane knew that Lucas was no longer the Chief of the Universal Channel, he no longer treated Lucas with respect.He said abruptly, "I'm going to be blunt. You and Luna are now married, so you have to be responsible for her and the baby. You need to step up your game. Don't tell me you're counting on my sister to hold the family together. If you don't know what to do, go beg the Yuriel family.""Are you asking me to go beg the Yuriel family?"Lucas thought he had heard the most absurd thing ever and stared at Dane in disbelief.Dane did not think it was a big deal as he replied, "A great man knows when to yield and when not to. What's wrong with begging the Yuriel family? Luna's child is Jace's half-sibling. They share the same father. From another point of view, we are all family."What's wrong with using the same resources? We should share each other's fortunes. You are the common factor among us, so you
The news of Luna's massive hemorrhage and the need to induce labor soon reached the Yuriel family.When Freya heard the news, her face remained unmoved. She said coolly, "She deserved it."The child was innocent. Even though the conflict between her and Luna was so deep, she never wanted to hurt the child in Luna's belly. Unfortunately, the child had a mother with an evil heart.Meanwhile, Freya had no intention of letting the Zelda family go. The wildfire would always return with the spring wind. She had to do something to stop them from hurting her family again.Being merciful did not help with the situation. Instead, it only led to endless trouble. As such, it was better to take advantage of the favorable situation and crush the opponent.Freya's principle had always remained the same. She would not provoke others for no reason, but if someone tried to hurt her, she would make them pay the price.Luna had undergone an induced abortion and came out of the surgery with a flat st
It was nighttime.Sage, Suki, Jace, and Seth drank wine and enjoyed the cool evening breeze on the balcony.Sage and Suki wrapped themselves in capes. One curled up in the swing and the other on the couch. They were covered tightly and warmly, occasionally holding their hands out to toast the beer in their hands.Meanwhile, Jace and Seth leaned against the balcony and had a good time with a beer in their hands.Seth and Suki seldom had time to relax. They were busy all year round working on various productions and events. However, they finally had a chance to relax. It was all thanks to Kurt and Sienna.Suki raised her glass to Sage and Jace."Thank you so much for this one."Sage replied, "Suki, you're welcome. We're family."Jace nodded in agreement. "Yeah.""What are you saying 'yeah' for?"Sage looked at Jace. She raised her hand and gestured at Seth, Suki, and herself."We're the family."Jace looked at her with clear eyes. "Yes, you are."Sage was about to nod when J
Luna woke up in excruciating pain. She felt like someone had cut her in half with an ax.It felt like torture to her. Her senses above the waist and below the waist felt separated. The severe pain suffocated her.Childbirth was a painful process. Luna experienced all that, but unfortunately, she could not give birth to her child healthily. The fetus died in the womb. The doctors had to remove the dead fetus from her body by force.Luna looked at her flat belly and felt a little sad. She would be lying if she said she was not affected at all.Perhaps it was the baby's fate. On the other hand, dying in her womb was probably better than being born crippled.Her child did not have to suffer, and they did not have to suffer with him.She was glad that she got married to Lucas legally while the baby was still alive. The child was not in her belly for five months for nothing. In other words, the child made her wish come true.When Luna opened her eyes, she saw Lucas sitting beside her
Luna pressed her lips tightly and lowered her head slightly. Then, she put on an affectionate and worried look and said, "I can't bear to let him go, and I was afraid… that you wouldn't want him.""You fool! It's a deformed fetus! How could we keep him?!"Lucas's face turned sharp and gloomy again."If you had told me earlier, I would've brought you to abort it in the hospital. It's better than delaying it so much! By then, you couldn't even abort the child anymore!"Do you think I don't know your plan? You're just trying to use the child to take on the family name! You're using him! Do you know how damaging an induced abortion can be?"He was so angry that he slammed the glass of water in his hand to the ground. The glass made a loud clink as it shattered on the floor.Luna shivered from the loud noise.She got pregnant late, and her uterine wall was already thin from past abortions. She was lucky to have this baby, but she had no choice but to induce an abortion again.The do
Sage turned and met Jace's deep gaze.His pupils were pure black. The sunlight that shimmered on them made his eyes look like obsidian. His charming eyes were sparkling and dazzling under the light.He kept staring at her like that, with warmth and softness reflected in his eyes.Sage pursed her lips in speechlessness. Since Jace returned, he often teased her with flirtatious words. She wondered if her parents opened his eyes and taught him all of their weird logic. His replies and actions often caught her off guard and stunned her.His logic made sense at first glance, but not after she scrutinized it.She slowly narrowed her eyes and forced a warning from behind her teeth. "If you want to die, just say it. I'll grant your wish."Surprisingly, Jace showed no fear and laughed in reply. "I know you've always had a heart of gold. You can't bear to hurt me.""I..."Sage stared at Jace, who became so thick-skinned and shameless. She wanted to punch him twice.At the same time, Jac
Roy ran out of ideas, so he wanted the two smarter young ones to help him brainstorm.Jace and Sage answered in unison without hesitation. "Nah."Roy fell silent. They were in unison for nothing.Roy exhaled and curled his fingers. Then, he flicked the back of Jace and Sage's heads."Think!"Jace and Sage had to help Roy brainstorm reluctantly. After all, he was Sage's uncle and Jace's stepdad.Jace suggested, "How about Dunky?"Roy declined. "Dunky? I'd rather have Ducan!"Freya remained silent in speechlessness. She almost proposed the nickname Dunky. Fortunately, her son helped her out."How about calling him by his nickname?"Sage turned to Freya and asked, "Do you know my uncle's nickname?"Freya was unaware of this. "What's his nickname?""Ashly. It's derived from the ash tree, also known as the fairy tree."Sage turned to glance at Roy. Roy kept winking at her and frantically gestured for her not to say anything.It was Freya's first time hearing something like tha
