Without going to the hospital or calling anyone, Elaine took a taxi directly home. The thirty-minute ride felt like an eternity. She clenched her lips tightly, and by the time the taxi stopped at her doorstep, her teeth had cut deeply into her lip, leaving a taste of blood.

She tried to enter her home quickly, not wanting anyone to see her in such a miserable state. However, fate had other plans for her. The housekeeper was in the living room cleaning when she heard footsteps approaching. As she looked up, she and Elaine made eye contact, and the housekeeper's expression turned surprised when she saw Elaine's condition. Elaine could only force a bitter smile and lower her head.

"Don't tell them, not for now," Elaine pleaded.

It took the housekeeper a while to recover from her shock. She dropped the cleaning cloth she was holding and hurriedly went to fetch the first aid kit, but Elaine stopped her, "No need, I have it in my room. I'll go up first, you can continue with your work." Wit

To be more precise, Mason had Aaron's collar in his grasp, and his fists were landing on Aaron's handsome face, causing a loud thud with each punch.Aaron naturally didn't want to be beaten up, but when he thought about Elaine being surrounded by five burly women, he found that he couldn't lift his fist no matter how hard he tried.

    As soon as Aaron returned to the company, he received a call from Sarah, "Aaron, are you coming to pick me up for the evening banquet?"With a lot of pent-up anger in his heart, Aaron struggled to hold back and managed to squeeze out a response from between his teeth, "Mm."Thinking that he was busy with work, Sarah continued sweetly, "How about five o'clock? I'll wait for you at home, but you better not be late."Aaron hung up the phone without saying a word. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he ran into Lionel. They maintained a polite facade while passing each other, but their faces darkened with hidden intentions afterward. Suddenly, Lionel seemed to remember something and turned back to call out to Aaron."I have something to tell you," Lionel said.Aaron turned around, and Lionel casually put one hand in his pocket, appearing very nonchalant. However, his eyes carefully observed Aaron's expression as he pretended to be surprised and asked, "I heard that Miss Smith from the S

    Calvin's smile on his face faded slightly, and he playfully flicked Elaine's forehead with his finger, "Don't be so polite with me."The more he acted this way, the more guilty Elaine felt. She lowered her eyes, unable to meet his affectionate gaze, and her heart was in turmoil. She couldn't bear to deceive someone as good as Calvin. Summoning her courage, she began to say, "Once this matter is resolved, I intend to...""Thank you all for coming to tonight's charity banquet. The auction is about to begin. Please take your seats."The host's passionate voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Elaine's words. As he finished speaking, everyone in the venue started moving to their seats. Elaine wanted to say something, but Calvin spoke first, "We can talk later when we're seated."Elaine had to temporarily hold back what she wanted to say. Beside her, Calvin secretly sighed in relief and gently placed his hand on her waist. They followed the waiter's lead and found their seats.As soon as Ela

    The scene descended into chaos. There were a total of five robbers. Two of them held Elaine and Sarah hostage, while the other two pointed their guns left and right, and the remaining one swiftly snatched the auction items from the stage."Aaron, save me!" Sarah screamed in terror, desperately calling for Aaron's help.Elaine remained relatively calm. She looked down at the crowd, seeing people scattering and running for the exits. Calvin was being pushed by the crowd but still tried his best to reach the stage, shouting her name loudly, "Elaine!""Quick, run!" Elaine became anxious. If she couldn't escape today, she couldn't let Calvin be involved as well. If one of them could escape, that would be better than nothing.Ignoring Aaron's reprimand, Calvin tried to move forward again."Stop!" One of the black-clad men, holding a gun, shouted at him and fired a shot at his feet.Bang! Elaine trembled in fear, her face turning paler.Aaron saw this and clenched his lips uneasily. His temp

    Sarah was the first to get agitated, "Elaine, you're so selfish! What are we going to do?"Elaine wanted to laugh. Some people indeed had double standards. Their lives mattered, but hers didn't? Ignoring Sarah's raging tantrum and the enigmatic Aaron, she noticed the approving glint in the eyes of the black-clad man. A glimmer of hope surged in her heart. Perhaps, these people would accept her proposal?"Aaron, say something!" Sarah urged anxiously. She feared that the kidnappers might agree to Elaine's suggestion, leaving her in a precarious situation. She had just gotten a new heart and didn't want to die!Aaron remained silent, ignoring her and not even looking at her. His cold and stern gaze was fixed on Elaine, as if he wanted to see through her. This woman... was she really this heartless? Had he ever said that he wouldn't save her? Yet, she had immediately abandoned him!Seeing that Aaron was unresponsive, Sarah hastened to beg the black-clad men, "My mother is the chairman of

    The wind howled as the police cars had already arrived downstairs.Elaine strained to lift her head and saw Aaron's face. Just a moment ago, she thought she was done for, and her heartbeat almost stopped.The wind was too strong, blowing her long hair messily across her face, causing some discomfort. But in her line of sight, Aaron's face became clearer and clearer - the prominent veins on his forehead, the tightly furrowed brows, and the distorted features as he struggled to bear her weight.Her vision suddenly blurred again, warm tears welled up and dispersed in the wind. She felt so useless, finding solace in this tiny bit of warmth. At least, this time, he didn't completely abandon her!"Hold on," Aaron's body was half-hanging on the railing. The incident happened too suddenly, and when he rushed over, he instinctively reached out his right hand. Though he managed to catch Elaine in time, his right hand didn't have much strength left. With time passing, his right hand started to f

    Mason smirked and patted Aaron's shoulder, pulling him back. He repeated, "Don't worry, when my sister gets married, I'll make sure to send you an invitation!"Aaron's face remained tense, not saying a word, but veins were visibly pulsing on his forehead. He felt so aggrieved! He had risked his life to save her, and yet here she was, hugging another man so affectionately. It was annoying, incredibly annoying.Ignoring Mason's sarcastic remarks, Aaron walked straight in, seemingly unaware of the warm atmosphere inside. He nonchalantly spoke, "I came to check on you. Are you okay?"Hearing his voice, Calvin felt Elaine trembling slightly in his arms. He slowly released her as she pulled away from him. With her withdrawal, Calvin felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, feeling somewhat lost, he pushed his glasses up.Elaine looked over Aaron's shoulder and saw that he seemed fine as well, but his gaze was filled with inexplicable anger, which puzzled her.

Elaine's delicate features were bathed in the golden morning light, and her bright smile was incredibly captivating. She was simply mesmerizing."Why do you seem happier after experiencing a disaster?" Calvin curiously asked."Really?"

But when the door swung open, it wasn't a nurse who entered; it was Lance, dressed in a suit and holding roses.Almost reflexively, Sylvia's heart skipped a beat.

He lowered his head and looked at his empty arms, feeling a sense of loss. A trace of disappointment appeared on his clean face, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly."Lance, I advise you to think it over. I'm offering you a high price. Don't regret it!"

    From a very young age, Sylvia displayed a different side compared to other girls. While most girls immersed themselves in pretty princess dresses and shades of pink, and vied for the attention of handsome young men, Sylvia showed little interest. Furthermore, she had an exceptional older brother, Lance, which led her to have high standards when it came to men. Ordinary young men simply couldn't capture her interest. During her school years, many pursued her with flowers and gifts, but failed to attract her. Later, when she began working in the emergency department of a hospital, she encountered gory scenes every day. Her conversations were often peppered with terms like "fracture," making her one of the renowned figures at St. Love Hospital's emergency department. Sylvia didn't think much of men. They seemed to exist only to fulfill certain needs, and she had little desire for such things. Having become accustomed to being on her own over the years, even as her family members marrie

    In mid-September, Renee gave birth to a baby girl. When Elaine and Aaron arrived at the hospital, they saw the newborn baby, wrinkled-faced and tiny. Elaine looked at her with great affection and couldn't wait to hold her.The nurse carefully handed the baby to her, a soft bundle that seemed fragile, as though she might break with a wrong move. Elaine held her with stiff movements, as if cradling something extremely delicate. She didn't dare to breathe too heavily."She's so small and so soft," she exclaimed excitedly. Elaine turned to look at Aaron and was surprised to see a hint of tears in his eyes. She was momentarily taken aback. The baby in her arms had already been taken away by the nurse."I have to take the baby to the nursery. Family members can go there to see her," the nurse said and left with the baby.In the corridor, it was just Elaine and Aaron. Elaine placed her hand on her swollen abdomen, then linked her arm with Aaron's, and smiled. "We'll have our own baby very so

    As time passed, Elaine's belly gradually grew larger. With Aaron's meticulous care, she gained a little weight. Her once sharp chin filled out, and her complexion improved.During these two months, a significant event occurred: Ralph Brown passed away. He transferred all of Aaron's company's 30% of shares to Elaine, left the old Brown family mansion to Vincent, and the other five properties, including cars and various antiques, to Trevor. Mavis, at first, didn't agree with this distribution of the inheritance. Elaine didn't want those shares either, but the lawyer explained that if Elaine refused, the shares would have to be donated to a charitable organization. So, in the end, Elaine had to accept the shares. Mavis had no choice but to accept it as well, as the will had legal effect.Elaine already had 10% of Aaron's company shares, and with the additional 30%, it meant that Aaron's company ultimately returned to Aaron's control.Throughout this process, Aaron remained silent.

    Aaron brought Elaine back to their home. He carried her upstairs, being gentle and considerate. "You're so cold. Let me run a hot bath for you."In truth, Elaine wasn't cold; it was his own body that felt icy.Seeing his lips turning purple, Elaine couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his cheek. "I'm sorry for making you worry."Aaron just shook his head. "As long as you're okay."Elaine bit her lip. "I'm not okay. I've really thought about ending it, why go on living to face all that pain?"As her words fell, Elaine distinctly felt Aaron's arm around her tightening. Nevertheless, she continued, "I just thought of the baby in my belly. I've already killed one. I can't harm this one too, so..."Her words caused Aaron's entire body to tense. Yet, he was also relieved that they had this child. Otherwise, he might have lost Elaine forever. He shifted his gaze to her abdomen and softly said, "Thank goodness for you."Elaine was unaware of his thoughts, and her fingers instinctivel

The samples had been provided by Melissa herself, and the hair samples, including Elaine's and hers, couldn't have been falsified.Her fingers trembled uncontrollably. Melissa staggered backward, her back against the wall, unable to contain the shivers running through her body. Elaine was really her daughter.She was the same daughter she had heartlessly abandoned in the wilderness during that winter, the daughter she had forsaken in her ruthless quest for revenge against Tatum.

    More than an hour later, Elaine woke up. When she opened her eyes, there were people standing around her hospital bed. She blinked and felt some discomfort in her shoulder. Her brow furrowed slightly.Aaron, anxious, immediately asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"Elaine shook her head. "I'm okay. Thanks for worrying."She remembered Calvin, the man who had pushed her away, and asked anxiously, "How is Calvin?"She tried to sit up but was gently restrained by Sylvia. "Don't worry; he's okay. He has a broken leg, but the other injuries aren't too severe."Elaine, reassured about Calvin's condition, patted her stomach. "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the baby."Aaron stopped her from moving further, saying, "The doctor said you should try to move as little as possible. Don't forget, there's a baby in your belly."Elaine rested back down.Over the next few days, Aaron not only took care of Elaine but also investigated why the driver had veered toward her. He found

Tatum suddenly looked up, a hint of panic in his eyes, and slowly stood up from the sofa. It was indeed Melissa returning. She was holding her phone and talking on the phone, saying, "Don't worry, as long as you complete this task for me, I promise to send your wife and child abroad. Yes, the two million deposits have been transferred to your wife's account. I'm waiting for good news from you. Remember my requirements, go all the way!" Then she hung up and walked into the house.
