After a series of examinations, Dr. Jacobson came to a reassuring conclusion. "Commander Carlson, Ms. Luxford was only injected with a mild dose of anesthesia. It's nothing serious.""What about the baby?" Jeanna was still worried on the side. If Sophie had not reacted quickly and stabbed the doctor in disguise, she could not even imagine what would have happened just now."The baby is doing well. There are no issues," the doctor explained.Austin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the still-unconscious Sophie. His brows furrowed further, and a hint of wrath that even he was not aware of flickered in his gaze."Austin, Soph is awake!" Jeanna exclaimed, giving Austin a firm tug that snapped him out of his thoughts.Sophie, exhausted, slowly fluttered her eyelids on the bed as though waking from a nap. However, the memories of the events before her loss of consciousness flooded back, and she sat up abruptly, clutching her abdomen. "My baby!""Soph, lie down. The baby i

"Sir, I swear I'm saying the truth. I'm willing to testify against Mrs. Carlson. She's the one who told me to do this."Austin's piercing, frosty gaze seemed to solidify the atmosphere. Austin finally spoke after a prolonged, intense stare that nearly reduced the man to tears. "Then repeat exactly what Mrs. Carlson supposedly instructed you.""Huh?" The man, baffled, looked up at Austin."Claim that Cedric orchestrated everything today, got it?" Austin subtly shifted, his eyes briefly catching the man's stunned expression.Sometimes, a bit of manipulation was necessary to steer things toward one's objective.Sensing the gravity of the situation, the man quickly agreed, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to pin it all on him."-Behind the wheel, Evander glanced in the rearview mirror at Cedric, Vivienne, and Tristan. Expecting to be heading to the hospital, he instead found himself fetching Vivienne and Tristan from the villa.Cedric sat silently in the back seat, his usually charmin

The waiter led the trio to a window-side table. Just as Cedric was about to sit down, he abruptly stopped, his icy gaze piercing toward a familiar figure across the street.There she stood, once the revered entertainment industry star, leaning on Jeanna. Her paleness was stark against the hospital band for surgical patients on her wrist.'She has gone through with the surgery! She aborted their child!'His heart felt as if it had been violently gouged out. Clenching his fists at his side, he yearned to confront Sophie about her decision, but the sight of Austin by her side forced him to contain his anger.'Sophie, are you really that desperate to be with him?' Cedric pondered, his heart sinking.Vivienne noticed the scene and acted surprised. "It's Ms. Luxford. She looks weak. Could she be unwell?"'Unwell?' Cedric's eyes flickered with suppressed fury.'She's eradicated our child from her life,' he thought bitterly.Sensing the tension, Tristan tugged at Cedric's sleeve with a

The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief. "All of them?" "Is that an issue?" Cedric's cutting tone left no room for argument.The waiter quickly nodded and composed himself, recognizing he was in the presence of affluence.Cedric's attention drifted back to the window, catching sight of the jeep departing for the apartment."With Austin there, she should be in safe hands," Vivienne remarked, her voice steady but her eyes betraying a hint of unease.Cedric's simmering anger intensified at Austin's mention. Abruptly standing, he announced, "I have matters to attend to at my company. You two enjoy your meal.""Daddy, won't you stay for pizza?" Tristan clung to his sleeve, looking up at him with pitiful eyes."Next time, Tristan. Eat with Mommy and head home. Evander will take you back," Cedric said, avoiding Tristan's hopeful gaze as he swiftly departed.Tristan's eyes reddened. "Mommy, is Daddy upset because of the lady we saw outside?"Every time Sophie appeared, his father seem

At the Carlsons.Melissa paced restlessly, constantly glancing at the clock on the wall. Her irritation was growing. It was already afternoon, and she anxiously wondered if that small piece of flesh, the obstacle, had been dealt with. Her phone beeped twice, and she smiled triumphantly upon checking the message.Deleting the message permanently, she muttered, "Sophie, you thought you could use that piece of flesh in your womb to leverage something from the Carlsons? Wishful thinking."-Cedric poured himself a drink in a luxurious private room at the Crimson Bar but didn't touch it. His typically charming demeanor had shifted to an icy coldness, unnerving the women nearby, who refrained from even the slightest breath."Why so serious? We're here to have fun," Sean chided, surrounded by women. His usual playful demeanor was absent, replaced by a lack of excitement since that incident.After shaking his head and downing his drink, Sean resolved not to let one incident, one person,

Cedric's wine glass shattered against the wall with a loud crash, its contents spilling like sorrowful red tears.Rising tensely from the couch, he stormed out of the room, his aura dark and foreboding."Evander, what's going on? Sophie was pregnant and had an abortion?" Sean quickly pieced things together, wondering if Sophie had gone to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.Evander sighed, his eyes filled with worry. He had never seen Cedric this angry.'Well, Sophie will have to fend for herself now,' he thought.-Back in the apartment, Jeanna tucked Sophie into bed, offering comfort. "I've ordered some nourishing soup for you. The doctor said your wound should heal in three days."Despite the pain from her post-surgery wound, Sophie managed a forced smile for Jeanna and then closed her eyes to rest. "I'll take a nap first.""Okay, I'll wake you when the soup arrives."After Jeanna closed the bedroom door, she flopped onto the couch with a frustrated face. 'Sophie end

Sophie's quick acknowledgment triggered a barely restrained fury in Cedric, evident in the twitch of his lips and the intensity of his gaze. His eyes blazed with resentment as he stared at her, his lips contorting into a strange smirk."You never wanted anything from me, did you, Sophie? Do you truly believe Austin can provide more than I can?" Cedric's voice dripped with sarcasm, his sinister smile sending shivers down Sophie's spine.As Cedric's hand brushed against her abdomen, Sophie met his gaze with newfound loathing. "What others can offer is irrelevant. You are not fit to be the father of my child.""So, you just let him die!"Sophie's heart ached, but she held Cedric's gaze defiantly. "Yes, the child is gone."Cedric's anger simmered at her admission. He had wanted the child gone, but her indifference and smile when she agreed stung him deeply.Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her cheek.Cedric's hand was gripping her face tightly. "Sophie, who do you think you are? I

After three days of rest at home, Sophie returned to work at Luxford Group, her face still showing signs of frailty.A concerned Linda remarked, "Ms. Luxford, your health is crucial. You seem exhausted.""I can manage," Sophie reassured with a smile, gesturing to her large thermos. "Jean makes me special mixes every day. I think I've even gained weight."She laughed, reflecting on her reliance on takeout since she sent Mrs. Carrie back to the Carlson family. Fueled by thoughts of her child, she was determined to stabilize Luxford Group before her pregnancy became more evident, allowing her to focus on childbirth abroad.Linda said, "But still—""I'm fine, really. Please gather the executives and the entire design department in the meeting room in half an hour," Sophie interrupted, reassuring Linda and Jeanna, who were worried about her.As a soon-to-be mother, she felt a need to be stronger than ever."Alright, I'll inform them now."-Half an hour later, the meeting room was
