Ellie's heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest when she saw the figure standing at the door. The man looked like a demon who could kill her with a heart attack. She grew increasingly upset when she saw the man's face, which showed no remorse even though he had almost given her a heart attack. "Excuse me, sir," she said as she exited when the man stepped aside for her. The man simply stared at her as she walked away. "Who was that?" Nathan asked as he sat down in front of Robert. As a pediatrician, it was unlikely for Robert to have an adult patient like the woman just now. "Oh, her. She's pretty, isn't she?" Robert didn't answer. Instead, he asked back. "Your type is young girls?" Nathan teased. "Even if they're young, they can still have children. She is very kind and a good mother. After all, age doesn't guarantee that someone will be more mature and responsible for their own child." Robert looked at Nathan with a cynical smile. Nathan remained silen

Nathan walked with light steps into his family's luxurious mansion. A smile spread across his lips as he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the living room sofa, savoring a cup of green tea.His mood was lifted, simply because he heard that his wife had provided breast milk for their baby. The anger that had once peaked vanished in an instant. "Did you just come back from the hospital?" asked Madison. Seeing the happiness radiating from her handsome son's face, she knew that Nathan was in a good mood. "Yes, Mom," Nathan replied with a smile. He then sat on a different sofa in front of the beautiful woman, despite her age. "How is my grandson?" Madison inquired about her grandson. "Robert said that my child's condition has greatly improved. His weight has increased by 300 grams." "Really? I'm so happy to hear that. Tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital; I miss seeing him." The news Nathan brought truly made Madison happy. For the past two days, she hadn't been to the hospital

After three days of taking the medication prescribed by Dr. Robert, Ellie felt a noticeable improvement in her foot. She could finally put weight on it while walking. But the medication made her drowsy. Or maybe it wasn't just the pills—maybe it was the emptiness of having nothing to do. She used to have Nick to care for. Changing his pants whenever he peed, bathing him, playing with her sweet little boy. Now, all of it was just a memory. She wanted to accept it. But it was so hard. "Nick… I miss you. I miss you so much." She gazed at her son's photo, her fingers gently tracing his tiny face. If only she'd had a smartphone back then, she would have captured hundreds of pictures of him. She could have watched videos of his first giggles, his cries, the way he kicked his legs when he was excited, the moment he first learned to roll over. But she never got to document those moments. All she had was an outdated phone. Ellie only had four printed photos of Nick—fo

Ellie froze as Tory’s sharp words cut through her like shards of glass.“I don’t need to either. I don’t like being touched by someone like you,” Simon’s other sister, Tina, added coldly. Both women looked at her with pure disgust.Ellie simply nodded in understanding and turned toward the kitchen to make a drink.She was used to the insults, the mockery. She had heard them countless times before.But that didn’t make them hurt any less.Especially now—when her emotions were already fragile, shattered by the unbearable loss of her son.Ellie rushed to the kitchen. She didn’t immediately start making the drinks—she cried first. Sometimes, she wondered how much longer she could endure this family. A family that never missed a chance to insult and belittle her. A family that claimed to value education but treated people like animals. Was this what highly educated people were supposed to be like? She quickly wiped her tears away when she heard Wendy calling her name. “Hurry u

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, the news was utterly shocking. Ellie's heart stopped for a moment. "Please, listen to my explanation." Simon reached for Ellie's trembling hand. She remained silent, unable to utter a single word. The shock was so overwhelming that her entire body shook. Was this what they called betrayal? Had Simon cheated on her? But since when? "You're joking, right?" Ellie forced a smile, hoping Simon was just messing with her. "No, I'm not," he said, his tone firm. "I'm serious. We got married a month ago." The tears she had been holding back finally spilled down her cheeks as Simon's confession sank in. How could he do this? Their relationship had been so good. "I'm sorry, I didn't know Simon was already married. And I'm also sorry about your son's death." Melissa's voice was laced with false sympathy. "That night, Simon was at my apartment. I heard his phone ringing. I saw it was you calling, but he was already asleep, and I couldn't

"You shouldn't have brought me here," Matthew said weakly, his voice trembling. He was useless now, just a broken man watching his family fall apart.He had failed—not just as a father but as a husband too. He had failed to raise his children properly."If it weren't for this stupid woman, Simon wouldn't have done something like this with another girl," Wendy spat, jabbing a finger at Ellie as if she were the root of all their problems.Matthew's tired eyes lifted to his wife. "So now you're excusing our son's actions?" His voice was rough, filled with bitter disappointment."I'm not excusing him," Wendy snapped. "But Simon isn't wrong. It's this damn daughter-in-law who's the problem—she's the one ruining our family's name."Melissa stood quietly to the side, watching it all unfold.She felt lucky to have a mother-in-law like Wendy. No matter how wrong her children were, in Wendy's eyes, they were always right.Matthew clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain tighten in his rib

The flash of anger and hatred was clearly visible in Ellie's eyes. There was nothing left to think about. She could go anywhere even though she had nothing. She wanted to escape from the vicious cycle created by her husband.Simon's heart pounded when he heard Ellie's words. No matter how many wounds he inflicted on his naive wife's heart, she would foolishly stay. He was sure Ellie would never ask for a divorce because she loved him so much. Besides, Ellie had no one else but him. He would never divorce and let Ellie go."Ellie, I'm sorry. I promise to be fair," Simon said earnestly, holding Ellie's hand tightly."I just want a divorce. So divorce me right now," Ellie said loudly. She would never accept being in a polygamous marriage.She had just held the marriage certificate, but soon she would hold the divorce papers. It made her sad, but it was better than staying in a family with a heart of stone."Ellie, please forgive me. Honestly, I never intended to cheat. At first, we w

"Divorce?" Wendy scoffed. "You say it so easily. If you want to leave Simon, then pay off the $2,700 debt from delivering your baby first."Ellie froze. Debt? What debt?Wendy casually pulled a document from her bag and held it out for Ellie to see."When you gave birth, Simon only had $300. The remaining $1,700 was a loan from me," she explained smoothly. "According to this agreement, you owe me that amount—with a 10% interest per month. Since you haven't paid for three months, there's a $500 late fee and $500 in accumulated interest. That brings the total to $2,700.""After the reception and their honeymoon, you'll be staying at my house."Wendy smiled at Ellie, completely unfazed by her pale, stricken face. There wasn't an ounce of pity in her eyes.In fact, she couldn't wait for Ellie to move into her house. With Ellie around, she could save the $300 a month she spent on two household assistants. And even better—she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of hiring a caretake

Madison smiled at her only son. "What took you so long?" "The traffic was bad, Mom," Nathan replied as he sat down beside her. "I stopped by the baby room earlier," he continued, glancing around. "The nurse told me the wet nurse is here." Nathan scanned the room, searching for the woman who had been feeding his son. "Yes, we've already met your son's wet nurse," Madison said, her gaze shifting toward Ellie. Nathan frowned slightly. "Where is she, Mom?" he asked, his eyes widening with anticipation. The tightness in his chest eased at the thought of finally meeting the person who had been caring for his baby. It meant he wouldn't have to search for a new wet nurse after all. Madison smiled and gestured toward Ellie. "Here she is. Her name is Ellie."Nathan stared at Ellie, his brows furrowing as disbelief flashed across his face. He rubbed his eyes a few times, as if trying to make sure he wasn't imagining things. "I'm going to hire Ellie as a babysitter and wet

"My husband rarely comes home. He's always traveling for work. So it was just me and my son at home. I tried everything—cooling him down with a compress, checking his temperature constantly—but the fever wouldn't break. I started to panic. I called my husband, hoping, praying he'd answer."Her body trembled as she spoke. The wound in her heart, already festering, felt like it was being torn open and rubbed with salt and lime. Melissa's cruel words echoed in her mind again—how he had been sleeping at her apartment while Ellie had been fighting alone, desperate to save their son.She tried to stay strong, to keep her voice steady, but as she recounted the last moments of her baby's life, the dam broke. Tears slipped down her cheeks, no longer within her control.Robert remained silent as he listened to Ellie's story. For some reason, his heart always hurt when he heard about Ellie's son's death.Madison tried to comfort Ellie. "Stay strong, dear. Your son is with God now, an angel in

Robert glanced at his ringing phone. The moment he saw the caller's name, he answered without hesitation."Hello," he said."Hello, Dr. Robert. I wanted to ask… is Miss Ellie with you?" The nurse's voice was polite but hesitant.Robert frowned. "Yes, what's the matter?" He stood up from his seat and moved a few steps away from Ellie."Doctor, I-I checked the surveillance camera," the nurse admitted nervously.Robert's expression darkened. "How did you even know I was with Ellie?" His tone sharpened with irritation."I'm sorry," the nurse stammered. "I only checked the cameras because—""You were watching me through hospital surveillance?" Robert cut in, his voice low and displeased. "How dare you invade my privacy like that?"The nurse fell silent, realizing she had overstepped."Please, don't be angry or misunderstand," the nurse pleaded. "Mrs. Madison Hemingway wants to meet Miss Ellie. Since she didn't know where to find her, she asked me to check the cameras. That's when I

Although fear gripped her, Ellie forced herself to look at the man calling her. If he was connected to Simon, she still had a chance to run.She turned cautiously—and in an instant, her fear melted away."Dr. Robert." A relieved smile spread across her face as she recognized the kind-hearted doctor approaching her in his white coat."How are you?" Robert asked, his expression stern. "I told you to come back in four or five days for a check-up. Why didn't you?"Ellie lowered her gaze. "Sorry, doc," she murmured, unable to come up with an excuse.Robert sighed, then crouched in front of her. "How's your foot?""What are you doing?" Ellie wanted to pull her leg away in panic, which was now being held by the doctor."I want to check your wound," Robert said as he gently removed Ellie's flip-flops. After examining her foot and seeing that it had healed, he stood up."You are my most stubborn patient," he muttered before sitting beside her.From the first time they met, he had felt

Ellie remained silent, listening as the nurse in the white uniform spoke."Yesterday, when I last saw him, he didn’t look like this," Ellie murmured, watching the baby grasp her index finger. "His little face wasn’t as handsome as it is now."The nurse chuckled. "Of course he's handsome! His father is incredibly good-looking. Sharp nose, red lips, brown eyes, and even brown hair. He’s tall too, just like a movie star."The pretty nurse spoke dreamily, clearly picturing Nathan. He had become the hospital staff’s unofficial heartthrob, especially since he had been visiting his baby’s room every day for the past three weeks.Ellie simply smiled and nodded.But then the nurse’s gaze fell on Ellie’s lips. "What happened to your lips?" She asked, noticing the dried cut.Ellie touched them absently. "I fell," she said with a small smile.The nurse gasped. "Oh no, you have to be more careful!" Then, after a brief pause, she hesitated before asking, "By the way… how long has it been sinc

Ellie sat quietly in the chair outside the treatment room in deep thought. She had no idea who was inside. In this hospital, no one paid her any attention. People came and went as they pleased.For her, it was the safest place to stay while searching for work. But anxiety gnawed at her, what if security questioned her? Visiting hours had already ended.Sleep weighed heavily on her eyelids. Without shifting her position, she dozed off, her back slumped against the chair. But moments later, she jolted awake, a sense of unease creeping in. What if someone stole her belongings?A throbbing pain spread across her chest, reminding her that she hadn’t pumped breast milk since the afternoon. Her breasts felt swollen and sore, and her clothes were already damp with leaked milk.She hurried to the nursing room and began pumping. Since it had been hours, she managed to collect 750 milliliters—a surprisingly large amount. The sight of it filled her with relief. Smiling, she quickly took the mi

Ellie felt a rare sense of happiness at the orphanage. For a brief moment, surrounded by the laughter of children, the weight on her heart felt lighter. Seeing their bright smiles helped her forget—if only for a little while—the burdens she carried. Grateful for their joy, she had made sure to bring snacks and candies. As soon as she handed them out, the children eagerly scrambled for the treats, their excitement contagious.As she watched them, her gaze drifted to a caregiver holding a tiny baby."Ma'am, how old is the baby? Is it a girl or a boy?" Ellie asked, stepping closer.The caregiver, a woman in her forties, gently rocked the infant. "She's a girl. Two months old. Her name is Aliya."Her expression darkened slightly as she continued. "Aliya was abandoned by her parents at our doorstep. We found her at dawn… unconscious."Ellie's heart clenched. "That's awful," she whispered, looking at the fragile little girl."Her parents were cruel," the woman said sadly. "She was left

Ellie reached into her pocket and pulled out the money Simon had given her. Slowly, she began counting the crisp fifty-dollar bills, stacking them neatly on the glass table."Fifty, one hundred, one fifty, two hundred dollars," she murmured, her fingers lightly brushing over the bills.A small smile tugged at her lips as she stared at the neatly arranged money.She hadn't expected Simon to give her so much.At least now, she wouldn't have to worry about food for a little while—just until she found a job.Ellie hurried to her room. No matter what happened, she had to leave today.At any moment, Wendy and Simon's siblings could show up, forcing her to move into their house. Or worse, Melissa might decide she didn't like the idea of Simon giving her money for groceries.Any of those possibilities could become reality.That's why she needed to leave—now. Before Simon's family caught on.She refused to let her guard down. If she stepped foot into that house, she knew exactly what a

"Why donate them? Nick's clothes can still be used for his younger sibling later," Simon objected."Just buy new ones for his sibling. Poor Melissa—she wouldn't want hand-me-downs," Ellie explained.Simon frowned. "I wasn't talking about Melissa's child. I meant ours—so we won't have to buy baby supplies again."Ellie laughed, but there was no real joy in it—only an attempt to mask the pain tightening in her chest. "Simon… I'm still traumatized by childbirth. Besides, the hospital bill hasn't even been paid off. The interest keeps piling up every month. And if we're late, there's a 10% penalty."I also can't bear to look at Nick's clothes. Every time I see them, it just… hurts. That's why I want to donate them to the orphanage. There are so many babies there who need them more."Simon nodded, understanding her feelings."Since you'll be gone for a long time, can I ask for some money for food? I have nothing left. Even the fridge is empty," Ellie explained at length."Yeah, I'll
