They were met with two familiar figures as soon as they turned into a corner.Bryce was helping Holly into the elevator carefully. Both of them were laughing as they talked, radiating happiness.Samantha halted her steps as she stared at the backs of Bryce and Holly. She was green with envy.After the both of them entered the elevator and disappeared from her sight, Samantha gritted her teeth and said seethingly, "It's all that country bumpkin's fault!"Levi wouldn't have approached me if only she got a divorce with Bryce earlier, and I wouldn't have been tricked into sleeping with him. I wouldn't have gotten pregnant and wouldn't need to get an abortion now."She continued, "My hand is ruined, my life is ruined, and Grandma is still in prison. But she was out here living a happy life and even got pregnant. I really want her dead!"Quirina had a sinister gaze when she replied, "I want her dead, too!"Samantha said, "Let's just kill her, then."Quirina's brows went up as she ask
Holly was in too much pain to remain seated. She clutched at her stomach and glanced over to the backseat, only to find blood. It felt as if her entire world was crumbling.With tears in her eyes, she touched her stomach and silently prayed, "Stay strong, baby. You must stay strong. Mommy can't lose you!"Cooper was also gravely injured. He endured the pain and took out his phone to call 911. "Hello? I'm lodging a report. There's a car accident at the three-way intersection near Somervale Village—"Soon after, the bodyguards opened the door to help Holly out and into another car. Someone lifted James onto a collapsible stretcher and into the car while someone else carried Cooper. Two other bodyguards were left to deal with the aftermath of the crash. The others then rushed Holly, James, and Cooper to Cityscape Hospital. The bodyguard sped all the way through the journey.By the time Holly and the others were rushed to the hospital, Bryce had long since received the call and was
After a while, Bryce lifted his hand and touched Holly's pale face lovingly and pitifully. He gently coaxed, "Calm down first. A divorce isn't a small matter. Don't make any rash decisions."Holly looked down. "I'm very calm. I've been thinking about this for the past three days."Looking at how determined she was, Bryce figured it wouldn't be easy to talk her out of it.He felt a sharp pain in his heart.Bryce closed his eyes for a while and suppressed his emotions.After a second, he slowly opened them again.Bryce calmly said, "I'm going out for a smoke."Holly nodded.Bryce stood up and helped adjust her collar. After tucking her under the blanket and making sure everything was tidy, he finally left.Upon opening the door, Bryce bumped into Priscilla.She was holding a bottle of water as she asked, "Bryce, where are you going?"Bryce looked gloomy, and he walked away without any response.Priscilla was confused.She walked into the ward and placed the bottle on the bed
Holly used to think love was more important than life itself.When Bryce brought up the divorce with her a few months ago, she even felt like her world was falling apart.Now, she thought that love was nothing when a human life was in the equation.She said firmly, "I've made up my mind. I'm getting a divorce."Priscilla was tearing up.She hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, your grandma could've lived for a few more months. She was the one who secretly turned off the equipment on herself. She traded her life for your marriage."Holly felt another sharp pain in her heart.She pursed her lips tightly and suppressed the pain.After a long while, she finally spoke, "I had figured that out a while ago. That's why I've been doing my best to maintain our marriage. "I got the feeling that it wasn't rational to have a baby now. But to keep the relationship going, I still got pregnant. Now that the child is gone, there's no point in keeping up the marriage."I'm not getting a
Abelin frowned.After a few minutes, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. Then, he asked with a hoarse voice, "Is she doing well?""No." Bryce put out the cigarette in his hand with a pinch. He didn't even feel anything when his finger was burnt.Abelin stubbornly pried on, "Where is she hurt?""Her heart.""What about her body?""The baby is gone." Bryce pinched his forehead hard and said, "Our baby is gone."He felt suffocated, and his heart was in so much pain that it felt like something was tugging on it.That was because it was their first child.It was the only thing he could use as leverage to keep Holly by his side.Now, it was gone.After losing the child, Bryce was going to lose Holly as well. Holly and Bryce had been supporting each other in life.Bryce felt terrible.Meanwhile, Tobin received a call and approached Bryce.He took away Bryce's cigarette and checked the injury on Bryce's fingers.Then, Tobin said, "Mr. Gabelman, Detective Briant ju
Seeing how Bryce's car was speeding in her direction, Samantha was stunned in an instant.She instinctively screamed.Her mind was telling her to get out of the way, but her legs were weak like noodles.She couldn't walk a single step.Then, she fell to the ground with a thud.Samantha froze in place as her body trembled.She watched as Bryce's car got closer to her. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't do it. She was so frightened that she shut her eyes.The sound of the wheels on the road got clearer.However, the painful and messy scene that Samantha imagined didn't happen.She only heard a loud screeching noise of the brakes.Then, she heard more and more braking noises that grew louder.Samantha couldn't help opening her eyes.She saw a car that had suddenly appeared and stopped in front of Bryce's car, blocking it effectively.She was safe for the moment.As she relaxed, Samantha finally realized how fast her heart was beating. It was like a drum.Her clothes wer
Abelin just had to reveal who he was, and Holly would've reunited with him.However, he didn't do that.Instead, he just protected Holly in the shadows and never asked for anything in return.He didn't ask for fame or benefits. He didn't even ask for Holly's gratitude.Bryce thought Abelin was a strange man.He had never seen anyone weirder than Abelin.Bryce was born into a family of businessmen.Businessmen would focus on benefits, and they would do anything for it.Everything had to be equal in transactions. With that understanding, Bryce couldn't figure out Abelin's motive at all.However, in that instant, Bryce didn't seem to hate Abelin as much anymore.Bryce opened the car door and got into his car.Then, he called Tobin. "Get a few professional private investigators to tail Ron Spencer. Make sure to watch him from the shadows and not get caught. "That guy used to be an investigator and was sly. Once you get something, report him to the higher authority.""Yes, Mr.
The two of them hugged for a long time.Since they knew they were getting a divorce, they became more tolerant of each other.Although Holly was determined to get the divorce, she still couldn't bear to let go. She missed Bryce's warm embrace a lot.They kept hugging each other like that with countless thoughts in their minds.Neither of them wanted to let go.It was as if they wanted to hold each other until the end of the world.Suddenly, they heard a sharp ringtone breaking the peaceful silence.Bryce took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the screen.It was Arthur calling.Bryce frowned subtly and patted Holly on her back. "I'm going to answer this outside."Holly nodded.Then, Bryce left the room with his phone.After finding a quiet spot, he picked up the call.He asked nonchalantly, "What do you want?"Arthur asked anxiously with his serious voice, "Samantha was in an accident. We're at the hospital now. You should come, too."Bryce chuckled faintly.He
