Arabella woke up late to find herself lying in a hospital bed.

The smell of the hospital's sterile water was extraordinarily pungent, making her cringe in discomfort.

She unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen and nervously tried to sit up. "The baby... My baby..."

Emma Smith just pushed the door to come in, seeing this she quickly pressed her back, "Don't move, Bella! You're very weak now!"

Arabella eagerly grasped her hand, "Emma, how's my baby?"

Thinking about the sight of Arabella lying unconscious on the sofa last night, Emma felt a pang of fear in her heart, "You almost had a miscarriage! It's a good thing you've been sent to hospital in time, thus the baby was saved just in time."

Arabella then sighed in relief and smiled apologetically at Emma, "Thank you."

Seeing her bestie's glad look on her face from a brush of death, Emma shook her head and asked, "Nothing, but Arabella, when do you have a baby? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was just checked out yesterday."

"What about Ezra James? Does he know?"

Arabella paused, lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, "... He doesn't know. I haven't told him yet."

Emma widened and she instantly became angry, "You are pregnant but he doesn't know it, what kind of man is this? He let you stay home alone at night. Yesterday you almost miscarried but he even didn't make a phone call to ask till now!"

The more she said, the angrier she became. Emma grabbed her mobile phone and tried to call Ezra James, "This man dares to live up to my precious Bella, today I'll teach him how to be a man!"

Arabella was frightened by her and hurriedly reached out to stop it, "Don't..."

Emma jumped in anger, "Bella, why are you still defending this kind of scumbag like this? Are you out of your mind?"

"Ezra asked for a divorce last night..." Arabella's thin lashes fluttered softly and she smiled bitterly, "... Beth Ruth is back."

"That green tea bitch came back?"

Emma was surprised. She hadn't heard the woman's name in a long time.

"Did Ezra James let her come back? How can this man be so heartless? He's already married to you, and he's still charmed by that woman. it seems that he's not a good man either. Now this bastard wants a divorce. So what? It's not easy to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged men. With your family background and looks, there are plenty of men lining up to marry you!"

Arabella shook her head, softly stopped Emma's enthusiastic speech, "Emma, I've loved him for eight years, there's no way I can just leave."

She gently stroked her stomach as if to convince herself, "And now that I'm pregnant, maybe life will be better off after the baby is born..."

In the midst of love and lust, one lived and one died.

Arabella, who had always been sober, lonely and cold, had long since fallen into the abyss named 'Ezra James' and was unable to extricate herself.

Emma gave her a complicated look. She wanted to say something but was at a loss for words seeing the poor Arabella.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.

A doctor in a white coat came in, followed by a nurse.

"Excuse me, time for a ward round today." The man nodded slightly and his voice was deep and gentle. His point-like eyes looked over quietly

Arabella looked at him and suddenly felt something familiar about the man.

His face was gentle and clear, with a high nose and deep eyebrows, making people feel comfortable and calm for no reason.

The man lowered his head and narrowed his eye, no more words, just turned over her case.

"Mrs. James, although the baby was saved this time, there are signs of slippage. I hope you can take care of your recuperation and also keep your intercourse affairs under control, preferably not for the first three months."

Arabella didn't expect this young handsome doctor so blunt, she nodded awkwardly, with her ears tinged with red.

The nurse who is helping Arabella change the infusion bottle chuckled, lifted Arabella's hand, and said, "Never mind. This is an occupational disease for Dr. Noah Hall."

The doctor sniffed and looked up, just seeing Arabella's lightly raised wrist.

The woman's delicate jade-like wrist was slender and white, with only a small scar on the inside that was particularly conspicuous.

His facial slightly as he subconsciously went up and grabbed Arabella's arm, looked at the woman and sank his voice to ask, "Mrs. James, how did you get this scar?"

Arabella was a little surprised but still said truthfully, "I got this by accident when I was a kid. What's wrong?"

The man wrinkled his brow and tried to pursue the question, but the nurse behind him suddenly reminded him that it was almost time for an operation.

He frowned and hesitated a few seconds, then he nodded to Arabella, "You have a good rest first."

Soon they were gone, closing the door behind them.

It wasn't until the ward was empty that Emma just squeezed her eyebrows at Arabella, "Bella, you see? I told you that it's easy for you to get a new man. I didn't expect that now the doctor's appearance level is so high? It made my heart flutter."

Arabella gave her a white look, "Be careful what you say. You already got your Wyatt."

Emma spat out her tongue. Although Wyatt was good-natured, he was much difficult to soothe when he got jealous.

With Emma by her side, Arabella recovered quickly. She had stayed in the hospital for two days, and Emma was almost acquainted with the doctors and nurses

But for two days, Ezra had not appeared, not even a single phone call.

He probably didn't even know she's in the hospital, did he?

Arabella laughed bitterly, Ezra was far more ruthless than she thought and no one could compete with him.

She's used to it.

But when she was discharged from hospital on the third day and returned to James's villa, looking at the large yet empty villa, she couldn't help but ask herself in a trance, "Are you really used to it?"

If she was used to it, why did her heart flush with dense pain when she looked at the empty and cold villa, as if no one had set foot in it since the day she left home?

In the night

Arabella looked at the dark night and finally determined to dial Ezra's number.

The other side answered quickly.

"Hello?"

A familiar and strange female voice passed through the phone.

Arabella immediately froze, with her blood turning cold all of a sudden.

It's Beth Ruth's voice!

Arabella's brain went blank for a moment, after all these years, she could still recognize this woman's voice instantly

"... Put Ezra on the phone." Her tone was cold, she tried not to tremble, yet her fingers were pinching her sleeve unconsciously and fiercely.

The woman on the other side seemed to feel a little surprised by Arabella's composure and paused for a few seconds before speaking sweetly and delicately, "Ezra is taking a bath. I'll have him call you later!"

Arabella couldn't believe that Beth Ruth hadn't recognized her voice, if she really hung up the phone, that woman could never take the initiative to let Ezra call back.

Arabella gripped the edge of her phone with a deadly grip, she didn't want to back down, also, she really did have an urgent matter for him.

Fortunately, the man's cold and impatient voice soon came across the phone.

"What's wrong?"

    It had been too long since she had heard his voice, Arabella caught her breath for a moment. The man remained cold and reticent, but her heart trembled uncontrollably. She called Ezra today not only because she wanted to remind him to go back home to visit his grandpa tomorrow, but she also had her own selfishness. Arabella didn't want to say anything more in Beth's presence, but whispered, "You... When are you coming home?" The man paused for a few seconds, suddenly sneered, "What? I've only been away from home for a few days, and you're already that lonely?" Arabella's breath stopped for a second. In his mind, was she that shabby? What's more, with Beth Ruth by his side, did he have to put words in his mouth so harshly? Arabella took a deep breath, pretending not to hear the mockery in his words. "We promised to go home to see grandpa tomorrow. Don't forget that." "Don't bother me with grandpa's business. Who are you to teach me ho

    The unexpected person was slim and slender, with delicate but sinister eyes, thin red lips and a vague smile. It was Andrew James, Ezra's half-brother and they shared the same father. Although he is the second young master of James's family, he is actually an illegitimate son. His mother was so humbled to be on stage that Andrew wasn't taken back into James's family until he was six years old. Unlike Ezra, who is cold and deep, Andrew James is eccentric and unpredictable. Arabella didn't have much contact with him, and subconsciously didn't want anything to do with him. So when Arabella saw him, she just nodded a little, said "Mr. James" and started to leave. But as soon as she took a step, the man stopped her. Andrew James leans lazily against the door frame, with a slight smile on his handsome face, "Arabella, how come my brother is so relieved to let you, such a beauty, come back by yourself?? He doesn't know how to cherish his own woman. What a pity!

    The large room was suddenly filled with only the grandfather and grandson. "I'm not dead yet, and you're in such a hurry to bring her back? What, do you think I've lived too long to trouble you?" Arthur James coughed every word out. Ezra frowned and said, "Beth has recovered from her illness. It's time to come back. Her home is here, and she grew up here, she can't come back just because of Arabella?" Arthur James nodded angrily. "No, I can't control her, but I can control you!" He stared at the man in front of him, "Promise me that you won't divorce Arabella no matter what, or I won't rest in peace even if I die." "Just take good care of yourself, grandpa." "You shameless black sheep are trying to piss me off, aren't you? What's wrong with Arabella that you don't like her and run off to the vixen?" Ezra pressed his lips together and said nothing for a moment. There is nothing wrong with Arabella. She is beauti

"Beth!" An anxious male voice came out while she spoke. Before Arabella could react, the man suddenly ran forward quickly, knocked her away, and directly supported Beth Ruth on the ground. "Beth, are you alright?" Arabella was knocked out without any defense. She almost lost her footing, but her hands subconsciously protected her belly. When she looked up again, Beth Ruth had already stood up with the help of Ezra. The worry in the man's eyes were things she had never seen before... Beth Ruth looked up, but when her eyes met Arabella's hand that was covering her belly, she was stunned. Before she could think about it, she heard Ezra's cold voice ringing in her ear, "Arabella, are you crazy? How dare you push Beth?"

When he arrived home, he put her in bed and covered her with the blanket, kissed her brow compassionately, and was just about to get up and leave when his hand was pulled. When he turned around, he only saw that Beth Ruth had woken up at some point, and was now looking at him with red eyes, carefully saying, "Brother Ezra, I really don't blame Arabella for this, just pretend it's over, okay? Do not pursue it any further..." "Beth ..." Ezra looked complicated. Beth Ruth sat up and clutched his hand in supplication, "Brother Ezra, please! I don't want my embarrassment to stain your eyes, I just want to show you the best and most beautiful version of myself!" Ezra just felt his throat ache as he gently stroked her head, "No matter what happens, Beth will always be the

    Suddenly, the door of the villa was opened. Before Arabella could react, she saw Ezra walking in step by step with a gloomy face. Arabella looked at this familiar man, and a trace of fear arose in her heart for no reason. Finally, he was close. There seemed to be a layer of frost in the man's eye, which was so cold that it made her suffocate. Before Arabella could speak, Ezra's palm suddenly fell heavily on her right face. "Pa!" Arabella was fell uncontrollably onto the sofa, and her ears buzzed. Before she could react, the next second, the man grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. "Arabella, how dare you?" There was endless coldness in Ezra's eyes, and he almost roared, "Why are you so vicious to your sister? Why did you destroy her?" Arabella managed to open her eyes and spoke with difficulty in a hoarse voice, "I didn't... Beth Ruth is lying. It has nothing to do with me!" Ezra sneered, "Still quibblin

    Ezra was working in the study when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Beth Ruth wore a home dress and walked in with a cup of coffee. "Ezra, why do you have to work in my place?" She hugged the man from behind and her hair fell into his shirt. Ezra pinched his eyebrows tiredly and hugged Beth Ruth's waist tightly. Beth Ruth tilted her head and gently kissed the man on the forehead. She asked, "If you have any troubles, you can tell me." After a moment of silence, Ezra looked up and said in a hoarse voice, "Beth, I seem to have found out the cause of my parents' death!" Beth Ruth was a little surprised. She thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Didn't they die in a car accident?" "We have new evidence today," The look in Ezra's eyes instantly became ruthless. "They were not just died in a car accident. The accident has something to do with Aden Ruth!" "How could it be..." Beth Ruth was shocked.

Grace Ruth hadn't seen her daughter for a long time. She blamed Arabella for looking skinnier and kept asking her to eat the dishes she liked. Arabella didn't dare to answer his mother's question directly. Even she was pregnant and didn't know what to say. She could only smile and say, "I'm doing very well. A few days ago, I went back with Ezra to see his grandfather. He took good care of me." But now, he is with another woman... Grace Ruth nodded with relief. Aden Ruth looked up at Arabella. When his wife sat down, he slowly said, "Arabella, tell me the truth. How is your relationship with Ezra?" Hearing her father's question, Arabella was stunned. The memory of the night when Ezra almost strangled her to death suddenly appeared in her mind. The fear of suffocating and dying s
