He slumped into the corner and closed his eyes in anguish.
The old man walked over, speaking in a deep voice, "Go inform the doctor that the pregnant woman and the child must not be in danger."
The nurse nodded, closing the door to the surgery room again.
The old man looked at Ronan and said coldly, "I know what you're thinking. When you married Lyra, you didn't love her at all."
"I just couldn't be bothered with your affairs, but I didn't expect that it would harm Lyra. She's a good girl, and you've truly messed up this time!"
The old man sighed, "I thought you would change after Lyra got pregnant, but I didn't expect you to become even more ruthless. For those dubious women outside, you've jeopardized Lyra's life..."
Ronan did not explain.
He had no right to explain anything.
Wrong is wrong.
Bringing a woman back to Majestic Crest Villa was the reason for Lyra's premature birth.
Forcibly conducting a bone marrow
He had lived for over twenty years, and except for the time when his parents died in a car accident, this was the second time in his life he experienced such a desperate panic.His life had always been firmly under his control, well-organized, without any errors.Ronan confidently believed he could handle everything, but when he saw Lyra on the brink of death in the operating room, he realized how wrong he was.Lyra, this woman who entered his life, disrupted all his plans and caught him off guard.It made everything chaotic, slipping out of control, and he didn't know what he had done.And now, he had no idea what to do.He had made a grave mistake.He hadn't anticipated that the doctors would think he didn't care about Lyra, so they concealed the dangers of the surgery.Ronan suddenly realized with dread, what if Lyra died?He had never thought about losing Lyra.A chilling sensation from the depths of his being
Ronan heard Lyra's painful curses again."I curse you! You'll never get the one you truly love in your entire life! I want you to be heartbroken, to yearn and not obtain!"Muttering to himself, Ronan said, "Lyra, your curse has come true."If it weren't for the old master, Ronan might have long forgotten about his son."Lyra is no longer here. If you don't want this child, I will help you raise him. After all, he is the heir of the Vale family," the old master said regretfully, looking at the baby in the incubator.Ronan's gaze fell on the baby.He frowned.So small, so fragile.Is this his and Lyra's child?He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart, subconsciously feeling some rejection towards the child.If it weren't for this child, maybe Lyra wouldn't have died.No, what right did he have to blame the child?It was his fault..."I'll take care of him myself," Ronan said firmly.
She worked hard to improve herself and become a qualified heiress.Ronan's heart ached dullly.He had never known that Lyra had done so much for him.His slender fingers continued to flip through the diary."Ronan, you're so filthy! I regret falling in love with you!"Ronan's heart twitched, but he continued reading."Today, Ronan brought a female celebrity home. He's so filthy!""I finally realized that my two years of waiting were nothing but weakness. Because I didn't dare bravely find him, didn't dare face the scenes of him with other women.""I've always hidden in my turtle shell. Now I've decided to bravely step out.""He finally noticed me, but he didn't even know who I was, treating me like a girl from outside, flirtatiously. Several times, I wanted to tell him that I was his wife. But in the end, I didn't say it because it was no longer necessary.""Today, he almost had his way with me. I was so scared, a
He forcibly performed the bone marrow transplant, disregarding her premature labor.She heard the doctor say that he only cared about Cordelia Locke's life, indifferent to hers and the baby's fate.Now he rushed into the operating room, shouting and crying. Who was he trying to impress?Lyra's body began to feel lighter, and she floated in mid-air. She saw Ronan below, holding her body and crying in pain.She had no attachment, slowly floating upwards.She passed through the ceiling, through the roof.Into the warm and eternal darkness.After an unknown time."Lyra." Suddenly, she heard Torin's gentle voice.She turned abruptly and saw a scene.In the hospital room, she lay there with closed eyes, and Torin sat by her side.Torin held her hand, looking very sad."You've been in a deep sleep for a long time. Wake up, okay? Don't go back to sleep."On the instrument next to the hospital bed, the
In the study of the Emperor's Palace, Ronan had become noticeably thin.He pursed his lips, working expressionlessly.Formerly, he exuded a cold aura, but now he seemed even more unapproachable.After what felt like a long time, Ronan finished his work, shut down the computer, and left the study.He first went to the baby's room, where the maternity nurse had already put the baby to sleep.Only when he saw the baby, a crack would appear on his icy face.The baby, being premature, had a fragile body and spent a month in an incubator at the hospital before being brought home.The baby's eyes and mouth resembled Lyra, causing Ronan's heart to ache even more.After taking a shower, he lay on the bed intending to sleep.With his hands behind his head, he kept his eyes open, unable to sleep.He unlocked his phone, and the screensaver displayed the only photo of him and Lyra together, where she smiled peacefully and beau
The assistant rushed to the Emperor's Palace with a changed expression, shouting, "Mr. Ronan, something's not right!"Zane, the butler, intercepted him, saying, "The young master is in the study and ordered not to be disturbed."The assistant anxiously said, "It's urgent! The company is facing a major crisis!"Zane hesitated, "But the young master instructed that no one is allowed to enter."Ignoring Zane, the assistant forcefully pushed past him and rushed towards the study. Just as he reached the study door, it suddenly swung open from inside.Ronan exuded a chilling aura, his face expressionless and his eyes ominously sharp. He coldly said, "I already know. Now, go to the company!"After a long absence, Ronan finally appeared at the company. When he entered the meeting room, the shareholders inside were in chaos."What's the commotion?" Ronan reprimanded.Seeing him, everyone seemed to view him as a savior."Mr. Ronan, it's bad! The stock prices are plummeting out of control!"Rona
Dorian Ashford burst into laughter and withdrew his hand from Cordelia Locke's skirt."Cousin, you must be very upset, right? After all, Cordelia used to be the woman you loved the most. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, she has quite a variety of skills in bed!"Cordelia Locke wore an expression of disbelief, her mind buzzing, unable to understand why Dorian Ashford would say such things.Ronan coldly stated, "We are still in a board meeting. Irrelevant individuals, please leave, or I will have security escort you out!"Irrelevant individuals?Cordelia Locke's body swayed.How did she and Ronan become irrelevant?Didn't he like her a lot?Didn't he sacrifice Lyra's life for her?Right, he must be angry because of Lyra!Thinking this way, Cordelia Locke's face revealed a somewhat unbearable sadness."Ronan, are you angry with me because of Lyra?" she asked."Shut up!" Ronan's eyes filled with deep sarcasm, his face contorted with a grimace. He clenched his teeth, saying, "You, a w
Torin's long-standing worry finally became a reality.Lyra had fallen into depression.Perhaps she hadn't even realized it herself, but whenever she stood on the balcony, there was an irresistible urge to jump.Torin knew the loss of the baby had hit her hard, making it difficult for her to move on.Torin had Garrick Monroe provide psychological therapy for her, and Garrick Monroe was quite speechless."I'm a surgeon, okay? Why do you come to me for everything?""Then find a psychologist; I'm afraid Lyra might consider drastic measures!" Torin said impatiently."I'm fed up with you! However mental illnesses are challenging to treat. Unless she realizes it herself, no one can help," Garrick Monroe shook his head repeatedly.Soon, Garrick Monroe brought a psychologist, leaving Lyra feeling overwhelmed.She could sense that something might be wrong with her psychologically.Lyra was unwilling to share her heart easily and had closed herself off.She gracefully conversed with the psycholo
“Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo
Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting
He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched
"If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached
She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr
!Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s
Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat
Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep
Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
