Bryan nodded.

Scarlett's body shivered, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her from head to toe.

Didn't Wayne said he didn't like Belinda Carl? If he didn't like her, why would he get her pregnant? "Scarlett,are you okay?" Bryan asked, noticing her pale face and looking concerned.

Scarlett snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head. "I'm fine."

The moment she heard that Belinda was pregnant, a tiny pang of disappointment hit her heart. But she quickly brushed it off.

Who Wayne was with had nothing to do with her.

She had no right to be upset about it.

"Scarlett, you're acting strange. Could it be that you like Wayne?" Bryan asked, his eyes filled with suspicion.

After all, her reaction had been quite intense.

Scarlett looked up at Bryan and asked, "Do I?"

Bryan nodded. "Yes, you do."

"My reaction isn't because I like Wayne; it's because I'm worried," she said, walking over to a bench in the hallway and sitting down. "I know my place. I w

    Wayne woke up to the strong smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils. Slowly, he sat up. "President Gray," his secretary approached, reaching out to help. Wayne waved his hand dismissively. "No need." After taking a moment to steady himself, he asked, "How is Christopher?" "He's not in any life-threatening danger. He had a minor surgery and is currently unconscious but stable," the secretary replied. "You have a mild concussion. The doctor said you need rest. Maybe you should sleep a bit more?" Wayne's thoughts drifted to Belinda , recalling the blood on her leg. He pressed his lips together and, after a moment of silence, asked, "How is Belinda?" "The doctor said she had a miscarriage. She has some minor scrapes but nothing serious. She woke up just before I came in. She's in the room next door," the secretary hesitated before adding, "Do you want me to call her over?" Wayne raised his hand, signaling that it wasn't necessary. His feelings were complicated. He had always f

    "Dad, Mom, you have to save me! If you don't, I'll definitely end up in jail," Adrian pleaded desperately, clutching onto Caroline. Andrew looked at his son with disappointment and asked coldly, "What did you do this time?" The word "this time" made it clear that this wasn't his first mistake. "I... I was just practicing for my driver's license. I thought I'd take my sister's car for a spin to learn, but I crashed it..." "What?!" Andrew nearly exploded with anger. "Last time, you almost blinded someone with a barbecue skewer. I had to spend money and apologize to resolve it. And now, just a few days later, you've caused trouble again. You don't even have your license yet, and you dared to drive? Are you tired of living?" "Andrew, please don't get so angry. He's your only son. You have to find a way to save him. He hasn't even finished his studies yet; he can't go to jail. If he does, what future will he have? The car belongs to Scarlett, right? Just say it was Scarlett driving...

    "I'm Bryan. Scarlett has been injured and is in the operating room," Bryan Willow said, standing at the door of the surgery room. Beatrice's heart leapt into her throat. "What happened? Is my daughter hurt?" Bryan nodded. "Yes." "Which hospital?" Beatrice was frantic, her worry detectable. "The Second District Hospital." "Got it," Beatrice said, hanging up the phone and hurrying to catch a cab to the hospital. At the hospital. Inside the operating room, Scarlett clutched the doctor's sleeve. "Is there any hope for my baby?" After the examination, it was confirmed that one of the babies couldn't be saved and had already been lost. However, the other one still had a chance. "Are you sure you want to try to save it?" the doctor asked. Scarlett's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her lips cracked and bleeding. She rasped, "Yes, please. Do whatever you can." The doctor nodded. "I'll do my best." The doctor performing the surgery on Scarlett was the top gynecologist at the Sec

    Wayne took the file, which contained information on Scarlett and frowned. "Is this the driver responsible for the accident?" The driver he saw was a boy! His secretary, unaware of why Wayne's expression had changed, replied honestly, "The car involved in the accident is registered under Miss Norman..." "Just because it's registered under her name, does that mean she was driving?" Wayne got out of bed, glaring coldly at the secretary. "Is Scarlett the person you reprimanded?" The secretary lowered her head, not daring to make a sound. "I'm asking you a question!" Wayne was furious! The secretary had no choice but to answer, "Yes." Wayne was so angry he was breathing heavily. The secretary quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well." Wayne ignored her and quickly walked out. Belinda was waiting at the door, wanting to see Wayne.After the car accident, she had a legitimate reason to claim that her child was not at fault. Surely, Wayne wouldn't have anything to say

    "Does it hurt?" It really did hurt back then. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the agony of losing a child. She lowered her eyes, refusing to respond. Wayne grabbed her hand, preventing her from moving, and leaned down to kiss her lips. "Mmm... Are you crazy?!" Wayne smirked, his eyes filled with a mischievous glint. "When I speak, you answer. It's called manners. If you don't understand manners, I'll teach you. That kiss was a punishment. If you continue to resist me silently, I'll punish you even more harshly." He added, "And I mean it." Scarlett, injured and desperate to protect her unborn child, didn't dare to resist too fiercely. Even though she loathed Wayne at this moment. She could only feel anger but dared not express it. She had lost her child because Belinda had performed an genetic testing without her consent, and Wayne’s subordinates had mistaken her for the driver who caused the accident, beating her until she miscarried. To her, both

    Wayne turned his head and glanced at Belinda, his voice icy. "Bring him in." Belinda was stunned, her heart pounding with anxiety. "Doctor? What doctor?" Wayne sat down on the sofa in the hospital room, crossing his legs elegantly. "Didn't you say you had a miscarriage? The doctor who performed the procedure ran off without a trace? Well, I brought him back." Belinda nearly collapsed to the floor in fear. After the car accident, she was the first to wake up. She had spent a large sum of money to bribe the doctor, instructing him to tell Wayne's secretary that she had miscarried. Then the doctor took the money and disappeared. And now he was brought back? "Wayne, listen to me..." "In a moment, you'll have your chance to speak. Don't rush." Suddenly, he leaned forward, the intense pressure of his presence sweeping over her. Belinda's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground, trembling. She crawled forward slowly, cautiously grabbing Wayne's trouser pants leg. "Please, don't li

    A nightlight cast a dim glow in the hospital room. The light was faint and drowsy. Wayne made sure Scarlett was sound asleep before he closed the door and walked to her bedside. He kept his head down. Over the past few days, Scarlett had regained some color. Her cheeks were smooth and soft like warm jade, her pink lips were delicate and rosy, and her black hair lay scattered, with a stray lock resting on her brow, adding a touch of allure. Wayne couldn't help but reach out and gently caress her cheek. His fingertips brushed against her skin, feeling its silky texture. His brow furrowed slightly. Perhaps it tickled, as Scarlett turned her head and moved a bit. Wayne quickly withdrew his hand. "Mmm—" Scarlett turned over, her back now facing him as she continued to sleep on her side. As she turned, she pulled the blanket with her. Wayne carefully covered her again, then lay down beside her in the narrow space, also on his side, facing her. He buried his face into the back of

    If it weren't for the fact that Scarlett was injured, he might have strangled her right then and there. Marrying him, did she have to endure such humiliation? Scarlett pretended not to hear him. But her trembling eyelashes betrayed the fact that she was still awake. Wayne closed his eyes, forcing himself to suppress his anger. He took a deep breath, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to touch her face. Scarlett couldn't hold back and turned her head away. Wayne chuckled, "Not pretending anymore?" "Pretending? I just woke up," she said lazily, stretching on purpose. "What do you want?" "You're my wife. Of course, I have to check on you," he replied, still smiling. "Has Mrs. Robert been taking good care of you lately?" Scarlett nodded. Mrs. Robert was indeed wonderful, taking care of her meticulously. Her quick recovery was largely thanks to Mrs. Robert. "When will you be discharged?" he asked. Scarlett would rather stay in the hospital than go back to the vill

    Wayne glanced out the window, his stern face devoid of any expression. Only when he thought of someone did a hint of warmth appear. "To the Norman Family." " yes sir, he replied and headed towards the Norman Family residence. In no time, they arrived at the residence. Wayne got out of the car. "Leave the keys. You can go back." "Yes, sir." The driver parked the car and handed over the keys. Wayne took them and walked towards the house. The living room was empty and quiet; Scarlett was nowhere to be seen. He frowned slightly. Could she be out? No, that didn’t make sense. She wouldn’t take the baby out after just finding him. He began searching room by room, starting downstairs and then moving upstairs. Finally, when he pushed open one of the doors, he saw Scarlett.She was lying on her side on the bed, gently patting the baby, trying to lull him to sleep. He walked in quietly, his movements as light as possible, yet Scarlett still noticed someone entering. She turned her he

    Before the lawyer could even begin reading the contents, Caroline couldn't wait any longer. She snatched the document from him, eagerly opening it to browse through the contents. Her heart was filled with joy and anticipation, dreaming of inheriting all the Norman Family's assets. However... The more she read, the paler her face became. By the end, her face was completely drained of color. "No, this can't be. Andrew would never do this to me. This must be fake. It has to be fake!" She screamed in madness, tearing the document to shreds. The lawyer didn't stop her because it was just a copy, not the original. It didn't matter if she tore it up. "You must have all conspired against me!" She glared at the lawyer and then turned her gaze to Scarlett and Beatrice. "You two! It must be you two behind this!" Scarlett couldn't be bothered to waste words with her. She signaled the lawyer to read the will. Caroline wasn't about to give up easily, but Adrian held her back and said, "Mom,

    As she spoke, she noticed Scarlett holding a tiny baby in her arms. She quickly walked over and asked, "Where did this baby come from?" Before she could answer, she guessed, "Is it your friend's?" "It's mine," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert's eyes widened. "Young Mistress... what did you say? Whose child is this?" Quickly, she thought of something. "Could it be the Master's?" Scarlett shook her head. "No." "What?!" Mrs. Robert was flabbergasted. "If it's not the Master's, then whose is it? Did you have a child with another man?" Scarlett didn't deny it. "Yes." "Scarlett," a deep, anger-laden voice sounded from behind her. Scarlett turned around to see Old Master Gray standing on the steps at the doorway, leaning on his cane. From his expression, it was clear he had heard Mrs. Robert's words. His face was ashen, and he spoke in a steady, yet stern voice, "Come with me." After speaking, she walked inside and headed towards Wayne's study. Butler Ronald glanced at Scarle

    It was Adrian! "Adrian!" Caroline rushed over in a panic, terrified that something terrible had happened to her son. She lifted the metal frame and cradled her unconscious son, patting his cheeks. "Adrian, wake up! Please don't scare me like this, please..." Caroline was genuinely crying. Adrian was her only son, and all her hopes were pinned on him. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't be able to live on. Everything she did was for her son! "Are you stupid? Why did you save that woman who's fighting you for the inheritance?Scarlett's knee was bleeding heavily from the impact, but she ignored her own injury and took out her phone to call 911. She limped over, wanting to check Adrian's condition. Caroline, thinking Scarlett meant harm, pushed her away. "Don't touch my son!"Scarlett stumbled from the push. "If you don't want your son to be in danger, let me take a look. I'm a doctor; I won't hurt him," she said coldly. Caroline, still holding her son and crying, accused

    "It's not up to you to decide who gets the Norman family's inheritance, Caroline. I will find out how my dad really died, and if you had anything to do with it, I won't let you off," Scarlett said coldly. Caroline had just returned, "If you dare to fight my son for the inheritance, I won't let you off either!" "Mom..." Adrian tried to persuade her. Andrew had just passed away, and here they were, arguing heatedly in front of his body. How could the deceased rest in peace? "Adrian, I'm telling you, don't let your father brainwash you. I'm the one closest to you. What does Scarlett have to do with you?" Caroline snapped. Adrian always sided with Scarlett, which made her very unhappy. She believed that Adrian's behavior was all Andrew's fault. He had instilled the wrong ideas in their son! Half-siblings, what kind of bond could they have? Given her own conflicts with Scarlett, it was destined that Adrian could never see Scarlett as family! And now, with the inheritance dispute,

    Scarlett explained in a soft voice.Wayne only had a rough idea of what happened. After all, Caroline had chosen a remote location, and Wayne was clueless about what transpired in between. Hearing Scarlett say that Caroline had tried to harm her, Wayne's nerves tightened. "Are you hurt?" he asked. Scarlett shook her head. Thinking about Julian's injury, Wayne felt reassured. She was skilled with a scalpel; it wasn't easy to harm or capture her. However, she was still a girl, and no matter how smart, her physical strength had its limits. "Be careful from now on," he advised. "If anything happens, contact me immediately." "Okay," Scarlett replied, her clear, bright eyes blinking. "Wayne, I..." She wanted to tell him that she had given birth to a child. But as the words reached her lips, she hesitated, unsure of how to begin. "What's wrong?" Wayne asked. she lowered her head, trying to find the right words in her mind. "It's about last time. I had something important

    Andrew had it all figured out. Once Scarlett vented her anger, he could ask her to take care of Adrian, and she wouldn't be able to refuse him. He had already planned everything. The distribution of the Norman Family's assets was settled in his will. No matter how hard Caroline tried, it would be futile. Caroline knew Andrew didn't have much love for her, but she never expected him to be so cold-hearted as to use the inheritance to threaten her into confessing for Scarlett. "I've been with you for almost twenty years. Don't you have any trust in me? I've told you, I didn't..." "Just tell me, are you going to confess or not?" Andrew cut her off, having no patience for her excuses. Caroline stood there, trembling all over. Though their relationship had never been particularly loving, they had always been seen together, and he had been gentle and considerate towards her. How could he be so heartless now? "I gave you a son!" she shouted, her voice breaking. Andrew remained

    At this moment, his gaze at Scarlett was so intense it felt like it could tear her apart. If looks could kill, she would undoubtedly be dead by now! "I was just..." Scarlett began to explain. But Wayne abruptly stood up, clearly unwilling to hear any of her words or excuses, and stormed out of the dining room. Scarlett tightly pressed her lips together and didn't follow him. Wayne was furious right now; if she approached him, he wouldn't listen to her calmly. It was better to let him cool down first. She would explain once he had calmed down. "Achoo—" Scarlett covered her mouth as she sneezed! Mrs. Robert noticed and asked, "Are you catching a cold?" Scarlett nodded. Mrs. Robert went to get her some cold medicine. "Thank you," Scarlett said. Mrs. Robert smiled warmly, "You're Mr. Gray's wife. Taking care of you is part of my job." At the mention of Wayne, Scarlett lowered her eyes. She put the pill in her mouth and washed it down with water. After eating, she changed i

    Scarlett knew that someone like Julian, a pampered rich kid, was terrified of death. "Let me go," she said calmly, her tone direct. Julian refused to budge. "I don't believe you'd dare to kill me." He thought Scarlett, just a girl, wouldn't have the guts to do it! But what he didn't know was that as a doctor, someone who dared to use a scalpel, she was anything but timid. Scarlett pressed the sharp edge of the broken glass into his skin. Julian felt the pain and touched the warm, sticky blood, his face turning pale with fear "You... you really dare?" He was so nervous he could barely speak! "You wanted to ruin me, and if I don't have the guts to fight back, then I deserve it, don't I?" Scarlett, with the precision of a surgeon, applied just the right amount of pressure. Julian felt intense pain and saw a lot of blood, making it look severe, but it wasn't life-threatening. This was all about her choice of location! As a doctor, she knew the human body well! She kn
