During a fight with my husband, he shoved me. My stomach bumped into the couch’s armrest. Just then, his childhood friend called him, sobbing. “Caleb, hurry, come to Cloudpeak Hotel and save me! My boss got me drunk, and now he’s forcing me to serve our client…” I nearly blacked out from the twisting pain in my stomach. I begged him to take me to the hospital. However, my husband said, “There’s a life at stake here! Can you not be so cruel?” He left, slamming the door behind him. I had no choice but to call for an ambulance. That night, he spent the night with his childhood friend, while I lay in the operating theater, undergoing emergency surgery. Good news, Caleb Gordon! You'd never have children again! Weren’t you glad? You deserved it!

Chapter 2
He still had not replied to my messages, though. It was clear he never read them.Only in the afternoon did Caleb finally drive to the hospital. He looked impatient from the moment he walked into the room.“Ella Swann, could you just stop for a minute? Threatening divorce and checking into the hospital, are you trying to threaten me with the baby again? What if the baby can’t withstand all that torment?!“Luna is like a sister to me. We grew up together! What’s wrong with me helping her out last night when she was in danger? Stop jumping to the wrong conclusions all the time!”So he still remembered the baby. Unfortunately, the baby was dead now.He was a boy who looked a lot like Caleb. I turned my head away.“Caleb, the baby is gone. You don’t have to worry about me threatening you with it anymore. Just sign the divorce papers.”I could hear Caleb’s breath catching in his throat. The next second, however, he scoffed. “You will really stop at nothing for your jealousy, huh? How

I did not care who he was with anymore.As expected, Caleb did not show up for the next few days. He did not even text me.On the day I was discharged from the hospital, however, I found him waiting for me in the carpark. I immediately turned to leave, but he gave chase. He stood in my way and grabbed my things.“Get into the car.” His tone was overbearing, as always.It was pointless to argue with him. I rolled my eyes and got into the backseat.A strong and familiar scent of perfume wafted over from the passenger seat. It was Luna’s favorite brand.I used to smell this scent in the car often. Every time, I would agitatedly ask Caleb what was going on. Today, however, I just glanced at the front passenger seat before looking away without a word.Caleb stood outside the car, glancing at my stomach before scoffing. “So you stopped pretending after a few days in the hospital?”It was almost winter, and my body was weak after the miscarriage. I did not want to catch a cold, so I

He also turned pale when he saw the bloodied steel pipe sticking out of my body.“Ella, t-the baby…” Caleb’s voice was trembling.My lips twitched. Somehow I found the energy to mock him. “Believe it or not, Caleb, our baby is long gone…”The pipe had gone through my belly. Even if I had not been induced earlier, there was no way the baby could have survived.I was heartbroken. In order to conceive, I had done so much research that I knew as much theory as a freshly graduated obstetrician. I knew that the chances were high that I would lose my womb.I would never become a mother again.Caleb’s gaze was manic. He wanted to pick me up, but he did not dare to touch me when he saw the long steel pipe. His expression was distraught. “Don’t worry, honey, I’ll find a way to save you right now!“I’ll take you to the hospital! You and the baby will be fine, I promise…”I had not heard him call me “honey” for almost three years. What a blast from the past…I closed my eyes amidst the ir

Chapter 5
I took their scolding on the nose, borrowed fifty thousand dollars, and went to the hospital for IVF treatments.I spent most of the next four years in hospitals doing checkups and taking care of my body at home, trying to conceive. I moved my career online. Sometimes, I would find time to help Caleb at his company, sharing some of his burden.With my help, Caleb’s company grew steadily. Three years ago, it finally went public and became a rising star in the local business scene.That day, Caleb was carted home drunk. As soon as he walked into the door, he hugged me and ranted, “Honey, we finally… don’t have to worry about money anymore… Your husband finally became rich…”He grabbed a handful of cash and threw it into the air. The notes drifted down onto him, me… and the woman at the door.“Nice to meet you, Ella. I’m Luna James, Caleb’s childhood friend.”The one who had brought him home was Luna, his childhood friend who had been missing for years. From the moment I laid eyes o

“If she had gotten to the hospital two minutes later, she would have died along with her baby! You lost your kid ages ago. Don’t try to blame someone else now!”Caleb froze, looking like his world had fallen apart. “N-No, that can’t be… Wasn’t she six months along? How could she have suddenly…“I just pushed her lightly. I didn’t even use any strength…”Dr. Shay was livid. “So you’re the one who pushed her! So much for not using any strength! Her uterus was torn and her baby died instantly! How dare you make a fuss now!”With that, she ignored Caleb completely, throwing him aside and checking on my wounds. “Are you dizzy? Does it hurt anywhere else?“Don’t worry, I’ve called the internal medicine specialists. The hospital will send an ambulance right away. The fire department will have to disinfect the pipe and cut it out of your belly, too. They’re already on the way as well…”I nodded weakly because I had no strength to speak.As the doctor checked on me, I saw Caleb approachi

Chapter 7
When Caleb walked into the room, I immediately turned my head and closed my eyes. I did not want to say anything to him. I heard someone approaching me, but before they could say anything, there was a commotion outside the door. The next second, someone else rushed inside. “Caleb!”Caleb sounded surprised. “Why did you come here? Go back!”I opened my eyes and turned back with a frown, just in time to see Caleb pushing Luna out of the room by her shoulders.Luna had actually found her way here. When she saw me, she grinned smugly. She even instinctively stuck out her stomach, pretending to support it with her hand.I narrowed my eyes. That gesture was quite familiar. As expected, Luna soon put on her familiar pitiful look. “Caleb, you've ignored me for seven days now. You can throw me away if you really want to, but are you going to abandon our baby too?”I could not help but laugh out loud. So she was pregnant. No wonder she came here to show off. Was that what she told h

“It’s because Caleb barely has any live sperm left! The doctors took more than ten samples and searched forever to find a single living swimmer!“I don’t know if he’s lucky or unlucky, but that sole survivor actually managed to fertilize my egg successfully. “But then… hahaha… Caleb killed the baby with his own hands! Hahaha…”I could not help but burst out laughing. I laughed like a maniac until tears flowed down my face.“Ahhh!” Caleb screamed and pounced at me, throttling my neck. “I order you to shut up! Stop talking!”I could not breathe. I glared at him, my expression distorted. “Kill me if you dare! You killed your baby, and now you’re going to kill me?! Do you have the balls? Do it if you’re a man! Kill me!”I admit, I had lost it. Even so, I had to express the emotion suppressed in my heart, or I would actually go mad for real!Caleb stiffened and slowly let go. The air returned to my lungs, and I held my neck, coughing. Eventually, I grinned tragically at Luna, who ha

“Your injury is serious, and you haven't fully recovered yet. You should stay under observation for a few more days.”I hurriedly shook my head and insisted on leaving. I had had enough of this hospital and Caleb's disgusting face! Right now, I just wanted to get as far away from here as possible.Dr. Shay had no choice but to discharge me.I did not know where Caleb went after I chased him out of my room. In any case, he did not show up when I left the hospital. I called my assistant to rent a simple apartment and hire a cook for me. My focus now was to recover as fast as I could. I did not want Caleb disturbing me, so I blocked his number and refused any unknown calls. After resting in peace for more than a month, my wound was finally mostly healed.After leaving Caleb, I even gained a few pounds. My body was no longer as skinny and haggard as before.I decided to take back my things the next day. I did not leave anything too valuable behind. However, there were some present

“I'm sorry, honey… It was all my fault…”I pressed a hand to my chest, gritting my teeth. “I don't need your apology. It's worthless to me.“All I want is for you to get the hell out of my life!”The camera's speakers were on, so Caleb could hear my words crystal clear from the direction of the camera.He jolted and turned to look at the camera, his face lighting up with pleasant surprise. “Honey, is that you? Are you finally willing to talk to me?“I'm sorry, honey. Please come back. I… I'll find some way to make it up to you…”I refused to talk to him. Just as I was about to turn off the camera, Caleb hurriedly said, “Don't go, honey! Hear me out. “I've broken things off with Luna. You're right, she tricked me. Her baby isn't mine, it's… her boss’. She admitted everything, and I even got an amniotic paternity test done…“I swear, honey, I won't look at any other woman from now on. You're the only one I love!”I burst out laughing. “Who are you trying to fool, Caleb? You'll
