After being cooped up at home for half a month, Nancy finally agreed to do some window shopping with Anna.Anna was already six months pregnant, so her baby bump was very obvious. Nancy could tell Anna had gained some weight, but she was still not fat. In fact, her chubby face just made her all the cuter!"Nancy, why don't you like coming out anymore? I wanted to ask you out for the longest time, but Yaacob said you need to rest more because of how sickly you are.""Yeah. The doctor said there's a risk that I might lose the baby.""Nonsense, you look healthy. Though your face is kinda pale, that doesn't mean you should stay cooped up at home the whole day. The baby needs fresh air too. Look at me, I walk at least two hours every day, and I look healthier than you."Anna had been sharing pregnancy tips with Nancy as if she was well experienced, which she was, given how much healthier she looked than Nancy.However, the reason Nancy had not been feeling that well was because Yaacob

"Umm, I'm really living a good life here, so I don't need you to save me," said Nancy to Benjamin.Even though Yaacob had been acting weird lately, she would not leave him because of that. Similarly, the paternity test could say Benjamin was her father, but the fact of the matter was he did not fulfill his duty as a father.In fact, she had no memory of him at all, whereas Yaacob was always there when she needed him the most. He was the only person who gave her love and stability after her grandfather passed away. Thus, she was not going to leave him just because Benjamin kept egging her to do so.After she hung up the phone, Nancy wanted to read a book to kill time. She went to Yaacob's study and picked up a book about Sherlock Holmes. She sat down on Yaacob's chair and happened to see the locked drawer on the left side of the desk. She did not think it was weird for Yaacob to keep that drawer locked since there were so many nosy family members living together under one big roof.

Yaacob wanted to call the private doctor over immediately, but the pale Nancy held his hand and said, "I'm bleeding."Thus, he had no choice but to send Nancy to the hospital.After completing a series of examinations, the doctor told him, "Mr. Getson, your wife has an ectopic pregnancy."Yaacob refused to believe him. His throat tightened as he asked, "So?""So, we recommend performing surgery as soon as possible," the doctor told him solemnly."She had already done a few check-ups before, and all said she was fine.""It may not be detected at the beginning, because an ectopic pregnancy usually shows up as the fallopian tube rupturing after 40 days, resulting in excessive bleeding. I'm afraid we have to terminate the pregnancy. We hope you can convince your wife that the surgery must be performed as soon as possible for the sake of her own life."Yaacob did not return to the ward immediately after talking to the doctor.He went to smoke two more cigarettes. It was rare for him

"Nine times out of ten, what you heard is what Kristine wanted you to hear. Most people would prefer to keep their evil plan from others, and yet she revealed her whole plan to you. So I think she must have an ulterior motive," said Nancy."What ulterior motive could she possibly have? Wait a minute… Could it be that she's going to kill Xander because they're not in it together?" said Anna hopefully. However, Nancy did not even need to say anything before she refuted the idea herself. "But Xander didn't turn her down! He must know she's Crystal's younger sister, and yet he pretended he didn't know who she was. So he did lie to me and my dad!"Nancy did not know what to say. It was not her place to speculate or meddle in Anna's family affairs. She had learned her lesson after the incident with Randall and Rowena.Unfortunately, Anna herself did not know what to do, so she kept asking Nancy, "What should I do?""You're a big girl now. You should come up with a solution yourself.""B

"What… what are you talking about? I don't understand," said Anna, even though she knew full well what he was talking about.'Does he know? That's impossible… No… How did he know?' thought Anna. Her heart was beating really fast. She quickly put her trembling hands behind her back and took a deep breath to compose herself. Nancy had once told her that Anna's biggest weakness was her inability to stay calm under pressure.Tried as she might, her guilt was still as clear as day for Xander to see. However, Xander did not continue. Instead, he circled back to the original topic of changing the company's name."I'm definitely going to change the company's name, and if you don't like it, you can buy back the company shares. Then you can do whatever you want about the company," said Xander. He knew Anna did not have a penny to her name."Those shares were mine to begin with. You're the one who stole it from me!" complained Anna."Anna, nothing in this world was yours to begin with. You'r
