Chapter 1

Just as Sophie Lord walked out of the doctor’s office, she called her husband, Luke Shaw, excitedly.However, as soon as she made the call, a familiar ringtone rang out in the crowd.Startled, she looked ahead and saw a scene that nearly caused her to have a mental breakdown.Luke, who had claimed to be on a business trip and unable to accompany her to the hospital, was there.Beside him stood a girl with a slightly bulged belly, holding his hand and placing it gently on her stomach.Moments later, a look of surprise and relief appeared on Luke’s face.It was the expression Sophie had imagined countless times when he would find out she was pregnant with his child.But now...She stood frozen, feeling as though something had lodged in her throat, leaving her unable to utter a single word.Even as the ringtone ended, Luke didn’t withdraw his hand to answer the call.With trembling hands, Sophie redialed his number, unwilling to give up.This time, Luke finally moved.He pulle

Chapter 2

What Sophie didn’t expect was that Luke reacted faster than her.He shielded Helen and pushed her back with force.Pain shot through her shoulder as she fell heavily to the ground.Shock, disbelief, and despair overwhelmed her heart like sharp knives stabbing straight into it.He valued that child so much that he actually pushed her for Helen...Luke stared at his hand in shock, wanting to explain but unable to find the words.Watching his helpless expression, Sophie suddenly laughed, tears mingling with her laughter.“Luke, is this what you mean by you love me?”Then she turned to Helen and asked, “And you, is this how you repay me?”The repeated questioning left both Luke and Helen silent.Sophie, her face pale, looked at Luke with lifeless eyes and asked one last question.“If you say you didn’t mean to betray me, then who do you choose—the child or me?”Perhaps out of guilt, Luke didn’t dare meet her gaze.After a long pause, he answered with pain in his voice, “Sophie

Chapter 3

When Sophie woke up again, she was already lying in a hospital bed.Dr. Clinton’s eyes were slightly red, filled with regret. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t save the baby. But you’ll definitely be pregnant with another child...”For years, Dr. Clinton had been following Sophie’s case, so no one understood better how much Sophie had endured.After the surgery, Dr. Clinton overheard some nurses gossiping and learned about what had happened outside the office.She felt deeply upset on Sophie’s behalf, but as a doctor, there were things she couldn’t say. All she could do was offer her powerless comfort.Sophie stared blankly at the ceiling and murmured softly, “No, there won’t be a next time...”Dr. Clinton sighed, reminded her to rest well, and then left the room.Once the room was empty, Sophie pulled the blanket over her face and cried uncontrollably.She had once been so overjoyed, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of this child, and now she felt equally devastated.Her heart fel

Chapter 4

At that moment, Sophie's phone buzzed with a message from her Prof. Brown."Sophie, the visa has been approved. I've booked a flight for you tomorrow night. Get ready—your colleagues are all excited to see you."A warmth filled Sophie's heart, and her eyes grew moist without her realizing it.No matter how many years had passed, only Prof. Brown and her profession had never betrayed her.She wiped away the thin tears at the corner of her eyes and quickly replied, "Thank you, Prof. Brown. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you as well."When Sophie stepped back into her house, a sense of disorientation washed over her, as though she were stepping into a different lifetime.In just a few days, her entire life had been turned upside down.The house was eerily quiet, a clear sign that Luke hadn't been home during her absence.But since she had decided to leave, there was no point in caring about that anymore.After standing dazed for a while, Sophie finally started clearing out

Chapter 5

Luke's mother noticed Sophie's silence and frowned slightly, inserting herself into the conversation."Don’t worry, Sophie. We've agreed that once the child is born, we'll cut ties with Helen. I'll take care of the baby myself and ensure it doesn't interfere with your and Luke's life."Besides... If you hadn't discovered this suddenly, it wouldn't have turned into such a messy situation. This is actually better for everyone. After all, you've been married for five years and still haven't been able to have a child..."Her words struck Sophie like a hammer, smashing into her heart and causing her eyes to turn red with pain.So, they had all known about this—every single one of them—except her. She was the only one they had deliberately kept in the dark.Why, then, should she have to pay for Luke's mistakes? Why should she be morally coerced into forgiving them?Sophie's body trembled with rage as she slapped Luke hard across the face and roared, "Get out! I will never forgive you!

Chapter 6

While Sophie was lost in thought, Helen sent her another message, along with a photo of Luke's profile."Sophie, I've won again. I only cried a little, and Mr. Shaw immediately left you to come to me. It shows how much he's looking forward to our child..."In the photo, Luke's expression was tense, clearly portraying the image of a caring father.Sophie's nails dug deeply into her palms. It took her a long time to calm down before replying."So why did you choose to be a mistress and destroy someone else's marriage? Haven't I helped you enough? Where is your dignity and self-respect?"Helen quickly responded, her tone dripping with malice."Because I can't stand your condescending attitude, like you're doing me a favor. You're only proud because you have a good husband. So I decided to take him away!""Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Luke's father isn't sick at all. They just used that as an excuse to get you out of the way so they could have this child! Blame your own use

Chapter 7

The next morning, Sophie returned to the office.However, she didn't expect to run into Luke and Helen while getting on the elevator.Seeing the woman who had claimed to be so unwell the day before, Sophie couldn't help but sneer.Luke also clearly remembered the excuse from last night, and his face was filled with embarrassment.He hesitated for a moment, then quickly moved to stand next to Sophie, offering the bag in his hand in a flattering manner."Sophie, have you had breakfast? I brought you your favorite cake."Sophie hadn't had time to eat yet, so she casually took the bag without saying a word of thanks.As she watched Luke carefully trying to please her, Helen's eyes flashed with jealousy.She shot a glance at Luke and couldn't help but mutter resentfully, "Sophie, Mr. Shaw had to drive half an hour to get you this. Don't you think it's a bit ungrateful of you not to even say 'thank you'? Doesn't this seem like you're taking Mr. Shaw's kindness for granted?"Upon hea

She quickly stepped forward, grabbed Helen by the collar, and roared angrily, “Where are my drafts? Hurry up and give it back to me!”Helen struggled desperately, appearing innocent and wronged, but in reality, the corners of her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile filled with provocation.She even mouthed silently, out of the crowd's view, towards Sophie. “I destroyed them!”Sophie could no longer suppress the fury in her heart and slapped her hard across the face.Helen’s face was instantly covered in tears as she wailed, “Mr. Shaw... Mr. Shaw... help me... I didn’t...”But the more she spoke, the angrier Sophie became. Her hands refused to stop, venting all the pent-up resentment in her heart.She had always treated everyone sincerely, so why did they have to treat her like this?She truly couldn’t understand and couldn’t make sense of it!Luke, worried that something might happen, rushed over immediately and tried to separate the two quarreling women.“Sophie, let go.

Chapter 9

After leaving the company, Sophie rushed back home.She packed her luggage and headed straight to the airport without hesitation, leaving behind a signed divorce agreement and a pregnancy test report.While waiting for her flight, Linda called Sophie.She hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to answer.As soon as the call connected, Linda impatiently started berating her."Sophie, you troublemaker! You're a lonely orphan, and now you want the Shaw family to end with you too? You're just useless. I'm telling you, if anything happens to the child in Helen's womb, I'll make sure my son divorces you, and you'll be left for dead!"Sophie felt a sharp pain in her heart as she listened.She was an orphan, without any family.For the past five years, she had genuinely treated Luke's family as her own.She believed she had done her best to play the role of a good daughter-in-law, always caring for them and being considerate.But now, Linda was stabbing her heart with such ven

Chapter 10

At that moment, Luke was sitting outside the examination room with his mother, waiting for Helen.But his mind kept involuntarily drifting back to Sophie's expression earlier.And the words she said was something about not waiting for him anymore.Did Sophie mean that she wouldn't listen to his explanation anymore?‘No! That's impossible!’Luke shook his head lightly and smiled, quickly dismissing the thought, assuming he had misread the situation.Because no one understood better than him how much Sophie valued this relationship.It wasn't until the sound of a new message notification on his phone that Luke came back to his senses.He pulled out his phone and saw that the message was from Sophie, and a smile immediately spread across his face.He knew it—Sophie couldn't bear to leave him.Luke quickly unlocked his phone and opened the message, and the text was the first thing that caught his eye.When his gaze fell on the word "divorce," the smile on his face instantly froz
