00:00:04I had meticulously planned our 9th wedding anniversary party even going so far as to
00:00:11invite numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself
00:00:18upstairs outside the study door, watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary.
00:00:23Natalie was nestled against Jack's chest, her face flushed with post-intimacy satisfaction.
00:00:28When are you going to make our relationship public? Natalie asked breathlessly, her voice
00:00:34sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace. Jack took her hand in his.
00:00:39Soon. He replied. When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious.He grabbed
00:00:45the wine glass beside him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in the forehead.
00:00:50Who gave you permission to spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and
00:00:56tumbling down the stairs, curling up in pain at the bottom.He and Natalie stood on the
00:01:00second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child. From now on,
00:01:07you take care of her meals. Three different dishes every day, no repeats. You help her
00:01:14have a safe delivery. And pack your things. Move from our bedroom to the guest room. You're
00:01:21nothing more than Natalie's nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my feet and grabbing
00:01:27the suitcase I had already packed. I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler moved
00:01:31to stop me, but Jack laughed coldly. Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark
00:01:39my words,
00:01:39within three days. She'll come crawling back, begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished
00:01:47speaking, the guest's present began to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion,
00:01:53Jack suddenly called after me. Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares
00:02:00lately. That necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes, his tone
00:02:05remained ice-cold. How much money will it take for you to give Natalie that necklace? Nine years of
00:02:12marriage, living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be bothered to calculate,
00:02:18but I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage and have
00:02:23his
00:02:23bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings, I removed the
00:02:29necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck, saying to her. I wish you and the baby your caring
00:02:37health and safety. Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression softened slightly, offering me a small
00:02:43concession. As long as you behave yourself, my child will be your child too. The moment he finished
00:02:50speaking, the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and shattered on the floor. Seeing that the
00:02:56fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her up in his arms, carrying her princess-style
00:03:01to a chair while barking orders at the butler to call the family doctor. His frantic concern made
00:03:07everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement. The whole scene was so absurd that even
00:03:12I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife were dying. It wouldn't matter as much as
00:03:18his
00:03:18mistress getting a tiny scratch. I gripped the handle of my suitcase tighter and turned to leave,
00:03:23but Jack grabbed my wrist, his voice frigid. Apologize. What? Before I could finish, he dragged
00:03:29me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet. Damn, my knees scraped against the jade fragments,
00:03:35blood staining the white marble floor. Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust,
00:03:40and he released his grip. You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace and injured her. Don't you owe her an
00:03:48apology? After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase. I bit
00:03:54my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie, saying I'm
00:04:00sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference. Is that enough? He stared at
00:04:07the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling. Stop putting on that disgusting, pitiful act.
00:04:14Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor
00:04:20to Natalie's side. While his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion,
00:04:25just as I reached the entrance. I heard two crisp car horns. Seeing the Maybach outside the iron gates,
00:04:31I quickened my pace, but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out and
00:04:37forcibly dragged me back into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a
00:04:44chair and ordered the staff to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open door, I
00:04:49heard
00:04:49the doctor speaking to Jack. Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have her negative blood type. But Mrs. Evelyn
00:04:59has a history of congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock. I suggest we
00:05:09transfer her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her anemia.
00:05:16Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold. Your job is to make Natalie better.
00:05:23I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
00:05:30Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort.
00:05:33Just bear with it a little longer. We'll be done soon.
00:05:38I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him. After drawing 800 milliliters of blood,
00:05:44my lips had turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing echoed from the master bedroom.
00:05:49Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle, demanding double the amount. The doctor
00:05:54was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him, saying that drawing more blood might kill me.
00:05:59Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only. Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first.
00:06:06But. I interrupted the doctor. Try it. Just let me leave afterward.
00:06:13Jack looked at my bloodless face, anger churning in his eyes, but he opened his mouth as if to ask
00:06:18whether I really intended to make such a scene by running away from home. But Natalie's sweet call
00:06:23of my darling instantly pulled his attention away. And I passed out from blood loss.
00:06:27I woke up on a hospital bed. Having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss,
00:06:32I saw Jack sitting beside the bed. Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for
00:06:37a long moment, he expressionlessly brought over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me.
00:06:42I shook my head. I can do it myself. Watching me eat half the bowl, Jack asked.
00:06:48Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my phone.
00:06:54Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the
00:06:59butler bring my phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of
00:07:03nowhere. Who called? He never asked about such things before. A flash of irritation crossed my
00:07:09eyes as I simply said. No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down
00:07:16at me. How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with
00:07:24your terrible attitude? In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own
00:07:30behavior while trying my best to appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone
00:07:36and reminded him emotionlessly. Natalie's calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with
00:07:43joy. Out of habit, he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call.
00:07:48As soon as he left, my phone rang. When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before
00:07:55I
00:07:55could say anything. Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts?
00:08:01No, I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
00:08:07An accident. What happened to you? I need to come back to
00:08:12the country immediately. I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
00:08:19Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone.
00:08:24He caught sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable
00:08:31tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby,
00:08:38so he didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often
00:08:44visited
00:08:44me after marrying into this family, my social circle had been reduced to only female relatives.
00:08:52He picked up his documents and said without looking back,
00:08:55I have some business at the company. I'll come back tomorrow.
00:09:00But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead,
00:09:07through mutual friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to galas and
00:09:14dinner parties. Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone. On the day I was
00:09:21discharged from the hospital. Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram. Under the sunset,
00:09:28he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss.
00:09:35I commented, wishing you both many children and eternal happiness. Ten minutes later, Jack called me.
00:09:43I didn't answer. Half an hour later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone. Outside the hospitals.
00:09:51Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and Natalie. They were being intimate again, completely.
00:09:58Oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand. Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her.
00:10:23I had meticulously planned our ninth wedding anniversary party even going so far as to invite
00:10:30numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself upstairs
00:10:36outside the study door. Watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary,

00:11:17Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child.

00:26:44I interrupted the doctor. Try it. Just let me leave afterward. Jack looked at my bloodless face,
00:26:51anger churning in his eyes, but he opened his mouth as if to ask whether I really intended to
00:26:56make such a scene by running away from home. But Natalie's sweet call of my darling, instantly
00:27:01pulled his attention away, and I passed out from blood loss. I woke up on a hospital bed,
00:27:06having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss. I saw Jack sitting beside the bed.
00:27:11Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment,
00:27:15he expressionlessly brought over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head.
00:27:19I can do it myself. Watching me eat half the bowl, Jack asked.
00:27:24Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my phone.
00:27:30Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler bring my
00:27:36phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere. Who called?
00:27:41He never asked about such things before to a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said.
00:27:48No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me. How long are
00:27:54you
00:27:54going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible attitude?
00:28:02In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while trying my best to
00:28:08appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly.
00:28:14Natalie's calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit,
00:28:21he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my
00:28:26phone rang.
00:28:27When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
00:28:33Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts? No, I'm not having second thoughts.
00:28:41There was just an accident. An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to.
00:28:48The country immediately. I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
00:28:55Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone.
00:29:01He caught sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable
00:29:07tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby,
00:29:14so he didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often
00:29:20visited
00:29:21me after marrying into this family, my social circle had been reduced to only female relatives.
00:29:28He picked up his documents and said without looking back. I have some business at the company.
00:29:34I'll come back tomorrow. But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared.
00:29:42Instead, through mutual friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie
00:29:50to galas and dinner parties. Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone.
00:29:56On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Jack posted a 9-photo grid on Instagram. Under the
00:30:03sunset, he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate
00:30:10kiss. I commented, wishing you both many children and eternal happiness. Ten minutes later, Jack called
00:30:18me. I didn't answer. Half an hour later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone.
00:30:26Outside the hospitals. Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and Natalie. They were being intimate again,
00:30:33completely. Oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand. Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her.
00:30:59I had meticulously planned our 9th wedding anniversary party even going so far as to invite numerous
00:31:07friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself upstairs outside the study
00:31:14door. Watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary, Natalie was nestled against
00:31:19Jack's chest, her face flushed with post-intimacy satisfaction. When are you going to make our
00:31:25relationship public? Natalie asked breathlessly, her voice sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace.
00:31:31Jack took her hand in his. Soon. He replied. When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately
00:31:38turned serious.He grabbed the wine glass beside him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in
00:31:44the forehead. Who gave you permission to spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling
00:31:50down the stairs, curling up in pain at the bottom.He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down
00:31:56at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child. From now on, you take care of her meals. Three different
00:32:04dishes every day. No repeats. You help her have a safe delivery. And pack your things. Move from our
00:32:14bedroom to the guest room. You re nothing more than Natalie's nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my
00:32:20feet and grabbing the suitcase I had already packed. I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler
00:32:26moved to stop me. But Jack laughed coldly. Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me.
00:32:33Mark my
00:32:33words. Within three days. She'll come crawling back. Begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished
00:32:42speaking, the guests present began to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion, Jack suddenly
00:32:49called after me. Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares lately. That
00:32:56necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes, his tone remained ice cold.
00:33:01How much money will it take for you? To give Natalie that necklace? Nine years of marriage,
00:33:08living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be bothered to calculate. But I
00:33:13knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage and have his bodyguards
00:33:19take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings, I removed the necklace and
00:33:24fastened it around Natalie's neck, saying to her. I wish you and the baby. You're carrying health and safety.
00:33:33Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression softened slightly, offering me a small concession. As long as you
00:33:40behave yourself, my child will be your child too. The moment he finished speaking, the necklace around Natalie's
00:33:47neck suddenly slipped and shattered on the floor. Seeing that the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately
00:33:53swept her up in his arms, carrying her princess-style to a chair while barking orders at the butler to
00:33:59call the
00:33:59family doctor. His frantic concern made everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement. The
00:34:05whole scene was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife were
00:34:10dying. It
00:34:11wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch. I gripped the handle of my suitcase tighter and
00:34:16turned to
00:34:17leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist, his voice frigid. Apologize. What? Before I could finish,
00:34:23he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet. Damn, my knees scraped against the
00:34:28jade fragments, blood staining the white marble floor. Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with
00:34:34disgust, and he released his grip. You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace and injured her. Don't you
00:34:42owe her an apology? After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my
00:34:48catchphrase. I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to
00:34:53Natalie. Saying I'm sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference. Is that enough?
00:35:01He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling. Stop putting on that disgusting,
00:35:07pitiful act. Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived in a rush. Jack shoved me aside and
00:35:14led the doctor to Natalie's side. While his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out
00:35:19of the mansion, just as I reached the entrance. I heard two crisp car horns. Seeing the Maybach outside
00:35:25the iron gates, I quickened my pace. But before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly
00:35:31rushed out and forcibly dragged me back into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack
00:35:37tied me to a chair and ordered the staff to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the
00:35:42half-open
00:35:43door, I heard the doctor speaking to Jack. Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have her negative blood type.
00:35:51But Mrs. Evelyn has a history of congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock.
00:36:01I suggest we transfer her to her hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her
00:36:10anemia. Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold. Your job is to make Natalie
00:36:17better. I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
00:36:24Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort. Just bear with it a little longer. We'll be
00:36:32done soon.
00:36:33I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him. After drawing 800 milliliters of blood, my lips
00:36:39had
00:36:39turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing echoed from the master bedroom. Jack immediately stopped the doctor
00:36:45from removing the needle, demanding double the amount. The doctor was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him,
00:36:51saying that drawing more blood might kill me. Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only.
00:36:57Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first. But. I interrupted the doctor. Draw it. Just let me leave
00:37:06afterward. Jack looked at my bloodless face, anger churning in his eyes, but he opened his mouth as if
00:37:12to ask whether I really intended to make such a scene by running away from home. But Natalie's sweet call
00:37:17of
00:37:17my darling. Instantly pulled his attention away, and I passed out from blood loss. I woke up on a
00:37:23hospital bed, having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss. I saw Jack sitting beside the
00:37:28bed. Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment, he expressionlessly brought
00:37:34over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head. I can do it myself. Watching
00:37:40me eat half
00:37:41the bowl, Jack asked. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my
00:37:48phone. Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler
00:37:54bring my phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere. Who
00:37:59called? He never asked about such things before. A flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said.
00:38:05No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me. How long are
00:38:12you
00:38:12going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible attitude?
00:38:21In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while trying my best to
00:38:26appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly.
00:38:32Natalie is calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit,
00:38:39he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my
00:38:45phone rang.
00:38:45When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
00:38:51Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts?
00:38:55No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
00:39:02An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to the country immediately.
00:39:09I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
00:39:13Just give me a few more days.
00:39:15When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone. He caught sight of the long-absent
00:39:21smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. But he had
00:39:28promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so he didn't have time to ask who
00:39:35I'd
00:39:35been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often visited me after marrying into this family,
00:39:42my social. Circle had been reduced to only female relatives. He picked up his documents and said
00:39:49without looking back. I have some business at the company. I'll come back tomorrow. But tomorrow,
00:39:55the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead, through mutual friends, I kept

00:49:21What happened to you?

00:52:12When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious.
00:52:16He grabbed the wine glass beside him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square
00:52:20in the forehead.
00:52:21Who gave you permission to spy on us?
00:52:24I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down the stairs, curling up in pain
00:52:29at the bottom.
00:52:30He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain.
00:52:34Natalie is carrying my child.
00:52:36From now on, you'll take care of her meals.
00:52:39Three different dishes every day, no repeats.
00:52:44You help her have a safe delivery and pack your things.
00:52:49Move from our bedroom to the guest room.
00:52:52You're nothing more than Natalie's nanny now.
00:52:55I said nothing, struggling to my feet and grabbing the suitcase I had already packed.
00:52:59I walked calmly toward the front door.
00:53:02The butler moved to stop me, but Jack laughed coldly.
00:53:05Let her make a scene.
00:53:06She could never bear to leave me.
00:53:09Mark my words.
00:53:11Within three days.
00:53:13She'll come crawling back.
00:53:15Begging for my forgiveness.
00:53:17As soon as he finished speaking, the guest's present began to snicker.
00:53:21Just as I was about to step out of the mansion, Jack suddenly called after me.
00:53:26Leave your cross necklace behind.
00:53:29Natalie's been having nightmares lately.
00:53:31That necklace was all I had left of my parents.
00:53:34Meeting my tear-filled eyes, his tone remained ice cold.
00:53:38How much money will it take for you?
00:53:40To give Natalie that necklace.
00:53:42Nine years of marriage.
00:53:44Living like dirt beneath his feet.
00:53:46What was that worth?
00:53:47I couldn't be bothered to calculate.
00:53:49But I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage and have
00:53:54his bodyguards take it by force.
00:53:56Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings, I removed the necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck,
00:54:03saying to her.
00:54:03I wish you and the baby, you're carrying health and safety.
00:54:09Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression softened slightly, offering me a small concession.
00:54:15As long as you behave yourself, my child will be your child too.
00:54:20The moment he finished speaking, the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and shattered on the floor.
00:54:26Seeing that the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her up in his arms, carrying her princess style
00:54:32to a chair while.
00:54:33Barking orders at the butler to call the family doctor, his frantic concern made everyone present look at me with
00:54:39barely concealed amusement.
00:54:41The whole scene was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife
00:54:46were dying.
00:54:47It wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch, I gripped the handle of my suitcase tighter
00:54:53and turned to leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist, his voice frigid.
00:54:57Apologize.
00:54:57What, before I could finish, he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet, damn my knees
00:55:04scraped against the jade fragments, blood staining the white marble floor.
00:55:08Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust, and he released his grip.
00:55:13You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace, and injured her.Don't you owe her an apology?
00:55:20After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase.
00:55:25I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie, saying I'm
00:55:31sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference.
00:55:35Is that enough?
00:55:37He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling.
00:55:42Stop putting on that disgusting pitiful act.
00:55:45Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor to
00:55:51Natalie's side, while his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion, just as I
00:55:57reached the entrance.
00:55:58I heard two crisp car horns, seeing the Maybach outside the iron gates, I quickened my pace, but before the
00:56:04gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out and forcibly dragged me back into the mansion.
00:56:11They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a chair and ordered the staff to use a
00:56:16thick needle to draw my blood.
00:56:18Through the half-open door, I heard the doctor speaking to Jack.
00:56:21Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have her negative blood type, but Mrs. Evelyn has a history of congenital heart
00:56:32disease.
00:56:34Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock.
00:56:38I suggest we transfer her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her anemia.
00:56:47Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold.
00:56:52Your job is to make Natalie better. I'll handle everything else.
00:56:57Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
00:57:01Does it hurt?
00:57:02His tone carried a rare note of comfort.
00:57:05Just bear with it a little longer. We'll be done soon.
00:57:09I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him.
00:57:13After drawing 800 milliliters of blood, my lips had turned purple just then.
00:57:17Natalie's coughing echoed from the master bedroom.
00:57:20Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle.
00:57:23Demanding double the amount, the doctor was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him,
00:57:28saying that drawing more blood might kill me.
00:57:30Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only.
00:57:33Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first.
00:57:37But.
00:57:38I interrupted the doctor.
00:57:40Try it. Just let me leave afterward.
00:57:44Jack looked at my bloodless face, anger churning in his eyes,
00:57:47but he opened his mouth as if to ask whether I really intended to make such a scene by running
00:57:52away from home.
00:57:53But Natalie's sweet call of my darling instantly pulled his attention away,
00:57:57and I passed out from blood loss.
00:57:59I woke up on a hospital bed, having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss.
00:58:03I saw Jack sitting beside the bed.
00:58:05Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment,
00:58:09he expressionlessly brought over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me.
00:58:13I shook my head.
00:58:14I can do it myself.
00:58:16Watching me eat half the bowl, Jack asked.
00:58:19Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?
00:58:21I deflected his question.
00:58:24Give me my phone.
00:58:25Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler bring my phone
00:58:31over.
00:58:31Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere.
00:58:35Who called?
00:58:36He never asked about such things before to a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said.
00:58:42No one you know.
00:58:44Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me.
00:58:47How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum?
00:58:52Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible attitude?
00:58:57In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while trying my best to
00:59:03appease him.
00:59:04But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly.
00:59:09Natalie's calling you.
00:59:11Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy.
00:59:14Out of habit, he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call.
00:59:19As soon as he left, my phone rang.
00:59:22When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
00:59:27Weren't you supposed to come find me?
00:59:30Are you having second thoughts?
00:59:32No, I'm not having second thoughts.
00:59:36There was just an accident.
00:59:38An accident?
00:59:40What happened to you?
00:59:41I need to come back to.
00:59:43The country immediately.
00:59:45I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
00:59:50Just give me a few more days.
00:59:52When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone.
00:59:55He caught sight of the long absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable
01:00:02tightness in his chest.
01:00:04But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so he didn't have time
01:00:11to ask who I'd been talking to.
01:00:13It must have been that cousin who often visited me after marrying into this family, my social circle had been
01:00:21reduced to only female relatives.
01:00:22He picked up his documents and said without looking back.
01:00:26Jack, I have some business at the company.
01:00:29I'll come back tomorrow.
01:00:30But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after.
01:00:34That, he never appeared.
01:00:37Instead, through mutual friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together.
01:00:43He took Natalie to galas and dinner parties.
01:00:46Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone.
01:00:51On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram.
01:00:57Under the sunset, he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss.
01:01:06I commented, wishing you both many children and eternal happiness.
01:01:11Ten minutes later, Jack called me.
01:01:14I didn't answer.
01:01:15Half an hour later, I completed my discharge.
01:01:19Paperwork alone.
01:01:20Outside the hospitals.
01:01:23Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and Natalie.
01:01:26They were being intimate again, completely.
01:01:29Oblivious to their surroundings.
01:01:31Jack's hand.
01:01:32Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her.
01:01:46All right.insky'szza
