You attended that perfume conference while pregnant, then got tangled in Corrine’s mess. One thing after another–what kind of mother does that make you?”
Ceciliaughed bitterly. “Then let’s just not have it.”
“Don’t you dare.”
Exhaustion washed over Cecilia. Wesley simply wants everything.
“Get out.”
Right now, he was thest person she wanted to see.
Wesley lost any mood to back down. He turned and left.
At the doorway, he bumped into Johan about to enter.
Johan took one look at his face and knew he’d been arguing with Cecilia again.
“If I hadn’t run into her at the elevator, she and the baby would’ve been in danger.”
He reasoned with Wesley, adding finally, “If you truly don’t love her, just let go.”
Better to release each other than keep tormenting yourselves.
An icy glint shed in Wesley’s eyes as he recalled Johan gently stroking Cecilia’s hair.
He’d never shown that tenderness toward Larissa.

“You should focus on sorting things out with Larissa.”
His tone carried a distinct chill.
Johan slouched against the doorframe, seemingly deaf to Larissa’s
name.
“Wesley, Cecilia’s carrying your child. You should care for her instead of chasing other women.”
He stopped just short of pointing out Wesley’s skewed priorities.
Wesley narrowed his eyes, locking onto Johan. “You have feelings for Cecilia?”
Johan stayed silent for several seconds, his voice rasping. “You’re imagining things. I just think you’re crossing a line.”
“I feel sorry for Cecilia–carrying your baby while watching her man orbit another woman.”
Wesley caught the sarcasmcing his words.
Expressionless, he countered, “If you’d married Larissa properly, I wouldn’t need to intervene.”
Johan shrugged with deliberate nonchnce. “In the Johnson family, I don’t get a say in my marriage.”
He pushed past into the hospital room to see Cecilia.
Cecilia felt slightly awkward seeing Johan, but he was her and her child’s savior.
She thanked him: “Thank you for saving me and my child.”
Johan nced at Wesley entering behind him and stood three steps

from the hospital bed.
“How are you feeling?”
“Quite well.”
In a nearby room, Larissa clenched her bedsheet, the white bandage around her wrist staining red.
“Are they all in Cecilia’s room?”
Tania seethed with hatred. “That homewrecker, always ying the victim.”
As if she’s special just because she’s pregnant?
The thought of that seductress reminded her of the one back home, fueling her rage.
Larissa’s face paled. Her lips trembled slightly. Tears streamed down.
She’d attempted suicide.
Yet they flocked around Cecilia.
Tania urged Larissa, “No matter what, you must marry Johan.”
Larissa loved Johan. The Johnson family was wealthy. Johan was young and aplished.
Marrying him would secure her lifelongfort.
Larissa felt a pang in her heart. “But the Johnson family has already called off the engagement.”
“With Wesley here, that won’t happen,” Tania reassured her daughter.

Just then, Wesley arrived.
Larissay weakly on the hospital bed, eyes brimming with tears.
Tania wiped her own tears, sobbing, “She hasn’t spoken a word since waking up. I’m afraid she might still…”
Wesley’s expression grewplicated. Because Johan wanted to break the engagement, he hadn’t evene to see Larissa.
“Larissa.”
He called out softly.
Her eyes were red and swollen, voice hoarse. “I know he came. But he refused to see me. He thinks I’m unclean. He thinks I’m unclean.”
Tears streamed down her face, filled with utter despair.
“Does he know about what happened back then?”
Larissa wept until she nearly fainted.
Tania held her, pleading, “Don’t cry, Larissa. Your body can’t take this.”
“Brother.”
!
Larissa clutched Wesley’s sleeve, kneeling on the bed. “Brother, I beg <b>you</b>. Help me one more time.”
Wesley sighed, visibly moved.
“Does it have to be Johan?”
He saw clearly–Johan held little regard for Larissa in his heart.
Larissa’s eyes burned crimson, radiating pitiful vulnerability.
