Anyone who dared to ruin his rtionship with his wife would pay with their life.


    Hailey was the wife he felt he had prayed for his entire life.


    Brittany''s eyes widened, a deep fear shing within them.


    She was too scared to speak, barely daring to breathe.


    But at that moment, Hailey spoke through the intense pain. "Arthur, the proof is on my phone. The intimate photos Brittany sent me, the videos, and every single toxic, hateful text—they''re all right here on my phone. I''ve already sent all of it to mywyer. Once I safely deliver this baby, if I even survive, I''ll use that evidence to file for divorce."


    Arthur was speechless.


    Proof?!


    What proof?


    He let out a bitterugh, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Hailey, don''t you feel how well I treat you? There''s nothing going on between me and Brittany. If there''s anything at all, it''s just the care of an older brother for a younger sister."


    "Stop it, Arthur. You''re such a despicable scumbag. Is it that hard to admit you''re in love with another woman?"


    She looked at him coldly, fed up with his hypocrisy.


    If it weren''t for the pregnancy and the winter weather, she would have left long ago.


    *Why does this sound so familiar?* Natalie thought.


    This man was so much like Sebastian, a real piece of work.


    She pushed the thought aside and began to apply gentle pressure with her hands. "Don''t talk right now. Save your strength. We can deal with everything else after you''ve safely delivered the baby."


    Hailey didn''t believe him one bit. She looked at Natalie with red-rimmed eyes. "Miss, please, I''m begging you, stay by my baby''s side at all times. It doesn''t matter if I die, but my child muste into this world safely."


    Natalie offered a small smile. "You took my medicine. You won''t die that easily."


    "You need to be strong and live, so you can pay me back for the medical expenses. The medicine I just gave you is an experimental, highly restrictedpound costs upwards of two million dors fo synthesize a single dose on the private market."


    Two million dors! It was so expensive!


    But if it meant she could live, she would definitely pay her back.


    She nodded with determination. "Okay!"


    "It hurts... It hurts so much..." As the tension in her body eased, waves of pain washed over her abdomen. Sweat beaded on her forehead.


    The car was spacious enough. Shey back on the seat, biting down hard on her sleeve.


    This couldn''t go on. They had to get to a hospital.


    Natalie took out her phone and called Herbert.


    "Natty, I''m watching the livestream. It''s making me so angry! How can so many people like that vicious Joanna?"


    Natalie didn''t know what to say.


    "Herbert, I need you to get everything


    ready immediately. I have a


    pregnant woman here who needs to get to the hospital right away, but


    we''re stuck in traffic."


    "What? What is it with your luck? Every time you go out, you run into a patient or a pregnant woman."


    "Herbert, we''re not far from the hospital. Without traffic, it would only take about ten minutes."


    Herbert heard the urgency in her


    voice and reassured her, "Okay, okay,


    don''t worry. I''ll get everything


    prepared on this end you can go,


    straight to the delivery room as soon


    as you arrive."


    Natalie hung up the phone.


    She carefully continued to help reposition the baby.
