At the hospital.
The emergency room’s red light switched to green, as the medical staff emerged from within.
Zachary immediately rose to his feet. “Doctor, how is my wife’s condition?”

The doctor removed his mask, letting out a sigh. “The pregnant patient has had a threatened miscarriage. She must stay in bed to ensure the safety of the fetus in the future! The injuries on her face are external, which are secondary. After they heal, persistent use of some scar–removal medications, along with the use of medical equipment, should prevent any prominent scars from remaining.”
Pregnant patient?
A threatened miscarriage?
Zachary stood frozen in place. It took him a moment before he managed to ask in a deep voice, “Doctor, what did you say? My wife… She’s pregnant?”
The doctor gave Zachary a puzzled look, feeling a sense of familiarity with him, yet he couldn’t recall who he was.
He simply retorted in a deep voice, “Are you even a husband? Your wife has been pregnant for four months, and you’re just finding out?”
Zachary’s expression froze for a moment, asking with a hint of disbelief, “Four months?”
Four months ago, Susanna hadn’t yet returned to his homeland, and their relationship was still stable.

Had it really been that long already?
Did Lenora know she was pregnant?
That time, he asked her if they were to have a child, would she still choose to divorce him?
She declared, even if she were pregnant, she would not carry the baby to term.
So, she was unaware that she was pregnant?
However, four months had passed. How could she not be aware?
So, when she harshly stated that she didn’t want children, it was all a lie to deceive him.
These were merely words spoken in the heat of the moment after being hurt. She truly didn’t have the heart to get rid of the child.
This child was theirs. The one he was going to have with Leno

Unexpectedly, just as he was preparing to let her go, their marriage found a chance to revive from the brink of collapse.
This was his final opportunity. He absolutely had to seize it!
The doctor observed Zachary’s expressions fluctuating between seriousness and joy and felt compelled to voice a reminder. “Pregnant women have unique physical conditions. In her case, she was born with an abnormal uterus and thin uterine walls, making her prone to miscarriages. Even if she’s past the three- month mark, she cannot afford to be careless. Given her condition, if she miscarries this pregnancy, it will be very
difficult for her to conceive again in the future. Therefore, she must be bedridden to ensure the safety of the fetus and receive extra care!”
“I understand,” Zachary said seriously, “I will certainly be more careful.”
This time, he was determined to protect both mother and child.
Lenora was still unconscious, being wheeled into the hospital room.
Her face was still swollen, with gauze adhered to both sides of her cheeks.
Zachary took a seat beside the sickbed, his gaze deeply fixed on the slumbering face of Lenora. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
He effortlessly held Lenora’s hand in his, while his other hand was gently placed on Lenora’s abdomen.
Unexpectedly, their child was really here.
The child was already four months old, gradually growing up.
Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras at the entrance of Fuller Tower, capable of capturing the roadside.
When the driver realized he couldn’t reach Lenora on his phone, he immediately accessed the surveillance footage. He noted down the license plate number of the van and gave him a call.
If he had been any later, he didn’t dare to imagine what could have happened..
Suddenly, the ringtone of his phone echoed.
Zachary stepped outside the hospital room to answer the call.
The voice of a young man echoed from the receiver. “Mr. Fuller, the three individuals have been apprehended. They were under the command of Helen. When we arrived at the Carston residence, we found Kenneth dead at the staircase entrance, and Helen had fled!”
“Call the police and let them join the search. She couldn’t have gone far. No matter what, you must find her!” Zachary’s eyes radiated a chilling intensity.
Understood.”
“As for Susanna, take her to the airport. I’ve arranged for someone to deliver the plane tickets.”
“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Miranda called. “Mr. Fuller, it’s getting late. Why haven’t you and Mrs. Fuller returned yet?”
“Nora had a bit of an incident and needs to stay in the hospital for a few days. Miranda, could you come by tomorrow to bring her some clothes and perhaps prepare some nourishing soup for her?”
Miranda immediately voiced her concern. “What’s wrong with Mrs. Fuller? Is the child in her belly okay?”
Zachary paused unintentionally, casually asking. “Are you aware that Mrs. Fuller is pregnant?”
From Zachary’s words, it was evident that he already knew, Miranda, no longer keeping it a secret, sighed. “Ah. I’ve known for a while. I wanted to tell you, but Mrs. Fuller wouldn’t allow it.”
Lenora didn’t allow her to tell…
At this point, Zachary was finally certain that Lenora had known about her pregnancy all along.
Despite everything, she still wanted to divorce him and leave the country with Jonas.
At this moment. Zachary’s grip on his phone tightened abruptly, his hanging hand forming a clenched fist.
Seeing that Zachary remained silent, Miranda spoke up. “Mr. Fuller, you shouldn’t blame Mrs. Fuller too much. She’s also feeling distressed…”
Zachary fell silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “I know.”
Lenora had truly lost all hope in him, which led her to consider leaving with their child.
During those four months, she had endured the trials of pregnancy with an unspoken emotional turmoil silently bearing all the injustices she faced.
He wasn’t a suitable husband before, and now, he was even less of a qualified father…
Zachary returned to the sick room, settling back down by the bedside. Leaning over, he gently pressed a kiss to her cool forehead.
He would never let her go again.
There was no way he would allow his child to call Jonas “Dad“!
Absolutely not!
Inside the hospital.
With a loud crash, the glass cup hit the floor, shattering into countless pieces.
The hospital room was in complete disarray.
Two men were attempting to drag Susanna out, but Susanna was clinging onto the bedpost for dear life.
The medical staff dared not approach.
In the adjacent VIP single–patient rooms, resided either the rich or the noble. They had witnessed all–sorts of dark realities under unwritten rules. Yet, they all chose to shut their doors, remaining indifferent as long

as they were not personally involved.
“Let me go. I need to call Zachary!” Susanna cried out.

“Mr. Fuller is the one who sent us, so making a call won’t help. You might as well come with us to the airport right away!”
“No. I need to hear it from him directly, or else I won’t leave! If any of you dare to touch me again. I’ll jump from here!”
The two men exchanged a glance. One of them spoke. “Go ahead. Take your shot. Once you’re done, you’re coming with us! If you’re not afraid of dying, jump. The worst that can happen is that I’ll spend a few more years behind bars!”
The man loosened his grip, and instantly, Susanna fumbled to get her phone from the hospital bed. In a fluster, she dialed Zachary’s number.
Before Zachary received the call, he had just received a photo sent by the young man. It was a DNA test
report.
After the call connected, Susanna’s voice, filled with tears and panic, echoed from the other end of the line.
Zack, someone’s come to get me. Can you come and save me, please?”
“It was I who sent them. There’s no future for you here in this country. Your mother’s murder case hasn’t fully come to light yet. If the media gets wind of it, you should know the consequences.”
At that time, the media was vying to cover the story for the sake of popularity.
The mother of the female celebrity committed murder, and the victim was none other than the celebrity’s father.
Susanna also found it difficult to remain within the circle.
Susanna didn’t expect Zachary to find out so quickly. She was sobbing, her heart torn apart. “No, I don’t want to go abroad. Zack, I love you. Can you come and see me, please?”
There’s no need to i
again.”
Sensing that Zachary was about to hang up. Susanna had no choice but to threaten him. “Wait! Aren’t you curious about why my mom harmed Lenora? Don’t you want to know about Lenora’s true background? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose it? Aren’t you afraid that Lenora’s reputation will be ruined?!”
From her words and the paternity test report, Zachary guessed something His voice was low. “You can give it a try.
Susanna gave a sorrowful laugh, despairingly setting down her phone.
Once upon a time, Zachary had also devotedly protected her, favored her, and indulged her. Yet, she hadn’t cherished it… Back then, all she wanted was to marry someone else.
In the end, she was left with nothing.
“Let’s go. Stop struggling for no reason!” The man hoisted Susanna up from the ground.

Susanna didn’t resist any further. She followed the two men out of the hospital room and got into the car.
Susanna sat in the backseat, unusually silent, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on the view outside the window.
The man beside her let his guard down.
On the broad highway, a red semi–trailer loaded with goods was approaching head–on.
Just as they were about to pass each other by, Susanna suddenly lunged for the steering wheel…
The driver’s heart skipped a beat, but it was already too late.
Bam!
