I lay alone on the operating table.
The doctor held my hand and comforted me, “Mrs. Kensington, it’s good that you’ve thought it through. You have serious heart disease, and pregnancy is far too dangerous.”
When I first saw the tiny embryo on the ultrasound report, my heart instantly became tender.
No matter how much the doctor tried to convince me to terminate the pregnancy, I remained unmoved.
This was the fruit of love between Lucas and me. If I could trade my life for the child’s, it would b

But now, there was no need.
Cold instruments stirred inside my abdomen. I gripped the bed sheets in pain as tears silently fell.
My phone suddenly rang. The nurse pressed the answer button and held it to my ear.
Lucas’s furious voice came through the phone, “Lila, you’ve disappointed me so much! Why did you do this to Sofia!”
I was completely confused and asked in a hoarse voice, “What are you talking about?”
“Sofia was kidnapped, and the address they sent is on that island I you!” Lucas roared hysterically over the phone.

Lucas’s men suddenly appeared and dragged me from the hospital bed.
They shackled my hands and feet with cold iron chains. “Lucas said to bring you to the island too. If they won’t

“Are you all crazy? Stop it! She just had surgery!” The doctor frantically ran forward to stop them but was pushed to the ground by Lucas’s men.
I was forcibly shoved into a car. Their rough handling sent sharp pain through my abdomen.
I soon passed out from the pain.

I shivered and groggily opened my eyes.
Lucas angrily slammed the water basin onto the deck of the boat and grabbed my throat.
“Lila, have I spoiled you all these years? Is that why you’ve become so cruel and willful that you won’t even spare an unborn child?”
My whole body went cold. I trembled, unable to speak a complete sentence, “I, I didn’t, it wasn’t

Sofia, heavily pregnant, was tied to the lighthouse, crying helplessly and shouting, “Lucas, it’s too dangerous, don’t come over!”
When she saw me appear, she cried and said to me, “Lila, if you can’t tolerate me, I can leave. Why did you have to hurt my child?”
I shook my head helplessly. “It wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything!”
“Lucas, the person’s gone. They must have run away.” Lucas’s men searched the area and found no danger, then quickly rescued Sofia.
Lucas pulled her into his arms with a pained expression.
One of Lucas’s brothers spat at me in disgust.
“Ugh! We used to respect you, Lila, but we never thought you’d be this disgusting!”
“Exactly, you’re so vicious, you’re not even worth a fraction of what Sofia is!”
“Enough.” Lucas interrupted them with a cold expression, then bent down to speak to me, “Lila, you went too far this time. Stay here and reflect on
