When Jasmine awoke again, she was in the hospital. A wave of disorientation washed over her.
She touched her flat abdomen, a sharp pang of pain piercing her heart. The baby was gone.
*Room 23, where are your family members? We need you to settle the bill. You suffered heavy metal poisoning and need to cooperate with the police investigation. We couldn’t save the baby,” the nurse said, inquiring about her condition.
Jasmine’s fingers trembled as she picked up her phone and called Adrian. His phone was switched off.
A wry smile touched her lips. After leaving last night, he hadn’t answered her calls, hadn’t even contacted her.
He had said he’d be there the moment she needed him.
Now, he was ignoring her calls to be with Rosalie.
“No family. I’ll pay myself,” Jasmine replied weakly.

“You can’t get out of bed yet, you need plenty of After taking notes and leaving the ward, the nurse couldn’t help but comment, “Some women are just so lucky. A young lady had a threatened miscarriage, and her husband was beside himself, booking the entire VIP floor and flying in a top medical team from all over the world overnight to save the baby.”
I’ll go take care of the paperwork for you,” the nurse said kindly, stopping Jasmine.
The nurse glanced back at Jasmine.“This poor woman suffered poisoning and a miscarriage, and she doesn’t even have family with her.”

She wanted to disappear completely from Adrian’s life.
Returning home, she found Rosalie curled up on the sofa, covered with her blanket, snacking and watching TV.
Jasmine’s brow furrowed slightly. Before she could speak, Rosalie stood up.
“Jasmine, you’re back. Have you eaten? Adrian went to buy a cake. Do you want a chocolate one?” Rosalie said with a smile, her triumph barely concealed.
“Who gave you permission to touch my things?” Jasmine’s face hardened as she saw the messy coffee table, a tightness in her chest.
She’d always disliked others touching her things, even more so, having people making a mess in her home.
Adrian knew her habits, rarely bringing anyone home, and if he did, he’d clean and disinfect everything immediately.
Now, he was allowing Rosalie to lie in her spot, using her blanket, eating her snacks..
“Jasmine, are you angry? I‘ give them back.” Rosalie dumped the chips onto Jasmine, raising an eyebrow.“Now you can pick them up.” Jasmine was taken aback, but before she could speak, Rosalie knelt down, cleaning up the mess.

“Babe, what are you doing?”
The sudden change in Rosalie’s demeanor caught Jasmine off guard. Hearing Adrian’s voice behind her, she understood everything.
Jasmine turned to see him looking at the fallen Rosalie, catching the flash of pity in his
eyes.

Right. Jasmine hates people touching her things. Why did you make such a mess of the living room?” Adrian frowned.“Take your cake and go 10me. Don’t come to my house again.”
Rosalie froze, slowly getting up and taking the cake Adrian offered.
The next second, Rosalie stood up, seemingly losing her balance, stumbling toward Jasmine. She lost her footing, falling backward with Rosalie. In a split second, Adrian moved, catching Rosalie in his arms.
