Ehe hadn’t even processed that when a voice pierced the air, pained and h
“Lily, why are you here?
What’s that in your hand? Are you pregnant?”
She jumped in shock.
I already broke up with John. I’m pregnant with James’ child. There’s no guilt or regret in that.
But I know what kind of lunatic John is.
I’m scared he’ll hurt my baby.
I can’t let him find out.
Heart racing, she quickly hid the test report behind her back.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Move.”
John’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at her, refusing to step aside.

Lily didn’t want to waste another second with him. She turned and quickly headed in the opposite direction.
But John blocked her again, gripping her wrist tightly.
“Answer me. Are you pregnant?”
The red in his eyes deepened like a tide of blood, surging with fury. It was like hell itself had swallowed all the light in the world.
He stepped closer, trying to snatch the report Lily was hiding behind her back.
Of course she didn’t want him to see it. She yanked her arm back with all her strength, pulling away from him.
“John, you’re no one to me now. My life is none of your business.
Get out of my way. Now.”
John knew this was the OB-GYN wing. Women coming here didn’t have to be pregnant-it could’ve been for anything.
But he’d caught a glimpse of the word “pregnancy” on the paper in her hand.
After the New Year, I’d told Wayne to dig into what was going on between Lily and James.
A few days ago, Wayne had reported back. James had already filed for divorce. The cooling-off period had passed. He just hadn’t returned to the country yet, so the final papers weren’t signed.
But the divorce? It was basically a done deal.
Knowing that James didn’t care about Lily had given John a sliver of hope-maybe even redemption. He’d convinced himself Lily only threw away what was under the silk tree out of anger.
James didn’t want her anymore. What else could she do?
Once their divorce was finalized, she’d come back to me.
I’m sure she would never let James touch her.
She had deep psychological trauma about intimacy. Even when they were deeply in love, she couldn’t bring herself to be with him. How could she possibly sleep with James?
Still… that one blurred word-“pregnancy”-kept gnawing at him.
I had to know.
I need to confirm it isn’t a pregnancy test. That she isn’t carrying some other guy’s baby.
Once again, he grabbed her wrist, harder this time. “Give it to me.”
Lily looked at him like he was insane.
She tried to pull away again, but this time he used his full strength.
She couldn’t match his power. Not even close. She couldn’t break free.
Panic flooded her. She almost shouted for help.
But this was a hallway full of pregnant women. If she screamed and made John lose control, he could hurt them too.
Instead, she yanked out her phone and quickly started dialing the police.
John…”
She hadn’t even finished dialing when a voice rang out-cheerful, breathless, almost triumphant.
“I’m pregnant, John! You’re going to be a dad!”
“Elsa… what did you just say?”
It was like getting struck by lightning. John’s pupils blew wide, his mind completely blank. His grip on Lily’s wrist slackened as he stood frozen.
In a daze, he muttered again, “Who… who’s going to be a dad?”
What happened on New Year’s Eve-my drunkenly sleeping with Elsa-had already been the biggest regret of my life.
I still hadn’t come to terms with it.
Earlier today, Elsa had mentioned nausea and wanted to get checked out.
I thought her body was too far gone, that pregnancy was impossible.
But fate clearly had other plans.
Now, she was carrying my child.
The one dream I’d had-having children with Lily-was slipping away.
Elsa? Pregnant with my baby?
He hoped it was a hallucination. He prayed it was his ears playing tricks on him.
But that final shred of hope was crushed a second later.
Elsa repeated with a bright smile, “John, I’m three weeks pregnant. You’re going to be a father!”
Words like “shattered” or “destroyed” weren’t enough to describe what John felt at that moment.
He stumbled back, nearly collapsing to the floor.
Lily, watching Elsa’s smug little act, was thoroughly annoyed.
But for once, she actually found Elsa kind of… cute.
Her sudden appearance had saved her. John’s grip had loosened, and she was free.
And honestly, she was relieved.
Elsa being pregnant with John’s child?
Perfect.
Let them be a happy little family. Maybe now, he’d finally leave her alone.
Without looking back, she turned and rushed toward the elevator.
She didn’t notice the figure watching her from around the corner.
Mathilda, wearing a surgical mask, stood frozen-one hand clamped tightly over her mouth.
She had come to the hospital today… for an abortion.
She had just finished the procedure when she saw Lily entering the ultrasound room.
A terrible feeling immediately filled her gut.
She followed Lily in secret, trying to figure out what was going on.
As expected, that bitch Lily is really pregnant!
