The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly and she pretended to be someone who had just woken up, looking at her belly with shock on her face.
“I... what's wrong with me?”
Ethan immediately looked worried and patted her back slowly with both hands, his tone sad as he answered, “I… the doctor could not save our child, I’m sorry.
“The doctor said you fell from such a height and it’s a miracle you survived. The baby, however… was lost on the spot."
Ethan’s voice was calm, almost reassuring. He reached for her hand, his grip firm yet devoid of warmth.
“Casey, don’t worry. The doctor said that if you take good care of yourself, we can always have another child in the future.”
Lily stopped looking at her and came up to her with a bright smile on her face as she reassured her more, “Yes, auntie, you must not be so careless in the future.
“If it were not for your negligence, the child might have been born healthy a long time ago. It's such a pity."
Tears rolled down her eyes, Casey nodded gently, then laid back sadly, with her back to Ethan.
“You guys go out, I want to be alone,” she ordered coldly.
Lily's face changed and she winked at Ethan. The man stepped forward and lifted her upper body.
“Casey, this is a pill specially prepared by the doctor for you. It will help you recover. Eat it quickly and take care of yourself so we can have more children.
“Tomorrow is our fourth wedding anniversary. I will hold a grand banquet for you and give you the most expensive gift. You will still be the most glorious young lady of the Olson Family in Nether!”
The hatred and anger suppressed in her heart grew little by little. Casey clenched her fists tightly and spoke lightly, “What a coincidence! I also have a gift for you tomorrow.”
Lily stared at it eagerly as she asked, “Auntie, what gift is it? We'll wait and see.”
Casey smiled and in front of her, she took the pill from Ethan's palm, put it in her mouth and took a sip of water.
After the two left, there was gradually no more noise outside. Casey immediately rushed into the toilet, scratched her throat and vomited all the pills. The acid mixed with blood made a mess.
The woman's face was calm, but there were sharp cold thorns flashing in her eyes.
On the second day, a banquet was held. The guests who attended were all important figures in Nether and even many media reporters came.
When the process reached its climax, no one noticed anything wrong until someone ran in in a panic and reported, “Mr. Olson, your wife is missing!
“The only thing we found in the ward was a signed divorce agreement and some clothes for the child that your wife had sewn herself.
“Someone fished out a headless female corpse in the moat on the way to the airport. It's probably her.”
Ethan stood up suddenly. These reports were like thunder and the blood in his body froze.
“What did you say?!"
“Mr. Olson, we did find the flight information in your wife's phone and got the taxi driver's confession.”
Ethan could no longer hold on and fell backwards with bloodshot eyes.
“How... how is it possible?!"
At this moment, Lily screamed, her eyes widened in horror and she pointed at the fonts that began to jump out of thin air on the big screen in the banquet hall.
“Three… Two… One!”
