During my late pregnancy, I suddenly had hypoglycemia while accompanying my husband to a party.
I reached out with difficulty to take the juice on the table, but was stopped by my husband’s female assistant.
“Callie, I can’t drink alcohol. Can you let me drink this glass of juice?”
My eyes went dark and I drank the glass of juice without caring too much.
When my husband found out, he scolded me coldly, “It’s just a glass of juice. You are so childish that you have to take Lane’s. Do you know? Because you, Lane has been thirsty for a day!”
I looked at him, my face full of confusion.
“She has hands. Can’t she buy water by herself? Do you know how dangerous hypoglycemia is for pregnant women?”
Doran immediately apologized to me after hearing this. “I’m sorry, my wife. I was confused. You rest well here. I will take you home later.”
I nodded in agreement, but Doran didn’t show up until late at night. When I was impatient to go out to find him, I was suddenly pushed into a swimming pool full of juice.
“Don’t you want to drink juice? Today, I’ll let you drink enough at once!” Doran held the female assistant and sneered at me, who was kicked back into the water.
Until dawn, I looked at the swimming pool and sent a message to my brother in an unusually calm manner.
[Brother, your beloved nephew is gone and Doran doesn’t need to stay.]

“Doran, what do you want to do?”
I was pushed into the swimming pool and inevitably choked on several mouthfuls of juice while struggling. I was in a mess.
“Callie, don’t you like to snatch Lane’s juice? Today, I’ll let you drink enough. When you finish drinking the juice in this pool, you can come up.” Doran embraced Lane and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at me.
I looked at Lane’s smug look and suddenly I realized. It turned out that Doran did this just to avenge his assistant.
But it was just a glass of juice. Could it be that not letting her drink this last glass of juice was more important than the life of the child in my belly?
I thought about it and couldn’t help but ask, “Doran, can a glass of juice make you sacrifice my life and the life of my child?”
Doran frowned when he heard it, but before he could speak, Lane cried.
“It’s all my fault. I’m too pushy. It’s because I was thirsty because of the lack of juice and almost had a shock due to heatstroke. If I had just endured it a little longer, it would be fine. It’s all my fault…”
“What’s your fault? I think it’s all because Callie is too selfish, relying on her status to deliberately make things difficult for you.” Doran hurriedly comforted the woman in his arms and his face immediately turned cold when he turned to look at me.
“Callie, I think you are used to being pampered and have lost even the most basic humanity. If you don’t kneel down and kowtow to Lane to apologize today, don’t even think about climbing out of the pool!”
I smiled bitterly and didn’t look at his nervous look at the woman in his arms. Five years ago, I couldn’t imagine that this man who treated me with respect would turn against me because of a glass of juice.
I thought his tolerance and respect for me was love, but until Lane appeared. She was clumsy and even stupid.
I knew that Doran hated trouble and thought he wanted to fire Lane. But Doran said, “She is just young and she is cute like that. Just give young people a chance.”
So slowly, Doran spent more and more time with her and even brought her to the company party without telling me.
Until he got drunk one time and uploaded a video of him playing with Lane to the company group.
