Chapter 100
âAre you sure?â Tilda asked softly after a moment, her fingers tightly clenched
Edric nodded. âI saw he took the childâs hair with my own eyes, and the DNA test was done by someone we know. Thereâs no way itâs wrong. That child is indeed Edwinâs
He looked at Tilda with concern. What should we do about this?â
Tilda didnât have an answer.
Although she had some guesses in her mind, when the answer actually arrived, it was still hard to accept.
Edric didnât notice her trembling fingers or how pale her face had become
If it was just about the child being Edwinâs, she wouldnât be so afraid.
But now she knew Sharon was Big Eyes
Once this truth was revealed, the consequences would be dire
Tilda couldnât bear to think about it. Her mind was in chaos,
âWhat does Sharon want to achieve?â Edric grumbled irritably
Edric couldnât shake the feeling that Sharon hiding the childâs identity wasnât about separating from Edwin, but about planning something big
âTilda!â be suddenly grasped Tildaâs arm with determination, forcing her to face him. âListen to me. You must never tell Edwin about this! Iâll ngure out a way to prevent Sharon from causing trouble with this!â
Before Edric could finish his words, the door swung open, and a tall figure entered.
Tuda and Edric both turned to see the newcomerâs face, their expressions changing simultaneously.
Tilda awkwardly pushed Edric aside, forcefully suppressing her unease as she hurned over. âEdwin, are you here to see me?â
Her voice was gentle and sweet, like a docile car
Edric couldnât shake the feeling that Tildaâs eyes were filled with nothing but Edwin, which made him uncomfortable. He silently pinched his fingers, but could only step aside. âYou two go ahead. I wonât keep you.â
With that, he turned around and walked out
After Edric left. Tilda saw his departure and stepped closer. âEdwin,. Iâve been waiting for you all day. Why did you take so long to come to see me?
She leaned her head against Edwinâs shoulder.
Although Edwin treated her differently now, he never rejected her affectionate gestures like this, always accommodating her.
(this time, as Tilda leaned in, Edwin suddenly recoiled
âWhy did you do that?â he spoke, his voice heavy with intensity.
Tilda was taken aback, and looking at him, she noticed how cold his expression had become
e of unea
A wave
unease swept through her, her chest tightening.
âWhatâs wrong. Edwint What happened?â she asked hastily.
Edwin turned to face her, his eyes as cold as ice.
Tilda had never seen him look so icy, and she took a step back, feeling loss.
She bit her lip in distress. âEdwin, why are you looking at me like this? You know Iâm not well I canât handle stress. Looking at me like this will only wonen my condition.â
Tildaâs voice was pitiful, tears welling up in her eyes.
In the past, even if Edwin was furious, he would soften at the sight of Tikda like this, at least saying something comforting, but not this time.
Edwinâs gaze held nothing but growing disappoinment

âHow could you become like this? Youâve stooped to such malicious acts! Youâve tampered with Sharon and that childâs blood!â he growled out the
accusations.
As his words sank in, Tilda stood frozen in shock, unable to react for what fo

person I used to know any more! Youâve become a monstert Edwinâs accusation was heavy and solemn.
Previously, he only thought Tilda was a bit stubborn. Even when she pretended to be kidnapped to deceive him, causing him to leave Sharon and resulting in Sharonâs miscarriage, he only blamed himself.
But he couldnât let go of the blood contamination incident.
Tilda tried hard to stand up straight, but her legs trembled so badly that she had no strength
She collapsed onto the bed.
Her fingers struggled to tighten the sheets, trying to give herself some strength, but she couldnât manage it.
Edwin was so certain that she was responsible for this. He must have conducted some investigation
Denying it would only deepen his disappoinment
But she couldnât admit it.
If Tilda admitted it, her image in Edwinâs heart would surely plummet
Tilda had already disappointed Edwin several times. She dared not imagine how he would deal with her if she admitted to this.
A suffocating sense of fear engulfed her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Tilda took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. âHay y must have investigated this, right Edwin, I donât want to say much, but I just want to remind you that Hay has always had a special affection for Sharon. If you ask him to investigate this, heâll only listen to Sharon!â
Her implication was clear. Ray wouldnât investigate at all. He would just tell Edwin whatever Sharon said.
âYouâve seen it too. Every time, Ray helps Sharon. His words are worthles!â she added.
After saying this, Tildaâs face finally regained same color
She wasnât making this up. Edwin would surely believe her.
However, instead of easing up, Edwinâs expression grew even darker.
âHay didnât tell me about this; you did it yourself?â he roared.
âMerâ Tilda pointed at herself, feeling absurd. âEdwin, how could you joke with me like this?â
Edwin didnât answer. Instead, he took out his phone.
His fingers tapped lightly on the screen.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the room. âYou always blame me for laying a hand on the child, but Iâm actually helping you, or rather, helping your
child.
âThink about it carefully. If your child had been lost due to blood contamination, wouldnât you have been spared from facing this situation now?â
As Tilda listened to this familiar voice echoing her own words, it felt like a beavy blow, rendering her dumbfounded once again.
She had been recorded.
âAre you trying to tell me that you didnât say those words Someone imitated your voice!â Edwin asked icily.
Tilda opened her mouth, wanting to nod.
However, Edwinâs words successfully stopped her from spilling out the lie she was about to concoct. âYou should understand. I know your voice better than anyone clu
Tilda froze.
âThereâs something wrong with this recording. It has been deliberately tampered with My original words werenât like this her breathing became unstable, and as she said this, she could hardly convince herself.

Chapter 100
Edwin didnât respond.
He also heard the problem in the recording, seemingly something deliberately concealed.
But there was no problem with the part where Tilda harmed Sharon
âIâm sorry, Edwin Tilda knew she was exposed, unable to argue. She finally gave up resistance, covering her face with apologies.
Then Tilda burst into tears
She tried to justify herself. âI really lost my mind. So many things happened suddenly. I didnât know what to do. The only thing I could d away to hide overseas.
I do was run
Thit someone told me that Sharon was going to have a baby Edwin, I couldnât bear it, I couldnât imagine you having a child. I donât even know how I returned to the country. When I became sober, everything happened!
I regretted it, even thought about dying, but Edwin, I couldnât bear to leave youâ
Tears streamed down Tildaâs face, dripping onto the bed.
She was gasping for breath, looking so frail that she could faint at any moment.
Edwin just stood there silently, his hands hanging down, and clenched into this, without a word of comfort.
Tildaâs actions were too malicious. He couldnât pretend as if nothing had happened.
Tilda crawled to him. hands clutching his legs. âEdwin, please, donât be angry with me. I was really mentally unstable at that time. My mental health deteriorated after I left you
âCan you, for the sake of the companionship I gave you in the past, give me another chance? I promise I wonât do anything like this again
Edwin lowered his head, looking at her.
The companionship they shared in the past was once the most precious memory between them, the warmest comfort, but she had repeatedly treated it as a trump card..
Edwin suddenly felt numb.
Silently, he reached out and grasped her fingers.
Upon seeing his response, Tildaâs face lit up with joy and she wanted to throw herself into his arms
But in the next moment, when she saw his next move, the joy on her face froze abruptly.
