Mary was genuinely distressed.
The past few months had been too torturous for her.
No one believed her.
She had barely reached the three-month mark and was about to have an amniocentesis with Ellis when
the reporters threw everything into chaos.
She knew that they had provoked Ellis.
That was why he had done such a thingâ¦
She could even understand Ellisâs actions.â
But she couldnât forgive the harm he had doneâ¦
Mary gave a bitter smile, feeling a heaviness in her lower abdomen. It had been two hours since she
took that pill.
Was her child about to say goodbye to her?
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard Keira say, âActually, your child is fine.â
Mary was stunned. âWhat?â

Then she scoffed sarcastically. âKeera, you donât have to comfort me. After taking abortion pills, even if
the child isnât lost, it wonât be healthy, so how could it be
fine?â
Keira coughed. âWell, I switched the abortion pills with
vitamin tablets.â
Mary was dumbfounded.
At that moment, Lewis walked over and explained. âI found out that Ellis had bought abortion pills, so I
was extra cautious. I told Keera, and she found an
opportunity to go home and switch the pills.â
Mary was flabbergasted. âHow did you find out that Ellis was buying medicine?â
Lewis paused slightly.
Of course, Keira had forced him to have Ellis sign the divorce papers.
Lewis initially didnât want to meddle in their affairs since it was a matter between husband and wife, but
Keira pressed him hard, and he had no choice but to have someone check Ellisâs whereabouts and
then stumbled upon this matter.

Lewis coughed. âI saw it by accident.â
Mary, however, frowned. âBut my stomach hurts.â
âThatâs a psychological effect.â
Keira bluntly pointed out the reason.
Mary was speechless.
Keira asked, âDo you feel any different now? Is the pain in your stomach gone, or is it better?â
Mary focused on her belly and realized. âIt is getting better.â
Keira then took her by the arm. âAlright, the choice is yours now. Do you want to tell Ellis this news or
not?â
After pondering for a moment, Mary finally lowered her gaze. âIf I tell him, he probably wonât want to
divorce anymore. Better not to say anything.â
Mary didnât want to take advantage of Ellis.
His distrust left her feeling weary in this marriage.
She did want a divorce, especially just now-if not for Keiraâs intervention, he would have killed their
child.
She wasnât such a saint that she would forgive his

unharmed.
Mary made up her mind and said, âI want to go somewhere no one knows me to get through my
pregnancy and live properly.â
âThen go to the South residence,â Keira said. âIf youâre alone in a strange place, Iâll worry too.â
The real story behind Ellisâs azoospermia needed to be investigated.
If someone was targeting Ellis, then would they harm Mary upon learning that her child was fine?
Keira felt that things were getting very complicated.
She helped Mary and got into the car with Lewis.
Lewis still played the driver role; this time, Keira sat in the backseat with Mary.
On the road, Mary bowed her head and shed tears.
Keira didnât know how to console her, so she just gently patted the back of her hand.
After wiping her tears, Mary said, âKeera, Iâm okay.â
Then she looked at Lewis, âThank you for your help this time.â
