Before I lost consciousness, the cleaning Aunt came and quickly called for an ambulance.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the hospital ceiling. Jasper was actually holding the IV for me.
For a brief moment, when our eyes met, I thought I saw a flicker of concern in his eyes, but it was probably just my imagination. He let out a cold snort.
“You’re not as clever as your mom. Trying to set up others but ending up sabotaging yourself.“”
I stayed expressionless, too tired to respond. Jasper frowned in anger at my calm demeanor.
“Lydia, have you also learned the art of playing hard to get? Pretending to be an innocent girl to trick me into caring about you?”
I ignored his sarcasm, but my hand on my stomach suddenly froze.
“The baby…”
Jasper was stunned, his handsome face turning somber. Just then, the doctor walked in.
“Miss Lydia, you’re awake. You just had a miscarriage and are very weak now. Your family should get some medicine from the pharmacy later.”
A hint of confusion flashed in my eyes, and my heart sank to the bottom.
Jasper hesitated, gently touching my hand, and said softly, “It would have been born with abnormalities anyway…”
The doctor returned at that moment. “I forgot to give you the prescription.”
Seeing our hands intertwined, he comforted us, “It’s truly a pity. The baby was actually quite healthy. But you’re both still young, you’ll have more chances.”
I slowly withdrew my hand, avoiding looking at Jasper any longer.
After a moment of silence, he forcefully turned my face back.
“You have no right to be sad. When your mom drove my mom away, she miscarried because she was devastated.”
“Lydia, this baby today, it’s a life for a life. If you want another one in the future, I don’t mind giving you one out of pity!”
Looking into Jasper’s indifferent eyes, my heart ached so much I couldn’t breathe.
Perhaps I should have realized sooner.
Over these five years, he would sometimes call me a slut in intimate moments, only to explain afterward that it was just a kink. He’d occasionally be quite impatient with me, and I just thought he was tired from work.
I suddenly spoke, “Do you like Keira?”
Jasper was taken aback. Then he released my hand and said coldly, “Yes, I like her. Don’t dream about my love.”
I just lowered my head and smiled slightly, saying, “Hmm, that’s good.”
Jasper seemed to get angry again and slammed the door as he left.
Exhausted, I went home. The day to leave was approaching, and I needed to pack my things quickly.
At home, Keira was trying on a wedding dress.
5:33 AM

Seeing me, she gave a provocative smile, “Miss Lydia, how do you think I look in this?”
I lazily lifted my eyelids, glanced at her, and said in a muffled voice, “Not great.”
“You! Hmph, then I’ll definitely wear this and marry Jasper with everyone’s blessings.”
I snorted coldly. “This wedding was originally meant to provoke my dad. If you make such a big fuss, if Jasper finds out, he
might insist on making me the bride.”
“You wouldn’t want to see Jasper and me exchanging ‘I do’s‘ in front of you, right?”
Keira’s expression turned panicked, and she glared at me.
“Of course I know. I’ll keep it a secret and give Jasper a surprise.”
Seeing that she still wanted to show off, I covered my ears and returned to my room to pack my things without expression.
The phone rang, and when I answered, my mom’s usual commanding voice came through.
“Have you packed up yet? You’re leaving tomorrow, and you’re not coming back to stay with me tonight?”
“Hurry up and break up with that young boyfriend of yours. He has no money, and you’re still with him. How did I give birth to
such a fool?”
Mom didn’t know that my boyfriend was Jasper.
“That scoundrel Declan, I served him for half my life, and all I got was a few million. In the end, the company still went to his
son.”
“If only you were a boy…”
“Bang!”
A sudden loud crash sounded in my ear.
My heart tightened abruptly.
“Mom? Mom, what’s wrong? Mom, say something!”
