On New Year’s Eve, my fiance left me, who had a miscarriage in a car accident. He was chosen to accompany his young assistant to go abroad. She wanted to see the aurora borealis
In response to my request for help, he only coldly said, “You must agree to withdraw from the marriage if you want to live.”
In the end, it was my childhood sweetheart, Orlando Humphrey. He was a doctor, who rushed to the surgery room and operated on my behalf with his career guarantee, which saved my life. But my child did not survive.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Orlando knelt down on one knee to confess his love for me.
I just looked at the cold body of my child.
When I was desperate, I agreed to get a marriage certificate with Orlando Humphrey.
After marriage. Orlando and I were very affectionate. We really had a deep relationship.
Three years later, I found out that I was pregnant again.
I just wanted to tell Orlando the good news, but I heard his conversation with Richard Athelstan
*Orlando Humphrey, I didn’t expect you to do this far for Eleanor Celeste. Do you think if Celine Reverie knew that you were the one who hit her with the car and that you were the one who killed that bitchy bastard, would she still love you so much?”
“Celine is too stubborn. If she lets that child be born safely, she will never break off from the marriage with you. You have to know that for me as long as Eleanor can be happy, I am willing to compensate Celine Reverie for the rest of my life.”
The smile on my face froze.
Inside the room, the conversation between the two continued.
“That’s why I said, it’s still you who is ruthless enough.”
“Although that bitch seed was accidentally planted by me when I was drunk, but after all, it’s a life. I can’t do the thing that kills a living human life. In order to let me date Eleanor, you drove to scare Celine. Even if it’s not enough, I heard that when he cried after he was just born. He cried too loud. You immediately stopped making any noise after you injected him with a shot of medicine. You really have to be cruel too!”
“Speaking of which, if I wasn’t afraid that she would continue to pester me after knowing the truth, I wouldn’t have taken the blame for you for so many years.”
“You are the one who didn’t see that back then. When she held the dead baby and took the initiative to come to me to break off the engagement, she looked like she couldn’t wait to eat me alive.”
“Tsk, I can even imagine to what extent she would go crazy if she knew that the culprit of all this was you.”
The ex–fiancé spoke, the corner of his mouth hooked into a teasing smile. On the other side, the foreign wine in front of Orlando was drained by him in one go.
“New Year’s Eve is Eleanor’s birthday. She made a wish to me that she wanted to spend it with you. You know that I just want her to be happy. As for Celine Reverie, she won’t know the truth in this life. Then she will live th happily with her hatred for you and her love for me.”
The ex–fiancé hooked his lips, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “Your idea is happy enough for all. Then you should pray that Celine will never find out the truth. As for Eleanor Celeste, I won’t bother you. After all, the person she loves is me. The only person who can make her happy is also me.”
The man finished speaking and got up. He then walked towards the door.
My hand held the doorknob. The veins were bulging unconsciously.
I saw the man getting closer and closer to me. My stiff legs finally regained consciousness. Then I stumbled toward the stairs.

Until I sat in the car, my whole body was still shaking. In my mind, the conversation between the two just now
kept surfacing.
I leaned my head against the car window, I let my tears flow and then be blown dry.
After a few minutes, I realized that the person who hit me with his car back then was actually not Richard Athelstan. Even he was bent on breaking off the engagement with me
Instead, it was Orlando Humphrey who went out of his way to block his career in order to pull me back from the
ghost gate.
I then thought of that fragrant and soft little body of my baby. I reached out and covered my chest tightly
I said in my heart, ‘No wonder. No wonder at that time, I heard the sound of a child crying in my blurred
consciousness‘
