I was forced to follow Ezra and watched him finish broadcasting the news.
Everything I endured before my death was exposed just like that.
But no one knew, nor would anyone believe.
The victim was the same person from the headline five years ago, the International
Young Anesthesiologist who abandoned her career for an affair.
After work, Ezra hurriedly drove to the Downtown High–Rise Rotating Restaurant.
In the Luxury VIP Seating, a well–dressed woman was sitting with her back to him.
I recognized her instantly as Adeline.
Ezra approached, first kissing her cheek affectionately, then handing her a gift.
“For the baby. Our little one will look adorable in this.”
Adeline’s eyes sparkled with surprise, teasingly replying, “Why the rush? I’m only two months along, not sure if it’ll hold this time.”
Ezra lifted Adeline’s hand, placing it on his chest, looking at her with doting eyes.
“No matter what, I’ll ensure this baby is born safely.”
I never expected Ezra to value his and Adeline’s child so much.
When I accidentally got pregnant, I eagerly went to him.
He just calmly said his job was unstable, he couldn’t afford it, and told me to abort.
He didn’t even look at the ultrasound report I held.
I once thought he simply didn’t like children.
Now it seems, he just wasn’t interested in having one wit

Adeline’s grip on her glass tightened, her brow furrowed slightly.
“Blame me for not being capable. Five years, and I still couldn’t make you a father.”
Ezra quickly moved the glass from her hand, letting her hold onto him tightly.
“How can you say that? It was your sister who caused this, injuring you those years ago, making you suffer so many miscarriages.”
“I only meant well to advise her…” Adeline seemed triggered, covering her head, her
shoulders trembling with sorrow.
“She’s not my sister! She doesn’t deserve it!”
Ezra, filled with heartache, held her close.
“If I ever meet that woman again, I’ll make her pay, make her apologize to you!”
“Alright, alright, don’t cry, don’t upset the baby.”
I remembered Adeline had an incomplete uterine septum, a congenital uterine
malformation.
This condition made miscarriages common, and successful pregnancies rare.
She used to feel inferior about it, even hiding it from family.
I finally understood, her jealousy drove her to cut out my healthy uterus.
I shook my head frantically in mid–air, desperately exposing her true nature.
But no one heard, no one responded.
Then Ezra took out his phone and made a short call.
“I told Mother–in–law you weren’t feeling well, can’t make it to her sixtieth birthday tomorrow. You know, she loves you, when has she ever refused?”
Lused to be the one who had to show up at Mom’s birthday banquet while Adeline could

Because I used to be her most beloved and proud daughter.
But now, to ensure Adeline’s smooth pregnancy, Mom even agreed readily to her missing
the sixtieth birthday.
Adeline said, “Mom loves me the most. Even if she agrees, she must be disappointed
inside.”
“Phoebe already disappointed Mom enough, so I’m definitely going tomorrow.”
I felt a sharp stab in my heart.
She took my marriage, stole my life, and now even took the mother who loved me the
most.
No one knew.
Under my grief–stricken gaze, Ezra gently wiped away her tears.
“Adeline, you’re just too kind.””
