Chapter 3
The phone buzzed again, a new message flashing on the screen.
It was from William.
“Lucy, have you eaten yet? Is the baby bothering you?”
You have to believe me, I love you. I’m doing this because of gratitude. If it weren’t for her saving me back then, I wouldn’t have been able to live. Don’t worry, once Sura has the baby, once her child has a legal identity, I’ll divorce her.”
In the past life, he never offered such explanations.
He knew I loved him deeply, knew I was

carrying his child, yet he relentlessly pushed me into the abyss.
Before I died, I naively believed that at least we had love.
But now, I finally understood – in William’s heart, I was nothing. Not even a single strand of Sura’s hair mattered to him more than I did.
I didn’t reply, my fingers swiping the phone shut.
I had just undergone surgery. My body was weak and needed rest.
After a full week of rest, the weakness in my body slowly faded, and my spirits lifted.
I turned my phone back on, and a barrage of missed calls and messages from William

flooded the screen.
“Lucy, pick up the phone.”
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t disappear, Lucy, behave.”
“Call me back, or I’ll send someone to bring you back.”
So now he was panicking? Too late.
Just as I was about to turn the phone off, the door was suddenly pounded on, the knocks so hard it felt like the door might give way.
I walked to the door and peered through the peephole.
There, standing in the hallway, was Sura.

“Move,” I said coldly, my hand reaching for the door to close it.
But Sura shot her hand out to block it, her voice rising in a frenzied roar.
“It’s your fault! If it weren’t for you playing hide–and–seek, William and I would already be married!”
“William and I are divorced. What he does is none of my concern.”
Since you two are getting married, perhaps you should focus on your ‘fiancé. Don’t let him run around like a mad dog, pestering me. I find it revolting.”
With a shriek, she screamed,

storm in with a dark storm cloud hanging over him. His eyes were burning with fury.
He slammed the door shut behind him and fixed his gaze on me.
“Lucy, where the hell have you been hiding these last few days?”
“Why aren’t you answering my calls? Why haven’t you replied to my messages?”
“Do you have any idea how hard I’ve been looking for you?” William stepped closer,.
“What do you want from me? We’re divorced now. Or are you so used to having me sacrificed for your precious Sura?”
William narrowed his eyes
