"When can you start acting sensible? Your mother is worried about you. Aren't you afraid anything bad may happen to her? Get back here immediately and stop creating trouble for everyone."

There were two seconds of silence on the other end of the call.

Next, an awkward female voice came through. "Excuse me, is this Ms. Samantha Freeman's husband? I'm calling from the hospital. I can't get through to Ms. Freeman's phone, so I have to contact you.

"May I know when will Ms. Freeman be able to come for her prenatal check-up? It's time for her routine check-up."

Dustin was stunned. After a long moment, he managed to utter, "What did you just say? Is she really pregnant?"

Dustin obtained the ultrasound report from the hospital. The diagnosis showed that the baby was more than three months old. Dustin could not hide his excitement.

He was completely unaware that Celine, who was standing beside him, displayed a flash of viciousness in her eyes.

Celine looked so frail when Dustin looked at her. "Unfortunately, with my body's condition, I can no longer get pregnant. I myself am struggling to survive.

"I have never been a mother. This is one of the many regrets in my life..."

Dustin held her hand lovingly.

Celine sighed. "It would be great if I could have a child."

Dustin's face lit up. He then said firmly, "Don't worry, Celine. I will definitely make your wish come true."

Celine smiled bitterly.

Dustin turned around and started calling me. The call actually went through.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his body relaxed. "What's wrong with you? You don't want a divorce?"

"Come back immediately if you don't want a divorce. Stop causing trouble.

"The hospital has notified me and asked me to take you for a prenatal check-up. We'll go tomorrow.

"As for the divorce…" He sounded as if he was doing me a favor.

He paused and looked at Celine. Then, in a deep voice, he ordered, "Since you are pregnant and Celine really wants to have a child of her own, you will let her take care of the baby for a while after the child is born!"

Bang, my eardrums exploded suddenly.

I thought I would no longer have any feelings. However, my body was shaking uncontrollably after hearing that.

I floated in the air, staring at him in disbelief. My eyes were already red.

'Dustin, how dare you? I have tried so hard to conceive the baby. How can you ask me to hand the baby to another woman?

'Have you forgotten that after my miscarriage, you held my hand tightly and said that we would have another child. Why shall my baby be given away by you like a present?'

I breathed deeply. Celine's sweet smile was incredibly annoying. Dustin wanted to laugh too.

However, the next second, Vicky's angry voice was heard on the other end of the call, "Dustin, you are an idiot. Why should Samantha's baby be raised by her?"

"It is you?" Dustin's facial expression turned extremely ugly. "Give the phone to Samantha! Tell her that if she doesn't accept this condition, we will divorce immediately!"

I could not help but laugh miserably. How would I be able to accept his request?

My baby and I were both dead.

Vicky collapsed suddenly on the other end of the call. "I can't give the phone to her."

She then sneered sadly, "Dustin, I am afraid Samantha and the baby are dead."

Dustin froze at an instant and asked, "What do you mean?"

Vicky arrived and threw my backpack at Dustin. All the miscellaneous items in the bag fell out.

The heavy cell phone smashed Dustin's forehead; blood gushed out instantly. Vicky then charged forward and slapped him hard.

"I could only find her backpack there. It contains all her geological exploration tools. She spent a lot of time and effort to purchase those tools. She once told me that she would rather lose her life than lose her tools."

Tears fell uncontrollable down Vicky's cheeks. She covered her face and shook her head continuously as she said, "I think something terrible must have happened to her; otherwise, she would not have left her backpack..."

I could not help but start crying too.

The backpack was the evidence I tried my best to throw to the shore with all my strength. I did not expect the person who found it in the end was not my husband.

As he looked at how emotionally devastated Vicky was, Dustin, on the other hand, did not have any sense of guilt.

He frowned and sneered, "Well, where are you hiding her?

"Is this a play she asked you to act for her?

"She still thinks that I shouldn't help Celine make her last wish come true? When will she be more sensible? Celine only has a little time left, so what if I give her the child? How much will she have with the baby?"

"Forget it… It's alright, Dustin. I can live with some regrets in my life," Celine said with tears in her eyes.

Vicky was so angry that she was breathing heavily. She was about to stand up and charged toward Celine.

However, before Vicky could reach Celine, someone suddenly rushed out from behind her.

Slap, slap!

Celine was slapped hard.

"You are a witch!" My mother stared at Celine viciously. Her eyes were burning with anger. "How dare you think of taking away my family's baby!"

Dustin raised his hand and pushed my mother away.

My mother screamed and fell to the ground, causing a long bloody mark on her elbow.

Dustin's facial expression looked extremely horrible. "Kelly, I respect you as an elder. Please behave yourself. Don't push it too far!"

My mother covered her bleeding arm and sneered, "Isn't it just a divorce? I'll make the decision for Samantha. You will get a divorce immediately."

Dustin's face had never looked so ugly. He chuckled and said disdainfully, "Kelly, if you can make the decision for Samantha, she would not have begged to marry me back then."

That really hit me terribly. It turned out that Dustin felt that my love for him was me digging my own grave.

I stared at Dustin, who was completely heartless. I was dazed.

A phone ring broke the silence. Dustin answered the call. It was a call from the police station.

"Hello, is this Mr. Dustin White? Is Samantha Freeman your wife? This is the police."

Dustin sneered and pressed the loudspeaker, "Where did you find the extras for your act? You even get the police to call."

The person on the line read out his police identification number.

"After some searching effort, we located a body in the lava lake. We have performed DNA comparison analysis and confirmed that the body is Ms. Samantha Freeman."
