I was in my eight months pregnant. Someone secretly gave me an abortion drug and made my body and the floor cover in blood.

Noah Riders cried all the way and ran through countless red lights to take me to the hospital. He brought me to a top gynaecologist just to save my life.

On the operating table, I woke up early and heard my brother talking to him, "Didn't we agree to just abort the baby? Why did you want to remove her uterus?! Noah, what qualifications do you have to deprive her of her right to be a mother?"

Noah's usual gentle voice turned to cold and said, "It is my greatest kindness to let this child live for eight months. Only my child and Airish is worthy of the position of Riders Family heir. This is what she owes Airish and must pay back!"

It turned out that the perfect marriage was my wishful thinking. Noah had loved my fake daughter sister from beginning to end. If you loved her so much, I would never hesitate to fulfil your wish.

"The abortion pills are so strong. Nadine won't be able to have children again. We have secured Eric’s life and future. He will come back to you very soon."

"Have you ever thought about how devastated she would be if she woke up and found that her child was gone and her uterus was cut?"

After a long silence, Noah's cold voice slowly sounded, "I have to make sure no one gets in the way of her happiness. In fact, she owes so much to Airish. Airish is her sister. What else can she be satisfied with if it’s not she can see his child raise and grow well?"

The wound on my abdomen seemed to be torn open by a someone. I seemed to see the boy who had already taken shape. His body was purple and black, struggling hard, but eventually died slowly.

"You're so cruel. I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future, Noah. I can see clearly that you have no feelings for Nadine,” Mike got annoyed and judged.

“If it wasn't for making up for her, Airish wouldn't have insisted on breaking off the engagement with me and going abroad. Now, she refuses to come back.” Noah remained cold and continued, "She said that she let Nadine to have my child. I owe Airish too much. I can't pay it in this lifetime."

My brother was angry and said, "Then you insist on pursuing Airish, huh?"

The atmosphere between the two of them was frozen. I laid on the hospital bed, crying silently, not daring to make a sound.

"Why haven't you woken up yet?"

I felt Noah gently brushing my forehead as he said, "She just had her uterus removed. It won't hurt her body to be in a coma for so long, right?"

He did such a bad thing to me, but he actually said it in a nonchalant tone. He was really a beast in human form.

I slowly opened my eyes and met his instantly gentle eyebrows and eyes. I had always been deceived by Noah's gentle and affectionate face, thinking that he loves him as much as I do. Therefore, when a large pool of blood flowed from my body, I tried my best to save my child.

I didn't hesitate to give up my life and pricked a few needles on my body, just to wake up and have the strength to give birth. However, I didn't expect that he was the real executioner!

Noah put strong abortion drugs in my food and made me bleed heavily. He deliberately paid a high price to hire the chief physician of Riders’ hospital. What a poisonous heart!

My beloved husband, who I thought would pour me so much joy in marriage, was all a liar. Noah killed his own child for his illegitimate child, so that the child could successfully inherit the Riders Family. But then he dared to say that I owed her? Thinking of this, I trembled all over.

The wound on my abdomen hurt so much that my face turned pale. Yet, it was not even one ten-thousandth of my heartache. Noah couldn't hide my emotional fluctuations. He hugged me tightly, as his tone was gentle and pitying. He said, "I’m sorry that we have to lose our son, baby, but I promised to you. Although our child is gone, I will always be by your side."

"Believe me, sometimes losing is also a kind of gain." Noah kissed my eyebrows tenderly, "How sad you are, I am ten thousand times sadder than you."

I clenched my fists and blinked hard, so that I could cover up my unstoppable hatred and prevent him from finding out. "How sad are you?"

Noah looked down at me as his eyes were swollen like walnuts. He looked like he had been crying for a long time. "I was extremely sad. The moment I knew that our son died, my world was dark. Fortunately, you are still here. Otherwise, I really couldn't live."

What a good actor. No wonder I didn't realize that he had always loved Airish Flo for so many years.

When I was just pregnant, Noah posted several moments in a row, saying excitedly that he was going to be a father. Later in my pregnancy, I had a poor appetite, so he learned to cook for me and cooked for me himself. However, who could have predicted that this was his long-term plan for that illegitimate child!

Noah went downstairs to the canteen to get food, but he left his spare phone behind.

The password he entered was not my birthday, but it was Airish's birthday. It was successfully unlocked. Pages of chat records made me dizzy.

[Noah, I’m sorry for what happened to Nadine.]

I was eight months pregnant and Noah was traveling back and forth at home. He was abroad on business trips and the days he spent with me were few and far between. I felt sorry for him that I only reported good news during the various hardships of prenatal checkups and pregnancy reactions. I tried my best not to make him worry about me.

Then I knew that the days he went abroad were spent accompanying Airish for her prenatal checkups and childbirth. The endless chat records contained every bit of him and Airish and he never missed every important day of pregnancy.

Noah applied pregnancy oil to her, learned to massage her swollen feet and even used his hands to pick out the dirt that constipation could not get out for her. Turning the page, Noah and Airish quarreled over the child's fate. In the end, Airish agreed to let me raise the child, but she still wanted to pursue her career abroad.

I closed my eyes. I remembered that after Airish and her identities were made public, she smiled with relief and said to me, "Sister, I never want to blame you for taking my parents away. I yearn for a wider world. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for Noah."

With that, she ran abroad and became a light chaser. My parents resented me for her departure and even attended my wedding ceremony in a hurry.

In the meantime, Noah killed my child for Airish, just to pave the way for her child. I really envied her. Everyone loved her, but not me. Since that's the case, I should probably leave.

I put down my phone with a dead heart as I sent a message to my boss. I promised him to get back to the Rivendell and develop his traditional herbs business.

"I'm worried about the hospital's food, so I cooked some for you. C’mon, open up your mouth and see if it suits your taste."

Noah fed me mouthful by mouthful and my tears uncontrollably fell into the bowl. He wiped my tears gently and teased me, "Oh baby, you’re really grateful that you have me as your husband, right?"

I lowered my eyes and said nothing. I wasn't moved, but I felt miserable. This kind of treatment was only available to me because Airish repeatedly asked him. I just benefited from her.

Seeing me like this, Noah hugged me in distressed, "Baby, are you thinking about the baby again?"

When he mentioned it, I broke down again and burst into tears. Noah was so anxious that he turned around and finally it seemed like a flash of inspiration, "Well, I heard that your sister also has a child abroad. I wonder if you know that he’s always been homeless. Why don't we bring him here and raise him as our own? We can tell the world that you gave birth to him. I’ll help you talk to your sister and you can save yourself from criticism."

I looked up at him blankly. If I hadn't known what Noah did behind my back, I would have thought he was thinking about me. However, I had already decided to leave Chilverstone.

"You’re right. I believe it can make everyone happy."

Noah was surprised and hugged me as he promised like an oath, "I will treat you well for the rest of my life, Nadine. When the child grows up, we will go sightseeing. Don't you always want to go back and see where you grew up?"

He kept talking about the beautiful future, but he didn't know that this perfect new life would never start, because I was leaving.

Noah was so impatient that he took Airish and the child back to Chilverstone within two or three days to hold a family dinner.

"I thought I should also tell my parents. They must’ve been missing their grandchildren too." Noah looked at me cautiously, afraid that I would be angry.

In the Clark Family villa, my parents teased Eric. Their faces full of joy as grandparents for the first time. Airish sat next to them, just like a little girl.

My mother cherished her grandson and caressed Airish with pity, "You’ve been struggling outside. Don't worry, dear, your child will be the first grandson of our family!"

I felt my eyes stung, but I still smiled and went forward to say hello. My parents were extremely cold all of a sudden, "Who are you showing your bad face to? Are you deliberately making things difficult for us? Look at Airish, how much more sensible she is than you."

"I really don't understand what you are doing. You are about to give birth and you are still eating nonsense. Now, the child is gone and in the end, Airish has to clean up your mess."

"Knowing that the Riders Family's in-laws will come today, you are still wearing such a plain dress like that? You never know how to add glory to the family. You should be self-aware in the first place. It is your fault, causing Airish to be unable to return to the country for so many years and being bullied abroad."

I knew my parents look down on me. They thought I couldn't bring them honour and I was not worthy of the identity of the Clark Family's daughter. It was a pity that Airish, the daughter who made them proud, was not their biological child. Until Airish took the initiative to go abroad, Riders Family couldn't do without me. They had to accept their fate, but they were even more dissatisfied with me.

My father didn't send me off at the wedding and my mother sat in her seat with a sullen face.

Noah used to protect me and speak for me, but then his eyes were glued to Airish, full of tenderness. He completely forgot that I was stillborn because he took advantage of my trust and put abortion pills in the food.

Airish walked up to me with the child in her arms and curved her eyes sincerely, "Sister, look at Eric Jacob, isn't he very cute?"

He was indeed very cute. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Airish. Meanwhile, his lips and chin were carved from the same mold as Noah.

I brushed the child's face with my fingertips and a huge hatred appeared in my eyes.

However, why could he live well and enjoy a rich and beautiful life, while my child was poisoned to death and couldn't even see this world?

"Eric Jacob?"

"Yes, Noah's friend helped me find a boy’s name for him. I hope he can enjoy a noble life, peace and wealth in the future."

On contrary, in order to find the name for my child, I flipped through the dictionary with good meaning that can bless him with health, happiness and peace. Noah laughed at me for doing useless work. He said that the child's fate was determined at birth and naming was just psychological comfort.

Turning around, I spent tens of millions to find a fortune teller to name Airish and his child. With a bitter mouth, I tried to smile, "It is indeed a good name."

I found that the child's expression was not right. My palm slid to his neck, but before I could do anything, I heard Airish scream, "Sister, what do you want to do with my child?"
