A scream ripped through the ward, followed by the sound of shattering objects.
Sebastian wheeled himself inside, finding the room in chaos. The nutritional supplements Eleanor had carefully chosen for Charlotte were scattered on the floor, shards of glass like countless sharp ice crystals, reflecting a cold, harsh light.
The shattered glass had sliced through Charlotte’s printed smile, distorting it into something grotesque.
Eleanor was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, her eyes bloodshot with rage and pain. She held Charlotte’s mother’s hair, dragging her towards the

Charlotte, still under the influence of anesthesia, was weak, falling to the floor as she got out of bed.
From his wheelchair, Sebastian watched coldly as she struggled to her feet, kneeling at his feet, her pale face streaked with

She couldn’t lose Sebastian!
“Children?”
Sebastian finally spoke, his voice utterly cold.
“In your eyes, children are merely tools to gain my attention. What right do you have to mention them?”
“Charlotte, for the sake of the children, I’ll give you a check for ten million. Don’t ever appear before me again.”
Those two sentences were a knife severing Charlotte’s last hope, a cold wind extinguishing the light in her eyes.
As Sebastian was about to leave, Charlotte, somehow finding strength, tried to rise and pursue him.
The next moment, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. She froze, staring incredulously at her skirt.
Warm blood flowed like a broken dam, pooling at her feet.

Although Charles and Eleanor had bought her a ticket to Finland, when Sebastian’s people arrived, they were told Evelyn hadn’t been there. The airline confirmed she’d changed her flight.
