Bailey spent three days in the hospital
On the day of her discharge, she requested her baby’s remains from the hospital personally wrapped them, and took them to the crematorium
The tiny body was quickly consumed by flames, reduced to a small pile of ashes, as if it had never existed at all.]]
Bailey, dressed in pure white, had just stepped out of the crematorium with the urn when she received a call from Alexander]
“Ewan’s surgery was a complete success. Stella is throwing a celebration party for him. Come over.”
small urn in her arms
Bailey looked down at the sm
Her child had been reduced to ashes, while Stella’s child had been granted new life
What was there for her to celebrate?
To celebrate that Stella’s child had claimed her baby’s life?]
She coldly refused: “I’m not coming.”
But Alexander ignored her refusal: “Evan wants to thank you. I’ve sent a car for you. Come directly.”
He hung up, and the bodyguard who had been watching her stepped forward.
“Mrs. Winters, please.”
So this was just a notification, not a request?
Bailey laughed bitterly, her eyes reddening as she glanced at the gloomy sky behind her.
The celebration was held at one of Alexander’s luxury estates, a scenic property nestled against mountains and overlooking water.[
Bailey clutched the urn as she moved through the crowd, constantly overhearing snippets of gossip:[]
That boy is Alexander’s son, right?”
“Stella’s quite something–got kicked out of the country by the Winters family, then quietly had his son overseas!”
“I know! Alexander obviously still has feelings for her. With a child together, he’ll probably divorce and remarry soon.”
All those vicious rumors that used to tear her apart? Now when Batley heard them, she felt absolutely nothing just complete numbness]
She slowly circled the banquet hall, looking for Alexander.
On her way, she accidentally overheard Stella talking with her friend:]
“Stella, did Alexander really use his wife’s baby to save Evan?”
“He doesn’t seem to care much for his wife. In his heart, your child with him is the true fruit of love, the only heir to the Winters fortune.”
Stella gave a flirtatious laugh, lowering her voice: “Actually, Evan was never sick. I just made it up to test him, and now I see my efforts weren’t wasted.”
Stella continued boasting, completely unaware that Hailey stood nearby, secretly recording everything
“Evan is perfectly healthy. I initially used that excuse just to have a reason to approach Alexander again, but later….“[]
She swirled the red wine in her glass, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction “If Bailey’s baby had been born, Evan wouldn’t be his only child anymore For Lyan’s sake, how could I let another child be born?”
Hatred built in Bailey’s eyes. Distracted, she knocked over a porcelain vase in the corner, creating a loud crash |
“Who’s there!” Stella’s expression instantly turned vicious]
Badley met her gaze, no longer hiding the bone–deep hatred in her eyes]
Stella, you’ll pay for this!”
Stella was startled only briefly before calling for security: “Get this crazy woman out of here! Now!“]
The security guards were new and didn’t recognize Bailey
Sering her dressed in white, they
hey assumed she was a troublemaker and began dragging her away.
In the struggle, Bailey’s urn crashed to the floor, shattering and spilling ashes everywhere. Onlookers, not understanding what was happening, stepped on the ashes.]
In that instant, time seemed to slow down for Bailey
Her lips trembled as she fought desperately: “Let me go! Let go! Don’t step on them! Don’t hurt my baby!”
Bailey tried to gather the scattered ashes.
But Stella darkly beckoned a cleaning person from across the room: “Come clean up this mess. It’s getting all over the place–disgusting.”
The cleaning staff, completely unaware, poured water over the ashes and quickly cleaned up the “dirt.”
Bailey felt her soul shatter. The next moment, blood rushed to her throat.
Her struggles and cries were futile as she was quickly dragged out of the banquet hall.]]
Meanwhile, Stella, remembering Bailey’s earlier behavior, flashed a hateful look
After a moment, she whispered something to a companion, then called Alexander, her voice taking on a tearful quality-]
*Alexander, where are y
you?
“Bailey just burst in and attacked me. She’s kidnapped Evan!”
