"Captain, my wife just had an accident, and I need to get to the hospital urgently. Please let me leave work early!"However, the older man stared at the young man with a fierce and mocking gaze, his face showing a hint of ridicule as he sneered."Fine, just submit a resignation letter, and I'll let you go early.""Sir..."The young man's name was Ethan, and he was initially from the prestigious Alexander family in the capital. A few years ago, he was betrayed and expelled from his family, forced to move south, and eventually married into the Edwards family.The petty and vindictive captain held a grudge over a trivial conflict and made things difficult for Ethan, looking for every opportunity to get him out of sight."Don't look at me like that, and you've already taken more days off than allowed this month. If you want more, quit and take care of your wife!"The captain's indifferent and sarcastic tone, devoid of empathy, turned Ethan's face red with anger and resentment.Ethan's wi

"Don't worry, Mom. I've already provided enough blood for Dad. The doctor said that his surgery could proceed as planned." Ethan reassured her, despite his mother-in-law's apparent aversion.However, Mabel simply ignored him, intentionally turning to look at Toshan instead. It was only now that Ethan had a chance to observe the man: dressed in a vest and leather shoes, he exuded an air of sophistication and success, truly the epitome of an accomplished man."Toshan, you've heard as well. Melanie's father will have his surgery tonight. Thanks to you, the operation can proceed smoothly!"As Mabel conversed with the man named Toshan, her beaming expression was entirely different from the one she wore when speaking with her son-in-law, Ethan. This made Ethan feel slightly uncomfortable.Toshan, for his part, responded to Mabel with a smile: "Auntie, it's my responsibility to help out. Melanie and I are not strangers; I'm familiar with your family. I'm no longer planning to go abroad and w

"Jump now. If you want to jump, why don't you?""You... you... you can't come here... I... I'll jump!"As Ethan drew closer, the girl became increasingly agitated. In a split second, she stepped back, lost her footing, and nearly fell."Ah!!! Help me!!!"At this point, the girl's scream was so high-pitched that even Ethan, standing more than ten paces away, had to cover his ears."What are you yelling for? Haven't you fallen into the river yet? And, if you wanted to commit suicide, why are you so afraid of dying?"Hearing Ethan's sarcastic tone, the girl no longer wanted to end her life. Instead, she was filled with resentment and continued to scream."You're despicable, you wretched man! If something happens to me, you're the murderer who killed me! Even as a ghost, I won't leave you alone!"As the girl continued to shriek, onlookers driving by cast suspicious glances. Ethan sighed, hurried over, grabbed the girl's hand clutching the railing, and shouted."Come up here. Stop yelling

Witnessing the nurse shake her head and sigh, Ethan's heart pounded. However, upon hearing Tazanna's situation wasn't too dire, he breathed a small sigh of relief.Although they had just met and Tazanna had caused him to be misunderstood and beaten by thugs, Ethan couldn't help but hope she would pull through this ordeal as he wanted to ask more about her condition.A group of bodyguards in black vests quickly approached the operating room. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a stern, cold expression.Seeing these imposing individuals rush in, Ethan couldn't help but worry about their identities. However, it didn't take long for the angry voice of the leading man to address the two bodyguards next to him."What on earth happened? Why was my daughter stabbed and hospitalized?"The man's voice wasn't loud but carried an authority that left no room for defiance, startling the two bodyguards. One of them hurriedly began to explain."Boss, the situation was completely unexpected. We ne

However, no matter how Mabel tried to persuade her, Melanie stubbornly refused to put the knife down. In her anger, the knife was even pressed closer to her throat, leaving a cut that caused blood to drip onto the blade.Finally, Ethan could no longer hold back and spoke up."Melanie, I know you never loved me, and our marriage was just a misunderstanding. Now that you no longer want to be with me, I've given you freedom. What are you still doing this for?""Who told you I don't love you? Who told you I wanted to marry someone else? Why are you treating me like this? Do you know how much my child and I need you?"In her uncontrollable fury, Melanie screamed, leaving everyone present dumbfounded."Your child and you?"However, what caught Ethan's attention the most was this statement. He hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the knife in Melanie's hand, and anxiously asked: "Do you mean you're pregnant with my child?""I don't have a child with you, so whose could it be?""No, I mean... I mea
