My vision blurred with tears as I crumpled to the floor, overwhelmed by the weight of it all.
Although Olivia was Jason's sister, she was my only family in this world.
Years ago, when the car accident happened, flames engulfed the vehicle, and Olivia risked her life to pull me out. As I clawed at her in terror and confusion, she bore the pain without a word of complaint.
I became an orphan after the car accident. Olivia had taken me in, sacrificing her career to stay by my side, guiding me through my darkest days.
With Olivia's encouragement, I regained my hope to live.
This morning, I had shared the news of my pregnancy with her. Olivia was overjoyed and eager to go shopping for baby clothes and maternity items. None of us expected a car would hit her that day.
With the doctors rushing around, I forced myself to stay strong and not give up.
Desperate, I called Jason's assistant, offering anything to get him to reveal Jason's location.
I rushed to the address he gave me, finding Jason at the same mall Olivia had planned to visit. He was there with his first love.
"Jason!"
I screamed.
They turned around, still holding hands.
Jason's brow furrowed in annoyance. "Have you been following me?"
I could barely catch my breath. "You need to come with me. Olivia's in critical condition. If she doesn't get blood within the next two hours, she'll die!"
Jason sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.
"Maddie, you're despicable. Olivia saved your life, and now you want her dead?"
I stared blankly at Jason's face, still handsome yet unfamiliar.
When I found out I was pregnant earlier today, I had wanted to tell him right away. But Olivia had stopped me, suggesting we buy some baby items first to surprise him later.
I touched my belly and tears streamed down my face.
"Please, I'm begging you. Olivia's life is in danger."
Just then, Emily Lindsey, Jason's first love, let go of his hand and gently pushed him towards me.
"You should go back soon. Family matters are more important."
But Jason firmly held Emily's hand again and, looking into her tear-filled eyes, whispered softly, "Don't worry. You've just moved to this city, and I promised to help you get settled. I can't break my word."
When he turned his gaze back to me, it was ice cold.
"Maddie, stop causing trouble. You know why I agreed to marry you, and you should understand the place Emily holds in my heart.
