Michael appeared expressionless, as cool as he usually was.

    Yasmin, on the other hand, seemed happy. She looked down at her abdomen, seemingly


    anticipating their child’s birth.


    I scoffed sarcastically.


    How would Michael have dealt with my unborn child if I hadn’t died?


    Would Michael have forced me to have an abortion, or would he have ended our child’s life.


    personally?


    Michael was capable of anything.


    He and Yasmin turned their gazes toward me simultaneously. Perhaps myughter had caught their


    attention. Their eyes disyed a moment of surprise.


    Michael approached me with a pale face. “Stephie…”


    I frowned. Despite Stephany bearing a slight resemnce to me, it was unlikely for Michael to


    mistake her for me.


    “Who are you?”


    Michael took a step back dejectedly after staring at me for a long time.


    Clutching my fists, I whispered while walking past Michael, “Crazy people.”


    “Michael, she’s not Stephie. You’ve mistaken her…” Yasmin feigned sadness and held Michael’s


    arm.


    “Michael, the deceased won’te back. You can’t let yourself stay demotivated. Even if concerned


    about yourself, think about our child.”

    I felt my feet grow numb as I walked. I suppressed the urge to turn around and confront the


    despicable couple.


    “Doctor, this is Mrs. Lincoln. The blood test results are in. Please take a look.” The nanny handed


    over


    the results.


    I could feel an intense gaze on me while sitting in the chair, which made me ufortable.


    What was Michael looking at?


    “Michael, let’s go.” Yasmin pulled Michael away.


    Michael turned to look at me. He continued to murmur even as they left the consultation room, she


    really not Stephie?”


    “Is


    Michael pushed away Yasmin’s hand and walked ahead. “Are you satisfied now? There was a child


    in Stephie’s womb. It was my child,” he kept muttering.


    I could hear his voice even in the consultation room. His words made me feel disgusted.


    “HCG levels are still low, so we need to monitor for a while. We must determine whether the


    pregnancy is intrauterine or ectopic. If there are no otherplications, you can safely continue


    with the pregnancy.”


    Dr. Adrian smiled. “Don’t worry too much. Everything looks fine.”


    I nodded, held the test results, and left the room.


    Suddenly, I covered my mouth as I felt nauseated. Ignoring the bodyguards and nanny waiting


    outside, I rushed to the restroom.


    Upon entering the restroom, I scanned my surroundings. Luckily, I found the window was slightly


    open, which provided me with an opportunity to slip away.


    I quickly left the hospital by climbing out the window. I needed to meet with Rachel before being


    caught by the Lincoln family’s bodyguards.


    Rachel was the only person I could trust in this world. Only she could recognize my identity.


    Before I could go far, the Lincoln family’s bodyguards started chasing after me. I felt so annoyed


    with their presence.


    Just as I was about to find a hiding spot, a hand suddenly grabbed me into a car and covered my


    mouth.


    I turned in panic to find Michael beside me. I felt disgusted upon seeing him.


    “Who are you? What do you want?” I stared at Michael cautiously.


    “Nothing… I won’t harm you. I just want to help…” He raised his hands to show that he was


    harmless.

    I noticed that Michael appeared to have aged significantly in a short period. He looked thinner and


    less sharp than before.


    I avoided eye contact with him. “I don’t need your help.”
