In the operating room, Margot''s heart-wrenching cries pierced the air, filled with unimaginable sorrow.


    Everett''s eyes zed with a fiery red, veins bulging on his forehead as his hands clenched into tight fists at his sides. His entire body was a tense, formidable silhouette, exuding an intimidating aura.


    His voice, rough andden with usation, cut through the tension, "Are you happy now?"


    He didn''t even look her way, but Selena knew he was ming her for Margot losing their child. Despite her differences with Margot, this was a heartbreak she never wanted to see. As a mother herself, she knew all too well the agony of losing a child, especially one brought into the world with such difficulty, only to never see it.


    Yet...


    Selena bit down hard on her lip, her eyes fixed on his cold profile as she tried to exin earnestly, "It wasn''t me, I didn''t push her, I was just "


    Before she could finish, he cut her off sharply.


    "I don''t want to see you right now! Leave!"


    Her words caught in her throat, and she stared at him in disbelief. Was he really not going to give her a chance to exin? Just like that, jumping to conclusions?


    Without sparing her another nce, Everett turned to Derick, who was standing nearby. "Take her home!"


    "Yes, Mr. Everett," Derick replied, a sigh escaping him as he approached Selena. "Ma''am, let''s head out."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Selena was reluctant, thinking, why won''t he even hear me out?


    "Everett!" she called out, grabbing his arm with determination, looking up at him, her voice firm with each word, "I said, it wasn''t me!"


    She understood his heartbreak over losing the child, but she wasn''t the only one in pain here!


    Suddenly, Everett''s long fingers wrapped around her neck, pinning her against the wall with surprising force.


    The veins on his hand stood out


    starkly, his dark eyes sunk deep, his gaze icy as he roared, "I said, I don''t want to see you, do you get


    Everett was always the epitome of calm, unperturbed even when the world seemed to crumble. But here, for the first time, his anger spilled out unchecked, directed entirely at her  en


    His overwhelming fury seemed to swallow her whole.

    Selena didn''t doubt for a second that if she said one more word, he could snap her neck without a second thought.


    She trembled uncontrobly, tears streaming down her face.


    Derick was nearly paralyzed with fear himself, watching the scene unfold, his breath catching in his throat.


    Thedy was pregnant, and they couldn''t afford another tragedy.


    Shaking off his fear, he stepped forward, gripping Everett''s arm, his voice shaky as he pleaded, "Mr Everett, I''ll take her home now, you... you should check on Ms. Margot..."


    By then, Margot had been wheeled out by the nurses, likely sedated. Shey silent now, her face ashen, drained of all vitality. Everett released Selena, his tall frame turning away from her, each step taking him closer to Margot.


    Derick supported the weakened Selena, whispering urgently in her ear, "Ma''am, let''s go. This isn''t the time to stand your ground." Now wasn''t the moment for conversation; anything she said would fall on deaf ears.


    But Selena couldn''t help but call out as she watched Everett''s retreating back, "I''ll be waiting for you at home. We need to talk!"
