âJust because that child isnât of the Ellison familyâs bloodline, so itâs your disgrace? You are truly ruthless, Mr. Ellison. You had the power to save her, yet you chose not to! Do you have any idea how desperate, how helpless Caroline must feel right now? Have you ever considered her feelings?â
Nash roared as he pushed himself to his feet.
Earlier, when David had punched him again and again, he hadnât fought back. He hadnât even lifted a hand
to defend himself.
But now, all he wanted to do was beat David to a pulp.
Fueled by rage, he lunged forward. Yet, his body was battered and exhausted, his face swollen and bruised. He was no match for David.
Before he could even graze the hem of Davidâs shirt, he was shoved aside.
Nash hit the ground hard.
âWhy are you so worked up if the child isnât yours?â David asked coolly. âWhether it lives or not has nothing to do with you.â
Without hesitation, Nash shot back, âBecause itâs Carolineâs child!â
Davidâs lips pressed into a thin line.
That sentence was far too familiar.
Caroline had said the same thing to him, more than once. It didnât matter who the father was. She was the mother.
It was her child, her bloodline.
Now, hearing Nash echo those very words, it became clear why they had once loved each other so deeply.
âThe choice of whether to keep the child or not belongs to Caroline alone,â Nash gritted out. âNone of us have the right to decide for her. If she doesnât want it, she can go to the hospital herself. But if she does, then she has every right to bring that child into this world.â
David cast him a sidelong glance but remained silent.
Nash clenched his fists, his voice trembling with emotion. His eyes glistened. âSheâs a person, a living, breathing human being. Sheâs not some object, not some decoration to be discarded at will! And youâre her husband. Yet, you stand by and watch as she suffers, unmoved!â He let out a hollow laugh. âDavid, if you donât cherish her, then let her go! You control the Ellison family and Ellison Group now. Youâre powerful beyond measure, not the dying man clinging to life in a hospital bed. You donât need her as a goodâluck charm anymore!â
Davidâs tone remained indifferent. âSheâs the woman I bought for five billion dollars. Whether I want her or not, thatâs for me to decide. Who do you think you are?â
âFive billion dollars⦠So itâs about money, then?â Nash wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and steadied himself, his voice unwavering. âFine. Iâll pay it back. Iâll return every last cent, just let her go! Give

He didnât care about anything else anymore. He just wanted Caroline to be free.
She had suffered enough.
His heart ached for her.
David studied Nashâs disheveled form, his expression growing colder.

If Caroline were here to witness Nash throwing everything away for her, willing to sacrifice whatever it took, she would be deeply moved.
He was even willing to pay five billion dollars for her.
Davidâs lips curved into a smirk. âEven if you pay, I wont accept it. I wonât take back what Iâve spent.â
âYou!â
âBesides, it was your fiancée who kidnapped my wife,â David added. âIf anything, youâre the one at fault. Iâm the victim here. What right do you have to accuse me?â
Nash spun on his heel and bolted toward the door. âIâm going to save her!â
He staggered as he ran, knocking into furniture, sending objects crashing to the floor.
David followed, his pace steady.
Because, in truth, Nash wasnât wrong.
