âCaroline, why do you look so happy?â Elizabeth asked deliberately. âIs it because you know my pregnancy is unstable, that Iâve been bleeding, and⦠and youâre secretly gloating over it?â
Caroline shook her head repeatedly. âNo, absolutely not.â
âThen what is it? Iâve been lying in this hospital bed, faking medicine and injections every day just to protect this baby. I feel awful, yet youâre standing here smiling⦠Youâre pregnant, and so am I. But you donât seem to struggle at all. You even go to work every lay.â
âThatâs because youâre delicate. Youâre precious. Me? Iâm just an ordinary woman, tough and rough. Forget going to workâif you made me do housework too, I wouldnât even blink.â
Elizabeth clenched her teeth.
She really was suffering. The bleeding was real.
Pregnancy was exhaustingâshe had finally experienced that firsthand. And this was only the beginning.
But then she looked at Carolineâhealthy, energetic, glowing with a rosy complexionâand a wave of resentment surged within her.
It wasnât fair.
Especially considering everything she had done to target Caroline beforeâkidnapping her, poisoning her, trying every possible way to make her miscarryâyet Caroline had made it through unscathed.
Why? Is this what they mean by âonly the wicked thriveâ?
That thought made Elizabeth feel a little better.
Of course. Iâm the precious one here. Iâm carrying the Ellison familyâs bloodline. Naturally, I deserve the best care and treatment. Caroline is nothing compared to me.
Still, Elizabeth was annoyed. âMr. Ellison, why did you bring her here? Seeing her so happy makes me⦠I feel even worseâ¦â
opy her
âI wanted her to witness the difference in fate. Sheâs carrying an illegitimate child. You, on the other hand, are different.â
David thought this statement would wound Caroline.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated.
This time, Caroline couldnât hold it inâshe burst out laughing.
Seeing Davidâs sharp gaze and Elizabethâs hateful expression only made her laugh harder. She waved her hands as she gasped for air, trying to explain, âNo, no, youâve got it all wrong! I swear Iâm not gloatingâI just⦠I just canât help itâ¦â
She tried to stifle her laughter, but the more she held back, the harder it was to stop. âThis is the first time Iâve ever seen a pregnant woman check into a hospital at
Haha! She must be so delicate! Maybe she s carrying a royal heir! Elizabeth, youâd better be extra careful. I C conception and plan to stay until she gives birth.

showers, you shouldnât even let your feet touch the ground. Just stay in bed and rest properly⦠Haha! That way, in ten months, the baby will be born safe and sound!â
Caroline was laughing so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.
It was just too funny.
She had thought David had dragged her here for something important, but in the endâ¦
This? This is it? So what if David treated Elizabeth with tenderness and care? Their soâcalled display of affectionâ¦
Felt so fake. And weird.
She didnât care at all.
Watching them, Caroline couldnât shake the feeling that David and Elizabeth were like two actors, awkwardly thrown together for a scene, trying to perform for an invisible camera.
If anything, Elizabeth played her part better. Her acting felt more natural. But David?
He wasnât into it at all.
His expression, his movementsânone of it was convincing.
Caroline pondered. Even that one night, when he had held me in his arms and murmured I love you in his sleep⦠he had sounded far more sincere than he did now.
