Chapter 6 He immediately felt a spark of hope and picked it up, only for that hope to be dashed when he saw the callerâs name.
Reluctantly, he answered the phone.
âHenry, why arenât you home yet? Iâve been waiting for you, Iâm starving. If you donât come back soon, our son will start to rebel!â
The sweet voice that used to sound pleasant now only filled him with disgust.
âIâm not coming over today. You eat by yourself.â
Without waiting for her to respond, he hung up the phone.
Right now, all he wanted was to find Anna.
He suddenly changed his attitude, making Nancy nervous, but she didnât dare to call him. She could only send him texts, trying to express her longing.
But no matter how much she messaged, she got no reply.
Fearing that Henry might abandon her, she desperately went to his company.
She heard that he hadnât been to work for several days.
Not willing to give up, she came to his house.
Henry heard knocking on the door and rushed to open it, thinking it was Anna coming back.
âAnna, youâre finally back...â he called out excitedly, only to freeze when he saw the person in front of him. His smile immediately vanished, replaced by anger.
âWhat are you doing here? Didnât I tell you never to come here again?â
Nancy trembled, her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded, âI couldnât get in touch with you. Iâm afraid youâll leave me and the baby... Henry, donât be like this, youâll scare the baby...â

Chapter 6 She shouldnât have mentioned the baby. At the mention of it, Henryâs anger flared even more.
âIf you were really scared, you wouldnât have come here! Get out of here, and never step foot in this house again!â
Nancy didnât understand why Henry was so angry until she noticed the changed living room, and then she suddenly realized.
âHenry, is Dr. Annana not at home?â
She asked carefully.
Henry was unwilling to accept the fact that Anna had left. His expression kept changing, and he said stiffly, âShe went on a trip. Sheâll be back in a few days.â
He then gave her a warning look. âIâve told you, I wonât allow what happened last time to happen again. If you dare have any improper thoughts again, donât blame me for being ruthless!â
âHenry! How can you say that? Everything Iâm doing is for the baby to have a complete family!
You said I gave birth to the child and let him call Dr. Anna his godmother, but have you thought about whether Dr. Anna would treat our child like her own? Sheâll probably hate him, how could she possibly be kind to our child...â
âAnyway, she canât have children anymore. Why donât you divorce her? When we get married, Iâll have as many children as you want.â
Nancyâs face was full of shyness, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became.
She didnât even notice that Henryâs expression had turned dark.
Before she could hear the response she was hoping for, her neck was suddenly gripped tightly.
Henry didnât care that she was pregnant. He forcefully squeezed her neck and said coldly, âYou think you deserve to be my wife? Let me tell you, in this lifetime, no one but Anna deserves to be my wife!â
âCompared to this child, I want Anna! Do you understand?â
If only he had this awareness earlier, would he have lost Anna?
While warning her, Henry also felt the pain pierce his heart like a thousand arrows.
Chapter 6 He couldnât help but recall the time when Anna had lost their child while helping him secure a partnership by drinking with others.
Back then, her pain was a thousand times worse than his.
Nancy turned pale from his aggressive demeanor. The pain on her neck made it hard for her to breathe. She could only beg repeatedly, âHenry, Iâm sorry, I wonât say that again...â
When Henry heard her voice, he released his grip, his body aching with sorrow. He told her, âLeave now. After you give birth to the child, Iâll give you the money you want, but donât come to me again.â
âNo... Henry, I donât want money. I just want to give the baby a complete family,â Nancy cried, but she no longer got even a shred of pity from him. He heartlessly kicked her out.
After Nancy left, he began to slowly restore the missing items in the house, trying to piece it all back together in the image of how it once was.
He thought that once everything was back to normal, Anna would return.
He waited every day, but disappointment always followed. The cycle repeated itself endlessly.
Meanwhile, I, together with the volunteer team, arrived at a place in need of aid. Every day, I traversed the ruins, battered by artillery fire, yet I found great fulfillment.
Despite the hardships, I felt an overwhelming sense of purpose and meaning in life.
I was sorting medicines, preparing to send them to colleagues in another area when I heard the familiar, loud voice of my mentor.
I thought it was a hallucination, but when I turned around, I was immediately struck by a wave of excitement.
âTeacher, what are you doing here?â
âI couldnât rest easy, so I applied to join this mission. Also, my son is here now. Iâll introduce you to him. If you run into any problems while youâre here, just go find him. Donât be shy.â
