If it weren’t for Lewis Titus, I would probably have been kicked out.
After submitting a series of documents, I was finally allowed to go in.
When Eden Robinson saw me, his
eyes sparkled.
“You… you came.”
“You still can’t let go of me, can you?”
bodyguards behind him separated us.
I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
“Take him to the operating room.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
As I entered, I glanced at Lewis.
He nodded at me, and I went into the operating room.
Eden lay on the operating table, staring at me.
“I’ve always wanted to see you at work; you look beautiful.”
I turned to the anesthesiologist. “General anesthesia.”
“But…”
“Just do as I say.”
Eden’s hand was more complicated than I had imagined.
The surgery went relatively well; as long as he didn’t mess around afterward, he should be able to pick up a brush again.
Whether he could hold it steady would depend on fate.
Just as I removed my surgical gown, there was a commotion outside the door.
“Not doing it? You have to do it, whether you want to or not!”
I stepped out, and Lewis came up to me.
“How did it go? Are you tired?”
I shook my head, looking up. “What’s going on?”
“Mr. Wilde brought his wife in for an amniocentesis.”
“Why?”
“To test.”
I nodded in understanding.
White Eden was waking up, Elma Wallace’s test results had already come in.
The child wasn’t Mr. Wilde’s.
“Are you going to say anything?”

Eden woke up.
I had already given him all the instructions and had spoken to tas paterde when the mem
“That’s it.”
“Are you leaving?”
“What else can I do? If you have time to worry about me, you might as weit check on thee. #yow we theng Me Mike #$78
After saying that, I pulled Lewis away.
The old master of the Titus family’s birthday was next month
gis and I had prepared for a long time.
This was my second visit to the old residence.
The first time was for our wedding to pay respects to the ancestors.
When we arrived at the old house, the usually quiet courtyard was festooned with deconwuns
Gifts piled up throughout the long corridor.
The butler was leading people in counting the gifts.
“Sir, ma’am.”
“Hmm.”
We were late due to traffic, and by the time we reached the courtyard, many people were already ther

was sitting in the center of the courtyard, a brush dancing across the paper in his hands.
Eden’s hand moved quickly; it seemed he was recovering well.
But suddenly, the large hand on my waist tightened.
I looked up and met Lewis’s gaze.
“If
f you keep looking, I’m going to get jealous.”
“I just didn’t expect to see him here.”
Lewis led me to the backyard.
As we walked past Eden, he looked up and gave me a piercing glance, as if he had something to say,
But Lewis and I walked quickly, not giving him the chance.
I didn’t like noise, so I sat with Lewis in the backyard for a while.
Just as we settled down, the Titus family pulled Lewis away.
Many CEOs had arrived and were looking for him.
“It’s fine; I can sit here by myself for a bit.”
Lewis nodded.
As soon as I left, I heard some noise coming from the bamboo grove.

Chapter 5
He alreddy knows, we’re divorced now, and you don’t care about me at all?
“Are you really this heartless? You weren’t like this when I returned to the country!”
From the sound, it seemed to be Elma Wallace.
Her sobs grew louder.
“I’m sorry, I… can’t let go of Rita.”
“But Rita is already married”
“Then I’ll never marry.”
ring Eden Robinson say these words now, my heart was already calm.
Back then, I would have sacrificed anything for Elma.
Now, for me, he was willing to give up everything
Men only care about what they cannot have, whether it’s a person or a thing.
“If you don’t care about me, what about the child? You don’t want the child either?”
Elma’s voice trembled.
The bamboo swayed, and I gradually saw the two figures inside.
Elma’s belly was already showing
Eden stared blankly at her belly.
“If you don’t want me, I’ll leave right now. Eden, you will never see me again.”
Eden opened his mouth but remained silent for a long time.
Then
“What about the child? Are you planning to terminate the pregnancy?”
Ina wiped away her tears, her gaze more resolute than ever.
“It’s none of your business.”
She wiped her face dry and turned to leave the bamboo grove.
