A bad premonition surged within me.
I excused myself, saying I had stomach pains and needed to go to the hospital.
The assistant was about to drive me, but I was quicker than him. Before he could reach out, I had already exited the car and hailed a taxi.
As I sat down, I patted my head in frustration.
How could 1 forget to take the medicine?
Waner had planned to marry into the Wells family using the baby.
But I had no such intentions!
With that kind of powerful family, wouldn’t my brain be chewed up and spit out if I tried to get in?
My anxiety led me straight to the hospital, where I rushed to the gynecology department.
But just after I had drawn blood, I saw Herman Wells‘ figure in the hallway.
Panicked, I quickly looked down and put on my mask, trying to avoid his gaze.
But before I could take more than a few steps, his bodyguards blocked my path.
I recognized these men; they were the ones who had dragged Waner away that night.
I swallowed involuntarily, my fingers curling with fear.
My mind raced, wondering if I could use their actions to blackmail Herman into helping me.
At that moment, I heard Kevin Brown’s voice.
“She really does look like her.”
“You’ve got sharp eyes. I didn’t recognize her after two years.”
“You wouldn’t happen to stare at my sister’s photo all day, would you?”
Before I could speak, Kevin smiled and greeted me.
“Winnie, we meet again.”
His expression
was a far cry from the cold, stern demeanor he wore in the office.
At this moment, his smile was like a warm spring breeze.

St couldn’t even dare to look him in the eyes.
Mr. Brown, what a coincidence. I came to the hospital for a stomach check–up.”
Tl leave if there’s nothing else.”
I tried to walk away, but someone grabbed my wrist from behind.
Herman’s deep voice echoed in the air.
“Leaving so quickly? Miss Swift, are you feeling guilty?”
At this point, there was no turning back, so I had to gamble that he hadn’t remembered my face from that night due to the drug.
1 gritted my teeth and turned around, forcing a smile.
“Mr. Wells, you’re joking. What would I have to feel guilty about? I don’t even know you…”
He gave a mocking smile, reached out, and grabbed the blood test report from my hand.
“Stomach trouble?”
I nodded.
“Then why does it say you’re pregnant?”
My face instantly turned pale, and I stammered in a panic.
“I–I think there’s been a mix–up. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Wells. I’ll go see a gastroenterologist now.”
Before I could take another step, Kevin raised an eyebrow.
“What’s going on here? You scared Winnie.”
“That’ll only make things worse, huh? You planning to kneel before my parents and beg for mercy?”
I didn’t understand what he said, but I knew that the only one who could save me now was him.
1 cautiously moved behind evin, not realizing the gentle look in his eyes.
He took my hand in front of Herman and said softly, “This hospital is also mine. I’ll take you there.”
Before I could say anything, he was already leading me out.
On the way, he casually asked, “Where are you living after quitting your job? I haven’t seen you around lately.”
“In a rented apartment… Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brown.”
His gaze swept over me again, as if he was looking at me with a touch of unspoken sympathy.

Why are you wearing this? I would’ve thought the Brown family pays well”
I didn’t answer, lowering my head.
For the past two years, I was afraid my ents would bleed me dry, so I never bought anything new.
Tused cheap products from places like Amazon.
As if he guessed my thoughts, he gently patted my head.
“You should take better care of yourself, you know? You don’t need to hide. Buy like from now on.”
Before I could process his words, he continued.
whatever you
“Actually, Herman Wells isn’t as cold as he seems. He’s a decent guy, What do you think?”
His words brought me back to that night’s madness.
I thought of how hot he’d been, and my ears turned red in a flash.
“Mm… he wasn’t cold, that’s for sure.”
But I couldn’t help but wonder–if he found out that night was with me, would he still be so calm?
I lowered my head, walking behind Kevin without realizing I had already left the hospital.
When I looked up, I was stunned.
He lightly scratched my nose and smiled.
“Alright, go rest now. Do you really think I can’t tell you’re lying?”
Before leaving, he looked at my face as if lost in a distant memory.
“You’re the same age as my sister. I wonder how she’s doing now. I wonder if she blames me for not finding her all
these years…
