Chapter 1

When Lydia, Harvey's childhood sweetheart, found out I was pregnant, she went crazy and drove her car straight at me in downtown.

"How dare you carry Harvey's child?"

My abdomen was in excruciating pain, and my head was bleeding profusely.

But when Harvey, my husband who's an ER doctor, arrived at the scene, he didn't even glance at me.

He rushed towards Lydia, cursing non-stop:

"It's all Isabella's fault. How dare she hurt you? I'll kill her!"

What he didn't know was that Cora, the heiress of the powerful Grace family, was also hit along with me.

If we died, the Grace family would make sure everyone responsible for our deaths would suffer a fate worse than death!

------

I jolted awake, immediately locking eyes with Lydia's face, contorted with rage.

"You whore, how dare you carry Harvey's child?!"

She screamed hysterically while slamming her foot on the gas pedal.

In the instant of impact, I felt as if I was swept away by an enormous force.

After a deafening crash, my mind went blank, only aware of warm liquid flowing beneath me.

Terrified, I clutched my stomach, wracked with unbearable pain.

Memories of being burned alive in my past life flashed through my mind again - Lydia and Harvey had locked me in the car, turning their backs as the flames engulfed it.

Fighting through excruciating pain, I struggled to crawl out of the car.

In the backseat, Cora was trapped, her face deathly pale and covered in blood.

"Please, save my baby..."

The agony made my head spin. I bit my tongue hard, desperately trying to stay conscious.

"It's okay, Cora. I know first aid. Everything will be fine..."

I reassured Cora as I crawled back into the car to fetch the first aid kit, but in the distance, I heard the wail of an ambulance.

The car door was badly warped from the crash. Try as I might, I couldn't open it. I could only watch helplessly as Harvey and the paramedics approached. Indeed, Lydia had planned everything in advance. How could she not have called Harvey beforehand?

The intense pain in my lower abdomen combined with the cold wind felt like a knife cutting through me, making it almost impossible to stand.

Harvey jumped out of the car, glaring at me furiously with his mouth turned down and his face full of venom.

"Lydia was right, it was you! You deliberately caused this accident!"

This scene was identical to my past life.

I calmly watched as Harvey and his team took all the emergency equipment and gathered around Lydia.

His apprentice passed by me, glancing in my direction and hesitating as if he wanted to come over, but Harvey barked at him.

"What are you doing? Can't you see she's fine?"

I pressed my lips together, saying nothing.

"Harvey! I'm a patient too, please save my baby!"

In my previous life, I had screamed loudly, but Harvey didn't even look at me and went straight to Lydia's side.

This time, I didn't hysterically beg him or plead for him to listen to my explanation.

The excruciating pain in my abdomen made it nearly impossible to speak, and I had no patience to waste words on these fools.

I used Cora's phone to directly dial her emergency contact. After Cora became pregnant, her family was very anxious, with the delivery team on standby 24/7.

I just needed to hold on for ten more minutes, and they would arrive.

I gritted my teeth and continued to provide first aid for both of us.

The pain in my stomach was intensifying, and the blood beneath me was flowing more profusely. I could barely keep hold of the scissors in my hand.

"Don't move, I'll help you."

A young nurse approached, wearing blue scrubs. She must be one of Harvey's apprentices.

Seeing my mangled lower leg, she gasped in shock.

"W-what happened? Aren't you pregnant?"

How could a pregnant woman be bleeding so much?

She seemed at a loss, but I struggled to maintain my composure and instructed her on how to treat my wound.

"First, disinfect it, then wrap it with a bandage. That's all."

"B-but..."

Her hand holding the tweezers was trembling. She touched my wound once, and I flinched in pain.

"I'll do it myself. You go help Cora with her injuries."
