Chapter 2

I took the tweezers and, gritting my teeth, picked out the glass shards embedded in my flesh. Then I tore off a piece of my clothing and wrapped it around my leg, fashioning a makeshift bandage to stop the bleeding.

"Ahh—"

While tending to the wound, I couldn't hold back and accidentally reopened one of my injuries, causing blood to gush out more fiercely.

Harvey's apprentice turned pale with fright. She caught her breath and whispered in Harvey's ear:

"Your wife is bleeding from her pregnancy. The situation is extremely serious. We... we need to go back right away..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Another medical staff member glared at me and scolded irritably:

"You're new here and don't know what's going on. Don't let her fool you!"

"Exactly. She's certainly 'prepared' well enough to even trick you."

"This is the third time she's done this this week, just to get Mr. Blaine's attention."

"Shameless, wasting so much public resources. You'd think the hospital was built by her family. Let's all ignore her and let her fend for herself!"

"..."

I closed my eyes, my face pale.

I had always known they would mock me, but hearing it firsthand still made my heart clench. Harvey doesn't care about me, and I never expected his colleagues would treat me the same way...

In the next moment, Cora regained consciousness. She abruptly sat up, pushed through the crowd, and stared intently at Harvey.

"Mr. Blaine, Isabella is pregnant! Please, save her and the baby!"

I looked at Cora, tears welling up in my eyes.

Even though she might lose her own child, she still gave her only chance of survival to me.

Thinking back to my past life, it was because Harvey's rescue wasn't timely enough that Cora and I both perished in the fire.

Overwhelmed with guilt, I knew I had to save Cora no matter what!

Gritting my teeth, I used my last ounce of strength to tend to her injuries.

As the sound of ambulance sirens filled the air, I breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the medical staff:

"She's the sole heir to the Grace family. You'd better notify the hospital to allocate some emergency resources here."

The Grace family was wealthy and influential. Given her status, the hospital should allocate some resources.

However, as soon as I finished speaking, the medical staff began to sneer.

"You really came prepared, huh? Even bringing in the female heir of the Grace family.""If she's the female heir to the Grace family, then I'm the President!"

"You must have spent a fortune to put on this act, huh?"

"Since Mr. Blaine won't give you the time of day, you're resorting to this to get his attention?"

Harvey looked at me with contempt, a cold smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"You're really going too far now. First, you had me accompany you to the Grace family's New Year's Eve gala, and now you're claiming you were in a car accident with the Grace family's heiress."

"There's a limit to how much you can lie!"

He glared at me, veins popping on his forehead, as he shouted angrily:

"You've always said you didn't want kids after we got married. How could you possibly be pregnant?!"

"Stop this nonsense!"

With that, he left with all the medical staff to tend to Lydia.

Lydia had been protected by the car's airbags and only had some minor scrapes. She didn't need any care at all.

But Harvey just refused to look at me again.

Married for three years, it was clearly him who didn't want children.

Thinking about this, I felt disturbed.

Just then, I felt my belly tighten a little, as if my sweetheart was moving.
