Chapter 3

Fintan dragged the still sobbing Seraphina out of the room.

Only the female doctor and nurses remained in the hospital room, preparing for the procedure. They couldn't help but marvel.

"Oh my God! Mr. Gerald is so devoted. He's sticking by his wife even though she's in a vegetative state."

"Not only does he visit Mrs. Gerald at the hospital every week, but he even personally gives her massages and sponge baths."

"Mrs. Gerald must have done something amazing in her past life to meet such a wonderful man in this one."

"I hope they succeed in getting pregnant. A child would be such a comfort to Mr. Gerald, given his deep love."

The doctor picked up her instruments, preparing to perform the procedure on me. A shiver ran through me as the cold metal touched my skin.

No... Get away! Get away!

Take it all away. I don't want a child like this to be born into the world.

My mind was screaming, but no one could see my breakdown.

Why? Why are they doing this to me?

Haven't I suffered enough, becoming a "zombie"?

Why humiliate me like this?

Fintan, I should never have saved you.

Three years ago, when the accident happened, I instinctively pushed him away. That's why I didn't avoid injury in time.Is it possible that from the very beginning, I fell in love with the wrong person?

Tears of humiliation fell, more and more.

"Huh? Why is Mrs. Gerald crying?"

Thank goodness, someone saw me crying.

Please stop.

A female nurse chimed in.

"She must be overwhelmed with emotion!"

"Mrs. Gerald surely understands her husband's intentions now. Their love is truly enviable."

No, that's not it. Please stop.

I don't need a child at all.

Help me, won't someone help me?

The nurse leaned down to comfort me.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Gerald. We'll make sure you and your husband have a love child."

"Wishing you both happiness and fulfillment!"

No matter how much I resisted or how unwilling I was, the egg retrieval process was eventually completed.

Tears kept flowing out, the pain in my heart surpassing the physical harm.

I don't know how to describe the helplessness I feel right now. Despair?

It's a despair deeper than despair itself.

The doctor told Fintan everything went smoothly, his eyes brimming with joy.

"Serenity, we'll definitely have our own child."

I don't know how much time passed before Fintan came to see me, excitedly telling me.

"Serenity, we're going to be parents."He takes my hand and guides it to Seraphina's belly.

"Can you feel it? This is our child."

"Serenity, you must stay strong. The baby and I are waiting for you to wake up."

Feeling Fintan's touch, a sense of revulsion spreads throughout my body.

Let go of me, you're both disgusting.

Seraphina is like a little bunny, fragile and harmless.

"Brother Fintan, although I've wronged you both in the past, I've been trying to atone for my sins these past three years."

"Can you promise Seraphina that you'll forgive me once I give birth to this child?"

Fintan looks at her with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Shut up. You're in no position to make demands."

"Take good care of mine and Serenity's child, and I'll naturally treat you well."

Seraphina giggles coyly, hooking his pinky finger.

"Brother Fintan, pinky promise. Don't lie to Seraphina~"

Fintan pulls her into his arms, kissing her urgently.

"Sweetheart, while you're still early in the pregnancy, can you take care of me one more time..."

"Oh, you're so naughty~"

"Sweetheart, look how bad daddy is, always bullying mommy."Listening to the word "mom," Fintan's eyes immediately turned blood-red as he gripped Seraphina's throat.

"Serenity is the child's mother. Don't you dare try to steal her place."

"I'm sorry, Fintan. I'm so sorry..."

Seraphina's stockinged feet kept rubbing against Fintan as she offered him a passionate kiss, her eyes rimmed with red.

Fintan hesitated for a moment, but then pressed her head down and continued his conquest.

The sound of their passion spread...

A suffocating feeling kept growing in my chest, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

The heart monitor's alarm interrupted them.
