“Caroline, why do you look so happy?” Elizabeth asked deliberately. “Is it because you know my pregnancy is unstable, that I’ve been bleeding, and… and you’re secretly gloating over it?”
Caroline shook her head repeatedly. “No, absolutely not.”
“Then what is it? I’ve been lying in this hospital bed, faking medicine and injections every day just to protect this baby. I feel awful, yet you’re standing here smiling… You’re pregnant, and so am I. But you don’t seem to struggle at all. You even go to work every lay.”
“That’s because you’re delicate. You’re precious. Me? I’m just an ordinary woman, tough and rough. Forget going to work—if you made me do housework too, I wouldn’t even blink.”
Elizabeth clenched her teeth.
She really was suffering. The bleeding was real.
Pregnancy was exhausting–she had finally experienced that firsthand. And this was only the beginning.
But then she looked at Caroline–healthy, energetic, glowing with a rosy complexion–and a wave of resentment surged within her.
It wasn’t fair.
Especially considering everything she had done to target Caroline before–kidnapping her, poisoning her, trying every possible way to make her miscarry–yet Caroline had made it through unscathed.
Why? Is this what they mean by “only the wicked thrive“?
That thought made Elizabeth feel a little better.
Of course. I’m the precious one here. I’m carrying the Ellison family’s bloodline. Naturally, I deserve the best care and treatment. Caroline is nothing compared to me.
Still, Elizabeth was annoyed. “Mr. Ellison, why did you bring her here? Seeing her so happy makes me… I feel even worse…”

“I wanted her to witness the difference in fate. She’s carrying an illegitimate child. You, on the other hand, are different.”
David thought this statement would wound Caroline.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated.
This time, Caroline couldn’t hold it in–she burst out laughing.
Seeing David’s sharp gaze and Elizabeth’s hateful expression only made her laugh harder. She waved her hands as she gasped for air, trying to explain, “No, no, you’ve got it all wrong! I swear I’m not gloating–I just… I just can’t help it…”
She tried to stifle her laughter, but the more she held back, the harder it was to stop. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen a pregnant woman check into a hospital at
Haha! She must be so delicate! Maybe she s carrying a royal heir! Elizabeth, you’d better be extra careful. I C conception and plan to stay until she gives birth.

showers, you shouldn’t even let your feet touch the ground. Just stay in bed and rest properly… Haha! That way, in ten months, the baby will be born safe and sound!”
Caroline was laughing so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.
It was just too funny.
She had thought David had dragged her here for something important, but in the end…
This? This is it? So what if David treated Elizabeth with tenderness and care? Their so–called display of affection…
Felt so fake. And weird.
She didn’t care at all.
Watching them, Caroline couldn’t shake the feeling that David and Elizabeth were like two actors, awkwardly thrown together for a scene, trying to perform for an invisible camera.
If anything, Elizabeth played her part better. Her acting felt more natural. But David?
He wasn’t into it at all.
His expression, his movements–none of it was convincing.
Caroline pondered. Even that one night, when he had held me in his arms and murmured I love you in his sleep… he had sounded far more sincere than he did now.
