| pursed my lips. "My child died in my stomach when | was just about to deliver."
The doctor pondered for a very long tbefore saying slowly, "Miss, judging from your condition, you just need
to take extra care and you should be fine-provided you're not planning to have kids. If you have plans to
conceive, I'm afraid it'll be hard. You're not in good health to begin with, and now that your uterus is bleeding, it
can easily endanger both the mother’s and the baby's lives. I'm sure the doctors you visited previously have told
you that you can't have any more kids."
His words cdown like a basin of cold water, soakingall the way down to the soles of my feet.
"The baby must have struggled when they were in your womb as the lining of your uterus is wounded. Even if
your eggs are fertilized, it'll be hard for the fetus to survive in your uterus."
After a pause, the doctor continued, "Besides, at your age, whether or not you can conceive is another question
altogether. Even if you do manage to conceive, you may not be able to deliver the child smoothly. My suggestion

| was completely deaf to whatever he said after that.
When | stepped out of the hospital and got hit by the wind, | got even dizzier.
How absurd could life get? Just as one was filled with hope to start anew, reality gave one a hard slap across the
face, making it impossible to move on.
"Wanda." A man's voice rang out behind me.
I turned around and looked at the man in a daze.
It had been so long since | last saw Matthew. He seemed much haggard and weary now.
He said toin a deep and low voice, "Let's talk.”
| frowned and replied coldly, "We have nothing to talk about."
He let out a self-deprecating chuckle. "Do you findthat loathsome?"
| pursed my lips and was not going to say anything else.
"You must be happy now that Zimmer Corporations has fallen into Theo's hands and I'm being investigated,
right? I'll most likely be prosecuted. That way, | won't bother you anymore."
He said those words with a smile as if he were talking about someone else.
| pursed my lips. "What do you want to talk about?"
Matthew sighed softly. "Let’s find a place to sit down
and talk."
I nodded. "Sure."
In the end, we sat down on a bench outside the hospital. It was not that cold today, hence it was fine t o stay
outdoors for a longer time.
Neither of us spoke first. It was only when | looked at him and noticed that he was looking atdid I chuckle
and ask, "Do you regret saving my life?"
He was a little stunned but later smiled. "I've never once regretted it. I'm even glad | saved you."
| pursed my lips. "I don't understand why Theo is suddenly getting rid of Zimmer Corporations. He doesn't want

Matthew's gaze was deep as he said slowly, "I never told you that the baby was still alive when he was removed
from your womb. Due to prolonged lack of oxygen, he suffered from brain damage and couldn't survive for long."
My heart stopped for a moment, and then it began to hurt.
There was suddenly pain in his eyes. "I asked the doctor about the success rate but the doctor said that i t was
almost zero. Do you know what it means when a doctor says that? He had directly given a death sentence. The
baby was placed in an incubator and | watched him from outside for two days straight. | saw him open his eyes.
They were huge and bright. They looked a lot like yours. | figured he would be a charming young man when he
grew up.”
After a pause, he continued, "I'm really sorry. The chances were too slim, so | chose to give up on him while you
were still unconscious."
