Chapter 5

Penulis: Alley
When I woke up, a young nurse pushed the door open and walked in.

She said, "The sample didn't make it. It shattered completely. IVF won't be possible anymore."

"What about Hannah? How is she?"

The nurse looked at me, her eyes full of sympathy.

"Her uterus was removed. She won't be able to have children in the future."

I froze for three seconds.

Then I burst out laughing.

I laughed until tears poured out, until my wounds tore open, until I looked like a madman from a psychiatric ward.

    "I checked the pawnshop transaction records. Your name and Adrian's name were written on them. You pawned it for seventy-five thousand dollars back then!"I was so agitated my entire body trembled."Do you know what that was? That was our family's heirloom! The only thing my father left us to remember him by!"From that day on, I started suspecting you. I installed hidden cameras in your car and in your home."And everything I saw was so filthy it made me sick."Just then, a group of police officers walked in.They immediately put handcuffs on them.Adrian struggled like a madman."Why are you arresting me? They did everything! It has nothing to do with me!"Hannah said she had liked me since we were children. She's the one who stole that pendant to please me!"Maya walked out from the crowd.She stood beside me."Your crime really doesn't have anything to do with those things."She took out a document and displayed it in front of the cameras."But you can't escape this o

    "So, the little girl came."Sure enough, after I fell completely in love with her, that man's company came back to life, her father's cancer recovered, and everything improved."But then they grew greedy again."The man's son wanted to study abroad, but the man refused. So his son went to his childhood friend, the girl who had approached me."He had her use me to steal the heirloom my mother had hidden away."It was a rare emerald pendant. At the time, I didn't know how much it was worth. I thought it was only worth a few thousand dollars."Only later did I find out it sold at auction for seven hundred fifty thousand dollars."Hannah screamed at me like she had gone mad."Stop talking! I'm begging you, stop talking!"I ignored her."The woman in this story is Hannah Hayes's mother. Marjorie."The man is Adrian Pierce's father."Marjorie's face turned deathly pale at once. She waved her hands again and again."No! No! Don't listen to him! He has no proof! He's making it all

    "Fake!" she screamed. "It's fake! Jason Cole, you've used this trick countless times! You edited it! It's synthetic!"Adrian reacted too, looking deeply wronged."Jason, how could you do this? I have no grudge against you. Why are you framing me?"Those friends echoed him."Exactly! It must be edited!""Jason, can you stop making a scene?"I looked at the smug gleam in their eyes.Then I took another document from my bag."This is an authentication report from an authoritative agency."This video is not synthetic. It's the original footage."The crowd was in an uproar again.Hannah's face went completely white."Even if it's real!" someone in the crowd shouted. "So what? Your wife cheated, but that doesn't mean you can stand by and watch her die! It doesn't mean you can demand her parents' property!""Right!" someone else agreed. "Cheating is cheating, but you went too far too!"I smiled coldly."You're right. One affair alone wouldn't justify this."But what if I said

    I went there at once.When I pushed the door open, I froze.The cafe was already packed with reporters from every major media outlet.Hannah sat in a wheelchair in the center, with Adrian pushing her.Richard and Marjorie sat on chairs beside them, their faces full of tears.When Hannah saw me come in, her eyes reddened. She had Adrian push her toward me, then took my hand."Jason, you're here!"Don't misunderstand. I didn't call all these reporters here to do anything to you."She faced the cameras with deep affection on her face."I only want everyone to witness my love for you."She took the divorce agreement from her pocket and held it up to the cameras."This is the divorce agreement my husband gave me. It says he wants everything the Hayes family owns."I'd like everyone here to witness that I'm willing to give it to him."She looked at me as tears slid down her cheeks."I'm willing to give him everything I have, because I've always loved him. Even if he refused to

    "Thank you, Evelyn." I bowed to her. "I haven't rested in more than twenty years. I want to rest for a while too."With that, I left and returned to my mother's place.The next day, I went to the hospital to see Hannah.When she saw me, she grabbed the cup by the bed and hurled it at me."Jason!"I dodged sideways.The cup smashed against the wall with a bang and shattered all over the floor."You still dare to come here!"She struggled to sit up."You made sure I can never have children again! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"You're useless. You wouldn't save me, and you couldn't even protect the IVF sample! Go die! Go die!"I didn't speak.I just stood there quietly and watched her vent and curse.Only when she had exhausted herself and could no longer speak did I point leisurely at the curtain."Come out, Adrian. Stop hiding."The space behind the curtain went quiet for three seconds.Then came a light laugh.The man who had paid her medical fees walked out.He

Why did you refuse to save her?""Your wife treated you so well. How could you be so cruel?""Did you want her dead all along?"Suddenly, Marjorie rushed out of the crowd with her hair disheveled and tears all over her face. She pounced on me and clawed at my clot
