Chapter 2

I ran four red lights and finally managed to get Olivia to the emergency room at the nearest hospital.

"Doctor! Doctor, please save my wife!"

Several nurses rushed out with a stretcher, their faces paling at once when they saw the state that Olicia was in.

"She's got a major hemorrhage! Quick! Get the gynae! Get the head gynae!"

Olivia was wheeled straight into the emergency room, and the red light outside the door instantly turned red.

My legs went weak and turned into jelly as I collapsed to my knees outside in the hallway. Less than a minute later, a nurse ran up to me with a surgery consent form.

"Hurry up and sign this! The patient has placental abruption and severe hemorrhage, and both her and her baby's lives are in danger! We must begin the surgery right away!"

I trembled as I signed my name.

I sank to my knees before the emergency door, praying hard for the safety of both Olivia and my child. I would willingly give up my life for their safety.

Just then, my phone vibrated incessantly in my pocket. I took it out, looked at the screen, and saw that I had dozens of missed calls from my friends and relatives. The call log indicated that I had more than "99+ missed calls".

I tapped into the family group chat, where a video was being widely circulated online.

It was a screen recording of Billy's live stream at the travel center, and the video had been maliciously edited to remove my explanation, leaving behind only the scenes of me crawling out from under the car, Billy shouting "Thief!" at me, and my car later ramming through the barricades to "escape".

The comments under the video were vicious.

"What an arrogant thief! I bet this isn't his first rodeo. He rammed through the barricade in a stolen car because he was guilty!"

"That pregnant woman must be part of his syndicate too! They're just preying on other people's sympathy!"

"Dox his entire family and post them online! They must all be punished until they can no longer hold their heads up in society!"

There was a long string of text accompanying the video. It exposed my full name, my phone number, my social security number, and even the address of my auto repair shop.

Even the hospital where Olivia had been going for her prenatal checkups was all exposed online.

A friend asked me what happened. However, before I could even reply, the doors to the emergency room opened, and a nurse rushed out.

"Are you Ms. Olivia White's family member? The patient's blood pressure has plummeted! One of the nurses was gossiping earlier, saying that a car thief's wife had come in with severe bleeding and trauma, and the patient overheard her.

"She suddenly became agitated, and her condition is extremely dangerous!"

I immediately jumped to my feet, my vision blurring and turning black.

Just then, there was a loud commotion coming from the other end of the hallway. Three oddly dressed men and women with long selfie sticks walked over. The leader of the group spat as he walked up to us, pointing the camera at me.

"Guys! We've all made it to the hospital. We're going to expose that fake pregnant woman's true colors and see if she was just stuffing a pillow or a blood bag under her clothes after all!"

They shouted in the hallway, completely disregarding the fact that they were currently in a hospital. They began shoving every ward door open, peering into each ward to find me.

As I read the hospital poster on the wall that encouraged people to donate blood to save the lives of others, I suddenly felt a murderous intent washing over me.

The light in the emergency room finally went out, and the doctor wheeled Olivia out, her face pale and eyes tightly shut.

The leader of the livestreaming group immediately caught sight of us and rushed up to us with their cameras, shoving them in Olivia's pale face.

"See this? The bitch who pretended to be pregnant is now pretending to be in a dead faint! Ha! Who does she think she's fooling?"

I didn't waste another breath and grabbed him by the collar, yanking him off right away. I slapped him hard on the cheek and grabbed his phone before flinging it onto the ground, where the screen immediately shattered.

His two other strong accomplices saw what was happening and rushed up to me with their fists raised. I lifted my leg and kicked one of them straight in the stomach, sending him flying more than five feet away before he fell against a hospital bench.

Then I picked up the selfie stick off the ground and snapped it in two, waving it in the live streamer's face.

"If you dare to take another step toward me, I will kill you even if it means I have to spend the rest of my life in jail!"
