She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

"The mother is experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage and needs an immediate cesarean section!"

"Where are the family members? A family member's signature is required!"

"The family members are not here, and we can't get through on the phone!"

Inside the VIP delivery room at Beijing First People's Hospital.

The air was thick with a pungent, metallic smell of blood.

Doctors and nurses were coming and going.

Lin Qingran, lying on the delivery bed, had her slender white legs raised, completely unaware that blood had already soaked the bedding.

In my ears, I heard the nurse's anxious and distressed calls.

"Ms. Lin, wake up! Where are your family members? You need to sign the consent form immediately for a cesarean section! Do you know how to contact them?"

"You're experiencing severe bleeding, and it's due to a rare blood type. If you delay any longer, not only could the baby suffocate in the womb, but your life could also be in danger at any moment!"

Sweat soaked her black hair, making her face appear even paler.

Lin Qingran vaguely remembered that today seemed to be Lin Yuyan's birthday.

Her family, including her husband and her five-year-old son, should be at the Lin family home with Lin Yuyan at this time.

When she got up in the morning, she prepared breakfast for the two adults and the child, having tried to discuss it with them.

"Xiuheng, today is my due date. I might have to go to the hospital to give birth. After you get off work, could you spare some time to come to the hospital to be with me?"

Fu Xiuheng slowly finished his cup of hot milk, glanced at her protruding belly under her nightgown, and his eyes darkened. "I don't have time today. I promised Yuyan I'd go to the Lin family to celebrate her birthday!"

Fu Xiuheng withdrew his icy gaze, stood up, picked up a Patek Philippe watch from the table, put it on, and said in a chilling tone, "It's your sister's birthday, and you don't want to go? Fine, but you insist on setting your due date today?"

He didn't insist, only gave a light snort, his black tailcoat accentuating his noble and handsome face.

"You don't need to pick up your son this afternoon; I'll take him with me."

The driver has arrived.

Fu Xiuheng didn't look at her again and strode out of the restaurant.

The first rays of dawn enveloped his handsome and upright figure, just as they had been when they first met six years ago, showing him only indifference towards Lin Qingran.

Fu Xingze, Fu Xiuheng's son who looked almost exactly like him, put down his chopsticks just like his father. "I'm not eating either! Humph! You know I hate drinking milk, but you still force me to drink it. Aunt Yanyan's chestnut cake is the best!"

Fu Xingze poured half a glass of milk into the trash can with a displeased look on his face.

Then he picked up the gift box next to him, slid off the chair, and followed Fu Xiuheng.

To make breakfast for the father and son, Lin Qingran, despite being heavily pregnant, got up at four in the morning.

The anticipated warm and cozy time quickly turned into a cold and desolate room.

Her heart felt as if it had been thrown into the freezing snow and crushed by the father and son.

The pain was suffocating, and blood was dripping from my chest.

Even her belly was starting to sag, and she couldn't even stand up straight!

She knew that Fu Xiuheng hated her, hated that her appearance made Lin Yuyan feel ashamed.

So even though he was forced to marry her by his family and agreed to have a child with the Fu family, he still made her taste the bitterness of being neglected in the grave of their five-year marriage.

In the past two years, even her son, whom she carried for ten months, seems to have been infected by Fu Xiuheng.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

For five whole years, she loved them, father and son, so much.

She loved them so much that she was willing to give up everything for them. She thought that one day, their family of four could become the happiest family of four in the world.

But she never expected that when she was lying on the delivery bed suffering from severe postpartum hemorrhage, and she and her daughter were on the verge of death.

Fu Xiuheng, as a husband and father, not only refused to answer the phone or show up, but also went to celebrate another woman's birthday as if nothing had happened.

How could they be so cruel to her?

She was unwilling to give up!

Lin Qingran's eyes were bloodshot, her voice hoarse and broken as she gripped the midwife's sleeve tightly, fighting back tears. "Could you please give me my phone?"

Fu Xiuheng's phone was unreachable.

She then called her father, mother, and brother!

But still, no one was willing to answer her calls.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and sent a video call invitation to Lin Yuyan on WeChat!

The video call was connected very quickly!

As soon as the call connected, Lin Qingran heard Lin Yuyan's gentle yet harmless boasting, each word piercing her heart and causing it to bleed.

"Sister Qingran? Why didn't you come to my birthday party?"

"Look, Xiuheng and Xingze prepared a fireworks banquet for me, I really love it!"

Under a sky full of dazzling fireworks.

Her husband, Fu Xiuheng, stood behind Lin Yuyan, holding their son, Fu Xingze, his eyes filled with a tenderness she had never experienced before.

Her son, Fu Xingze, clapped his hands and shouted, his face full of admiration. He even gave Lin Yuyan a kiss on the cheek, saying, "Happy birthday, Aunt Yanyan! Xingze loves you the most!"

Even her biological parents, Shen Pei'an and Zhou Lan, and her brother Shen Qiyan, were all surrounding Lin Yuyan to offer their blessings, their eyes only on their most beloved adopted daughter, Lin Yuyan.

It turns out, they're more like a family!

But what about her?

She's lying on the delivery bed, about to die!

Lin Qingran closed her eyes in despair, biting her lip tightly. "I'm looking for Fu Xiuheng! Please let Fu Xiuheng answer the phone!"

"It's Lin Qingran again! She's been calling everyone all night like a nagging ghost, what's she up to?"

"Yuyan finally had a chance to have a happy birthday, but she had to ruin it!"

She heard her elder brother, Shen Qiyan, angrily accuse her.

"Brother, don't talk about sister like that!" Lin Yuyan spoke up for her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Qingran, please don't be angry. I'll get your husband on the phone right away."

She smiled bitterly, even though her heart was riddled with holes, she was already numb.

The video swayed as it turned to Fu Xiuheng's face.

The man's handsome facial features were magnified in the darkness.

Those dark, swirling eyes froze her heart through the phone screen.

Lin Qingran endured the excruciating pain, unable to contain the grievances of pregnancy and childbirth, "Fu Xiuheng! I'm experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage and need a family member to come and sign some papers. Could you please come over?"

Seeing her pale, sweaty face in the camera lens, Fu Xiuheng's brows furrowed deeply.

But then, thinking back on the past, he let out a cold laugh.

"Lin Qingran, it's just having a baby! Do you find the story of the boy who cried wolf funny? Trying this trick again?"

She also suffered a difficult labor and severe bleeding!

When Xingze was born last time, he was fooled by her with this kind of lie before!

As the effects of the pain-relieving anesthesia wore off, Lin Qingran gritted her teeth in pain, wanting to scream and growl!

The IV needle pierced the back of her hand as she gripped the bed rail tightly, causing it to snap.

Tears welled in her eyes, and she was in so much pain that she could barely hold her phone.

With a heart as cold as ashes, he choked out in a low, sobbing voice, "I only ask you, are you coming or not?"

Fu Xiuheng felt inexplicably irritated, his face dark and unreadable.

"I'm not going! Or, if you'd like, you can wait until after Yu Yan's birthday party!"

Fu Xiuheng hated being threatened by her the most.

In this world, in this lifetime, the only time he couldn't follow his heart and was forced to marry her was when he was forced to.

Lin Qingran's phone fell onto the delivery bed. She gave a bitter smile, and the tears she had been holding back finally burst forth.

"If you don't come, we're getting a divorce!"
