Corrie swiftly left the garden, made her way to the parking lot, and approached her Ferrari. She skillfully opened
the door and slipped inside.
Sitting in the driver's seat, she didn’t rush to leave. Instead, she pulled a box of cigarettes from her Hermes
purse. With a slim cigarette between her fingers, she inhaled deeply, letting the smoke swirl in her mouth before
exhaling a cloud of gray.
Staring blankly into the distance, she beclost in thought.
The nLouis hadn't crossed her mind in a long while. Hearing it again moments ago had made her heart skip
a beat, something that hadn't happened in ages.
Louis had died because of Jayden.
In that car accident a year ago, Louis had been right next to him.
Pressing her restless heart, Corrie murmured, “You deserved to die, didn’t you? Only you perished in that crash. |

She added bitterly, “Louis, you were really foolish. No wonder only you died in that accident.”
After a long pause, Corrie chuckled. “But who would've thought Jayden cared about your death? He's really a
heartless man.”
Peyton might see Jayden as a kind man with a conscience, but she knew better. In her view, Jayden was an

With a sigh, she said, “Jayden is such a madman. | can’t believe Elyse loves him so much. They must both be
abnormal.”
Corrie flicked the ash from her cigarette out the window, suddenly thinking of Elyse. Why had Elyse visited the
Obstetrics and Gynecology Department? Was she pregnant?
Corrie’s face grew serious as she pondered. Then, with a burst of laughter, she said, “Don’t blme, Elyse.
Jayden hurtfirst. My only way to fight back is through you.”
With a sly smile, she discarded the cigarette and sped out of the parking lot.
Meanwhile, Elyse returned to her stuafter Pearce left. Irving approached with a box of cookies, saying, “These
are chocolate cookies from my friend. Are you hungry? Want some?”
Elyse caught the scent of chocolate and felt nauseous again. She suppressed it and replied, “No, thanks. | had
plenty outside.”
Irving casually set the box on the table. “I'll just leave it here. Remember to eat if you get hungry.”
She nodded, grabbed her violin, and dashed out of the studio.
She focused on her violin practice. As long as there were no strong smells, she could avoid nausea and play
normally.
After two hours of practice, it was lunch break. Gavin and the others invited Elyse to join them.
Without hesitation, she declined, “No, thanks. My friend is coming over today. I'll eat with her.”

Gavin accepted her excuse without question. “Alright, enjoy your meal with your friend. We're heading out now.”
Elyse waved them off, then sighed and returned to the studio.
She had no friend joining her for lunch. Alone, she ate her bland porridge.
After slowly finishing her meal, she cleaned her bowl and spoon. Then she headed back to the stugarden to
resher violin practice.
An hour later, Fiona returned with a small cake in hand. Approaching Elyse warmly, she said, “Elyse, let's share
this cake. Gavin and Irving aren’t fans, so | thought of you.”
Elyse didn’t notice her at first. By the tshe did, Fiona was right beside her. The smell of the cake made her
dizzy, and she couldn't help but retch.
Alarmed, Fiona asked, “Are you alright?”
Elyse squatted, covering her chest as she dry-heaved, but nothing cup.
Fiona’s eyes widened with realization. “Elyse, are you pregnant?”
Elyse froze, forcing a smile. “No, you guessed wrong.”
