Rebecca couldn’t stop herself from sobbing like a child who had been abandoned by her mother.
Ashton pulled her into his arms. “Rebecca, you’re not alone. You won’t be alone. Calm down, will you?”
“Don’t let her give birth to the baby, please,” Rebecca begged, her eyes swollen from all of her sobbing. “Ash, please don’t let her give birth to the baby. Do you want me to die?”
She sounded so determined.
Fury flashed across Ashton’s gaze. “Rebecca, stop it!”
Rebecca gave him a sudden shove as she grabbed a knife meant for the fruits and slashed her wrist.
Her actions were swift. Ashton and I had no idea that Rebecca would go to this extreme. Hence, the man panicked as he picked her up to bring her to the ER.
Rebecca clung to the bed’s railing, refusing to loosen her grip. She gazed at Ashton intently as she repeated, “Don’t let her give birth to the baby!”

I was no longer the inexperienced office worker. Now, I was capable enough to deal with various problems at work.
In my office, an elegantly dressed lady was sitting on the sofa, reading something on her phone.
I knocked twice on the half-closed door before I entered. “Mrs. Ludwick, I’m sorry to have made you wait. The traffic was really bad,” I greeted her with a smile.
Martha stood up at the sight of me. “No worries. I just arrived too.” She was smiling pleasantly.
After a brief exchange, Martha went straight to the point. “Mrs. Fuller, I’m sorry to disturb you at work. You know that Caleb signed a contract with Fuller Corporation earlier, right?
