He shoved Listina away abruptly.

Although Listina's surgery was successful, her body was still in recovery. The push sent her stumbling backward several steps.

Her eyes remained red, tears plopping down her cheeks.

Felix's face was calm as he glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was already eight in the evening, and in four hours, it would be Christmas’ Day.

"Listina, you should go home."

"lI won't! Why are you still marrying her?! Felix, I just can't understand. What am I to you? Didn't you say before that you only had

hatred for her, not love? Didn't you say it was all for revenge? Now that she's down and out, we can just take over the Miller

family’s company, drive her away. Why marry her!"

Her face was frenzied, her lips quivering.

Felix remained silent, a frown creasing his brow, as he reached for a cigarette.

Listina's expression softened considerably, her voice turning gentle.

"Felix, deep down, you can't letgo either. We've known each other for years, and you've always been so good to me. Now,

you're just being misled by Carol. If you drive her away, we can get married and live a good life, I'll bear you a healthy baby boy."

Felix, however, turned his gaze to the servant standing by, his tone indifferent, "Take her home."

"Felix!"

Panic flashed in Listina's eyes. Something had changed since her surgery.

She stood rooted to the spot, watching Felix flick his cigarette butt into the nearby trash can and head upstairs.
