Hearing Caroline's voice, Eliza finally opened her tired eyes and struggled to sit up. "Sis."

"Don't get up. Just stay put," Caroline said, helping her lay back down and pulling up a chair to sit by the bed. "Casper called me to look after you. He just admitted his mistakes to me, crying his eyes out, saying he was wrong."

Eliza didn't believe it. Casper was not the type to admit his mistakes. For more than two years she had been with him, and she had never seen him admit he was wrong. Even to his own mother, it seemed he had never lowered his head. He had admitted his mistake? She scoffed and shook her head. "Sis, even if he admits ten thousand mistakes, it won't bring back our baby."

"When did this happen?" Caroline grabbed Eliza's cold hand, looking at her with pity. "Why didn't you tell Casper you were pregnant? Actually, he was really hoping you two could have a child."

Casper hoped she would bear his child? No way. He wouldn't like it if she got pregnant. Even if he liked children, it would only be the ones Nova had.

"Sis, he's getting engaged to Nova," Eliza murmured, her eyelashes drooping slightly, losing their shine. "Even so, he won't let me go. What should I do?"

Eliza presented Caroline with her tough predicament. Casper was not one to be easily persuaded. Moreover, he always did things his way, without letting others have a say. When Eliza first married into the Welton family, she was cheerful, sunny, always wearing a radiant smile. Somewhere along the line, she became like this, her face full of sorrow. Despite her beauty and sweet smile, marriage had tormented her into a shadow of her former self. The Welton family had its responsibilities, but Casper's were greater.
