Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"Babe, everything I did, I did out of love for you. I just wanted to be with you, that's all. Can you forgive me this one time? I promise, there won't be a next time!"

Murray's face remained impassive as he slightly curled his lip, observing her desperate attempts to salvage their relationship. His eyes filled with a frosty disdain, "Do you even realize that what you've done is criminal?!" "Don't use loving me as an excuse. You hurt the person who means the most to me. Is that how you show your love? When it comes down to it, you did all this for yourself!"

"We're done. From now on, stay out of my life. I don't want to have anything to do with you."

Millie tried to reach for the hem of his shirt, but Murray narrowed his eyes and coldly warned, "I won't repeat myself. Considering you once saved my life, I'll let you off this time. But don't think you'll always be this lucky." With that, he got into his car without looking back and sped away.

Millie wanted to follow him, but after taking a few steps, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

She was generally in good health and rarely experienced menstrual cramps. Moreover, perhaps due to recent stress, her period had been delayed by over two weeks.

Feeling a damp sensation, and with Murray's car disappearing into the distance, Millie had no choice but to head to the hospital.

After an emergency consultation, the doctor asked her a few questions and then ordered several routine tests.

Half an hour later, holding her test results, Millie was still in shock. "You're saying...I'm pregnant?"

The doctor confirmed, "The HCG test is positive. You're in the early stages of pregnancy. The bleeding isn't severe, so just take good care of yourself."
