Chapter 1
"Miss Smith, you''re pregnant.’’ The doctor''s words were like a thunderp, making the sleepy Nora
Smith''s eyes widen suddenly
“...What?"
How could this be?! Although she was neen years old, she had never been intimate with anyone of
the opposite sex! However, the doctor handed her the medical report.
"You''re already in your fourth month of pregnancy.You''re not in good health, so you won''t be able to
surgically inducebor.You can only choose to give birth to the child."
Nora returned home in a daze.
After Nora''s father gave her a stern scolding, he searched the surveince cameras, only to find that
four months ago, she was indeed staying at home obediently due to poor health, and hadn''t gone out
at all! However, outsiders didn''t believe it.
Everyone secretly mocked her: "Her belly is already so big, yet she''s still giving excuses and saying
that she didn''t stray with some man.The Grays are so pitiful.Why do they have to be engaged to such a
person?!"
"She''s fat and ugly from the start, and neither is her family background very good.It was a few lifetimes’
worth of blessings that she could climb the socialdder by having a connection with the Grays.Now
that she’s gotten herself pregnant before the wedding, surely the Grays will break off the engagement,
right?"
Amid all the spections, Anthony Gray paid the Smiths a visit.
At that time, Nora''s belly was already bulging.
At eight months of pregnancy, her belly was big enough to cover her toes.
In the study, Nora''s father asked cautiously, "Anthony, are you thinking of breaking off the
engagement?"
Anthony gave an unexpected answer: "...No, my grandfather refuses to!"
The Grays were a top-ss rich and powerful family while they, the Smiths, were just middle-ss.
Even if they took the opportunity to break off the engagement, no one would be able to criticize the
Grays for it.
By refusing to break off the engagement, what were they after? The more Anthony thought about it, the
angrier he became .
He cursed irritably, "The sight of her pig-like face already disgusted me from the start, and now she''s
even pregnant with some guy''s child.Why should I be the hero to take over the responsibility?"
Nora''s father immediately said, "Don''t worry, Anthony.I''ll send the baby away immediately after she
gives birth!"
Nora, who had kept quiet this whole time, suddenly raised her head.
"No."
In the past few months, she had gone from hesitating to being at a loss, and then to a state of
reluctantly epting reality.
She could feel her child''s heartbeat more and more clearly as each day passed, and she had already
long since developed feelings for it.
The child was innocent.
They mustn''t abandon it.
She wanted an annulment! But it was at this exact moment that she suddenly felt waves of pain and
convulsions in her abdomen.
This...She was about to go intobor’! Five yearster.
"Mommy, wake up.The ne is taxiing.” The crisp voice made Nora open her eyes, upon which she
immediately saw a delicate, adorable, and young face.
Cherry Smith''s big grape-like eyes blinked, and she rested her chin on her hands.
"Mommy, did wee back to the States this time to look for Daddy?"
Nora stretched and sat upzily in herfortable business-ss seat.
She said lightly, "You don''t have a father"
Cherry sighed like an adult.
"I''m not a three-year-old anymore.I''m not going to believe your nonsense.I don''t have a father? Surely I
couldn''t have just popped out of a rock, right?"
Nora didn''t reply, as she tied up her shoulder-length hair.
Her fair skin and sharp, pert nose, coupled with her rosy lips and graceful figure, made her a beautiful
sight on the ne.
Cherry continued to mumble dissatisfied, "If it isn''t to look for Daddy, then is it to find my elder brother?"
Elder brother...A cold glint shed past Nora''s downcast almond-shaped eyes.
That year, she had actually given birth to a pair of twins a boy and a girl.
However, Nora''s father had disregarded her wishes and forcibly abandoned the two children.
She had climbed down from the delivery bed and fought with all her strength.
In spite of that, she had only managed to save Cherry.

After that, she even went into critical condition.
Had her aunt not rushed back in time and took her overseas to recuperate, she would probably have
ceased to exist in the world.
It took five years before she finally recovered.
Her obesity, which was caused by the mistaken use of hormones during her childhood, was also finally
cured.
On the surface, her return to the States this time was because the Grays had finally agreed to call off
the engagement, so she hade to handle the affairs.However, the most important thing was actually
to continue looking for her child.
Half an hourter, the ne came to aplete stop.
Nora let Cherry sit on the suitcase.
Then, she walked while pushing the suitcase forward.
As soon as she turned on the phone, she received a call.
On the other side of the line was a frivolous but lively voice.
"Anti, you have to be carefull!"
Nora asked casually, "Why?"
"Justin Hunt, the head of the number one family in the States, is currently collecting your personal
information from all around the world.He''s probably not going to give up this time until he finds you!"
The voice sounded a little like its owner was gloating.
Nora said, "...0h- "
Anti, you were overseas previously and weren''t in his territory, so you were able to avoid it perfectly.
But now that you''ve returned, you won''t be able to escape anymore ! As the most prestigious surgeon
around, can''t you just treat his grandmother''s illness?
"I heard that Justin Hunt is very generous, and is even a man so handsome that it''s hard toe by
one like him.Maybe the two of you can even develop a romance that''ll move one to songs and tears!"
Nora yawnedzily.
The number one family was a big family with a big business.
Interpersonal rtionships within it wereplicated.
Treating the illness of someone from there might even end up involving the struggle for power and
inheritance.
Why would she involve herself with the open and secret fights of such top-ss rich and powerful? She
was back in the States to look for her son.
She mustn’ t cause anyplications.
As she approached the exit, Nora suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the arrival hall in front.
She replied perfunctorily, "I''m not blessed enough to enjoy such beauty.’ After hanging up, she tossed
the phone into her pocket and cast her eyes downward coldly.She didn''t expect to see an old
acquaintance so soon.Aman stood at a prominent spot at the exit of the airport.He was wearing a suit
and looked quite bright and cheerful.
He looked a little more mature than how he had been five years ago he turned out to be her fiance,
Anthony Gray.
With a pick-up card in his hand, he stood there impatiently and grumbled, "When exactly is that
damned fattying out?"
Behind him, his butler said, "Mr.Gray, please be patient.The old sir has specially instructed you to
refrain from making things too ugly even if you are calling off the engagement"
Anthony frowned.
He looked a little irritated.
"Patience? Isn ‘t it more like disgust? She was so fat previously; and, she must be even fatter after she
gave birth.She probably wants to save the engagement even more strongly now, right? Why am I so
unlucky to be entangled with someone like that?!"
His words reached Nora''s ears, but she didn''t bat even an eyelid.
In the past five years, she had repeatedly brought up her desire to break off the engagement.
However, neither the Smiths nor the Grays had agreed.
Who exactly was entangling with whom? She couldn''t be bothered to pay attention to that man and
intended to leave immediately with Cherry.
After grumbling, Anthony turned and his eyes lit up! The beautiful woman, who was the first to walk out
of the airport, was gorgeous and unbelievably stunning.
It was as if the entire airport had lit up a few notches brighter the moment she appeared.
Seeing the woman getting closer and closer, Anthony straightened his back and neatened his luxury
suit.
Then, he smiled and asked confidently, "Hi beautiful, can I ask your name?"
He was the exact picture of a male peacock with its train spread open.
Nora paused and looked at him coolly.
