One person can go without food for three to five days, but without water, they won’tst three days. Sophie died.


    When people found her body, she was emaciated and her head was in the photo washing pool. The water contained harmful substances that would cause great harm to the body if consumed.


    She must have been so thirsty that she drank the water and died from poisoning with all of her organs corroded.


    Cheyenne didn’t expect this oue when she left; Sam was present after all. She thought he would save her since they were both in it together, but she forgot that they werepetitors too.


    How could Sam possibly save Sophie’s life?


    Cheyenne overestimated their humanity; what good coulde from a family capable of selling organs andmitting such heinous acts?


    In a daze, Cheyenne remembered when she first met Sam. he was dressed in white and looked like a gentle fairy with his handsome features and charming demeanor – how ridiculous it all seemed now.


    For Gregory, Sophie’s death seemed as insignificant as losing a handkerchief – it meant nothing to him at all. He simply ordered someone to find a ce for cremation without even bothering with an appropriate tombstone.


    Sophie had followed him since sixteen years old; now twenty-six years old after ten long years together, with three years apart.


    Gracie betrayed by her apprentice came out on a rainy day and held an umbre just to see Sophie onest time.


    Cheyenne stood beside Gracie with her big belly while looking at the bright red color in the green forest, feeling indescribable emotions within herself.


    Gracie didn’t turn around but noticed Cheyenne standing there quietly. “Since you’re here, why hide?”


    She never expected Cheyenne woulde; seeing how big her belly had be made Gracie worry about whether or not everything would be okay for both mother and child.


    Not only Gracie had these thoughts – hidden among bushes wearing camouge clothes was another man who also worried about Cheyenne.


    Her belly had grown muchrger than before, although still thin-looking overall. Thankfully, she appeared healthy and good-spirited.


    “Cheyenne, I’m here,” Hisrge hands clenching onto his walkie-talkie. He wished he could rush forward right now.


    Iker noticed his restlessness quickly grabbing onto his shoulder and mouthing silently. “Don’t be impulsive or we’ll alert them.”


    How could he stay calm? That’s his wife carrying their unborn child inside of her!


    With great effort, Kelvin suppressed his emotions and looked at her and the woman talking seriously. Although they weren’t very close, there was wind and he could faintly hear some of their conversation. Cheyenne walked up to the dangerous woman, standing less than a meter away from her. She was pregnant and couldn’t dodge Gracie’s deadly attack.


    At the same time, veins bulged on Kelvin’s forehead. How could she be so heartless?


    Cheyenne carefully examined Gracie’s calm face before speaking up with parted red lips. “I’m the one who put her in there.”


    “I know,” replied Gracie.


    “Hmm?” How did she know? There wasn’t any surveince there.


    Gracie shot a sharp nce over before sighing heavily. “It was Sam; he told Gregory it was him.”


    “But I know Sam is too proud to do something as childish as this if he were really going to kill someone.”


    “So I guess he’s taking responsibility for someone else… and after thinking about it for a while, you’re my only guess,” said Gracie.


    Sam! Cheyenne widened her eyes; she never thought that Sam would help her.


    “Shh!” In an instant, Gracie pulled out a gun and pressed it against Cheyenne’s neck with lightning speed.


    The cold metal touched her skin like ice needles; tension filled the air while raindrops hit their umbres continuously.


    The wind howled fiercely as Cheyenne stared at those leaves falling from mid-air in circles; memories flooded back of their first wedding anniversary when she wanted to go mountain climbing during autumn when fragrant hills were covered in fiery maple leaves everywhere…


    Without even thinking about it, Kelvin refused because of work again – what day wasn’t busy for him all year round? On special days like that one though, all Cheyenne wanted was for him to spend just one day with her…N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Being stubborn, she decided to go to the mountaintop alone, carrying her bag, to wait for her. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances arose, and she got lost.


    In the middle of the night, it started to rain, and all the other tourists had left the mountain. She was alone, scared, and took refuge in a dark cave.


    As she was growing colder and about to fall asleep, suddenly, a hand picked her up and held her close. In her drowsiness, Cheyenne thought it was a ghost and screamed in fear. Little did she know, it was Kelvin who hade to find her.


    “Why are you screaming like that? Get up quickly! Let’s go home!”


    “Honey, you really came! Do you know how scared I was just now?” Cheyenne eximed.


    Kelvin frowned and roughly wiped away her tears. “Crying? How dare you cry! Didn’t I tell you I was busy with work today? We’ll talk about it another day!”


    “Do you not even look at the calendar when you leave the house? Are you so foolish? Are you even worthy of being my wife?”


    Cheyenne, already in a pitiful state, couldn’t help but feel even more aggrieved after being scolded.


    “But when are you not busy? And today is our wedding anniversary.”


    Later on, she forgot how he responded. Exhausted and hungry, she fell asleep while Kelvin insisted on carrying her down the mountain.


    When she came to her senses, Cheyenne slightly curled her lips. It was indeed today.


    Unknowingly, it had already been four years.


    Gracie’s cold words brought her back to reality again. “I can’t deny that you’re an excellent girl.”


    “If your stance wasn’t opposite of ours, I would be happy for Sam to fall in love with you.”


    When Gracie’s gaze fell on Cheyenne’s stomach, she paused for a moment. “But unfortunately, you are Kelvin’s wife!”


    “Cheyenne, you shouldn’t let both of my sons fall in love with you!”


    She said Sam liked herself?


    Obviously Cheyenne didn’t think so; She lifted up her head fearlessly against Gracie’s death threat and sneered, “Two sons? Do you really see Kelvin as your son?”


    If so, then why did she make him bear such heavy burdens at such a young age?


    And when Kelvin needed her most, she was taking care of her other son instead.


    She left behind only a blurry silhouette in his memory while giving Sam all the tender motherly love.


    Gracie sank into silence under Cheyenne’s questioning gaze with red eyes.


    “How is he even worthypared to Sam? He is just a lowly bastard!”


    He was born because she identally got pregnant; if it weren’t for Gracie’s poor health at that time, she would have gotten rid of this child.


    Kelvin’s existence was one of Gracie’s stains, andter Gregory slept with one of Gracie’s apprentices, making Gracie believe he betrayed her because she did it first.
