    Chapter 1: The Baby


    “Ms. Forbes, the examination results show that you have a very thin uterine wall, which could


    possibly lead to miscarriage. You should be more careful in your diet and exercise.”


    As she spoke, the doctor continued writing on the white paper, listing the medication Imogen


    needed. After some time, she handed in the paper. “We have a pharmacy outside. Please take


    these medicines regrly.”


    Imogen took a deep breath, grabbed the paper, and slowly stood up. “I will. Thank you, doctor.”


    “You must be careful, okay?”


    The doctor’s eyes shed with worry. Pregnant women with thin uterine walls were more prone to


    having a miscarriage. The worse was that most women had very low chances of conceiving again


    after they lost the first child.


    “Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll take care of myself. Thanks again,” Imogen replied and smiled. After three


    years of trying and waiting, the heavens finally heard Imogen‘ s prayers. No one was more eager for


    the arrival of the baby than her, and she would make sure to protect it with all her might.


    After buying the medicine, she left the hospital and went to her car.


    “Ma am Imogen, there are still twenty minutes before your husband‘ s arrival. Do you want to


    somewhere else first before going to the airport?” The driver asked, looking at her through the


    go rearview mirror.


    “Let’s go to the airport.”


    Imogen couldn’t wipe the smile off her face. Just the thought of seeing her husband again after a


    while made her feel ecstatic.


    Troy Marshall, her husband, had been on a business trip for almost a month, and she dearly missed


    him.

    On the road, Imogen couldn’t stop staring at the ultrasound results. She read the details over and


    over again as if she couldn’t believe it. Then, she gently ced her hand above her t stomach.


    She couldn’t believe she would meet their baby eight months from now.


    Now, she couldn’t wait to tell Troy the good news!


    Shortly, they arrived at the huge airport. The driver parked the car and turned to her. “Mrs. Marshall,


    do you want me to call Mr. Marshall?”


    Imogen nced at her wristwatch and realized that Troy would have already got off the ne.


    “I’ll do it,” she replied before dialing her husband’s number.


    However, her calls kept being directed to customer service. Troy wasn’t picking up her calls.


    “Oh, his flight must be dyed. Let’s wait here.”


    An hour passed, and Imogen still couldn’t see a sign of Troy yet. She took out her phone again and


    called him.


    “Let’s wait a little bit longer,” Imogen murmured when her calls were still not answered. After all,


    most flights were always either canceled or dyed. Some flights could even be dyed for more


    than two hours!


    Two hourster, Imogen called her husband again. Imogen heard a beep, making her smile.

    “Troy! Where are you? Was your flight dyed?” she asked.


    There was silence on the other line, making Imogen‘ s brows furrow. “Troy?”


    “Sorry. Troy went to the bathroom. I’ll let him call you once hees back,” a monotonous feminine


    voice muttered.


    Imogen was confused. “Huh? What-”


    Before she could finish her sentence, the call had already ended. Imogen looked at her phone


    screen, confused and worried.


    As far as she knew, Troy didn’t bring a female secretary with him for this business trip.


    Ten minutes had passed, but Troy never called her back. Imogen waited a few more minutes until


    she couldn’t hold it any longer.


    Troy’s phone kept ringing, Imogen anxiously waited for him to pick up the call. Just when she


    thought no one would answer, a familiar deep and husky voice entered her ears.


    “Imogen.”


    “Troy! Where are you? The driver and I are waiting for you here in the parking lot of Terminal D. Just


    come here and you’ll spot us easily.”


    “Imogen,” Troy paused for a long time. “I’m sorry. I forgot to turn on my phone after arriving here. I


    left the airport already.”


    Imogen s smile instantly faded.


    “What? H–How?” Imogen asked. “I’ll wait for you at home, then? I have important news to tell you.”


    A deep sigh escaped from Troy‘ s lips. “Okay. I also have something to tell you.”


    “Great!” Imogen beamed. “I’ll ask our servants to prepare your favorite food.” “Just go home. I have


    an urgent matter to attend to, so I’ll probably bete.”


    “Oh,” Imogen couldn’t hide the disappointment in her voice. “Okay. I’ll wait for you at home.”


    She was about to end the call when the same feminine voice sounded on the other line. “Sorry.


    Troy. I forgot to tell you that Imogen called you earlier.”


    Imogen’s heart sank. She was about to ask Troy who it was, but he had already ended the call.


    Frowning, she looked at her phone screen and remained silent for a while. Then, she turned to her


    driver and murmured, “Let’s go home.”


    The driver instantly understood her mood. He didn’t ask about Troy and just drove away the airport.

    When she arrived home, Imogen went to the dining table. She didn’t have much appetite but still ate


    some for her baby.


    Then, she went to the living room to wait for her husband. She mindlessly turned the TV on and


    hugged a random pillow. She frequently nced at the time, not interested in the movie ying


    on the TV.


    Imogen was already sleepy when the clock struck ten o’clock. Her eyes slowly closed, making her


    sleep on the sofa.


    After a few moments, she felt as if someone was carrying her. Half awake, she moved her face


    and smelled a familiar scent mixed with a hint of alcohol.
