Chapter 57
“Sign here.” One of the police officers handed a document to Anastasia.
“It’s important tomunicate well between spouses and show care for each other,” the older police
officer advised stor. “Don’t wait until your wife ends up in the hospital with a bone fracture without
knowing what’s happening.”
He then turned to Anastasia. “You, too. If you have something, call your husband. Calling other men, of
course, would lead to a fight.”
Anastasia listened in silence, unable to help but contemte, “Call stor? Well, I most likely would
have ended up deadst night.”

Anastasia let out a sarcasticugh and signed the document.
stor stood by Anastasia’s side, and the two of them didn’tmunicate throughout the entire
process.
The police officers also noticed it, but they didn’t say anything
It was hard for an outsider to meddle in domestic affairs.
“Did you juste from the hospital? You don’t look well,” the older police officer asked:
Anastasia remained silent.
“Let your husband take you back,” the police officer instructed stor to escort Anastasin.
stor simply looked at Anastasia with indifference without saying anything
“No need…” Anastasia shook her head.
It appeared as though stor had been waiting for Anastasia’s “no need.” The moment she uttered
those words, stor departed without even ncing back.
“Hey? Ma’am” one of the officers eximed.
“Ms. Lawson?” Another officer, who was closer to Anastasia, quickly reached out to help her up.
stor hadn’t reached the door yet, and Anastasia couldn’t stand still any longer.
She lowered her head and wiped away the dark nosebleed, but suddenly her vision went ck, and
Anastasia fell to the ground.
The police officers rushed over and called 911 in a nervous state.
As for stor, he paused at the doorway, nced back, and then left without even looking back.
It was as if Anastasia was a total stranger with no connection to him whatsoever.
Numbly, Anastasiay on the ground, her gaze feeble as she watched stor’s retreating figure.
Anastasia observed everything. Felicia rushed nervously toward stor and embraced him, and
storforted Felicia. And finally, Anastasia saw them leave together in a car.
This tragic life. It seemed like Anastasia must havemitted heinous sins in her previous life.
Inside the hospital, when Anastasia regained consciousness, darkness had settled outside.
She didn’t know how long she had been unconscious.
This time, there was no one beside her.
Perhaps, Jason had also be thoroughly disappointed with her.
Taking a deep breath, Anastasia looked at the IV bag, remaining silent for a long time.
“You’re pregnant, and with your hormone levels unstable, it’s easy to faint at this stage. Given your
situation, you’re probably well aware of it. We rmend that you terminate this pregnancy. The
doctor also noted that something was amiss with Anastasia’s test results. He had reached our to
Anastasia’s attending physician. “We’ve also tried contacting your husband from our end, but… he’s
not answering the phone.”
Numbly, Anastasia nodded. “I’m sorry, we’re getting divorced. This matter… There’s no point in telling
him.”
The doctor was momentarily taken aback before letting out a sigh. “Your attending physician has
already been here. We’ve deliberated on a treatment strategy. There’s a highly effective early
intervention approach, but it necessitates terminating your pregnancy. Your health cannot withstand
any further dy.
The doctor observed Anastasia’s reaction and spoke again. “Ms. Lawson, you’re still young. After your
illness is treated, you’ll have plenty of chances to have children. Your life is more important.”
Considering Anastasia’s condition, the doctor believed there was still a chance.
After all, she was young, and her physical condition was far superior to that of elderly individuals in
their 60s or 70s.
Seeing Anastasia remain silent, the doctor sighed. “This is just my personal rmendation. Take
your time to think it over, Once you’ve made a decision, contact your attending physician.”
“Thank you…” Anastasia nodded weakly and leaned against the bedside, feeling drained.
She was torn between choosing her child or her own life.
Anastasia didn’t even notice that the IV drip had run out and turned red after some time had passed.
“Why is there so much blood?” A murse came in for rounds and rushed over in rm, quickly removing
the needle from Anastasia.
“I’m sorry… I didn’t see it. Anastasia’s voice was hoarse.
The nurse paused, looking at Anastasia. “Is your husband stor?”
Anastasia nced up at the nurse. It was someone she recognized, a distant rtive from stor’s
family who had gotten married on May 1st this year. Both Anastasia and stor had attended the
wedding.
“Anastasia, it really is you.” The nurse chuckled at Anastasia. “I saw stor at the obstetrics and
gynecology department earlier. So, you’re here.”
Anastasia’s fingers were starting to tingle.
stor appeared in the obstetrics and gynecology department, not for her, but for Felicia, it seemed.
“You see, speak of the devil, and he appears,” the nurse quipped, turning around to see stor
standing at the doorway of the
room.
He had changed his clothes and didn’t look as disheveled as he did at the police station.
He held a file folder in his hand, his demeanor extremely indifferent.
“stor, what acidence,” the nurse greeted stor and then left.
stor nodded and approached the bed, handing the file folder to Anastasia. “Take a look.”
Anastasia opened the file folder and nced inside. It contained stor’s will deration and a divorce
agreement. “Don’t be too greedy. This is already my bottom line,” stor said.
stor had not agreed to the terms and conditions after the divorce, where he would never marry
Felicia, and Felicia’s child would not inherit his estate
