That night, the doctor said that my stomach
was injured badly. It would be hard for me to
get pregnant again.
My first thought was that I was relieved.
Then he won’t suffer with me.
The innocent child deserved a good life.
When everyone left, I looked at the news.
People were saying that I set the fire.
To increase the truth, Ryan posted our
marriage certificate.
The online comments attacked me.
I was blocked and couldn’t say anything.
Over the next few days, I felt the hospital

They would have kicked me out if not for their
job.
I received letters from different places, that
all threatened me.
I never argued.
I sent Ryan a message on the day the doctor
said I could leave.
“Let’s sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”
He immediately called me, “How come you’re
hiding? I told you, and gave you a chance to
take the news down. Don’t blame me!”
“If Ashley didn’t ask me to, I would have
called the police and arrested you! We will
く
get a divorce, don’t come crying to me!”
Then he hung up.
I took a video of Ashley setting the fire and
sent it.
The next morning, I went to the courthouse to
sign the papers.
But Ashley was there.
“I already said you wouldn’t win. Your
husband is my puppy.”
Looking at my stomach, she said, “Too bad
the baby is gone. In the first timeline, he was
killed by his father, and then he was killed by
his father again. It’s a pity…”

She remembers?
Before I knew it, I slapped her.
I was weak, but she fell.
“Ashley!”
Ryan came and pushed me.
I tripped and fell.
Ryan hugged Ashley, then looked at my
stomach.
“Where is the baby?!”

Chapter 2
I struggled to my feet, my movements stiff
from the injuries.
I covered my stomach with my purse, a
sarcastic edge in my eyes.
“The kid? You think the rescue team’s golden
boy cares about a bastard orphan?”
“You’re all over the news as Mr. Perfect,
aren’t you? So touching. But your concern is
a little late; the baby’s gone, since the fire.’

“Oh, and congrats on getting the girl. Just
wondering how long your happy ending will
last. Better enjoy it, you’ll only see your wife
in prison.”

Ryan’s brow furrowed, his face twisting with
anger.
“Did you really have to be such a bitch about
it, Sarah? I’m a captain, saving people is my
job. I didn’t press charges for you starting the
fire and I saved Ashley! Why are you blaming
me now?”
“How dare you talk to me like that! You have
no right!”
“What’s going on with the baby? Are you
wearing a girdle or something?”
“I’m telling you, I’m the father, you can’t change that! If you try to hide this and have
the baby without me, I will fight for custody!”
didn’t realize he thought so low of me after
This marriage was a joke!
He helped Ashley up, ready to check my
stomach.
Ashley winced, and he stopped.
“Are you okay? Where does it hurt? I should
take you to the ER. Your body is recovering.”
“I’m fine, don’t be mad at Sarah. It’s my fault,
I shouldn’t have gone over there and made
her mad. I knew she didn’t like me. It’s my
fault.”
Tears streamed down her face.
Ryan looked at her with concern.
