Chapter 4
After she had someone drag me to death, she took the magnetic access card to the basement Taboratory from Bradyn’s pocket while he was sleeping. The police then pushed me inside and erased the surveillance records of my comings and goings.
So, it was seamless.
I have to say, as a lawyer, she possessed extremely strong professional qualities. She could be impartial and fair, and also be able to keep secrets.
Just in time, an employee came out of the autopsy room and reported to Darnell, “Based on the lividity, rigor mortis, and bladder urine volume, it can be inferred that the time of death of the deceased was approximately four days ago.”
After I finished speaking, I noticed a momentary stiffness in Bradyn’s back, and his tone became heavy as he said, “What did you say, four days?”
“Yes, Prof. Wright.”
The staff gave him a positive response.
“No,” he shook his head, suppressing those complex emotions, “It couldn’t be her. She’s so lucky,
she could be out there somewhere now.”
During the subsequent case discussion, Bradyn was in a distracted and absent–minded state, with Darnell frequently looking at him, surprised by his behavior.
Finally, as the discussion came to an end, Darnell couldn’t bear it any longer and called out to him,
“Bradyn, as a man, it’s not shameful to apologize and make amends with your own woman. As for
your grudge, I, as someone who has been through it, advise you to let it go as soon as possible.”
“You may not understand, only by standing on the edge of loss can one truly comprehend what is
most irreplaceable.”
“Ha,” Bradyn interrupted the usually respected elder for the first time, “Forgive me for being
frank, Prof. Curry. I no longer wish to hear her name from anyone’s mouth. Furthermore, I have
made up my mind that when she returns, I will break up with her.”
Darnell’s eyes flickered, his throat rolled, and then he said, “Even if she was already pregnant, even if she was willing to endure the pain of childbirth for you, are you still determined to break up?”
Bradyn didn’t speak anymore.
I was up in the sky, quietly listening to their conversation, and before I knew it, tears had already blurred my face.

Fingers reached toward the lower abdomen, where once nurtured a life, now completely vanished.
The heavens had always been fair to people.
Children were the product of their parent’s love, but they did not bear the heavy burden of reconciling emotions. As the bond was based on this connection, it would eventually break.
I recalled that day, during the several hundred meters of being dragged, not only my body but even the tip of my heart was in excruciating pain, as if it had been crushed like a torn rag.
A large amount of blood gushed out from under me, mixing with the blood flowing from my body.
“Damn, why is there so much blood under this bitch? Could it be that she was pregnant?”
Upon hearing this, Natalya’s face turned ugly. “Then there’s even more reason not to spare her life. A woman like her, how can she be qualified to bear Bradyn’s child?”
Her face wore an almost manic and grotesque smile, as she pronounced my death with a haughty
posture.
My gaze followed Bradyn as I watched him drive to the hospital after work. It was the fifth day after my death, and countless days since Bradyn had left me to be with Natalya.
Natalya saw him coming, with a smile on her face.
“Bradyn, you finally came. You have no idea. I just had a terrible nightmare. I dreamt about that person, he got out of prison and was shouting that he wanted to destroy me again… Bradyn, I’m so
scared.”
I have to say, Natalya knew very well how to act and what to say, she could instantly arouse his emotions and protectiveness.
I saw Bradyn reach out his long arms and embrace her, “Don’t worry. It’s all in the past, hmm?”
Bradyn and Natalya were both students sponsored by my father. When they were in their teens, they moved into my house and lived with me.
They had a very good relationship, so good that I almost couldn’t fit in.
At the same time, during my adolescence, I became aware of my unusual affection for Bradyn.
Watching him stand out among the crowd of forensic experts after his graduation, until he was hired by Rosemist’s prestigious Medical School as a professor.
Bradyn became more and more dazzling and also drifted further and further away from me.
Later, I climbed onto his bed and, using the identity of Miss Zhou’s daughter, successfully made him my boyfriend.
Perhaps out of helplessness, Bradyn allowed this abnormal relationship to continue.

He went crazy after he caught my dad forcing Natalya, until then.
He did his best to send my father to prison, and as a result, he developed a hatred toward me.
He kept me by his side, still appearing as boyfriend and girlfriend in the eyes of the outside world. Only I knew that I had been demoted to a lover.
“Your father’s sins were too heavy, so it’s up to you to continue to make amends for him.”
“He destroyed Natalya, so I will make him witness how his precious daughter fell.”
If, as far as I am concerned, neither death nor the loss of a child was enough to destroy me.
So now, Bradyn completely destroyed me, in every sense of the word.
stood in the air and could clearly see how Natalya’s lips touched his thin lips. I even saw the silver threads that were connected when they separated.
Bradyn’s eyes flickered, his pupils contracted, and his hand clenched into a fist by his side, but in the end, he still didn’t refuse her.
“Bradyn, if it weren’t for Annabella, we would have been together a long time ago, wouldn’t we? If it wasn’t for her, you wouldn’t have been forced to endure three years of entanglement, and I wouldn’t have had to go through all of that…”
