When Melody pressed her lips against Everett's cheek, it was like a frozen frame.She did not move at
all.
"So this is how much you've been missing me?"
Melody asked after a long while, her lips leaving from Everett's face.
Everett stared at her and said in alow voice, "Otherwise?"
Melody's fingers curled up.
A few seconds later, she smiled, "So you're angry?"
"Everett, I haven't done anything yet.’ She had just told the truth, and he was like this.
If she really did something, what would he do to her? The corner of Melody's red lips lifted.
She sat upright, stared ahead and said in a quiet voice, "Everett, what's done can't be undone, and you
can never go back."
"Just like that baby you abandoned before it was born."
‘So, what do you have to compete with Brayden?’’
"You lost the game at the beginning”
‘‘No matter what I do, it will not affect this outcome’’ She thought.
The car stopped at the hotel and Melody got off.
Hardly had she stood still than the car drove past her.
He didn't like anyone interfering in his affairs, no matter how much he cared about that person.
Once someone stepped in, it was a violation of his bottom line.
Melody's eyes were filled with mockery.
His indifference, his ruthlessness, she had already experienced them two years ago.
But now, she seemed to have just known him.
Everett went back to the hotel, threw his suit Jacket on the sofa, sat aside and rested his head on the
sofa.
Then he shut his eyes.
As he closed his eyes, the night that had happened two years ago emerged before his eyes.
Olivia had been lying on the ground, covered in blood, her face pale as paper.
She had been staring at him with hope, longing, and pleading in her eyes.
She had said, "Everett, it's your baby.He's over four months old.He has already taken shape..."
"He moves in my womb.He's docile and obedient.He never bothers me.He's really good.I beg you,
please keep him..."
"You can punish me in whatever way you want.I just beg you to keep him.Even if you want me to die,
I'm OK with it, Everett..."
"Everett, I beg you.For the sake of our one-year marriage, please save our baby.I'm begging you..."
"Everett..."
The pleadings still seemed to be in his ears.
lt was like yesterday.
All of a sudden, her voice had changed.
It had become hollow and blank.
"Have you ever loved me? Even a little.’’
"No"
Suddenly, he was emotionally torn apart.
Everett sat up and covered his heart.
The pain that he had never felt before invaded his veins.
It felt so odd that he did not know what to do.
He just sat there, his head down, his hands clutching the shirt on his chest, his forehead knotting in a
frown, his body unmoved.
It was quiet at night.
Everything noisy fell into a deep sleep.
Everything seemed to have changed.
And seemed not to have changed...
Brayden went back to the hotel.
When the elevator went by Olivia's floor, he pressed down the button subconsciously.
But how come the elevator would stop if he pressed the button at this moment? He smiled, laughing at
his own stupidity.
He wanted to see her, but was worried that Everett would embarrass her if he went to see her too
often.
He didn't want to distract her at this point of time.
The elevator stopped on his floor and Brayden walked out, sending a message to Olivia.
"Go to bed early at night.Staying up late will hurt your body."
At this moment, Olivia had just arrived at the hospital.
Her phone was in her bag.
She trotted into the hospital but didn't hear the text tone.
Soon she arrived at the ward Elizabeth was in at the in-patient department.
