Cassandra had been in a coma for seven whole days. When she finally woke up, she learned that her uncle had saved her.
Samuel’s family was just a tiny part of the Nolans, while Trevor Nolan was the head of the central family. She had seen him a few times as a child when she visited the main house with Samuel, but they had never really interacted. So, why did he suddenly appear to save her? Could it be that he also couldn’t stand what the Nolans had done?
Cassandra’s mind was a mess. Trevor had saved her and left, arranging for a caregiver to look after her. The caregiver told her that the baby was still there, but she couldn’t take any
more stress.
After everything that had happened, Cassandra was utterly heartbroken. She took out her phone, booked a plane ticket, and informed the doctor that she wanted to be discharged the next day.
She would go back tomorrow to pack her things. Her condition had stabilized, so the doctor didn’t stop her. Cassandra wouldn’t let this go so easily, but now was not the time for revenge.
The room Trevor had arranged for her was a VIP ward, the kind even Samuel couldn’t get. Cassandra sent Trevor a message thanking him and also asked if Samuel knew about her pregnancy. His response was cold. “No, he doesn’t.”
Cassandra let out a sigh of relief. She could take the child with her as long as he didn’t know.
In the evening, Cassandra felt a bit hungry and wanted food from the stall outside the hospital. She went downstairs in her hospital gown. When she got there, there was only one pack of food left. Coincidentally, Samuel also arrived with Francesc
In just a few days, Cassandra looked like someone who had suffered a miscarriage, while Francesca looked radiant and full of life.
“Cassandra, are you okay?” Samuel’s expression was a little uneasy.
Cassandra replied flatly, “Thanks to you two, I managed to survive.”
Samuel felt like she always ruined the mood. He was trying to show concern, but this woman just didn’t appreciate it. “Cassandra, you have doctors taking care of you, but Francesca only has me. You don’t have to be so sarcastic. If you hadn’t done something wrong in the first place, none of this would’ve happened. You’re spoiled because I indulged you too much.”
“Take this as a lesson. Hopefully, you won’t do something so self–destructive again.” Samuel rattled off his accusations without a second thought.
Cassandra hadn’t recovered her strength and didn’t want to argue with him. She turned to the seller and said, “I’ll take the food.”
Yet Francesca tugged at the corner of Samuel’s shirt, whining softly, “Sam, I want one too.”

Yet Francesca tugged at the corner of Samuel’s shirt, whining softly, “Sam, I want one too.”
Samuel simply threw down a hundred dollars and snatched the food like a robber. “Francesca is still weak. It’s just a snack, you can go without.”
Samuel took Francesca away and Cassandra gave a bitter laugh. “But I haven’t eaten all day.”
She had initially planned to be discharged tomorrow, but the thought of staying in the same hospital as them made her sick to her stomach. So, she left that very night.
When she got home, she took down the wedding photo. Samuel had said he didn’t like taking pictures, so they had never taken a photo together. It wasn’t even a wedding photo, it was just her alone in the picture. She then cleaned the closet, throwing all her clothes and everything that belonged to her into the trash can.
She finally placed the divorce agreement inside the safe, along with her pregnancy report and a lucky charm for the baby. Once she was gone, she would tell Samuel about the pregnancy. He had the right to know, but he could never find her again.
Cassandra took only her ID card and passport, not even a suitcase. She placed the house key on the dining table. Then, she walked out and closed the door behind her.
