"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..." Kylie got nervous.

She never asked Dinah who had done the abortion to her, but she had an answer in her mind.

​​

Dinah shook her head, then sighed, "I'm fine. I know we're different."

"Well, Kylie, I want to have a rest." Dinah raised a smile.

"Sure, sure." Kylie covered her with the blanket, then left the ward.

At the outside, Tory was leaning on the wall. Seeing Kylie walking out, he invited her to have a walk in the garden.

"Mr. Romeo, thank you so much for your help. Is there anything I can do for you?" Kylie asked with an elegant smile on her face.

She knew Tory was a shrewd businessman.

Tory looked at Kylie's belly all of a sudden. "How many months till now?"

Kylie protected her belly with her hands. "Were you eavesdropping on my talk with Dinah?"

Tory shook his hand with a smile when Kylie was alert. "No, I just noticed Dinah staring at your belly with envy."

Hearing that, Kylie relaxed a little, but she had no intention to tell him the truth. "I'm sorry. It's my personal affair."

Tory nodded, then became serious. "Miss Finch, you just said you wanted to return my favor, but I must make sure that you do that when you're safe."

Kylie fixed her eyes at Tory's. There was sincerity, determination, and vague affection in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Kylie said in a low voice, "I've been pregnant for nearly five months."

Knowing that, Tory was a little surprised because Kylie's body still looked slim and attractive.

Kylie flushed. "Well, I'm carrying twins."

"Oh, congratulations." Tory smiled, but he didn't seem happy.

"Please, just tell me, what do you need me to do for you?" Kylie asked.

" I will tell you the future," He said afterward. Kylie didn't say any words again.

The nurse changed Nate's dressing and told him not to move around, or it would cause calf deformity.

Nate pulled his lips with disdain. "She's just jealous of my beautiful legs."

The moment he lay down, something hurts his back.

He reached out his hand to search for it under the pillow, then found the grave certificate Fannie gave him.

"What? You really bought me a grave?" Nate was displeased and sat up again.

"Fannie? Fannie, come here right now!" Fannie walked out of the bathroom.

"What?"

"What is this?" Nate lifted the small book.

"A certificate?" Fannie said.

"I know, but what certificate is this?" Nate tore the cover off the small book, and it turned out to be a marriage certificate.

"You can read, can't you?" Fannie glanced at him, then walked away.

Nate tried to get off the bed, but his leg was hung up above the bed. "Fannie, get here now!"

Nate grabbed Fannie's hand and pulled her to sit at the bedside. "Is this a grave certificate?" Nate showed Fannie the inner page of the small book. "What is this?"

Fannie gave it a look and did her best not to laugh out loud. "You told me that marriage is the grave of love, so it is a grave certificate."

"Well, it's a grave for two," Fannie said and beamed.

"Don't you know how holy marriage is?" Nate forced Fannie to meet his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?"

He had prepared several ways to propose to Fannie, but it wasn't very meaningful now since Fannie already got the marriage license for them.

"What? Are you unhappy with it?" Fannie glared at him. "Of course not. I couldn't be happier now." Nate kissed her cheek.

***

In the study of the Finch family's house.

Ethan sat upright on the stool with a pair of bloodshot eyes, staring at the screen of the computer.

A doctor stood behind him and unwrapped the bandages around his body with great care, thinking it still not cured.

Many parts of the bandages were healed. The doctor was stunned while looking at it because he saw it was still soaked with blood a few days ago, yet today, most of the wounds were gone.

The doctor gave a glance at Ethan once in a while. He wanted to ask him how those wounds possibly gone.

Probably because the doctor moved slowly, Ethan lost patience.

"Be quick." His voice was firm.

"Mr. Parker, the skin on your back had recovered. If I remove the bandages too quickly, I'm afraid your skin will get infected again, which just healed," the doctor said in a trembling voice.

"You have five minutes." Ethan made the final order.

The doctor swallowed hard. He was the third doctor who had come here to treat Ethan. He heard the first one was cut off the tongue, and the second one was fed to the dog in the backyard just because they talked too much. He didn't dare say another word.

"Yes, sir." The doctor sped up what he was doing.

However, when the gauze bandages were pulled off from his body, the doctor couldn't help but remind Ethan to tolerate it as it stuck into his skin deeply. "Mr. Parker, it could be a little painful."

In fact, it was super painful, he thought.

"Stop it." Ethan opened his mouth at this moment, annoyed by the slow movement the doctor made.

The doctor had a long breath out. It must be too painful to be tolerated, he thought again.

To his surprise, after he stopped for just three seconds, Ethan turned to look at him and said in a deep voice, "You can go on."

The doctor was confused. Did he tell him to stop?

It turned out there was another man standing by the table with a mouse in hand.

"Lord Ethan." Elliot placed the laptop in front of Ethan.

Ethan raised his hand and pressed the playback button.

He had repeatedly been watching the video of the villa at Mountain Elmon ever since he left the hospital.

He told Elliot to stop the video because he found a particular car.

There were apparent marks of impact at the front of the car with a suspected blood mark on one side of its body.

"Investigate this car," Ethan ordered.
