Chapter 2
Perhaps due to my emotional turmoil, when Jasper returned and saw the quivering bundle on the bed, he immediately embraced me.
His tone expressed indescribable regret: “Vivienne, we’ll have another child! Trust me, I’ll do everything possible to heal you. Please don’t cry, okay?”
Jasper kissed my forehead, extremely affectionate. “When you cry, my heart breaks.”
I glared fiercely at the wall ahead, not daring to turn around, afraid my intense hatred would give me away.
“Would your heart really break?” I asked.
Jasper turned my shoulders to face him, and I saw the tear streaks on his face and his reddened eyes.
“How could it not? I love you and I loved our baby.”
“I was looking forward to our child’s arrival more than anyone. This tragedy hurts me most of all, Vivienne!”
This man was such a brilliant actor!
No wonder I’d never seen through his vile disguise all these years.
When I first discovered my pregnancy, he had been overjoyed, as if suddenly given a priceless treasure, so excited
he couldn’t sleep for nights.
Throughout my pregnancy, he was attentive to every detail. Even when I climbed stairs, he was extraordinarily vigilant in protecting me.
But who could have imagined that by then, he was already plotting for his illegitimate son?
Jasper, thank you for the gifts. Carson loves them.”
asper was asleep, but his phone kept buzzing.
After unlocking it with his fingerprint, my pupils constricted in shock.
[ froze for a long moment, allowing large teardrops to fall silently.
The baby clothes I’d prepared had been altered a month ago to fit that child’s size.
Even the villa I’d planned to give our baby was already occupied by Vanessa and her son.
The chat background showed the villa’s garden–the three of them sitting together on a swing, looking like a perfect family.

My heart ached with numbness.
Scrolling up further, I found that Jasper had paid a psychic to determine the “perfect cosmic alignment” for Carson’s family acceptance ceremony–the date was set for just three months from now.
I closed my eyes tightly, tasting bitterness in my mouth.
Those three months would be enough for me to disappear without a trace.
The next morning, Jasper entered carrying an elegant Giada shopping bag. His face brightened when he saw I was

“This dress was specially commissioned from a designer. Nobody will notice anything unusual about you.”
My lower body was slightly deformed, and even with crutches, my paralysis was evident.
Seeing my reddened eyes, Jasper immediately approached with concern.
shook my head. “It’s nothing. I was just remembering when we first met–you were this thoughtful back then too.”
When we first met, I had fallen down a mountain and cut my arm. He had carefully prepared a cool, long sleeved ormal dress so I could attend my coming of age ceremony.
It was his meticulous care that moved me, making me willing to travel thousands of miles to marry him in Boston.
He smiled indulgently, crouching down to clean up the post delivery discharge. “I’ll be even better to you in the uture. Don’t overthink things–I’ll never find you repulsive.”

[understood him–even if Vanessa and Carson moved in, he wouldn’t willingly let me leave.
I contacted a friend to find a hospital to treat my condition properly.
‘Remember, Jasper absolutely cannot find out.”
Just like that, two weeks passed.
One morning, I woke to find Jasper red–eyed, unable to look me in the face.
“Vivienne, I’ve booked the best doctors abroad. They’ll definitely restore feeling to your legs!”
Yesterday during rehabilitation testing, I had deliberately worsened my paralysis symptoms.
Sure enough, today the doctor’s report was extremely discouraging.

“Everything else is fine, but if you’re planning to have children in the near future, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Temporarily infertile?
I scoffed internally: this was obviously some bullshit excuse Jasper had fed to the doctor.
Even amputees can bear children, yet with my legs still touching the ground, I was declared infertile?
How interesting.
Since that was the case, I would graciously oblige him.
“Jasper, I know you’ve always wanted a child. Perhaps my legs won’t recover. Why don’t we adopt one?”
