Hanson was so frightened that his face turned pale. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kelly wake up.

"Kelly, the doctor said you almost lost the baby," Hanson said with lingering fear.

Kelly smiled weakly. "Still pretty tenacious."

Looking down at her belly, Kelly felt a wave of loss.

She had insisted on having this child with Zev not just because of her plan but also to make up for the regret of not having him by her side during her previous pregnancy. But this time, was she going to miss out again?

"Kelly." Melody knocked on the door.

Kelly propped herself up on her arms and sat up. "Melody, why are you here?" Melody tried to maintain a composed look. She carried a thermal food container and kept her head down, avoiding Kelly's gaze,

She was afraid Kelly would see that she had been crying.

Kelly felt bad but still asked softly, "Melody, what happened?"

Melody shook her head without saying a word. Instead, she opened the insulated food jar and took out a warm, freshly baked oat and almond muffin. "Hannah sent this over. The ingredients are very nutritious. She said it's good for women trying to conceive. Since you're pregnant now, you should eat some to nourish yourself." Kelly nodded. "Thank you."

Melody sighed. "Hannah has her opinions about me, but when it comes to having a baby, she's more anxious than I am."

Kelly chuckled, picked up a muffin, and took a bite. But after chewing for a moment, she didn't swallow.

Frowning slightly, she took a tissue and spat the piece out.

Melody was surprised. "What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

Kelly shook her head. Was she overthinking it?

"Melody, did Hannah give these muffins to you? When did she start doing that?” Kelly asked.

"Since that year you went to the Oasisvale and I was pregnant. She said it would help me keep the baby. The muffin is made with oats, almonds, and a blend of nutrient-rich ingredients that are great for women, especially during pregnancy." Melody shrugged helplessly. Unfortunately, I lost the baby anyway. But after that, Hannah kept sending them daily. I got sick of them and threw most away. She sent them again today, so I thought I'd bring them

for you to try instead of wasting them."

Kelly looked down at the muffin and fell silent for a moment. "Melody, do you remember back in school when our teacher praised me for having a sharp sense of taste?"

Melody smiled wryly. "The teacher said you could be a drug tester."

Kelly also smiled. "Take these to the lab and have them tested. You couldn't keep your first baby, and afterward, you struggled to conceive again despite multiple checkups finding no issue, right? I suspect these contain ingredients that cause miscarriage or prevent pregnancy."

Melody's face turned pale as she looked at Kelly in shock. "That's impossible! No matter how much Hannah dislikes me, she wouldn't joke about a child's life."

"Maybe it wasn't Hannah." Kelly wanted to explain but stopped herself. "Just test it in secret. Don't let anyone know. We don't want to alert Hannah if it turns out to be nothing."

Melody gave Kelly a tense look, wanting to ask something, but remained silent. She picked up the container and left.

Kelly stared at the muffin in her hand for a long time.

Hannah might not want to harm Melody's child, but Patrick....

She didn't dare to think about how heartless that man must be to even harm his own grandchild.

Why did he refuse to let Melody give birth to Oscar's child?

Kelly couldn't figure it out.

That afternoon, after finishing her IV drip, it was Shawn who came to pick Kelly up from the hospital.

Outside the hospital, reporters were waiting. Someone had deliberately leaked a story linking Kelly and Shawn, praising them as a perfect match. Some even manipulated public opinion, claiming that with Zev dead, it was only natural for Kelly to marry his cousin-keeping wealth within the family.

Sitting in the car, Kelly scoffed as she read the reports. "These media outlets will print whatever the people.

behind them want."

They could easily sway public opinion and manipulate narratives.

It was terrifying.

"The child in your belly ... I will treat it as my own," Shawn assured Kelly, implying that Patrick wouldn't touch the baby for now.

Patrick still had some twisted sense of familial obligation toward Zev. Now that Zev was dead, he wouldn't touch Kelly's baby-after all, it was Zev's bloodline.

Patrick would make sure that everything he wanted was firmly in his grasp. He wouldn't allow Kelly a chance to leave anything for the next generation. "Thank you," Kelly replied with a fake smile.

Shawn drove Kelly home. As he looked at her, he hesitated. "I'm worried about you staying here alone. How about I stay the night?"

Kelly frowned, knowing he was overstepping.

She was aware of the listening devices in his car and knew he was saying this for certain people to hear, but their relationship didn't need to progress that far yet.

"Shawn, I don't want your reputation to suffer because of me. Right now, you need to establish yourself in Seaville. Only then can you provide me with enough security to make me feel safe about marrying you," Kelly said calmly, reminding him with her gaze.

"Go home and sleep."

Shawn smiled wryly.

Even if Zev was really dead, Kelly would never choose him.

"Rest early."

After dropping her off, he sat for a while before leaving.

Kelly leaned back on the couch, holding her phone tightly.

She was still waiting for news about Zev.

But there was nothing.

How much longer could she hold on like this?

That night, while Kelly was sipping water and looking out at the city lights from her

balcony, Melody arrived.

"Kelly ... can I stay with you for a while?" Melody was crying.

Kelly quickly pulled her inside. "Melody, what happened?"

Melody shook her head. "The test results came back. The muffin did contain

substances that cause miscarriage and prevent pregnancy."

Kelly took a deep breath.

Just as she suspected.

"I thought Hannah just didn't like me... but I never expected this..." Melodynoveldrama

clenched her fists in hatred."

"Don't alert them yet." Kelly was worried there was more to this story.

Why did Patrick refuse to have a grandchild?

"Did you tell Oscar about this?" Kelly asked urgently.

"Oscar ... suddenly asked for a divorce." Melody sobbed. "He won't even answer my calls."

Kelly immediately understood-Oscar was trying to protect Melody.

"Melody, listen to me. Oscar definitely has his reasons. It's not because he doesn't love you. ...e insists on a divorce, you can agree for now. Once everything blows over, he'll explain everything to you," Kelly whispered, trying to comfort her.

Melody stared at Kelly, sensing she knew more. "Are you hiding something from

the?"

Kelly didn't deny it. "Sometimes, not knowing is better."

Melody nodded. "Kelly... I'm pregnant again. I haven't told anyone."

Kelly's expression turned serious. "Don't let anyone find out."

Especially Patrick.
