For the fifth year, Kairo Harrison came back to the family, and I got pregnant again.

After receiving the prenatal checkup results, I went back to the old villa to celebrate, but the present Kairo gave me was a collection of intimate photos showing him cheating with a nurse, along with a recording.

I clicked it open, trembling, and Kairo's confused and passionate voice came out.

[Kairo, do you still love me?]

Without hesitation, he answered.

[You're the one I love the most, of course. You know that all these years, whenever I see the scar on her belly, I feel disgusted.]

At that moment, my heart felt completely dead.

Five years earlier, when I was seven months pregnant, Kairo had already fallen in love with a nurse at first sight while accompanying me to a prenatal checkup.

They were like dry fire and strong fire, and didn't care who was watching.

I asked for a divorce. When my heart felt dead inside, and I was about to leave, the nurse brought kidnappers into the villa.

To protect herself, she shoved me forward to take the knife.

I blocked the knife that time, and because of that, I lost the child and nearly became paralyzed.

Out of guilt, Kairo came back to the family.

Since then, the nurse had gone missing with no trace left behind.

Unexpectedly, at eight months into my pregnancy, they once again showed up on the trending searches.

Ten minutes earlier, he had been with me for a prenatal exam; ten minutes later, he was already in bed with the nurse.

Everyone was waiting for my response, believing I'd behave like before and make a life-and-death scene.

I simply said in a calm tone, "Push the trending topic even further."

This time, I wouldn't hold back my anger anymore.

I would take the baby in my womb and leave Kairo completely!

Cordelia Harrison froze in place, rushing to explain, "Azalea Gibson, you were wronged. I'll call that jerk now and make him come back!"

I understood she meant to quietly cover this situation.

I relaxed my face and answered simply, "No need."

At that moment, the voices nearby reached my ears.

"Isn't this the woman President Harrison cheated with five years ago? Back then, it was a big scene, and everyone could see they were serious. I heard President Harrison and Mrs. Harrison even got a divorce!"

"I heard that during that time, the nurse even led kidnappers to the Harrison family. In the end, Mrs. Harrison, who was seven months pregnant, was forced to take the knife, fell down the stairs, and almost ended up paralyzed! But President Harrison still showed concern for that nurse."

"At that time in the hospital, no matter how Mrs. Harrison called him, even when President Harrison's mother tried to reach him, he did not respond. He insisted on staying beside that nurse, and in the end, Mrs. Harrison's child was completely lost."

I paid no attention and went on dealing with the divorce papers.

They were right. At that time, I was forced forward to take the knife, yet Kairo still remained beside Madeline.

If the child had not been gone, he would not have felt regret or returned to the family.

Five years earlier, due to leftover feelings and family pressure, I chose to forgive Kairo.

Five years later, I would not make that same mistake again.

With this in mind, I pulled out my phone and sent a text to the lawyer.

[I need a divorce. Please assist me in preparing a divorce agreement.]

The lawyer felt very surprised.

Everyone knew I deeply loved Kairo, even accepting his unfaithfulness.

How could I ever choose divorce?

Yet at this time, I truly suggested it.

I forwarded the blood-covered pictures from five years earlier, the abortion document, and the calls that were ended again and again.

Together with the bed images Madeline once sent me of her with Kairo, plus today's viral intimate photos and recording, I sent them all to the lawyer.

The lawyer did not speak further, only reminding me that Kairo had to sign the divorce agreement.

After I said yes, I printed the divorce agreement and turned back.

Kairo was standing just behind me.

He looked at my hand and frowned.

"What are you holding there? A divorce agreement? You want to divorce me?"

I answered quietly, "Nothing, a divorce agreement passed to me by Miss Wagner."

"Her husband cheated five years before, went on his knees to apologize and returned home, then cheated again. Tell me, should Miss Wagner divorce?"

My eyes stayed on Kairo.

He immediately looked away from me.

Kairo still meant to say something, but his phone suddenly showed the trending photo.

When he saw the intimate image of him and Madeline, guilt appeared on Kairo's face.

He stared at my very swollen belly and spoke with guilt.

"What's appearing in the trending searches isn't true."

"I only ran into Madeline at the hospital. She hasn't been well over the years. We only spoke for a short while......"

I nodded lightly.

Seeing the pale lipstick mark on his collar, my thoughts went back to the past.

Ever since Kairo fell for Madeline at first sight, she had used these ways again and again.

Kairo and I argued over and over, and signed divorce papers time after time.

But each time, the family stopped it.

In the end, I truly felt worn out, and secretly signed the divorce papers and got ready to leave with my luggage.

Yet without warning, Madeline then led the kidnappers to the villa.

Her affair with Kairo had already caused a large commotion. Everyone knew Kairo ignored me, who was eight months pregnant, and was deeply involved with Madeline.

The Harrison family's enemies naturally aimed at her.

To keep herself safe, she shoved me, who was eight months pregnant, to take the knife.

The pointed knife went through my body, and she shook as she said, "Anyway, Kairo doesn't care about you. If you die, nobody will feel upset; he surely won't blame me."

Sadly, the kidnappers did not spare her either.

At that urgent moment, Kairo rushed into the villa and saved Madeline.

He didn't even glance at me lying in a pool of blood; he only cared about the small wound on Madeline's hand that didn't even bleed.

I cried out. "Kairo, help me! I still carry your child in my belly!"

But Kairo held Madeline and, without turning, said, "Azalea, Madeline is hurt. I know your health is strong; you can endure it. I'll take her to the hospital first, and you wait."

The pain was so strong that I was almost gone; I didn't even have the strength to shout for help.

I could only watch Kairo leave me.

Up to the moment Cordelia quickly took me to a hospital.

She called Kairo ten times straight, yet he did not pick up, insisting on remaining beside Madeline.

That evening, across the hot searches, there were only pictures of Kairo carrying Madeline, worried and uneasy.

Yet Madeline had no injuries at all.

When dawn grew a little light, he rushed over, but sadly, the baby in my own womb still could not be saved.

Because of damage to my spine, I myself nearly became paralyzed.

In tears, Kairo wept hard, dropped to his knees by my own bedside, and promised to change.

He really did it.

Either to go back to the family or to calm the anger of the Gibson and Harrison families, he sent Madeline overseas.

After that, she vanished with no sign.

Now, she showed up before me once more.

Once more, Kairo's phone ringtone dragged my thoughts back.

He shifted his body to cover it, but I still noticed the caller's name.

[Baby Madeline].

There was a heart bouncing on the phone.

Meanwhile, my note in Kairo's phone was just a plain full name.

Before, I had taken his phone and switched it to [Beloved Azalea].

In the next second, he grabbed it back with a displeased look. I asked why he would not even change the note, and he only replied coldly, "Childish."

Yet now, with no one telling him, he updated Madeline's note.

Simply put, he did not love enough.

With a sarcastic pull, I lifted the corners of my lips.

Quickly, Kairo ended the call, but more texts came from that side.

At the phone, he took a look, his face shifted, and he spoke quietly, "Azalea, something came up at work. I need to step out for a bit."

In my grip, the hand holding the divorce agreement clenched, and I spoke in a rough voice. "Have you made up your mind?"

For a second, Kairo froze, still holding his ground. "It's only company stuff, I'll come back soon."

Once he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with impatience.

At his figure, I watched and slowly spoke. "Kairo, if you go, our marriage will be fully finished."

Sadly, his footsteps were quick, and my voice was too soft.

Not a single word reached his ears.

I squeezed the divorce papers in my palm and walked after Kairo.

He soon reached a small hospital.

With just one call, Madeline rushed outside.

With teary eyes, she wrapped her arms around Kairo and spoke in a broken voice.

"Kairo, I thought you left me again."

Kairo looked at Madeline with pain in his eyes, her face tired and her eyes red, and he held her even tighter.

"I won't leave you again, even now, the person I care about is still you. Five years back, I placed the wedding ring that stands for the Harrison family wife on your finger; from that time, the only woman in my heart is you."

While speaking, Kairo held Madeline's hand tightly.

I knew right away this was the ring from our wedding.

The ring between Kairo and me showed the power of both families.

When our relationship was at its best, he once told me that for the rest of his life, I would be his only wife.

Yet just one day after he saw Madeline again, he quickly swapped the ring on my finger for a different one.

I had kept that ring on my hand for five years, so how could I fail to tell which one was true and which one was fake?

In those five years, because of this issue, I argued with Kairo again and again.

But I still was not able to take that ring back.

Up to this moment, the ring I wear was still not the real one.

Thinking about this, I curved my lips a little, held back the pain in my heart, and made my choice stronger to walk away.

They were kissing each other, fully lost in it.

At that moment, Madeline brought me up.

"If not for Azalea and that child who died, you would not have made me leave, but even if that person who kidnapped me back then did not end that child's life, she might still not have been able to give birth."

"If the baby inside her belly right now also dies, will you..."

Before she could finish speaking, I could not bear it anymore and ran forward.

Madeline noticed me right away, scared, and moved away from Kairo.

Kairo's body froze, and he quickly pulled Madeline behind him to shield her.

My hands tightened into fists, and a cold smile showed on my lips.

"Azalea... you... you hear me out..."

He did not know how to speak, and only kept protecting Madeline without thinking.

Madeline looked at me with watery eyes and said, "Miss Gibson, please don't blame Kairo. We truly love each other. Don't make things hard for Kairo because of me. I will go right away."

After hearing this, Kairo held Madeline's hand even tighter.

Pain hit my heart all at once.

Seeing her act so innocent, I could not stop myself from letting out a sarcastic laugh.

"Love each other?"

"You love each other, so you think it is right to trade my child's life for it?"

Before she could finish speaking, I moved ahead, grabbed Madeline's hair hard, and struck her face strongly!

"This slap is because you ruined someone else's family and still felt proud of it!"

"This slap is because you knew that person was cruel, yet pushed me out to take the knife, making me lose my child!"

"This slap is because even after five years, you still stayed the same, and still dared to speak badly about my child!"

Madeline's face quickly turned red and puffed up; she did not think I would hit her in front of Kairo.

Right away, she cried out loudly in anger.

Kairo felt pain in his heart and caught my wrist.

"Azalea! Are you done causing problems?!"
