The day Ulysses left, I was left with the child in a dark, small room. Thankfully, they showed some mercy by taking into consideration the child's life, and we were treated slightly better. The child calmed down significantly in my presence, but due to being born prematurely, she was very weak. I did everything I could to feed her more breast milk. However, because of my prolonged malnutrition, my milk wasn't sufficient.

In desperation, I pleaded with Ulysses to negotiate. "I agree to have another child with Carson, but can you please bring a doctor to give the child a proper check-up? She was born prematurely, and at this rate, she won't survive."

He watched me breastfeed, and for a moment, he seemed to remember the time we were together. His eyes darkened slightly. He took the child from my arms, put her aside, and stared intently at my still dripping breasts. Feeling uncomfortable, I tried to move away but irritated him.

"What are you dodging for? Haven't I seen every part of your body? They all say that women who've had children are more comfortable. Let me try. Don't forget, you're still my fiancée."

"Beatrice hasn't been feeling well lately, and I haven't had sex for a while."

"Show me the same wildness you showed Carson and serve your fiancé well."

In the past, he had also been inconsiderate when he wanted me. But for some reason, after all this time, I wasn't accustomed to being intimate with him anymore. Carson's image flashed through my mind, and instinctively, I pushed him away.

Caught by surprise, he fell to the ground, his face instantly darkening with anger and madness. He grabbed me roughly and pulled me towards him again. The child, frightened, started crying loudly. He forced his hand over my mouth, attempting to compel me. I felt a mix of anger and panic but couldn't free myself from his grasp.

At that moment, the iron door swung open. Beatrice stormed in with a jealous look, separating Ulysses and me, and attacking me with a fury of punches and kicks. "You bitch, even in this state, you dare to seduce men! I'll beat you to death, so you never dare to go after Ulysses again!"

Her sharp nails dug into my flesh, and the slaps made my skin break quickly. But that wasn't enough for her—she raised the child beside me, intending to throw her to the ground. "This little bastard won't live either, she's just as worthless as you."

Terrified, I tried to grab the child by holding Beatrice's arm. Just as the child was about to hit the ground, Ulysses intervened. "Beatrice, it's all my fault. Don't be upset; this child is still useful. What if Carson can't have any more children? She's his only heir."

Beatrice immediately became emotional and started pulling Ulysses, shouting, "You heartless man, you promised you'd never touch her again, so why are you still entangled with her? Have you been lying to me this whole time? Did you use me just for my money to save DorneGroup?"

An impatient look flickered in Ulysses' eyes, but he ultimately held back. Although I was shocked, a secret sense of delight rose within me. Only their conflict could give me a chance to escape. I looked down and soothed the child in my arms, ignoring the two quarreling nearby.

After a while, Beatrice calmed down but stubbornly took the child from my arms. "Since you're so restless, I'll send you to that useless man's bed today to continue breeding piglets. As a punishment, you won't see the child for several days."

Beatrice held the child tightly, causing her to cry immediately. My heart ached for the child, but all I could do was watch her being taken away.
