He lost his composure and anxiously grabbed the doctor’s coat.
The doctor was confused. “Child, what child?”
“She’s pregnant, already in the late stage,” Jaden replied in haste.
“What are you talking about? The patient isn’t pregnant. She didn’t hurt her bones, but she was frightened. She’ll be fine once she wakes up,” the doctor said.
Jaden’s mind buzzed, wondering what the doctor meant by she wasn’t pregnant.
“Wasn’t she pregnant?”
He stared blankly at Hazel.
Her pregnancy test results were casually left around, and Hazel had seen them too.
“Those were fake, to deceive Mr. Devin and cheer him up,” Hazel quickly explained.
For a moment, Jaden didn’t know whether he should be happy.
The pregnancy was fake, and his biggest worry was gone.
But he wasn’t happy because she had been attacked.
The assailant used an iron rod and intended to kill, and what if they use a knife next time?
The police had already caught the person, finding him to be a cleaner.
The attacker was a cleaner in the company who was engaged back home and had paid over two thousand dollars for wedding fees.
He worked hard outside so that he could earn enough and get married.
But when he went back, he found out that the woman had taken the money and eloped with someone else.
So, he saw Liana’s livestream and felt a connection, thinking they were both unlucky people.
He privately messaged Liana, who chatted with him gently, making him think she was the best woman and that Ella was the bad woman.
The last message he received from Liana was read, [If Ella didn’t exist,
The assailant said it was this message that made him decide to kill.
But this message couldn’t be used to convict Liana.
ouldn’t that be great? There would be no one to hinder us.]
The police also found Liana when she innocently said, “Is there a problem with what I said? I was just expressing a thought. Is that a crime? It wasn’t meant to incite anything, right?”
The police couldn’t respond because people with malicious intent would naturally take it as a suggestion, but normal people wouldn’t think that
way.
They couldn’t charge Liana and had to release her while the assailant had already been brought to justice.
Fortunately, Ella wasn’t seriously hurt, just some external injuries, with swollen arms and legs covered in bruises.
She couldn’t walk or lift heavy objects for a while.
Jaden stayed up all night, meticulously taking care of her, not letting Hazel intervene.
Jenny hurried over and was furious when she saw Jaden. “Do you know your fiancée is spouting nonsense outside, causing so much trouble for Ella? And you’re acting like nothing happened. Why? Why should Ella endure all this?”
“I don’t have a fiancée. I only have Ella,” Jaden said firmly.
Jenny asked, “Are you sure? Have you forgotten about Liana?”
“I know her, but we aren’t close anymore.”
“Fine, tell that to the netizens.”

Jenny turned on the camera while Jaden looked at it and spoke seriously, “I only love Ella. I want to be with Ella forever.”
Jaden was slightly stunned after saying this as it was a spontaneous statement that seemed to confirm his true feelings.
He pressed his lips together as if resigning himself to fate.
“I love Ella. Whether she loves me or not, I only love her. I want to protect her and be with her for the rest of my life.” As he repeated this, he looked relaxed.
Once the video was posted, Hank pounced on the opportunity like a lion smelling its prey, manipulating the situation behind the scenes.
He pushed it to the top of trending topics and bought attention like crazy.
He also saved the video so that he could play it repeatedly whenever Jaden was upset, showing his true feelings.
At first, netizens were furious, but Jaden’s public declaration left them confused, wondering how the genuine feelings developed when it was supposed to be about forceful love.
The people who were originally scolding Ella fell silent.
Jenny continued to release photos of Ella’s injuries and the attacker’s chat records, providing more compelling evidence.
What was a million dollars from Liana compared to Ella’s actions?
Ella had set up a charity foundation, visited orphanages to see intellectually disabled children, and invested in the medical industry.
Ella actively introduced Jaden to new experiences, ignoring others‘ strange looks, and taking him to parks, banquets, and amusement parks.
[If 26 is old for a woman, what about 30–year–olds who are unmarried? Liana broadcasted Ella without her consent, violating her image rights. Our company will pursue legal action.]
Jenny called out Liana online and Liana lost all her advantages in an instant.
Moreover, Jenny dropped another bombshell that exposed many new accounts used for paid promotions.
It was obvious who pay for these accounts.
This wasn’t the entertainment industry and it wasn’t necessary to do something like this to manipulate fans‘ emotions, one trick after another.”
Liana panicked and quickly appeared to apologize, saying that she

pressed that she didn’t know how things got so out of hand.
“I didn’t hire someone to harm anyone. I didn’t intentionally market anything. If I did, may god punish me. I am so sorry for Ms. Willow’s injuries. Ultimately, it’s because of me. I will personally apologize until she forgives me. Besides, I never met Jaden in person, and Ms. Willow never even gave me a fair chance to compete.”
Liana’s innocent face was highly persuasive.
In the end, she managed to retain a large number of fans who chose to stand by her.
Jenny was so angry she gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear apart Liana’s hypocritical face through the screen.
Liana was more cunning than Grace Willow, skillfully playing the innocent victim.
Just as Jenny was furious and thinking of a countermeasure, Ella woke up.
She had not slept well for a few days, so she slept especially well this time.
Jenny asked, “Ella, you’re awake. How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine. Please leave. I want to talk to Jaden alone,” Ella replied.
Jenny had no choice but to leave and the room was left with just the
of them.
Ella was unaware of the video, only looking seriously at Jaden. “Liana is back. Do you remember her?”
Jaden lowered his head.
Ella felt a pang of bitterness because he remembered Liana even in his state. It seemed there were real feelings involved between Jaden and Liana.
“She still loves you and wants to be with you. Although I don’t like her, I can’t deny
of mind. Now, it’s up to you to choose. If you choose her, we’ll get a divorce.”

feelings for you. Leaving you with her would give me peace
Before Ella could finish her sentence, Jaden suddenly kissed her and stopped her from continuing.
She was slightly stunned, wondering why he kissed her.
The kiss was surprisingly gentle making her feel like floating on a cloud, her mind hazy.
He stroked her head and enunciated each word clearly. “I love Ella. I want to be with Ella.”
Even when he thought she was carrying someone else’s child, he tolerated it.
Now, there was no reason to give up because he had fallen for her, deeply.
Even though she had been with another man for years and even though she married him just to spite someone, he didn’t care.
Ella had protected him, never giving up, and hence, he didn’t want to give up on her either.
“What?” Ella began while looking at him in shock, wondering if he understood what love meant.
He repeated, “I love Ella. I want to be with Ella.”
“Do you know what love is?” Ella asked.
“Yes, it means wanting to have meals with you for the rest of my life.”
