"No!" I thrashed wildly, trying to break free from the restraints. "You can't do this! This is a life! It's your child!"
"Si Jue..." Su Mei suddenly clutched her chest. "I feel dizzy..."
Huo Sijue immediately turned to support her. "Qing Qing, don't get agitated. The doctor said your heart can't handle too much stress."
Watching this scene, I suddenly understood. "So, you're going to kill our child for her?"
"This is not your child!" he shouted in fury. "Nurse! Give her a sedative!"
A nurse hurried in, holding a syringe.
"Don't! Please!" I cried out. "Si Jue, you will regret this! One day you will know the truth..."
The cold needle pierced my arm, and I felt my consciousness fading.
In my last moments of awareness, I heard him tell the doctor, "Get rid of it."
Then came Su Mei's triumphant laughter. "Si Jue, soon we will have our own child..."
Darkness consumed my consciousness. When I awoke again, the life within me was gone.
And in that moment, my heart died as well.
Huo Sijue, you took my child away from me. I swear that one day you will pay for this a hundredfold.

On the way back from the hospital, I slumped in the back seat like a rag doll.
My abdomen throbbed with pain, but compared to the agony of my heart, it was nothing.
My child, our child, had been ruthlessly taken from me by him.
"Dingling—" Huo Sijue's phone rang.
"What?" His voice suddenly rose. "Are you sure the DNA comparison results match completely?"
I weakly turned my head, catching a glimpse of his changing expression in the rearview mirror.
"Impossible! How could the blood sample from the accident five years ago..." His words trailed off as he stared at me intently.
The car came to a sudden stop.
I knew he had discovered something—after that accident, the blood sample the hospital preserved matched my DNA perfectly with who I am now.
"You..." He turned around, looking at me with a complex expression.
Just then, his phone rang again. The caller ID read: Qing Qing.
"Si Jue..." Su Mei's weak voice came through the speaker. "I'm in so much pain... I just vomited blood again..."
Huo Sijue's expression shifted from uncertainty to coldness in an instant.
"DNA can be faked," he said coldly, hanging up the phone and fixing his gaze on me. "You can never pretend to be my Qing Qing."
I forced a smile. It seemed that in his eyes, I wasn't even worthy of a DNA test.
"Drive," he ordered the driver.
The car started moving again, and I leaned against the window, watching the night outside.
That accident five years ago took away my memories. And now, how I wished I had never remembered anything at all.
Especially not the memories of him.
"After returning home, continue to keep her confined," Huo Sijue said to the butler. "But..." he paused, "prepare some food for her."
This was the first time he had actively suggested giving me food after imprisoning me.
It seemed that the DNA report had shaken him. But it was too late, Huo Sijue.
You killed our child, and you have forever lost my forgiveness.
Back in the basement of the villa, I curled up in a corner. This time, I finally couldn't hold back my tears and sobbed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, baby... Mommy couldn't protect you..."
I touched my empty belly, my tears soaking the floor.
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound from the ventilation duct above, and then a piece of paper fell through a gap.
I trembled as I picked it up, and in the dim light, I could make out the words:
"Miss, I am Old Li, the housekeeper. For the past five years that you have been missing, the master has been searching for you. The Interstellar Group is still waiting for your return."
The Interstellar Group?
A sharp pain suddenly shot through my head as fragmented memories surged in like a tide...
