“Slap!”
A crisp slap sounded.
An Ran retracted her hand and fell back onto her sickbed because of exhaustion. She gasped for air as she glared at the coquettish woman standing opposite her.
“What nonsense are you saying?! No way! My husband would never cheat on me, let alone make you pregnant!”
“Hmph, of course Sir wouldn’t tell you about it. After marrying you, he had to pretend to be in love with you.” Her domestic helper, Tao Ya, who had once been pure and kind, quit her disguise. She covered her face and started laughing viciously, “I’m pregnant now, but you have terminal stomach cancer and have long lost your value. Of course Sir knows who to choose.”
An Ran’s body stiffened as she felt that the face in front of her belonged to a stranger. With tears in her eyes, she accused her, “Tao Ya… What are you talking about? I treated you like a close friend! I helped you get rid of your scumbag boyfriend and gave you this job!”
Tao Ya’s eyes flashed with hatred, and she gave An Ran a slap on her pale face!
“How dare you say that?! I had a relationship with Sir before you did! If you didn’t steal him away from me, why would I end up with a scumbag boyfriend and work as a servant for your family?!”
“If you really want to make it up to me, why don’t you give him up to me? You act like my master all the time. Why do I have to serve you when we’re both his women?! Sir even said that I’m a hundred times better than you in bed!”
An Ran widened her eyes as if she had never expected she was the farmer who saved the viper despite her good intentions.
Her heart ached extremely, and her entire body trembled slightly, “This is impossible… Duan Qun would never… You must be lying to me…”
Tao Ya laughed mockingly, “How pathetic. Even now, you’re still lying to yourself.”
She took out a bottle of colorless liquid from her bag and shook it. “Do you know what this is? It’s gasoline! If Sir didn’t instruct me, how would I dare to come here and send you to hell?”
After saying that, Tao Ya raised her hand and poured all the liquid onto the ground.
An Ran’s pupils constricted, but she had no strength to get up. “What are you going to do?! Murder?! It’s against the law! Help! Help!”
As if God had heard her cry for help, the ward door opened at that moment.
An Ran was glad when she saw that familiar figure. Just as she was about to scream for help, she heard Duan Qun speak to Tao Ya coldly.
“Why did you take so long to set a fire? I’ve already sent all the people in the care home away and destroyed the surveillance cameras. Hurry up and do it. I have a lighter here.”
An Ran’s body turned cold as she muttered, “Duan Qun, what are you saying? How could you say the same thing as she did?”
Duan Qun’s gaze swept past her face that had withered because of her illness, and his eyes flashed with unconcealed disgust.
“Alright, now that your parents are gone, I can’t be bothered to pretend in front of you anymore. I’ll send you to reunite with them now.”
An Ran watched his lips open and close in disbelief as if she did not understand what he was saying.
Her parents… were dead too?
They had been killed by them!
An Ran was so outraged that she spat out a mouthful of blood. She struggled to get off the bed. “You two! You can’t do this to me…”
Her actions startled Tao Ya. The lighter in her hand fell to the ground with a thump.
Boom!
Once the spark contacted the gasoline, a blazing fire instantly shot up to the height of an adult!
Duan Qun and Tao Ya were scared that they would be implicated, so they locked the door and ran away as fast as they could!

As their voices were getting further away, An Ran’s heart was full of panic and fear. She crawled to the door with all four of her limbs. She could not care less about the heat, and she desperately tried to pull the door open.
The door was locked, and she could not pull it open.
“No… Don’t go…”
“Help… Someone, please help me…”
An Ran ran out of strength and fell to the ground. She feebly crawled to a corner where there was no fire for the time being.
The thick smoke made her consciousness weaker and weaker. Her throat stung as if it was about to burn. The fire had reached her calf, and the pain was heart-wrenching.
Was she about to die…?
No, she refused!
Bang!
Someone suddenly broke the ward door open!
A tall figure barged in. The next second, An Ran felt herself being carried, and a deep voice sounded close to her ear.
“Don’t be scared. I’m taking you with me.”
“I’m taking you with me…”
An Ran was stunned. This voice sounded so familiar to her. It was very similar to the voice of the “scoundrel” she had met on the eve of her wedding to Duan Qun.
In the middle of the night before her wedding, a man suddenly barged into her room.
In the pitch-black darkness, the man trapped her on the bed. His deep and passionate voice seemed to contain endless repressed deep affection.
“I can take you with me. Can you not marry Duan Qun?”
What did she say at that time?
An Ran thought it was just a prank or someone sent by Duan Qun to test her. She fiercely made the man leave and said many things about her deep love for Duan Qun.
After that night, the man had never appeared again. An Ran even suspected that it was an absurd dream.
But now, this familiar voice appeared in her ears again…
“Who… are you exactly?”
An Ran could not see his face clearly. “Do we… know— (each other)?”
Thud!
She did not get to finish her question.

A massive beam smashed down, and the man only had time to protect her tightly under his body.
An Ran heard the terrifying sound of ribs breaking. The man opened his mouth, and a large volume of blood dripped onto her neck.
“Ranran… I regret it…”
“Even if you love him… And even if you hate me… I shouldn’t have given you up to him…”
That pair of pitch-black eyes gradually became dull before her eyes. An Ran cried out in grief, “No!”
