Boyfriend has a low sperm count, and his assistant is naturally fertile, with a voluptuous figure. To have a child, my boyfriend seeks her company every night. When the assistant becomes pregnant, Declan says coolly, “I’ll send her abroad.” On the wedding day, Nora suffers from morning sickness. He leaves me to face all the guests alone while he tends to Nora’s mess. I hadn’t even taken off my wedding dress when I finally received his call, after I’d cried my eyes dry: “The wedding is postponed. We’ll wait until Nora’s pregnancy stabilizes; she can’t handle stress right now.” Hearing this, I kept sobbing. He grew more impatient: “Cora, stop making trouble. Do you want the Declan Family to be without an heir?” “When the child is born, I’ll have him call you mom. In the meantime, take good care of Nora and ensure nothing goes wrong!” I clutched the pregnancy test in my hand, feeling disheartened, and hung up the phone. He doesn’t know I’m a rabbit spirit. If I wanted to, I could have a litter of eight treasures in one go. Now, I’m returning to where I belong. … Wiping away my tears, I forced a natural smile and straightened my back to announce on stage: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Declan and I have called off the wedding. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.” The crowd below began to murmur among themselves. Soon, Declan called again: “Cora, I hope you understand. I’m the heir of the Declan Family, and I must have a child.” “Nora’s pregnancy wasn’t easy. Once she gives birth, I’ll send her away. It won’t affect your status as the lady of the house.” “Don’t be stubborn. I’ve forgiven your earlier outburst. Go explain things to the guests, and I’ll come to pick you up. I can’t leave right now…” I interrupted him, “I’m pregnant.” Declan suddenly got angry: “Cora, we’ve been together for three years, and you never got pregnant. How is it that now, when Nora’s pregnant, you are too?” “Using this trick to seek attention, you’re so petty. How can you be the Declan Family’s wife like this?” I felt like I was falling into an abyss, suffocating. Trying to hide the tremble in my voice, I spoke with difficulty: “Declan, I’m not marrying you.” There was silence on the other end for a few minutes, then his cold voice came through: “Fine, fine then. Marry or not, I wonder where a lone orphan like you can go.” Beep beep beep… The line went dead, ruthlessly cut off. Ignoring the surprised looks from the banquet guests, I tossed away the bouquet and walked quickly to the dressing room. Just as I was about to change out of this heartbreaking wedding dress, Declan’s Mother suddenly burst in and slapped me hard: “You little tramp, how dare you cancel the wedding in front of everyone! You’ve disgraced the Declan Family!” “If Mr. Declan Sr. hadn’t insisted on Declan marrying you, how could an orphan with no power or influence possibly climb up to the Declan Family?” Her anger grew as she pinched me several times: “Hmph, it’s good the wedding’s canceled. At least a jinx like you won’t enter the Declan Family’s door.” By the time she vented her anger, it was already dark, and the banquet hall was about to close. I didn’t have time to change clothes, so I stood on the bustling street in a luxurious yet dust-covered wedding dress. The curious and sympathetic looks from passersby made me shrink back. Suddenly, a large coat was gently draped over my shoulders, a faint cool fragrance lingering at my nose. “Little bunny, long time no see. How did you end up like this?” A warm voice sounded in my ear. I turned around and saw the figure I’d been waiting for three years to see, my nose tingling: “Asher, I want to go home.” He gently wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, his voice filled with unfathomable softness: “Okay, I’ll take you home.” I arranged to meet Asher three days later. Having been in the human world for three years, I had some things to deal with, like saying goodbye to my savior, Mr. Declan Sr. Just after taking off my wedding dress, Nora sent a photo. She was wearing a pearl necklace. The white pearls made her look as elegant and graceful as a swan. “The pearl necklace sister gave to Declan looks great. He made it into a necklace for me.” The bright color stung my eyes; these pearls were condensed from my inner energy. To treat Declan’s low sperm count, I trained day and night, fainting from exhaustion several times, nearly going mad. It took three years to condense these few pearls. As long as he carried my inner energy with him, he could regain normal fertility. I still remember Declan’s surprise when he received this gift. “A gift from Cora, I’ll definitely treasure it.” He carefully placed the pearls close to his heart: “Keeping them here is like having you by my side.” His gentle smile seemed like yesterday, yet today he trampled on my feelings. I stared at the screen, suddenly unable to breathe. Since I’ve decided to leave, I must take back my inner energy. I immediately went to the Declan Family villa. As soon as I opened the door, I felt like I was in an ice cave. “Ouch, Declan, you’re hurting me…” A whimper came from inside, the voice rising and falling as if she couldn’t catch her breath. “Little seductress, who told you to be so alluring? How about giving me another child?” A low, deep laugh from Declan. “No… If sister comes back and sees, she’ll be mad…” Nora’s intermittent pleading. Declan coldly snorted, “So what if she sees?” “We’ve been together for three years, and her stomach hasn’t shown any signs. Should I let the Declan Family have no heir for her?” “If she hadn’t been so cunning and sucked up to Mr. Declan Sr., insisting I marry her, I would’ve broken up with her long ago.” “A woman full of schemes. Once her tricks fail, she’ll come crawling back to me.” I stood silently by the door, tears falling silently. It turns out his love was fake. He was marrying me only because of Mr. Declan Sr.’s orders. I clenched my palm tightly, listening to their breath grow heavier, growing more intense, not knowing how long it had been… The door opened. Declan’s clothes were disheveled. Seeing my tear-streaked face, he was first stunned, then a mocking smile appeared: “Regretting it? I thought you could stay tough until New Year.” My fingertips unconsciously clenched: “Declan, where’s the pearl I gave you? Give it back to me.” He frowned, looking indifferent: “It’s just a string of pearls. Is it that important?” My grievance exploded: “Yes, it’s important! It represents my hard work, and you ruined it. I want to take it back!” Just then, Nora suddenly pushed open the door: “Sister, don’t make things difficult for Declan. It was me who insisted on having your pearls. Declan had no choice but to give them to me.” Her eyes were red, the pearl necklace on her neck shining brightly, making me look like a huge joke. Seeing Nora’s tears, Declan lost control. He suddenly grabbed my shoulders, his fingers almost digging into my flesh. “Cora, are you done yet? It’s just a lousy necklace. So what if I gave it to her? You’ve been in the Declan Family for three years, haven’t you seen enough good things? Why make a fuss over a necklace?” With that, he walked into the bedroom, grabbed a handful of cash from a drawer, and threw it in my face. “Is this enough? If not, have the butler swipe the card. Now get out!” Nora hurriedly clung to Declan’s arm: “Declan, don’t fight over me.” “If the necklace is that important to sister, I’ll give it back.” She took off the necklace and handed it to me, but just as I reached out to take it. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. “Ah! My child… My stomach hurts!” “I didn’t push her!” Surprised by Nora’s acting, I quickly explained. Declan ignored me and nervously held Nora in his arms, carefully asking her: “Nora, how do you feel? I’ll take you to the hospital.” “It’s nothing, I just lost my balance…” With tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, Nora looked at me pitifully: “Sister, I didn’t mean to take your place as Declan’s wife, but Declan treats me so well, I can’t bear to see him without an heir.” With that, she struggled to get up and kowtowed to me, continuously muttering: “I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I really didn’t want to ruin your relationship.” Declan’s forehead veins bulged, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at me: “Are you satisfied now?” I looked indifferent; it was all her own performance. What did it have to do with me? Not wanting to argue further, I turned to leave. Who knew Declan would be provoked by my action? He suddenly shoved me. I fell heavily to the ground, my belongings scattering everywhere. Sharp pain spread through my body. Without the inner energy, my body was as weak as a human’s, and I couldn’t stand up from the pain. “What are you whining about? Get up.” Declan made no move to help, standing over me and scolding. Nora suddenly exclaimed, picking up the pregnancy test that had fallen: “Sister, when did you get depression?” Then she covered her face and sobbed: “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant, sister wouldn’t have depression. I’ll leave now.” She cried as if she were about to faint, pretending to leave. Declan felt sorry for her, looking at me with loathing, as if I were a terrible person: “Cora, are you done yet?” “It’s just depression, it’s everywhere now. You think having depression will make me forgive you?” “Stop making a fuss!” “Big sister, when did you become depressed?” After saying this, she covered her face and sobbed, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant, you wouldn’t have become depressed. I’ll leave now.” She cried so hard she nearly passed out, pretending to leave. Declan was overwhelmed with emotion and looked at me with disgust, as if I were unforgivable: “Cora, are you done yet?” “It’s just depression, isn’t it? Everyone’s dealing with it these days. Do you think having depression will make me forgive you?” “Even being unreasonable has its limits!” He snatched the pregnancy test from Nora’s hand and tore it up without even looking at it. He judged me so harshly, and I looked at Declan in disappointment, as if I never knew him. Afraid of revealing my tear-streaked face, I turned to leave. Declan suddenly grabbed me, a flash of panic in his eyes, but it quickly turned cold again: “Ha, trying to get my attention again?” “Do you think I’ll fall for your trick?” “If you want to leave, then go. Just don’t come back. Seeing you cry is annoying.” The pearl necklace fell to the ground, now covered in dust. In an unnoticed corner, these pearls, along with my once sincere heart, were trampled into the mud. I broke free from his grip and left without looking back. Back home, I lay on the bed, allowing my energy to slowly dissipate, and this body gradually stopped breathing. Declan didn’t want this child, but the debt to the Declan Family is repaid, and my task is complete… I transformed into my true form, feeling a bit lost, having lived here for over three years. Suddenly, my phone rang, and Asher’s cool voice came through: “Are you ready? I’m coming to get you.” At Asher’s Family, I was stunned by the sight before me. Everywhere there were exotic plants and tall trees, like a fairytale realm. “Do you like it?” Asher held my hand, his palm dry and warm. “This will be your home from now on. Feel free to be yourself.” “Okay,” I replied softly. After I left, without my interference, Declan and Nora became even more reckless. They indulged themselves in the villa, oblivious to the world. Until the butler urgently knocked on the door. Annoyed by the interruption, Declan was furious. He grabbed a glass from the bedside and smashed it against the door: “Get lost!” “Mr. Declan, it’s really urgent!” The butler was anxious outside, knocking more urgently. Unable to ignore it, Declan grabbed a towel and opened the door. “What is it?” Seeing Declan’s barely contained anger, the butler shrank back, his voice trembling: “Miss Chen… Miss Chen is dead…” Declan froze at the words, his body involuntarily leaning forward as if afraid he’d misheard. “Say that again…” The butler’s voice grew quieter: “The cleaning staff, who regularly cleans, smelled something strange in the villa, thinking a rat had died inside…” “She didn’t pay attention until she cleaned the master bedroom and saw Miss Chen lying motionless on the bed, her body already decomposing.” Declan’s knuckles cracked as he grabbed the butler’s collar: “I don’t believe Cora is dead. Are you and she conspiring to deceive me?” “She was fine a few days ago, how could she possibly be dead!” Nora, standing quietly beside, gently held Declan’s arm: “Big sister is strong-willed, maybe she’s joking.” Declan felt a sudden surge of anger. Yes, Cora had caused a scene a few days ago and he sent her away. Perhaps she was unwilling and used this trick to get his attention. Thinking this, Declan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Tell Cora to stop playing these petty tricks. I won’t fall for it.” “If you join Cora in her antics again, don’t bother coming to work.” Without waiting for the butler to speak, he closed the door. The butler sighed helplessly and could only have the body taken to the morgue for freezing. After ignoring Cora for two months, Declan figured she wouldn’t dare cause trouble again. Today was Mr. Declan Sr.’s return day. He had to take Cora to the family banquet; otherwise, Mr. Declan Sr. would be angry. Having ignored her for so long, Declan felt a bit guilty. He thought of bringing a gift back; Cora loved him so much, she would surely forgive him. Thinking this, Declan called the butler: “Notify Cora that I’m coming to pick her up today.” The butler looked up sharply: “Mr. Declan, but Miss Chen is already dead!” Declan furrowed his brow: “Butler, I’ve warned you before. If you keep playing along with Cora, you’ll…” Before he could finish, the butler quickly interrupted: “Mr. Declan, I’ve already sent Miss Chen’s body to the largest funeral home in the city.”
