“If I hadn’t left Seattle three years ago, would our ending be different today?”
“I’m sorry for dragging Ford Enterprises into this today.”
“I hope in our next life, you never meet me.”
“If we hadn’t met in the sea that day, maybe we’d both have wonderful lives.”
“I’m truly exhausted!”
“Thank you for caring for me these years. You’ll forgive me no matter what, right?”
She glanced at her phone screen where a new message appeared.
She swiftly wiped her tears, seeming resolved.
After speaking, she turned and stepped into the icy pool.
Water quickly rose past her waist, her chest, then over her head.
Her white dress fanned out underwater like a lily silently blooming and wilting in darkness.
The live stream went wild.
[Holy shit!

She actually jumped!]
[Call the police!
What’s the address?]
[Madwoman!
This woman’s insane!]
[Wuwu, despite her scandals, she looks so pitiful…]
[There’s a limit to faking things!
This is a human life!]
Bubbles from her mouth dwindled on the surface until vanishing completely.
She slowly closed her eyes, body floating limply.
Just then, a figure burst into the frame.
It was Alexander!
His face showed unprecedented panic and fury. Without hesitation, he leaped into the pool, scooped the unconscious Vivian into his arms, and rushed her to the poolside ground.
He checked her breathing, his face ashen, then bent down without hesitation to perform first aid, even giving her… mouth–to–mouth resuscitation himself.
After several compressions and breaths, Vivian suddenly coughed up

water, weakly opening her eyes.
Seeing Alexander’s face so close, all her pent–up despair erupted instantly. She threw her arms around him, wailing uncontrollably.
“Alexander!
Why won’t you let me die!
I don’t want to burden you anymore!”
“Was it… a mistake when we first met?”
Alexander steadied her trembling body, his voice low and firm: “Don’t say such things.”
“I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Vivian cried harder: “I don’t want to ruin your marriage… You know I‘ ve never tried to climb into your bed… I respect you, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position… But I still dragged the Ford Family down…”
Alexander cut her off, his tone pained and self–reproaching: “Silly girl.”
“You’re not dragging me down!”
“It’s my fault for not getting to you sooner.
He met her eyes, enunciating every word clearly: “Hush now, don’t speak. I’m taking you to the hospital!”

Vivian froz
Without another word, Alexander carefully lifted her and carried her
off the rooftop.
The live stream continued uninterrupted.
This scene exploded across the internet once more.
Vivian’s viewership skyrocketed to tens of millions online.
Infamy was still fame.
She was the undisputed queen of traffic.
Even with no one on camera, the gossip–hungry crowd refused to leave.
Comments scrolled by like speedometers hitting fifty.
[OMG!
Mr. Ford is here!
A hero saving the beauty!]
[So Alexander and Vivian are true love?
She just said she never tried to sleep with him!]
[Then what’s his marriage to Lisa?
A business arrangement?

Or is Lisa the other woman?]
[Too much info–my brain is fried!]
[This scandal keeps growing! What about Mrs. Ford?]
[Drama of the year!
What a plot twist!]
The internet boiled over again, buzzing with wild speculation.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Lisa watched the spectacle unfold as online sentiment shifted instantly.
“She’s such a drama queen!”
“Only a fool like Alexander would believe her.”
“She timed that jump perfectly–one minute earlier and she’d be reporting to Hades!”
Matthew spat out angrily, tossing her phone aside.
Lisa remained unfazed, perhaps numb to it all.
“Matthew, help me with discharge papers. I want to go home.”
Matthew reached to check her temperature again, confirming no fèver
remained.
“Fine. Better than risking unwanted encounters!”
As she turned to leave, Andrew entered with a food bag. “Mrs. Ford,

your dinner. The boss asked me to bring your favorite Crab Bagels and Gingko Nut Porridge.”
From Gourmet Teahouse. Had he delivered last time too?
And upgraded her room… Did he know her condition?
Did he know about the baby?
Lisa fell silent, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Did Alexander send you to order this?”
Matthew narrowed his eyes at him.
“Of course, the boss thinks of Mrs. Ford every single moment.”
Andrew smiled, carefully unpacking the meal containers one by one.
“Throw it out! Lisa doesn’t like this anymore!
And you….. get lost!”
Matthew glared, jabbing a finger toward the door.
Andrew’s smile froze mid–air, looking rather awkward.
What’s going on? Did Mrs. Ford’s taste change after a fever?
Seeing his clueless expression only fueled Matthew’s anger. “Dude, didn’t you watch the live stream?”
“Live stream? What live stream?”
