The men froze.
Jenna was brought out on a stretcher at that moment.
“Jenna!” Soren ran over while Zach followed closely behind.
As for Jenna, she had tears in her eyes and spoke feebly. “I’m sorry for making you two worry about me again, Soren, Zach…”
Little did she know Zach would urgently ask, “Where did you get that parcel from?”
“Yeah, who gave it to you?” Soren was also anxious. “Zach and I have been with you these past few days, but we didn’t hear anyone knock on the door. How did you discover that parcel?”

I snorted and rolled my eyes before leading Juliet away. How could they ask Jenna such a painfully stupid question? They were probably so obsessed with her that their brains had turned to mush.
Jenna stiffened.
“About that… I don’t know either! I just woke up and saw that parcel on my bed.” A hint of unease flickered in her eyes as she stammered. Then, she groaned. “Ouch, my stomach hurts! It feels like my insides are burning…‘
Zach stared at her with a frosty look like never before. It was as if he had finally seen her for what she truly was for the first time.
Meanwhile, Soren frowned as though he were conflicted. Then, he spun to run toward me and Juliet. “Eliza!”
However, there was no way Juliet and I would stop walking or turn our heads.
“I understand it now. There’s been a misunderstanding! I misunderstood you! I don’t blame you for our baby’s death anymore.
Let’s go home now, and I’ll make you a yummy meal. We can try again to get pregnant after some time. Hmm?” Soren blabbered.
He refused to give up. He placed both hands on the door of the cab I hailed.
I met his eyes with an empty gaze. “A misunderstanding? I nearly died in a fire. I lost my baby, and I went through unbearable
pain to survive in the end. Yet you were busy fooling around with Jenna and Zach.
“Now, you’re brushing everything off as a mere misunderstanding, and you even have the audacity to suggest that we try for another baby? How shameless must you be to utter such words in
public?”
