"Besides, wasn't the garage footage clear? You were the one driving the car, right?” James's sharp tone cut
through the air.
"James, you have to believe me! It was Charlotte!" Lucy insisted, her voice trembling with desperation.
Charlotte's expression darkened, but she maintained her composure. "I don't understand why Lucy is so
adamant about blamingfor what happened to Sarah, but | didn't go to that neighborhood. | was at my
parents' house for an important matter," she said firmly.
"You borrowed my car and now you're denying it!" Lucy shot back, refusing to back down.
Charlotte calmly opened her handbag and pulled out a sheet of paper. She handed it to James. "James, | didn't
go to the neighborhood. But this is something
| wanted to give you."
James looked at the paper, his expression changing in an instant. His eyes widened in disbelief as he gasped.
"Charlotte, you're pregnant!"
Mrs. Chancer's attention snapped to them. She hurriedly pushed Lucy aside and rushed to James. "James! Is that
true?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.
James's face lit up with joy. "Yes, Mom! Look at this!" He showed her the paper, his smile unable to be contained.
Mrs. Chancer's expression softened immediately. "Pregnant? Oh, you must sit down and rest!" She gently guided
Charlotte to a seat, looking at her with careful attention. "Charlotte, I've waited so long to hold a grandchild.
Finally, it's happening."

"I just found out today," Charlotte replied with a small, bittersweet smile. "I rushed back to share the news with
you. | wanted it to be a surprise, but | didn't expect Lucy to make such outrageous accusations."
Lucy, unwilling to stay silent, opened her mouth to retort, but Mrs. Chancer cut her off firmly. "Lucy, your sister-
in-law is pregnant. She shouldn't be stressed. You need to let things go."
"Mom! I'm not lying about this. She did borrow my car yesterday," Lucy insisted, refusing to give Charlotte any
leeway.
James crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly. "And how do you explain the footage from the garage?"
Lucy faltered, a wave of frustration crossing her face. She knew the evidence against her was overwhelming,
leaving her unable to explain. Despite that, she stubbornly raised her chin. "James, Mom, | didn't do it, and |
won't admit to something | didn't do."
The room fell into tense silence, the conflicting emotions thick in the air.
In the city hospital, Sarah lay stiffly on the hospital bed, her body tense but seemingly unharmed.
In her dream, she was falling endlessly.
"Sasa, | love you."
Her body trembled slightly. She turned toward the voice calling her name. The youthful, vibrant face of the man
left her momentarily dazed.
It was Zachary. She knew it she was sure of it.
But this Zachary looked younger, almost like a memory from years ago. Yet, a strange realization struck her-
years ago, she hadn't even met Zachary.
Sarah let out a sharp scream, startling herself awake.
She sat up in a cold sweat, fumbling to turn on the light. The dim glow illuminated the room, revealing its worn
and barren state.

Reaching out, she touched her own face with a trembling finger. The coldness of her skin sent a shiver down her
spine, and she instinctively flinched away.
