Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Suicide Note

’But wouldn’t he feel this would be a lifelong regret for him?’

Claire Sinclair was unwilling to accept it; she felt it was unfair to him. "We’ve come so far, Adrian... I don’t want you to give up. Your dream is my dream... I can’t accept this..."

Adrian Quincy smiled at her. "Silly girl, don’t overthink it. I’ll definitely stay with you."

"Adrian..." Claire Sinclair bit her lip. ’It’s all my fault. I’m so useless, and now it’s come to this!’

-

From day to night, Claire Sinclair’s labor didn’t progress enough for delivery. The pain lasted late into the night, and by the early morning hours, she had finally dilated to eight centimeters and was wheeled into the delivery room once again.

A few hours later, the doctor came out with news that the mother was having a difficult delivery, terrifying everyone waiting outside.

Adrian Quincy’s heart leaped into his throat. The election, his ambitions—all of it vanished from his mind. At this moment, his world had shrunk to contain only his wife.

He could give up everything, as long as Claire was safe.

Even if it meant giving up the child, he needed Claire to be safe!

...

Before they knew it, day had broken, but Claire Sinclair still hadn’t come out.

Mrs. Quincy walked over to her son and asked, "Adrian, if you rush over now, you’ll still have a chance. Are you going to go?"

Adrian Quincy shook his head resolutely. "Mother, if I lose Claire, this world will be meaningless to me."

Mrs. Quincy sighed. "I respect your choice. Claire will be fine, don’t worry."

Adrian Quincy nodded.

Just then, Faye Dean rushed over, holding her son, and asked anxiously, "How’s Claire? Hasn’t she given birth yet?"

Everyone looked at her in unison, but no one spoke.

Seeing this, Faye Dean guessed the answer. She found a place to sit and said no more, waiting patiently.

After some time, Aiden Howkins also came in from outside. He walked up to Adrian Quincy and said, "Young Master Quincy, Ethan Kingsley has already headed over. Are you going?"

Adrian Quincy shook his head without a word.

Aiden said no more. ’He knew Young Master Quincy’s personality too well. If anything happened to Claire Sinclair, Young Master Quincy would give up everything without a second thought.’

’There was no question about it; that was just the kind of person Young Master Quincy was.’

Aiden looked at the delivery room door and thought, ’Claire Sinclair, you have to hang in there.’

「Two hours earlier, in a deserted villa district in Aethelgard.」

Ivy Tanner sat languidly on the sofa, a notebook in her hand, writing very carefully, stroke by stroke:

Day 1, overcast.

The baby kicked me again today. It’s always so sudden. I was so looking forward to him coming out soon to spend the long years with me, but sadly, there’s no chance for that now.

But I did give it a little thought. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, their name will be Willa, because his father and mother are both heartless people. So, he is destined to receive no love, destined never to come into this world.

Everything I wanted to say is here. Goodbye, to this unfriendly world.

——

The suicide note was, for all intents and purposes, finished.

Ivy Tanner folded the note, put it in her pocket, and prepared to leave.

The place she was heading to was the Kingsley Group, Ethan Kingsley’s business empire. She planned to go to the roof of that building and pretend to jump, thereby threatening Ethan Kingsley: either come back and save her, or go to the speaker’s podium.

’It couldn’t be helped. Since she could never find Corinne Linden to come and deal with her, she could only take the initiative herself.’

She had just taken a single step when a rat suddenly scurried out from under her feet. She screamed, reflexively lifting her foot. Her other foot twisted awkwardly, and her body instantly lost its balance...

Although she managed to grab a sofa cushion in time, it was no use.
