---- Chapter 4 Like a tidal wave, everyone surged forward to yank Julian out of the car. "How could you be this rotten?" Douglas roared, delivering a slap to Julian's face. "Your sister-in-law died to save your wife, and now you're trying to kill your brother? Where the hell is your conscience?" The slap landed so hard that it split the corner of his mouth open. Yet, Douglas was not done. He grabbed Julian by the hair and beat him relentlessly.
Carol joined in, striking his face over and over as she wailed uncontrollably. "My daughter is already dead! Now, you want to run over her husband too?" She shrieked . "You refused the surrogacy plan. You didn't just try to end Nathan's bloodline . You wanted to end his life too!" Blood streamed down Julian's face as he was beaten from all sides, but Bianca just stood there and watched in silence.
It was only when Douglas shoved him hard, sending him stumbling against the car door and cracking his head open, that she finally spoke. "That's enough," she snapped. "Nathan's hurt. Getting him to the hospital is the priority now." ---- She helped Nathan into the car herself. Meanwhile , the man himself clutched his leg and groaned about it being broken, though there was not a drop of blood on him.

In contrast, Julian had been beaten so badly by his in- laws and parents that his whole body was stained with blood. But Bianca did not spare him so much asa glance. She drove off with Nathan, leaving him sitting on the concrete floor alone. Julian's heart had gone ice cold. He could not even cry anymore. In the end, he dragged himself to the hospital . As it turned out, he needed five stitches on his forehead .
His face was so swollen that he barely looked human, and his body was covered in dark bruises all over. The young nurse treating his wounds bit her lower lip, hesitated , and then finally asked, "Sir, are you being abused by your wife? Do you need me to call the police?" Julian flashed her a bitter smile and shook his head. He was being abused, yes, but not just by his wife. It was by everyone. At that moment, Bianca emerged from the next room, carefully helping Nathan out.
A doctor followed close behind, speaking with her as they exited. "Your husband's fine. It's just some bruising on the surface. ---- A little rest, and he'll be good as new." Bianca nodded eagerly. "Thank you, doctor. I'll take good care of him." She never corrected him-that Nathan was her brother-in-law, and not her husband. Once the doctor left, she supported Nathan as they walked out.
He suddenly grinned and asked, "Bianca, don't we look just like newlyweds right now?" Bianca laughed softly in response. "We do, don't we? Especially with me being pregnant." Asmug smile crept onto Nathan's face. "Knocked you up right after marriage? What a beast I must be." Bianca's face flushed pink as she gave him a playful smack to the arm. "You're so naughty." He caught her delicate hand and held it, chuckling." Am I not?
Who was the one begging me to stop last night?" In broad daylight, they flirted with each other without shame. "Oh my. Why are you crying?" Next to Julian, the nurse gasped. "Is it the pain? I'll get you some painkillers." Without realizing it, tears had begun to stream down his face. Julian laughed , wiping them away with the back of his hand. "Yeah. It hurts." Cuts and bruises would heal eventually , but how did ---- one mend a wounded heart?
