I froze in place, the words I wanted to explain on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn’t bring myself to say them.
Eva threw herself into Elon’s arms, crying uncontrollably.
“Mr. Gray, I just wanted to bring the child to meet his future mother, but she called my child an illegitimate child, saying he’s not worthy of competing for the family inheritance with her little one!”
“I never meant for my child to fight for inheritance, but if Natalie can’t accept him, I’ll take him away now!”
Elon’s face turned cold, and he grabbed my collar, immediately slapping me without hesitation.
“Natalie, since I adopted Christian, he is my child. Whether you accept it or not, you have to treat him well!”
I covered my face, my eyes blurry with tears, looking at him.
Before I could explain myself, little one suddenly lunged at Christian, fighting with him.
He kept crying out:
“Don’t, don’t bully mommy, bad woman!”
Elon’s face darkened, and he suddenly kicked little one away.
I screamed and rushed over, but I was too late.
little one’s head hit the edge of the table, and blood poured out instantly.
I trembled as I held him, trying to cover his wound
But the blood kept flowing, more and more.
I helplessly lifted my eyes and cried out to Elon:

“Please, save our little one!”
Elon was about to come forward to pick little one up, but Eva screamed and grabbed his hand.
“Mr. Gray, Christian’s face is bleeding. What if he gets a scar?”
Elon turned around, and only then did he notice the slight scratch on Eva’s son’s face.
He hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to pick up Christian and quickly headed toward the door.
A sharp pain shot through my chest.
I fought to hold back the pain, stumbling behind them.
Before we could get on the ambulance, Elon reached out to stop me.
A flicker of guilt flashed in his eyes, but his tone was unusually firm.
“Natalie, little one’s brain was already injured before. Even though he’s bleeding, it’s not that serious.”
“Christian is different. He will be the heir to the Gray family in the future. If he gets a scar, it’ll affect the entire Gray family.”
“Wait a little longer. Another ambulance is coming soon.”
Before I could respond, he escorted Eva and her son onto the ambulance, driving off quickly.
Despair and helplessness nearly made me collapse.
Fortunately, there was an emergency doctor among the Guests who was able to examine and bandage little one in time.
After confirming little one was alright, I changed our flight and rushed to the airport with him.
On the way, I made one last call to Elon, wanting to say goodbye.

As soon as the call connected, his angry shout rang through the phone:
“Natalie, are you done yet? I told you, another ambulance is coming soon!”
I paused for a moment, then smiled lightly as I replied:
“I just wanted to let you know, little one is fine. You can get back to your business now. We won’t disturb you anymore!”
After hanging up, I sent the divorce agreement I had prepared earlier to Elon.
Then, I threw my phone away.
I waited until late at night, when Elon had finally managed to put Eva and her son to bed, before quietly leaving the hospital room.
Thinking back to how he had treated me today, a hint of guilt tugged at his heart.
He waved his hand and called for his assistant.
“Go check where little one is in the hospital. I need to go see him immediately.“.
Ten minutes later, the assistant rushed back with a terrified look on his face.
“Mr. Gray, I checked. Mrs. Gray and little one never got on the ambulance.”
“Five hours ago, she sent you a divorce agreement. She said she knows the whole truth and wants you to never disturb her and little one again!”
Elon’s breath hitched, and he stood frozen in place.
After a long silence, he forced a weak smile.
“What are you talking about? Benny is so badly injured, how could Natalie not have gotten into the ambulance?”
“She wouldn’t divorce me. We’ve been together for ten years, she wouldn’t leave me!”
