Marina had a long dream, and it seemed like reality. She was back in the original book. But this time, Marina could not resist or change anything.
She saw herself cause trouble and be thrown to a deserted island by Nicole. Marina saw tears in Nicole’s eyes when Nicole left.
For some reason, Marina was so sad that she burst into tears.
“Doctor, how is she?”
After a day and night of coma, Marina still didn’t wake up. Ryder leaned against the bed and stared at her.
Previously, he hated Marina a lot, which he admitted.
Ryder had prepared several divorce agreements, and he had even specially hired excellent lawyers to prepare for the custody of Nicole.
However, unknowingly, everything became different. Ryder sometimes felt that he was living in a dream.
“Mrs. Langdon donated too much blood to you. Plus, she is anemic and pregnant. So…”
The doctor told the truth. He found that Marina was pregnant when doing the blood test. And the result didn’t look good. Marina needed a good rest.
“Pregnant?”
Ryder was a little stunned when he thought of the chaotic night.
‘Marina and I are going to have a daughter or son as cute as Nicole,’ Ryder wondered.
“Yes.”
The doctor gave a few simple instructions, leaving Ryder alone in shock.
“Focus.”
Norton looked at his good friend with disdain. He hoped that Ryder would not do stupid things anymore after sobering up. Norton had no idea that Ryder would commit suicide.
“That woman said I am related to them by blood. It is an indisputable fact. She said if I want to break off the relationship with her, I should drain all my blood…”
Speaking of Yazmin, Ryder was emotionless because he had already returned his life to Yazmin.
From now on, he had no mother, and of course, no father.
Ryder did not want the Landon family’s property. But it did not mean that he would let the Langdons have it. Ryder wouldn’t let Mark benefit.
“Are you a fool? Why can’t you just let it go?”
Norton always knew that Ryder was stubborn and weird, but he never expected that Ryder would commit suicide.
“I was born to be used as a tool by my mother. No one wanted me. It makes sense that I can’t let it go.”
Ryder looked sullen. That was also why he hoped that Nicole could have a happy childhood. Ryder did not want his daughter to be used as a tool.
Therefore, he didn’t divorce Marina in the last three years. Ryder was always worried that Nicole’s stepmother would also use Nicole for money if he got married again.
So, Ryder put up with Marina all the time.
“Now that everything is over. You should also move on.”
Norton tried to persuade Ryder. It was not easy for him to be Ryder’s friend or to make money. It almost cost Norton’s life to perform the operation for Shawn. Now, Norton had to act like a shrink to comfort Ryder.
“You are not helping here.”
Ryder lowered his eyes and raised a smile. It seemed that his mood was not bad.
Ryder thought to himself, ‘I’m not living for myself now. I have Marina’s blood on me. Our blood is mixed together. I should be responsible for Marina.
I won’t give up, no matter if there is love between us or not, unless she is unwilling to be with me anymore.’
Ryder had already made up his mind.
“Am I not helping? I have tried my best to comfort you.”
Norton felt hurt again. He covered his chest with his hand. Norton was a doctor. He had seen a lot. Norton found the romance between men and women boring.
“You don’t understand because no one would risk their lives to donate blood to you.”
Ryder said frankly and hurt Norton once again.
Norton thought, ‘Ryder has just managed to live, while he starts showing off his love in front of me now. Piss me off!’
“Are you still going to get divorced?”
Norton thought to himself, ‘Marina is pregnant now. Ryder is really a monster. Didn’t he say that he and Marina would separate and would not have a baby?’
“No.”
Ryder didn’t want to get divorced anymore and wanted to spend the rest of his life with Marina.
“What if Marina falls in love with someone else?”
Norton asked the question carefully. Men shouldn’t be too confident. Otherwise, they would easily get disappointed. They might feel hurt by then.
Though as Ryder’s good friend, Norton had to admit that Ryder didn’t treat Marina well. Ryder and Marina were just using each other.
Moreover, Ryder had drugged Marina.
Although it was not a long time for Marina to take the medicine, Ryder did drug Marina on purpose.
“That’s not possible.”
Thinking about what Norton said, Ryder felt pain in his heart. He was unable to give up.
Ryder thought, ‘Marina came to me first. When I was about to die, she reached out her hand for me.
She is my salvation, and she should be responsible for me forever.
If Marina falls in love with someone else, I will lock her up. By then, she won’t be able to see that person and will have to be with me forever.’
Norton rubbed his arms and felt a little cold.
They talked in a low voice and did not notice that Marina had woken up.
“What happened to me?”
Marina had a terrible headache and wanted to sit up, but Ryder stopped her. Ryder carefully stepped forward, placed a pillow behind Marina, and supported Marina up.
“How are you feeling now?”
Marina was very happy that Ryder had woken up.
“I’m fine.”
Ryder wasn’t good at speaking. He wanted to talk to Marina alone. So, Ryder winked at Norton.
Norton pretended not to see it and thought, ‘What does Ryder think I am? Is he trying to get rid of me after using me?
No way! I’ll stay!’
Norton and Ryder made eye contact. Norton shrugged innocently and said with a smile, “Marina, you should be more careful in the future. After all, you are pregnant now.”
“Pregnant?”
Marina was stunned. She didn’t understand Norton’s meaning. After a long while, Marina realized that she got pregnant when…
Her face turned red and wasn’t that pale anymore.
Marina was lost in thought. ‘Can I have an abortion? Will Ryder think that I have this baby on purpose so that we won’t get divorced? But I had no idea about that.
Should I give up this baby?’
Marina was in a dilemma.
“Well… How are you going to deal with the Langdon Group?”
Marina didn’t want to face her pregnancy and changed the subject. She explained the difficulty first. Marina had clarified in front of the media. But Kayden had spread a lot of rumors. The netizens had many guesses.
“The Langdon Group is worthless now. It’s okay if Mark gets it.”
Ryder changed his strategy and recalled his own people. A large number of employees resigned from the Langdon Group, causing a decline in the company’s share price.
Kayden didn’t know that it wasn’t the end.
In fact, Ryder didn’t push it too far. But when he woke up this time, Ryder found that he didn’t care about those people who he used to care about. Those people were like strangers to Ryder now.
