With a bitter smile, Abel grasped a vial of potent fluid and doused himself with it.

The agony that tore through him was immediate, as if he were a torch ablaze. Choosing such an end was beyond imagination for anyone given a choice.

His heart, though, was beyond repair, the point of no return had been crossed.

Abel's voice was resigned, laced with a final plea. "Miss, my time of aid has passed. Regarding our child, please bring it to the world..."

Abel knew Katie lied, but still, he clung to a slender thread of hope. He had no regrets.

“I promise you. Go ahead with your work, Abel," Katie reassured softly.

"Understood," Abel replied, a short, solemn acceptance.

The pursuers were upon Abel now. Commands rang out, sharp and cold.

“Freeze, hands up!"

Abel met his fate with a resigned smirk. In an instant, azure flames wrapped around him, and he was swept into an eerie spectacle of cobalt combustion.

Everyone was too stunned to react. They had never seen such a bizarre flame that could instantly burn a person to ashes, leaving no trace of tissues. Not only the body but also the phone was consumed by the flame.

The medical staff finally came back to his senses, exclaiming, "Report it! Report it quickly! The criminal under tight monitoring has escaped from the hospital!"

In an instant, the special hospital became busy. Everyone Looked for that criminal frantically.

When Katie heard the busy tone on the other end of the line, she knew Abel was already dead, leaving no trace behind.

At the thought of this, Katie felt a sense of relief. The only person who could prove the truth of the paternity of her child was dead. Finally, no one would bother her now.

For Katie, Abel was nothing but a low life. If he had only been obedient, she wouldn't have sent him to his death this soon. But he dared to get laid with her when she was under the effect of the drug.

She didn't even blink on Abel's death. She assumed, with her money, having another loyal guy shouldn't be an issue.

Katie threw her phone into the toilet bowl and poured a special solution into it. Then, she watched it slowly turn into sludge.

It shouldn't take long for her to become Mitchel's rightful wife.

Katie smiled. She only had to get Raegan out of the picture and keep the syringe in her hands. By then, Mitchel could not refuse her.
