Mistress Slapped the Pregnant Wife in the Hospital — Until Her Billionaire Mother's Revenge Became..

The fluorescent lights of Mercy General Hospital's maternity ward hummed overhead as Elena Volkov Chen gripped the edge of her bed, another contraction tearing through her body like lightning. Eight months and three weeks pregnant, she'd been admitted two hours ago with preeclampsia—dangerously high blood pressure that threatened both her life and her daughter's. "Mrs. Chen, your numbers are still elevated," the nurse said, adjusting the fetal monitor strapped across Elena's swollen belly. "We're going to need to induce labor tonight. Dr. Morrison is on her way." Elena nodded, her dark hair plastered to her forehead with sweat. She reached for her phone with trembling hands, pulling up Marcus's contact for the fourth time in two hours. Still no response to her texts. I'm in the hospital. They're inducing labor. Please come. Baby's in distress. I need you. Marcus, please. The read receipts mocked her. He'd seen every message. He just didn't care anymore. Elena closed her eyes against the tears that threatened, one hand moving protectively to her belly where Sophia—her daughter, her miracle—kicked weakly. She'd known her marriage was dying for months, had felt Marcus pulling away like a tide retreating before a tsunami. But she'd told herself it was work stress, that things would get better after the baby came, that love could survive anything if you just held on tight enough.
