Netizen H: “I literally cried when she said she’d accept her fate. Only those who have walked this path can relate.”

Countless netizens shed tears of sympathy, their hearts aching for Roxanne’s suffering.

Roxanne soon obtained the painkillers. As she and Maxwell walked out of the hospital, Stephanie was on the bench outside, waiting for McKayla to bring the car from the garage.

Before Stephanie could react, they were already spotted by paparazzi, who surrounded them quickly.

Camera flashes went off, almost blinding her.

Upon seeing her, Maxwell frowned. “What are you doing here?”

She stood up, her gaze sweeping over between him and Roxanne’s hand resting on his arm.

Before she could say anything, paparazzi began to stir up trouble.

“Ms. Shelton, are you here to confront Ms. Gregg and Mr. Humphrey after seeing the trending topics?”

“Ms. Shelton, your husband shows up in public with another man. Care to share with us how you feel about that?”

“Ms. Shelton, what will you do to Ms. Gregg?”

Everyone believed Stephanie was here to block Roxanne’s way and to

compete with her.

Including Maxwell.

The disgust and hatred in his eyes as he looked at Stephanie grew bigger.

He said, “Roxanne’s sick. Don’t you know that?”

Clearly, he was warning Stephanie.

Stephanie sneered, knowing he thought she was targeting Roxanne.

But he was wrong.

She wouldn’t stoop so low.

Given her silence, some paparazzi turned to ask Roxanne how she thought of homewreckers. Just then, Maxwell called out to her, “Stephanie!”

He wanted her to speak up for Roxanne.

Just like always, he expected her to disobey all his requests.

But she no longer wanted to.

Why would she? She didn’t even want him anymore.

She placed her hand on her lower abdomen instinctively, the pain in there still haunting her.

“I’m here to see a friend,” she said after a long silence.

They were in the cooling–off period, and she wanted no one to know about her pregnancy

She lied to answer Maxwell’s question.

With that, she turned to leave.

But the paparazzi wouldn’t leave her alone.

They kept swarming toward her, shoving her.

“Ms. Shelton, have you read those online comments? Netizens are demanding that you step aside so that Mr. Humphrey and Ms. Gregg can be together.”

“Ms. Shelton, you know Ms. Gregg is dying. Can’t you grant her final wish?”

“Ms. Shelton…”

Having no intention of making any response, she just wanted to leave.

But the paparazzi still blocked her path, fearing they might not capture the three in one frame again.

Sensing that Maxwell wasn’t planning on interfering, someone pushed Stephanie hard.

She stumbled and immediately cupped her belly firmly.

Stephanie tumbled onto the ground.
