Even in the car accident five years ago, she had only been angry momentarily. She had wanted to die with Holden. But she had never thought he would die alone. How could he die like this?
No, this couldn’t be. She didn’t want him to die like this.
Sadie felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her face turned pale.
Her eyes were horribly red.
It was only then that Zayden noticed Sadie’s expression. He looked at her in shock and asked, “What’s with that face? Why are you reacting like this? Do you still have feelings for him?”

He sneered, “Don’t even think about it. Holden is dead. Besides, even if he is alive, he doesn’t take you seriously. There is only one woman in his heart, and that is Ariana. As for you? Think about it yourself. After waiting for him for many years, has he ever cared about you? Was he ever intimate with you? Those are the things you desperately desire, right? Ariana has got them effortlessly.”
Zayden looked at Sadie with a faint smile and said, “Besides, if you were the one who died today, I’m afraid Holden would be so happy that he wouldn’t shed a single tear for you.”
Upon hearing Zayden’s words, Sadie’s mood became complicated. She felt angry and sad at the same time. But she managed to hold back her tears.
At that moment, Zayden suddenly grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. He said, “You are already pregnant with my child; how could you still think about someone else?”
It was only then that Sadie understood everything. A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.
Zayden was right. The only person Holden loved was Ariana. He had never cared about her all these years. Why would she feel sad for him?
And the most important thing was that Ariana was dead.
At the thought of this, Sadie smiled. She stroked Zayden’s face and said, “How can that be? I’m already your woman. I don’t have anyone else in my heart. I just didn’t expect him to die like this.”

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled charmingly. “Now that Holden is gone, the Fredrick family’s inheritance…”
Zayden smiled. He gently touched Sadie’s belly and said, “Of course, it belongs to my baby.”
In the hospital, Ariana lay on the bed. Her eyes were tightly shut.
Layers of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.
She had a nightmare. It was that car accident five years ago. The impact caused a loud crashing sound. Theodore and Helen were covered in blood. Helen crawled towards her, screaming to kill her.
But the moment Helen pounced on her, the scene changed. Everyone was on a huge ship, including Mitchel.
Suddenly, the ship began to shake violently and sink slowly. Helen stared at her coldly from behind. She ran to the bow of the ship in fear, only to see Mitchel fall into the sea when she turned around.
Her dream abruptly stopped.
“No!” With a scream, Ariana suddenly woke up from her slumber and jolted up. Her clothes were drenched in sweat.
Her hands clutched the sheet tightly as she tried to catch her breath. While she was still trying to gather her thoughts, someone pulled her into a warm embrace.
Holden held her in his arms, his large hands patting her back to soothe her anxiety. With a gentle voice, he muttered, “You’re safe here.”
