As Abigail carried the lifeless baby outside, Dorothy burst into loud sobs. Ignoring the older woman, Abigail
walked straight to Samuel. He had been bound for so long his blood circulation had been cut off, leaving his face
a deep shade of purple. Abigail lifted the baby high for him to see. "This is your son. You killed him."
Tears still glistened on her cheeks. Her tone was initially calm, but her next words were filled with rage.
"What will it take for you to finally stop? What will it take for you to behave? Look! You've killed your own son.
You've brought turmoil to our family. What do you think you're doing? Just because you think Leona fancies you,
you think you can trample on everyone? You ungrateful wretch! She's fighting for her life! Do you even
understand what you've done wrong?"
Samuel kept avoiding looking at his mother, and especially didn't want to look at the lifeless baby. Having heard
everything that had happened inside, he couldn't articulate his feelings at the moment, but refused to look at
the baby. He hadn't killed his son. It wasn't his fault.
"Take him away!" Samuel mumbled, blood bubbling from his lips. "I don't want to see him. | won't."
But he did see the baby, just for a fleeting moment. The lifeless baby lay there, swaddled in cloth. The baby, so
handsand precious, should have been crying and wailing, but there was only silence. This was his son... and
he was dead!
Samuel whimpered, which eventually escalated into a heart-wrenching cry. "Take him away! | don't want to see

continue to flow. "It's too late, Samuel. Sthings can't be undone. Your child won't cback to life. Nothing
can return to how it was."
Once Abigail's anger subsided, only sorrow was left in her voice as she said, "From a young age, you've been my
pride and joy. You began your education at six years old and earned countless praise from your teachers.
"You becone of the top scholars at a young age, and the king handpicked you as a talented candidate. You
married a duchess, becheir to the Earl of Gracehold's family, and had a title awaiting you in the future.
"Your life and career should have
been smooth sailing, but you let mere fleeting pleasure ruin everything. What's worse is that Ruby wasn't just a
normal
courtesan. She was a concubine's daughter from Grand Princess Eleanor's household, sent as a calculated attack
on our family. You're an intelligent man, so how could you have fallen into that trap and gambled away your
future?
"Leona adored you, and you discarded her like she was nothing. Now, you've even killed your son. The bond you
had with Leona is gone. You've lost both your status as heir and your official position-you've lost everything.
You've ruined your life." Samuel cried in anguish, but no one knew what he mourned for. Was it for his lost love
with Ruby, the titles and his future slipping through his fingers, his lifeless child, or perhaps the memory of his
wife who once treated him warmly?
His cries were hysterical, echoing with countless grievances and unfulfilled desires.
No one stopped him, nor did anyone comfort him. Only Dorothy stood in the doorway, her own tears trailing
down her face as she watched her grandson. Meanwhile, Leona had survived the ordeal. Sebastian announced
that the severe bleeding had ceased, but she would need tto fully recover.
When Leona finally woke up, she grasped Carissa's hand as tightly as she could and whispered, "Cari, take me
away."
"You need to rest and recuperate, silly child. Where could you possibly go?" Heather said as she wiped her tears.
But Carissa had already stepped outside to consult Sebastian, asking, "Can we carry her out now?"
"It's best to wait until tomorrow. You should make preparations. You can either carry or lift her, but she needs
medication today. After three doses, she can leave. Find a quiet place for her to recover. She won't survive here
in Gracehold Estate," Sebastian replied.
Heather rushed out to stop them. "She can't leave, Carissa! Don't encourage her foolishness. This is her
husband's home! Where can she go?"
Carissa ignored her completely and
