“What are you doing?” Donald pushed the door open, his face twisted in impatience. “They’re gone. Get out here. You’re carrying Devin’s baby nowe eat.”


    Sophie tightened her grip on the paper, her eyes vacant. She gave Donald a dazed smile. “It’s snowing. It’s snowing hard!”


    “What a maniac!” Donald took several steps back. Then his gazended on Olivia’s red handbag nearby. Snatching it up, he rummaged through it for a while, finding nothing but a few tissues and


    a pen.


    Only after checking thoroughly did Donald rx.


    “I knew it. What kind of tricks could a young girl like her possibly have up her sleeve?” he sneered.


    Hearing this, Sophie finally felt a bit of relief.


    Olivia was smart–smart enough to guess her bag would be searched, so she wrote her message on a used tissue to avoid suspicion.


    With that thought, Sophie’s worry for Olivia eased. She believed that with Olivia’s wit and resourcefulness, dealing with the hospital staff would be a simple matter.


    What she feared was that the hospital might use force.


    Over the past year, Sophie had tried refusing, reasoning, even running away–but she had failed every time.


    She had once asked, “Why me?”


    They had told her, “Because Devin likes your face. And your education.”


    Here, beautiful, highly educated women were in even greater danger.


    Besides, Magnolia Town had powerful backing, the kind that kept them untouchable for years.


    Sophie couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Would Olivia really seed?‘


    Sophie didn’t know that everything happening tonight was being streamed live by Olivia to viewers all across the country. With Andrew working behind the scenes to boost the stream, it had shot to the top of the national live–stream rankings within the first ten minutes.


    Meanwhile, Steven and a few others were leading Olivia toward the hospital.


    Steven’s gaze was thick with desire. She was, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen since he became a surgeon.

    Olivia was stunning–slim waist, long legs, and those eyes–so bright it felt like they could see straight through a man. She wasn’t just beautiful–she was rare.


    Even Steven felt it would be a waste to turn her into just another surrogate. A girl like her, he’d rather keep for himself.


    As the only surgeon in Magnolia Town, Steven had seen his share of women over the years.


    Some were kidnapped, others tricked intoing here, but their fate was always the same- surrogacy. And with his influence, one word from him could decide whether they lived or died.


    His tastes ran toward the young and pretty, and he never let them go after he was done. Instead, he’d throw them into the egg–harvesting rooms to keep the money flowing.


    This time, he was here on his father’s orders–things were “under scrutiny”tely, and he’d been told to keep a low profile.


    He’d heard Olivia was young, beautiful, and had some medical knowledge, so he’d decided to see for himself. Now that he had, she was even better than he imagined.


    Steven shed what he thought was a charming smile. “Since you’re Donald’s daughter, that makes you a good friend of mine. If you ever need anything, juste to me.


    I hear you’ve got a medical background too? Guess that makes us colleagues.”


    Olivia walked with an unhurried, steady grace, never once meeting his


    eyes.


    Steven’s outstretched hand hung awkwardly in midair.


    The livestream exploded again.


    God, he’s disgusting. Old creep, get away from her!]


    Don’t touch her! I feel so bad for this streamer.]


    Why isn’t the police doing something? Can someone exin why this doctor’s harassing a young woman?]


    [Keep this stream at the top! It’s already number one, don’t let it drop.]


    Jenny, watching the stream on her phone, was frantic. She quickly sent Olivia ten virtual rockets.


    “Why the hell would Olivia go to a ce like this?” she muttered to herself.
