Chapter 4
Rebecca listened to her father’s words and couldn’t help but glance at her brothers. She found it amusing to see Charlie’s indignant expression.
“Becky, I’m your father, Patrick. I’m fifty–six years old. From now on, if you need anything, come to the Carter family. We’ve got your back. If anyone dares to cross with you, just tell me, and I will deal with them right back!” Patrick looked at Rebecca and declared, his voice booming with authority.
“Okay,” Rebecca replied, a warmth spreading through her chest.
“And don’t forget me, Becky. I’m your second brother, Bryce Carter. I work at the police station as a cop. If you ever

Everyone turned to look at Bryce, their eyes filled with deep emotions.
Paul looked at Rebecca and explained, “Becky, Bryce became a cop for your sake. In the years you were missing. we tried every possible method but couldn’t locate you. Bryce hates human traffickers to the core, so he becomes a cop, hoping to catch every last one of them and put them in jail. And deep down, he hoped that he might find you again by doing that.”
Rebecca was stunned. She never imagined that her second brother was a police officer and, even more surprising. that he chose this path because of her.
Her heart was pounding. It had been cold for years and finally turned warm. She opened her arms to Bryce.
Bryce walked over, opened his arms, and gently embraced her.
The next moment, her mom joined in, hugging them gently, followed by her dad and her two other brothers. In just a few minutes, the whole family was hugging together, overflowing with joy and happiness.
Paul stood nearby for a long time and couldn’t help but wipe the tears that had welled up
in his eyes.

to know each other, her mom, dad, and brothers quickly got busy again. Rebecca just had two babies, so there were so many things to do.
Baby clothes, tiny shoes, socks, hats, adorable little bottles, diapers… All needed to be prepared.
Rebecca laughed, pulling them aside and reassuring them, “Guys, relax! I’ve got everything covered. Don’t worry.”
As a single mom–to–be, Rebecca was determined to raise her twins with love and care. She’d been preparing for months, making sure they’d have everything they needed.
Hearing this, everyone went to see what she had prepared for the kids. After a while, they slowly calmed down

when they found everything in order.
“Alright, everyone, quiet down. Becky just gave birth and needs to rest. Let’s give her some peace and be quiet,” Paul suddenly reminded them.
Everyone finally realized this and quickly fell silent, keeping the room quiet and peaceful.
Meanwhile, at the Edwards Group…
Theodore frowned as he worked through a stack of documents, his annotations sharp and harsh. In just a few minutes, he tossed the files onto the desk with a cold expression. “Meeting, now!” he snapped.
Nearby, at the assistant’s desk, his friend Wyatt Shatner sighed deeply and said, “Theodore, shouldn’t you check on Rebecca at the hospital?”
“No need,” Theodore refused coldly, mocking with a sneer, “She had tried anything desperately to have my children. She’ll come crawling back.”
Wyatt wanted to say something but ultimately stayed silent.
He turned to notify all departments for a meeting. Everyone moved quickly, and soon, they were all in the top- floor conference room.
Theodore strode into the room with documents and promptly started the meeting seriously. It lasted for forty minutes, neither too long nor too short. When Theodore left the office, he couldn’t help but glance at his phone.
No notifications popped up.
Rebecca hadn’t called.
Since giving birth, she hadn’t called him except for that call before.
Back in his office, Theodore tossed his phone onto the desk but found his eyes drawn back to it. The phone remained silent, with no messages or calls from Rebecca.
“Wyatt,” Theodore said, his voice tinged with frustration.
“Do we have any appointments tonight?” he asked.
Wyatt quickly replied, “There was supposed to be a dinner tonight, but it was canceled due to an issue with the Shatner family, so…there’s nothing scheduled. You can get some rest.”
Theodore was agitated. After a moment of thought, he said, “Let’s go get a drink.”

Wyatt pondered for a moment before agreeing, “Alright.”

Everyone had been at the hospital watching over Rebecca for three days..
After that, they all had to return to Hivalis to take care of their work.
That afternoon, after saying goodbye to Rebecca, Patrick and her brothers left. Only her mother, Debra, and her uncle, Paul, who worked at the hospital, stayed with her.
Originally, everyone wanted her to go to Hivalis with them, but she had only signed a divorce license with Theodore and hadn’t finalized it at the courthouse, so she couldn’t leave yet.
She had to stay behind to finalize the divorce license with Theodore, and then she’d be free to head for Hivalis.
Debra was livid when she learned what had happened to her. She cursed the Mitchell family and the Edwards. family over and over, ready to use the Carter family’s influence to get justice for her daughter. But Rebecca held her
back.
On the fourth day, Rebecca was finally discharged from the hospital.
Back at home, she looked around at the familiar place. Every detail had been chosen by her with such care and love.
She wanted Theodore to feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy when he came home from work.
But all her efforts had been a joke. After Theodore woke up, he stayed at home for only two or three months before moving out.
He had no feelings for her at all. Even the children she carried were an accident.
She still remembered the first time she saw Theodore accompanying Janet for a prenatal checkup at the hospital.
Janet smugly announced that she was also pregnant, and the child was Theodore’s.
Rebecca was so furious and slapped Janet hard across the face, nearly causing a miscarriage.
Theodore had forced the divorce license on her soon after and never came home again.
Thinking about the pain of giving birth alone and the gossip she heard in the hospital room, she suddenly understood.
Some marriages simply weren’t meant to be.
