His Human Luna Managed to Get Away Chapter 04 The Truth She Couldn’t Speak

When she woke up again, Soren was sitting by her bed, fiis expression tense. “Nia, you’re finally awake Thank God you’re okay.”

A sharp, needling pain pierced Nia’s chest. She had no strength left and asked in horror. “What happened?!”

“Rhea got scared when she fell into the water. I had the doctor take a bit of your heart’s blood to help her She’s fine now.”

Nia’s vision went dark, and she nearly spat out blood. “Who cares if she’s fine?! Why did you take my heart’s blood without telling me? And I was the one who almost drowned!”

Soren brushed it off as jealousy and said helplessly, “Nia, it was an emergency. You were still able to call for help, but Rhea’s afraid of water and had no strength left. Moreover, only a protection forged from your heart’s blood can guard the child—and let the baby grow naturally attached to you.”

“Soren! I don’t want this child! Fine, let’s just get a divorce. You and her—”

“Nia!”

Soren’s face darkened. “Don’t ever say that again.”

“Rhea saved me from an icy lake when we were kids. Now she’s carrying a child for you. We owe her two lives! But you have to understand, the only one I love is you.”

Nia’s mind went utterly blank. A searing, stabbing pain pricked at her temples. “Icy lake?!”

The man before her slowly overlapped with a face from her memory. Nia was thrown back to the winter when she was twelve years old.

She had jumped into an icy lake to save a little boy who had fallen in. After pushing him up, she sank because she had no strength left and was in the hospital for three days before waking up.

Then she remembered the hostility Rhea had shown her from their very first meeting. The truth hit her like a thunderbolt. “Soren… you got the wrong person. The one who saved you back then-

“Mr. Shaw! Miss Hale is crying and asking for you!”

Soren shot to his feet and left in a flash. He moved so quickly that he ripped out the IV needle from her hand. The words Nia hadn’t finished died in her throat.

Watching his determined, retreating figure, blood oozed from the back of her hand, throbbing with pag She suddenly laughed. But as she laughed, tears fell.

He kept saying he was just repaying a debt, but his care for Rhea had long since crossed the line beyond gratitude.

And his so-called love for her-proudly proclaimed-was thin as dust, vanishing without a trace in every

choice he made.

The monitor’s alarm blared sharply, as if mocking Nia for fooling herself all year

A year of intimacy. Three hundred and sixty-five nights of being together. Enough time for love to grow

Every second after returning home confirmed her suspicions.

He casually took the sacred amulet she had traveled to a holy mountain for-walking for days and praying countless times just to obtain it—and put it on Rhea’s wrist. “Rhea is carrying a child. She needs the blessing more.”

He ordered the rose garden, Nia’s favorite, torn down. “Rhea can’t stand roses. Replace them all with Oleanders. She likes those.”

Even when Rhea had a poor appetite during pregnancy, Soren made Nia taste every dish first. “Nia, you try t. Rhea’s morning sickness is severe. We can’t afford any mistakes

Soren naturally squeezed every ounce of value out of her-demanding spre stay by his side every day.

hare the hardships of pregnancy, and give her very blood and flesh to this absurd process of surrogacy.

As if all this shared suffering could make Nia willingly accept a child that carried another woman’s blood.

Nia, the baby is having a severe rejection reaction. My child and I can’t leave Soren. Would you mind noving out of the master bedroom?”

Rhea stroked her pregnant belly with a beaming smile, but her tone left no room for negotiation.

Nia turned away in silence. Ten minutes later, she had moved all her things out of the bedroom.

Soren walked into the guest room and grabbed her wrist. “Nia… why aren’t you fighting anymore?” His >rows were furrowed, and unease churned beneath his eyes.

Isn’t that what you wanted?” Nia lifted her face, the corners of her mouth curving into a perfect smile. Her due date is ten days away. I can hold out a little longer.”

The unease in his eyes turned to joy, and he pulled her into a tight embrace. “Once Rhea gives birth, the hree of us…”

Nia leaned docilely against his shoulder, but her gaze drifted to a certain spot. The corners of her lips curled up.

There lay the plane ticket she had booked. There, hidden at the bottom of her closet, was her passport And there, her soon-to-be freedom.
