When the taxi arrived at Carol's home, Diana saw Kyle standing at the door.

Kyle walked towards them, but Carol and Diana ignored him completely.

Diana helped Carol onto the bed. Even that was exhausting for Carol, and she felt generally terrible. Not wanting to make Diana worry, Carol encouraged her to leave.

"You can leave now, Diana. You just took over the business. There must be a lot of work to do. Go!"

"No, I have to look after you," Diana protested.

Carol almost felt she couldn't bear the pain anymore. With a serious, angry look, she uttered, "I want to be alone. Please."

Feeling her anger, Diana stood up to go. It was true she had been away for a long time, and work was very busy. She looked at Carol and said softly, "Take care of yourself. I will be back tomorrow."

Carol had no strength to support herself anymore; she was just overwhelmed by the pain. She nodded silently.

Kyle was still waiting at the door with a cigarette in his hand. When he saw Diana walk out, he threw the cigarette to the floor.

"How is she?" he asked nervously.

Diana looked coldly at him. "So now you care for her?"

Diana had no idea why Carol had decided to give up the baby. But her instinct told her that Kyle hadn't been treating Carol well. Otherwise, she would never have chosen to give up her second baby and possibly the chance ever to be a mother.

Taking a deep breath, Diana said, "Kyle. I warned you last time. I even hit you! But it seems that it had no effect on you. Everything that has happened to Carol is your fault."

Having said her piece, Diana was about to leave when suddenly; Kyle pulled her into his arms in a passionate embrace.

"Diana, I love you!"

Diana was flabbergasted. She struggled to get out of his arms, but Kyle held her firmly. Diana used all her strength to take one step back and then kicked Kyle hard in the groin.

The pain was crippling, and Kyle dropped instantly to the floor.

Diana looked down at him in disgust. "Kyle, you are absolutely repulsive. I think you might be the worst person I have ever met. You don't deserve Carol."

With that, Diana walked away.

Kyle smiled bitterly. He had finally summoned the courage to admit his feelings. And in return, she told him he was repulsive. That was almost as excruciating as the pain from her kick.

Kyle went up to the bedroom, where he found Carol sleeping. He sat down beside the bed and just gazed at her pale figure. He reached out his hand and gently brushed her hair from her face. He couldn't tell what he was feeling right now. He was overwhelmed with guilt, knowing that he forced her to give up their baby.

When Kyle recalled this moment many days later, he realized he would never have another chance to start over with Carol, which he would always regret.

Kyle stayed with Carol for a while longer and then left.

After returning to the company, Diana was still upset about Carol. However, there were issues to confront at work; Anderson's pharmacy was not going as well as expected. Unfortunately, Diana acknowledged that it was probably due to their low profile.

With that in mind, she decided to approach Luna again.

So, she called Luna's assistant.

"Hello? Is that Luna's assistant?" Diana asked cautiously.

"Yes, may I have your name, please?"

"Diana Anderson. Do you remember me? We met before for the Anderson's pharmacy shoot."

Recalling what had happened, the assistant uttered with contempt, "I remember you. What do you want?"

"Well, I was hoping to make an appointment with Luna. I want to talk to her face to face."

The assistant answered impatiently, "I will ask her if she'd like to see you." Then she ended the call.

Listening vaguely to the conversation, Luna looked approvingly at her newly painted fingernails. "Who was that?"

"Diana Anderson. She said she wants to see you."

Without hesitation, Luna coolly replied, "No."

But then, seconds later, she changed her mind. "Wait! Why not? Is she begging to see me? I will see her."

The assistant asked again, "Really?"

Luna nodded. Of course, she would see her. She had already begun planning ways to humiliate her. Thinking of what was going to happen, Luna laughed out loud.

The assistant took out her phone and made the call. She let Diana know that Luna was graciously willing to meet and to be at a city-center restaurant for 6 pm that evening.

Diana was delighted that Luna had agreed to the meeting. Eager for things to go smoothly, Diana arrived at 5:30 pm.

Ever the diva, Luna didn't show up until gone half six. When she sat down at the table where Diana was waiting for her, Luna said, "The traffic was awful."

Diana smiled. "Yes, I understand. And you must be very busy with work."

Inside, Diana was sincerely embarrassed to be meeting Luna. But she had no other choice.

"Luna, I want to apologize to you for what happened before. Do you think we can rearrange our cooperation?"

Luna laughed out, "Jesus! Are you apologizing to me? You were rather tough last time…"

Diana forced herself to smile decently.

Luna rolled her eyes at Diana and gave her a devilish look.

"How about this? You get down on your knees and pray for my forgiveness. Then I will consider working with you again."

However, this was just too much for Diana to handle. She stood up and said angrily, "Luna, you know very well what went on last time. And I know it too. Why are you acting all innocent?"

Luna took her time to reply. Looking Diana directly in the eye, she sneered at her, "It seems you don't truly value our cooperation. I don't think there is any need to waste more time discussing this."

Getting up to leave, Luna didn't notice the waiter standing just behind her with a huge pot of boiling soup.

Without hesitation, Diana jumped up to try and prevent Luna from being hurt.

Surprised by Luna's presence at his back, the waiter lost his grip on the pot of soup, and the whole contents poured out onto Diana's arm.

The soup was scalding hot, and Diana's arm immediately turned bright red.

Luna knelt down to check on Diana. "Are you alright?"

Diana frowned from the pain. She just wanted to focus on staying calm.

The waiter ran to call an ambulance, as well as retrieve the burns kit from the kitchen.

The paramedics arrived and gave Diana some initial treatment, but she was sent to the hospital for further assistance.

Luna was sincerely worried about Diana. She followed the paramedics into the ambulance and went with them to the hospital.
