When Wally Norris's stepsister lit a cigarette yet again in front of Felicia Norris, who was eight months pregnant, Felicia finally threw her out. Two hours later, Wally, who had been away on a business trip abroad, arrived at the villa with a group of heavy smokers. Felicia sat quietly on the sofa, a medical report clutched in her hand. "Emma has been hospitalized from stress," he said lightly, "You have to get used to the smell of smoke. If you stay around it more, she won't be afraid of being driven out again. You'll get used to it." Felicia's curled fingers tightened around the paper before she laid the report on the table. "My asthma has relapsed, and the baby is already showing signs of oxygen deprivation," she said, "And you still want her to stay here?" Jiang glanced at the report, then looked away the very next second. He replied, "Emma saved us once. We owe her. We have to repay that debt." At that moment, something inside Felicia finally snapped. "Repay her?" She lifted her reddened eyes to meet his, her voice trembling. "Haven't I given enough already? Do I have to hand over my life as well before it's enough?" Jiang reached out and stroked her cheek. "Felicia, once the debt is repaid, I'll send her away. Just endure it a little longer this time."
