Blood on the third wish novel

Chapter 3 The siren clan flourished for thousands of years, leaving behind countless secret treasures. Arthur's mother had tried to ask me for them several times, but I refused her on every occasion. She held a grudge against me for this, bent on protecting Emily and driving me out of the Hudsons. I allowed her to take the Bloodstone Heirloom. Little did she know, the heirloom treasures of the siren clan can only be worn by descendants of the clan. If an outsider wears it, they will only suffer a backlash, plagued by misfortune and destined for an early grave!

Emily finally emerged safely from the delivery room. She smiled weakly at me. "Sarah, even though you refused to save us, I promised Arthur that once the baby's first-month celebration is over, I will move out of the Hudson manor. This child... is yours." She and Arthur were childhood sweethearts. Before the Hudsons' fall, both families had entertained the idea of a union. But when the Hudsons went bankrupt overnight, Emily used the pretext of furthering her studies to flee the country, abandoning Arthur without a second thought.

Later, when Arthur clawed his way back to the top as the hottest new tycoon in Kinston, the opposite fate befell the Thornes. A catastrophic decision by Emily's father led to their bankruptcy. Emily scurried back home, pleading all the way to Arthur's doorstep. At first, Arthur showed her nothing but contempt, even revulsion. He forbade her from getting close, hurling insults at her repeatedly. Everyone in Kinston knew Mr. Hudson despised Emily Thorne the most. But gradually, something shifted. Arthur continued to humiliate Emily in public and in private.

Yet every time she ran off in tears, he would find himself staring after her retreating figure, lost in thought. Watching Emily's tears fall, the emotion in Arthur's eyes gradually shifted. No longer disgust, but a growing ache of pity. I saw it all, yet felt powerless to intervene. Then came a fateful banquet where Arthur, drunk, ended up entangled with Emily. The room reeked of sex and debauchery, a nauseating mix. When I confronted him, Arthur shielded Emily firmly behind him. "It was a mistake. Emily is innocent." 0.00% 12:38 I brought up divorce, but Arthur wouldn't agree.

He blamed it all on an accident, kneeling before me and swearing there wouldn't be a next time. In a moment of lovesick folly, I forgave him. But later, Emily showed up at our door, her belly swollen, claiming to carry Arthur's child. She insisted she didn't want to break up our family, only to bear him a child as atonement. "Arthur, my feelings for you are genuine. Having your child... even if I get nothing else, I'm willing." Emily's quiet sobs pulled me back to the present. Gazing at the bundle in her arms, her eyes suddenly reddened, her voice choked. "But...

I can't bear to part with my baby...' The grip on my wrist tightened. Guilt flashed in Arthur's eyes. "Emily, you're his birth mother. The bond of blood can't be severed..." "What about Sarah..." I seemed not to hear them, my eyes fixed blankly on the swaddled infant. After a long moment, I couldn't help but burst into wild, bitter laughter. Though my magical essence was gone, the innate gifts of the siren clan remained. Through the Sight, I could clearly see that the child before me had absolutely no blood relation to Arthur. How utterly laughable.

Arthur, who prided himself on his shrewdness, had been completely duped. The child Emily carried for ten months... wasn't even his. But Arthur didn't know. He stayed silent for a long moment, then suddenly grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the room. "Sarah, you're my wife. I can give you status and position, but Emily has nothing. She asks for nothing, just a tiny bit of my love." "Six years ago, to repay my debt to you, I was cruel enough to leave her and marry you. This time, I absolutely cannot fail her again!" "Sarah, you have so much of my love already.

Just be a little generous to her, okay?" My tears had long since dried up. I looked at him numbly, unable to say a word. Perhaps I looked too desperate, because Arthur softened his voice to comfort me. "I promise, even if Emily stays, you will still be the only Mrs. Hudson. The only one I love is you." He wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his head on my shoulder. "Sarah, I love you." With my back to him, I closed my eyes in exhaustion. It was no use.
