To save Leon, Lila pleads desperately. Xavier initially intends to humiliate her but ultimately softens. However, the stress triggers premature labor, and Sean rushes her to the hospital, with Xavier secretly following. At the hospital, Lila encounters Xavier and his fiancée, Fang Mia, leading to a tense confrontation. The doctor accidentally reveals Lila’s pregnancy, and she claims the baby is Sean’s. Enraged, Xavier leaves—only to later propose to her again, despite their unresolved conflict. Heartbroken, Lila cruelly rejects him once more.

Xavier, alarmed, rushes her to the hospital, where her doctor friend Dr. Hannah —Sean’s wife—nearly reveals the truth but is stopped by Lila. Suspicious, Xavier investigates and discovers Hannah is married to Sean. Assuming Lila is being deceived, he confronts Sean, demanding he break up with her. When Lila witnesses this, she intervenes, driving Xavier away with harsh words. As Xavier and Mia’s wedding approaches, Mia cruelly strips Lila of her last hope for survival. On their wedding day, Lila goes into labor but the baby is born with thalassemia, requiring an urgent bone marrow transplant.
