“Heh.”Lorraine snorted with derision as she faced the gloomy, terrifying Jebediah.Jebediah picked up the blue packet and looked closely at the writing. His eyes turned even colder, as if he could turn the river by the road into ice.His voice was trembling as if a knife had been driven through his heart.“Even though I’ve wronged you, our child was innocent. You actually killed it… Lory… Why did you have to be so cruel?”“Cruel? He he he…”Lorraine laughed at the sight of Jebediah’s pained expression.However, her laughter only continued for a few seconds before coming to an abrupt stop. She stared at Jebediah as if she was looking at a clown.“Don’t be silly, Jebediah. I’ve told you so before. You don’t deserve to have me bear your child. I wanted to get rid of it the day I found out I was pregnant. Didn’t you notice that I bought the abortion pill ages ago?”Jebediah’s throat quivered. His dazzling, crystalline eyes turned as red as flames.Lorraine glared at him hatefull
Lorraine’s ward...By the time Charlotte arrived at the ward, Garrison was pacing anxiously outside her room.Jebediah sat on the ground with his back against the wall, looking up. His eyes were staring in a daze at the ceiling… Charlotte had never seen this gloomy, terrifying man so broken before…Garrison strode toward Charlotte when she arrived. Charlotte stopped and asked, “What happened, Garrison? How did Lorraine lose her baby?”Garrison sighed.“She didn’t want it and she used this as revenge against Jebediah.”‘Okay!’Based on the look on Jebediah’s face, Charlotte could pretty much conclude that.At that moment, Garrison’s melodious voice rang out again.“Carlie, Jebediah mentioned something to me before you arrived. I was shocked when I heard it. I never imagined that Lory would do all those things.”Charlotte chuckled.“Of course you wouldn’t. Lorraine is the wonderful little sister you’ve treasured from a young age. Who would believe that his own sister could be
“I said I don’t want to see anybody! Leave me alone!” Lorraine, who was sitting on her sickbed right now, shouted hysterically as she threw a cup at Charlotte.Charlotte hastily went out of the way, and the cup shattered after being smashed against the wall.At the same time, two nurses stood in front of Charlotte. “Ma’am, Ms. Larson is very unstable right now. She doesn't want to see anyone, so please leave.”Just as Charlotte was about to say something, Lorraine, who finally saw Charlotte’s face clearly, interrupted. “Don’t stop her. Let her come over here.” The two nurses looked at each other in surprise and then moved out of Charlotte’s way, just as they were told.“It's okay. You guys can wait outside. Don't come in until I ask you to. I have something to say to her.”“Okay, Ms. Larson. Remember to call us if you need anything.”The two nurses then exited the ward and closed the door.Charlotte walked up to the sickbed and looked down at Lorraine’s haggard face with her
It turned out that she had been holding a fruit knife in her right hand underneath the blanket. After she lifted the blanket, she mustered up all her strength and plunged the knife into Charlotte’s chest. “Pfft!”The sharp end of the fruit knife made contact with something soft.However, it was not Charlotte’s chest. Instead, it was the mattress. Charlotte knew something was wrong with Lorraine and she must be up to no good. Thus, she had kept her guard up around Lorraine, which was why she’d been able to dodge the strike in time. After Lorraine missed, her knife stabbed deep into the mattress. Lorraine had not expected that Fu Zhi would be able to evade her ambush with such practiced ease. She was slightly stunned but she refused to give up just like that. She pulled the knife out of the mattress and threw herself at Charlotte again. This time, Charlotte did not dodge the attack. Instead, she grabbed Lorraine’s wrist with deadly accuracy. Then, she twisted it down with all h
Charlotte did not say anything in return. She just continued to approach her with a grim expression. When she arrived in front of Lorraine, she grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and pulled it over. Lorraine was already very weak, and after experiencing psychological trauma and a miscarriage, she had become even weaker. There was nothing she could do, so she could only let Charlotte press her right wrist on the bed.Lorraine became even more nervous.“Charlotte, I know you’re very angry right now, but you must not let your emotions get the best of you. Four years ago, you used a knife to… Argh!”She let out a pained scream before she could even finish her sentence. This was because Charlotte had plunged the sharp fruit knife into her palm with all her might. The sharp end of the knife punctured her palm and stabbed deeply into the mattress.“Argh… My hand, my hand… It hurts!”Lorraine was in excruciating pain. She lay on the bed with her hand on her head as she howled.
“The reason Lory went astray is that she loves Zachary too much. Right now, she looks like she's been possessed by a demon. I'm not sure if she will do anything stupid in the future or not... Sigh!”Garrison placed both his hands on Charlotte’s shoulders as he looked at her and pleaded. “Carlie, I know it's a lot to ask, but can we treat Lory as a mental patient? If she does something stupid again in the future, can you promise me that you will try your best to forgive her? I believe that she will eventually come around to her senses sooner or later. Can you promise me that?”“But…”For a moment, Charlotte had the urge to tell Garrison okay. She knew that Garrison was the same as Zachary. Both of them were prideful and would never beg anyone if it were not absolutely necessary.Right now, Garrison was begging her.She knew that this brother, who loved his sister immensely, was too afraid that something might happen to his sister. That's why he acted like this. Besides, Garriso
“What?!” The corner of Charlotte’s lips quivered.“I understand that it would only be a matter of time before you filed for divorce from her, but she just had a miscarriage, and I just used a fruit knife to… Erm… Anyway, she’s in pretty bad shape right now, so don’t you think it’d be a little cruel if you divorced her at this moment?”Zachary replied, “As I said, I have completely cut ties with her. She's no different from a stranger in my eyes now, so why should I show mercy to someone I don't know?”Charlotte opened her mouth, and her eyes widened as she stared at him. For a moment, she could not say anything.“If you don’t want to miss a good show, then follow me.”After saying that, Zachary continued walking down the corridor.Initially, Charlotte wanted to leave the hospital, for she didn't want to stay with Lorraine for one more second!However, she was very interested in this and wanted to stay back and watch when Zachary said he was going to divorce Lorraine.Garrison w
Zachary’s clear yet cruel voice continued to speak. “I asked for a divorce the day Carlie revealed her real identity, but you refused. Now, all your lies have been laid bare. I believe that you can’t possibly drag it out, regardless of how little pride you may have. Right?”Lorraine stared at him with a withered expression, crystalline tears drenching her face.That’s right! When Charlotte and Jebediah had collaborated to expose her, she had known that it was useless to drag it out with Zachary, no matter how much she tried…She knew that Zachary would ask for a divorce again.In the past, even after Zachary had discovered Charlotte’s real identity, he had been a little kinder to her on account of the fact that she had saved his life. Now, he had discovered everything she had done. She had no place in Zachary’s heart, so now that Zachary had asked for a divorce again, if she continued to drag her feet, he would make her suffer as if she were his enemy!“Since you’re not saying any
