Although I managed to cover up the truth about my pregnancy, I ended up in a feeble state, lying frailly on the bed. Meanwhile, Lyle acted like a thoughtful husband in the doctor’s presence, but he left me without hesitation after answering a phone call. Lyle said he had to deal with some company matters and told me to get some rest. Nonetheless, judging from his worried expression as he talked over the phone, I knew instantly that it was a call from Bianca. With much difficulty, I got up and walked to the window. Soon, I saw Lyle hugging a lady at the hospital entrance as they left. Although she wasn’t Bianca, she seemed familiar to me, and I couldn’t help but recall some unpleasant memories. But that woman is still in Anglandur. How can she be here? I shook my head to dismiss those thoughts. Back then, Crystal had left the country resolutely. As such, it was quite unlikely that she would be willing to be a homewrecker, knowing that Lyle and I hadn’t divorced. Moreover, Bianca that b*tch was still pestering Lyle.

I stayed under the blanket and curled myself up, hoping to get some warmth. Nonetheless, my attempt was to no avail. Although it was summer, I felt cold as a shiver ran down my spine. I tried to get some sleep as the heavy rain pitter-pattered on the window. After quite some time, I felt a tinge of humidity

permeating in the air while I was half-asleep. As the coldness overwhelmed me, I shivered and pulled the blanket up to cover my body. Shortly afterward, I somehow felt a warm object that resembled a heater come up to me. I couldn’t help but wrap myself around it like an octopus. After heaving a sigh of satisfaction, I finally had a sound sleep. I dreamed that I was in a white hall, and Lyle was standing right in front of me. With a ring in his hand, he proposed to me solemnly. At that moment, tears began to roll down my face. Only when my neck started to prickle did I wake up from the dream. Assuming that there was a mosquito on my neck, I smacked it while my eyes remained shut. The next moment, I felt that something was off and immediately opened my eyes. Under the dim light, I saw Christopher applying some ointment on the bruises on my neck. There was a mixture of worry and guilt in his obsidian black eyes. Seeing that I had woken up, he applied the ointment gently and said, “Didn’t I ask you to call me at once whenever you are in trouble? Why did you hide it from me?” Although Christopher was reprimanding me, I couldn’t help but feel touched. I had a miscarriage due to Lyle’s mistress. However, the man who accompanied me wasn’t Lyle but someone with whom I had a one-night stand to retaliate against Lyle. “Why are you crying? I didn’t mean to growl at you. I was just irritated because you didn’t protect yourself.” He heaved a sigh

and wiped away my tears. The moment his fingers swept across my eyelashes, my tears rolled down even more. “If you keep crying, don’t blame me for being harsh to you. I’d love to see you cry when I get inside you!” Christopher suddenly made a crude joke, for he realized that his words had failed to comfort me earlier on. At that moment, I did not know how to react to his remark. On the one hand, I wanted to continue crying, but on the other hand, I felt that the lewd joke was surprisingly amusing. In the end, I chose to make him suffer with me by biting his arm. Instead of pushing me away, he let me bite him. After I released him, he suddenly took me into his arms and placed my hand on his sturdy chest, which sent a sense of warmth traveling through my heart and made me feel much better. Feeling touched, I expressed my gratitude to him. Since he was hugging me too tightly, I wriggled to switch to a more comfortable position. The next moment, my face darkened, for I realized that he was lying naked beside me. Moreover, he even put my hand in between his legs!
