Just as the Epidural from my C-Section was wearing off, Julian Vance suddenly said to me: "The Sugar Baby I keep lost her cat, I have to go help her find it." I looked at the baby in the incubator, incredulous: "I risked half my life to give birth to your child, and now you are going to find a cat for another woman?" He adjusted his cufflinks, tone matter-of-fact: "The child has nurses and nannies watching, nothing will happen." "But that is the cat she raised for three years, it's her life." My wound hurt so much I gasped, tears bursting out: "Julian Vance, in your eyes, me and the child are not even as good as an animal?" "Don't change the concept." He impatiently looked at his watch, threw a Black Card on the bedside table: "She is sensitive, if I don't go she will do something stupid. You are Mrs. Vance, be sensible." "What if I don't let you go?" He seemed to hear a joke, leaned over and patted my face: "Then please leave with nothing. You know, I don't like disobedient women." That moment, my heart was colder than the wound. ... Chapter 1 Maybe the cold sweat after anesthesia soaked my hair, making me look too embarrassed. Julian chuckled low: "Serena, remember when you had malposition and were pushed into the operating room? When the doctor asked you to sign the critical notice yourself, I was in the ward next door, accompanying Lila for a checkup." "She cut her finger and insisted I blow on it to stop the pain. That feeling of being relied on is something you can never give, do you understand?" My blood seemed to flow backward, couldn't even feel the severe pain of the wound. That day, I lay on the gurney calling Julian's name non-stop, but the nurse told me family couldn't be found. When I called him, his tone was light, saying he finally signed a big deal. I was still blaming myself, wondering if I disturbed him. Julian leaned over to kiss away my tears: "Actually I was quite worried about you, but Lila is too timid, she dared not do the checkup alone, so I could only wrong you first." I stared dead at the light strip on the ceiling, eyes so sour they almost exploded. Julian seemed very satisfied with my reaction, took out a Black Card and stuffed it under the quilt corner. "Sorry Serena, I know this is unfair to you. But if you insist on divorce, for the face of the Vance family, I must take this newborn child away, and you, must leave with nothing." "But if you are willing to endure for the child, the position of Mrs. Vance is forever yours, and this card is yours to swipe." Today should have been the new start of our happy life. Just half an hour ago, the nurse praised the pure gold Silver Rattle Mr. Vance prepared for the child as exquisite. Now, I looked at the man who shared my bed for eight years like a joke. "Julian Vance, why tell me these? Why pick the time when I just walked back from the gate of hell?" Julian slowly wiped my sweat, eyes showing near perverted pity: "Because I love you. You are my first wife, hiding things from you feels like disloyalty to marriage." He paused, hooked a smile: "Of course, there is another reason. I really want to see your broken expression. Seeing you crying so fragile and helpless on the sickbed makes my heart ache, makes me want to compensate you more." "So, Serena, stop making trouble okay? I will still respect you as before, hmm?" I fiercely grabbed the water cup, Black Card... everything I could reach by the pillow, threw at him crazily: "Get out! Julian Vance, get out!" Julian just flicked the dust off his suit, turned and walked to the door. "Fine, still have strength to throw things, looks like won't die." "You calm down first. I have to go help that little crybaby find her cat." The ward door closed softly. I looked at the bloody mess on the floor, heart colder than the wound. Chapter 2 I locked myself in the ward, pulled out all needles and instruments. Used fingernails to dig fiercely at the unhealed wound, until consciousness gradually blurred. In boundless darkness, I returned to the time when I was kicked out of home for being with him. At that time Julian, to gather money for my surgery, worked three jobs in heavy rain. He knelt at the clinic door soaked through, smiling silly at me: "Serena don't fear, as long as I am here, the King of Hell can't take you away." Later we rented a moldy Basement Apartment, no heating in winter, he put my feet in his chest: "Serena, when I have money, I will carry you back to the Sterling family gloriously, no one can give you a look." Later, we supported each other, fulfilled promises... Open eyes again, woken by sister's call. "Sister! Julian Vance is crazy! How dare he openly bring the mistress to our home to provoke?" I tremblingly clicked open the photo. In the picture, Julian was tightly holding Lila's hand making a heart shape at my parents' door. Headline glaring: [Deeply Affectionate CEO with New Love, Old Love's Parents Send Blessings] Comment section exploded. I dialed his number with shaking hands to question. He was unusually cold: "Lila said she found clues about the cat near your home, I took her to look. Media loves to write nonsense, if you really can't stand it, call your family, let them clarify." I forced my body with stitches not removed, took a taxi to the hotel he located. In a trance, remembered when he first started business and became famous, real estate tycoon's only daughter and finance circle rich beauty publicly showed love to him. Whole New York circle betting which high branch Julian this poor boy would climb. But he bought all outdoor big screens in the city, only rolling one photo of me: "Serena is my only wife, never change in this life." After that day, everyone knew Julian was a "Wife Spoiling Maniac". Because of this, his public betrayal today appeared so absurd and ironic. Pushed open the door, saw mess all over the floor. Julian half kneeling by the sofa, carefully rubbing Lila's ankle. Hearing door open sound, he didn't turn head, low voice said: "Since you came, go pour a glass of warm water for Lila, she hasn't recovered from the shock just now." Lila slowly turned around, inadvertently revealing red marks on collarbone, stuck out tongue at me: "Sister sorry oh, I didn't expect Brother Julian would really leave you and the child for my cat. I also persuaded him, but he is too nervous about me, I also have no way." She blinked innocent big eyes, exclaimed: "Aiya, just now too rush, seem didn't use protection. Brother Julian dislikes wearing that most, but Sister rest assured, I will obediently take medicine, absolutely won't be like you, make a child to tie him." That instant, strong nausea rushed to top of head. I fiercely dry heaved. Julian almost subconsciously rushed over: "Serena? What's wrong? Is the wound open? I'll call driver send you to hospital immediately!" I used all strength, fiercely pushed away his hand. "Don't touch me! Julian Vance, you make me sick!" Julian stumbled a step, face sank, roared at Lila watching the show aside: "Still dazing for what? Get out!" Lila stunned by the roar, eye rims instantly red. Julian finally couldn't help it, quickly dropped a kiss on her forehead, lowered voice coaxing: "Good girl, listen go out first. Tonight I will still go accompany you, hmm?" Lila then broke tears into smile, handily threw empty condom box on coffee table, provocatively glanced at me. Julian turned around and changed to that concerned face again: "Serena, better?" "I understand your grievance, after all just gave birth emotion sensitive. So, if you want divorce, except child, I can talk anything." I pinched palm dead tight, until pain covered nausea. "Julian Vance, I won't divorce." I didn't know what I was insisting on. Maybe unwillingness for eight years of youth fed to dogs, maybe obsession that newborn child can't be without father. I grabbed fruit knife, against my neck threaten: "Julian Vance, you dare divorce, I dare die for you to see!" Julian finally panicked, swore to send Lila away, cut clean with her. Look, he still cares about me, right? As long as he cares, maybe everything can go back. Just I didn't expect, this temporary compromise, was just paving way for greater humiliation later. Chapter 3 One month later, day of child's full moon banquet, Julian and my biological sister's half-naked bed photo exploded hot search. Double betrayal of relative and lover like dull knife cut throat, I pointed at sister I loved since small, voice shaking: "He is your biological brother-in-law! How can you be so shameless!" Sister一脸 (face full) innocent hid behind Julian, red eye rims not speaking. Julian calmly took out a Paternity Test, crushed all my struggles: "Serena, don't use sister airs to press people. You are simply not Sterling family daughter." "What qualification you have to manage who your sister is with?" Overnight, I lost family, became laughing stock of whole city. And Julian suddenly announced: "Although Serena is just a wild seed of unknown origin, since married, I will be responsible for her to the end. No matter her status, I will still love her as always, protect her whole life." A round of thick-skinned defense, Julian not only lost infidelity hard injury, instead won "Infatuated Good Man" name. Just in shadow flash light couldn't reach, he gently leaned to my ear, Tone helpless and doting, like coaxing an unsensible child: "Serena, last time you threatened me, I was very unhappy. Today letting you lose family, is just a small lesson." He sighed, finger pulp stroking my face: "To reward you giving birth for me, I already endured a month not staying at Lila's place overnight, but men always need to breathe, you have to understand me." "I thought our eight years feeling, you would be more sensible, didn't expect you make it so ugly, I am a bit disappointed." "Next time dare threaten me again, don't regret." Next day, to thoroughly cut my thought, more to coax Lila happy. Julian forcefully took child from my arms. He said Lila's cat couldn't be found, wanted a child to replace. I knelt on ground begged him, I can want nothing, just beg don't touch my child. But coldly rejected by him: "Serena, Lila just wants freshness, what wrong giving child to her few days? You are Mrs. Vance, be generous." My spirit collapsed day by day, started insomnia whole night, even taking medicine could only hear child tear heart crack lung cry. Until some day, I took advantage nanny not notice, rushed to Lila's apartment. Pushed door open, only saw Lila busy posing for camera, and my child face held green purple, struggling alone. Even, she disgusted pushed child a bit: "Stop crying, annoying dead." I rushed over like crazy, pressed her on sofa beat, scratched her face full of blood. Julian arrived, to vent anger, also to substantiate my "Illness", turned head tied me to mental hospital. Three days closed treatment, endless darkness and abuse. Back home again, haven't touched door handle, heard inside face red ear red sounds. "Serena, you quiet outside a while, I finish soon." That instant, I suddenly found myself is the third party, Secretly took out hidden safety pin, time and time cut open wrist blood vessel. Wake again, Julian sat by bed, beard stubble a circle. See me open eyes, he fierce held my hand: "Serena, are you crazy? This bit matter worth dying?" "I admit this time I played too much fire, but I didn't think force you to death." "As long as you good good, don't toss yourself again, you want what I give all, okay?" Looking at his this look, I suddenly felt a bit trance. That boy who ran half city for me, that man who swore never let me drop a tear, how became this look now? We used to help each other like fish in dry water, those bitter days all survived, how people instead changed? I quietly looked at him, near ethereal asked: "Julian Vance, do you still have me in heart?" He stunned, immediately warm kisses dense fall: "Fool, say what nonsense?" "I later only love you one person." In that half month of hospitalization, we seemed to return to passionate love period. Everyday personal feed rice, wipe body for me, even pushed all social events accompany me walk in garden. But I knew, this was just calm before storm. Because less than three days after I discharged, he started not return all night again. Chapter 4 "Serena, you have what anger vent on me, don't difficult Lila." "This matter has no relation with her, is I can't let go her, is I death pester insist find her." Looking at vigilance and protection in Julian's eyes, I suddenly understood, Julian started serious. He couldn't give Lila status, then secretly transferred ten percent shares to her, beautiful name said years company compensation. Their "Together" three thousand days anniversary, set off fireworks whole night, that was starry sky exclusive for Lila. I stood before floor window, heart like hard raw torn open. I thought of many years ago, we squeezed in leaking basement, New Year he only afford a box five dollar fireworks. He stubbornly lit every one for me, voice choked: "Sorry Serena, let you suffer with me, even a decent firework can't afford." "But I swear, wait we have money later, I want let whole world best fireworks only bloom for you one person." That time a box fireworks, was his all to me. Now whole city fireworks, is his surprise to Lila. Turns out, he is not unromantic, he just doesn't want be romantic to me anymore. Truly crushed me was that so-called "Family Banquet". Julian originally wanted announce my "Recovered" news, result at table suddenly changed mouth, public announce Lila is his this life only salvation. Looking Lila wearing dress I hand picked stand beside him, looking their overlapped hands. I went crazy. I picked up crying child rushed up question: "Julian Vance! You treat her as salvation, then what is my eight years count?! Our child count what?!" Julian first time protected Lila in arms, immediately fierce pushed me a bit. "Bang". Me and child together fell from third floor. Wake again, Julian hands hold head, full face regret. Child gone. I some trance, probably even he couldn't watch down right. I thought of before those lives had to abort because career rising period. Doctor long said my uterine wall very thin, hard conceive later. Julian that time crying begged me: "No matter Serena, we don't want child, I only want you fine." Now, this hard come small life, finally still became sacrifice of our deformed marriage. Julian cried like helpless child: "Serena, sorry, really sorry..." But my heart already thoroughly died with that child. He didn't go accompany Lila, but Lila found herself. She stood at ward door, tears like broken line beads falling down. "Sister, sorry, I originally didn't want tell you this time..." "But, I am pregnant." String stretch to limit, finally broke. I grabbed water cup fierce smashed over: "Roll!" Julian almost instant blocked in front of Lila: "Is you yourself want hold child rush up, concern Lila what matter!" "You have what anger rush me come, don't touch her!" I like a soul-less puppet, let tears silent flow. Julian seemed realized something, wanted come hug me like before. Just one second before his fingertip touch me. I opened mouth: "I agree." His hand stiff in mid-air: "What?" "I said, I agree divorce."
