After Finding Out My Identity, He Regretted the Divorce

That day, I ate a cake and accidentally swallowed the diamond that my husband, Andrew Jones was about to give to his first love. In his fury, he sent me to the hospital, directly to the operation table to get it out of my body.

Some thief had stolen the diamond from his first love, Olivia, when she was abroad. So, they had been looking for it all over the place. When there was news that it emerged in an auction, Andrew flew personally to retrieve it back. After all, it was the token of their love; Andrew’s gift for her seventeenth birthday.

He knew that Olivia treasured it greatly and she was quite depressed when it was stolen some months back. He was planning to give her a surprise, but I accidentally swallowed it instead.

“You shouldn’t take what is not yours, Lily.”

Those were his last words before he dragged me to the hospital and sent me to the operation room, making sure that I wouldn’t escape.

He didn’t even let me explain what had happened. However, it then dawned on me that even if I explained, he wouldn’t believe me.

Andrew would believe his first love over me. He only married me because my soft and soothing voice reminded him of her, wasn’t it?

He had never loved me. I would never forget that cold gaze which hid silent anger as his sharp eyes looked at me.

I realized that I had nearly forgotten my place. I was only a substitute for him, someone whose voice was similar to his beloved woman. His affections were false and he must have been imagining me as Olivia, but I still couldn’t help my own feelings.

“Have you taken it out?” He didn’t even spare a glance at me as he entered the operating room.

The doctor handed him something that he had carefully taken from my body, with such a cautious attitude as if afraid it would break.

Andrew took the diamond from the doctor and then walked out of the door. What happened today has refreshed my new understanding of him.

I nearly passed out from the pain.

“Do you want to drink something, Ma’am?” The doctor asked, his face painted with a look of guilt.

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. Before I could respond to his question, darkness swallowed my vision. As my consciousness was fading away, I could still hear the faint voice of the doctor that kept on apologizing.

“I am sorry, Ma’am. I am really sorry…”

I could understand where he was coming from, but I still hated him a bit. I hated that he had taken part in bringing me so much pain.

In order to teach me a lesson, Andrew ordered the doctors who performed my operation not to give me anesthetic. The entire time during that operation, I was conscious. The pain felt like my soul was being forcefully pulled out of my body.

Of course, Andrew would get away by doing something like that. The hospital was owned privately by the Jones family, and they would surely cover up what had transpired here.

When I woke up again, none was by my side.

However, after Olivia’s return, I knew that the fake love show had ended. The affections Andrew previously had given to me were now only directed to Olivia. Even the side of him I hadn’t known before.

He had always been a mature person, but I found out that as long as Olivia was there, he could also turn into a childish man.

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, the door abruptly opened. Kevin Jonas, Andrew’s younger brother, walked in with an arrogant expression.

“Your phone.” He threw the phone to me and I slightly panicked.

I tried to catch it, and the pain from a sudden movement nearly made me pass out again. In the end, luckily I could catch the phone.

Kevin raised his eyebrows. “As expected from someone who comes from a lowly background. She even treasures a cheap phone so much.”

I ignored his words and clasped the phone to my chest, trying to calm my beating heart.

“Am I very kind? I know that you will be very bored to stay alone in this hospital.” He tilted his head with a mocking smile. “While my brother will be enjoying spending his time with Olivia.”

I still didn’t react to his words, not willing to give him the satisfaction of any response he could get from me.

Kevin was channeling his frustration through his attempt to rile me up.

Ever since I got married to Andrew, he has always been taunting me, disdaining my poor background in secret. Outwardly, he would try to flatter me.

He was also the one who had helped Olivia to scheme against me. Kevin was one reason I had suffered so much pain, just for a very ridiculous reason, like a small diamond.

“Even if you glare at me, it won’t change your fate.” He sneered and then chuckled at me.

They had put the diamond in the wrong cake. The chef at home was also in cahoots with them. Olivia already knew that Andrew was about to give a diamond to her and Kevin was the one told to handle the matter.

The diamond should have been put in a box, but they directly put it in the cake that was meant for me. It was hard to notice such a small object when it was already mixed inside the ingredients. As such, I accidentally swallowed it.

When the incident reached Andrew’s ears, it had provoked him into so much rage. Kevin had twisted the story. The narrative accused me of being jealous that Olivia was going to receive such an expensive diamond, and I was trying to sabotage it.
