The moment we entered,Athena went back to normal.She looked at me with sarcasm and laughed.
“Savannah,aren’t you very skilled?Why do you still have to come take care of me now?”
“You say you are some famous doctor.As long as Marcus speaks,you are the dog under my shoes!”
“Do you feel helpless now?Don’t worry,there are many more things later that will make you helpless.Guess whose wedding ring is below me,and who placed it in?”
No matter how Athena tried to anger me,I pressed my teeth hard and did not answer.
I quietly asked the anesthetist to give the anesthesia.
Once the drug worked,the talkative Athena turned quiet right away.
I looked at the ring resting in my palm,my hand shaking on its own.
Although I already knew that the ring belonged to Marcus,the second I saw it clearly,the pain still pressed on me until I could not breathe.
How could Marcus use such a way to insult me!
The bright diamond ring still sparkled,just like the promises Marcus had made before.
When Marcus gave me that ring,he had once said that the ring was the sign of his loyalty,that he never betray me.
But now,that so-called sign of faithfulness had gone into another woman’s lower body!
Heavy pain rose from my heart to my throat,making me feel sick and want to vomit.
On the hospital bed,Athena showed a faint smile.
At that moment,it felt as if all the hatred in the world was toward me.
Those once sweet memories with Marcus were like this ring,marked with dirt that could not be cleaned away.
I forced myself to finish the surgery with one breath and ran to the restroom.
I kept throwing up dry,tears streaming down my face,my whole self in a sorry state.
I wanted to yell,to cry out,to smash everything before me.
Just then,I heard high heels knocking against the floor.
Athena saw how miserable I looked and started laughing.
“I warned you before that you would feel more pain.Can’t you even take this?Then if one day you watch Marcus and me sleep together,won’t you hang yourself?”
Athena’s voice sounded mocking.
Strong pain and deep disgust spread through my whole body.
When I thought about what Marcus and Athena had been doing before they came to the hospital,I wanted to rip them all apart.
“Athena,why are you doing this?”
I bit down hard and stared at her.
Athena seemed to remember something.Her expression became tight as she shouted,“You should stay under my feet for your whole life.Why is it that the Marcus you married is the head of the Guerrero Corporation,while the husband I married was frail and passed away so early!”
Her eyes were full of jealousy and anger when she looked at me,the same as in the past.
The shadow and hurt from being bullied hit my heart in an instant,and my body turned hard and could not move.
The baby in my belly kept moving,one time after another,and I quickly held my stomach.
Once Athena noticed me shielding my belly,she became more worked up,lifted her high heel,and aimed a kick at my stomach.
“Savannah,I let you remember what happened back then.”
“Protecting your belly like that.Could you be pregnant with an unwanted child?Marcus will not love this baby anyway.How about I help you get rid of it?After all,you only deserve what I don’t want!”
After saying that,her eyes turned harsh as she put in all her strength.
I widened my eyes and,with the need to keep my baby safe,awkwardly threw myself to the side to avoid her.
Athena then lost her balance and dropped heavily to the floor.
Watching her lying there with limbs up and sobbing,I felt a bit of relief.
“Athena,this baby belongs to me.Even Marcus cannot make that choice.What are you?”
I was not the same person as before.I now had the power to guard myself and my child.
With this thought,I did not wish to watch this scene any longer.I struggled to my feet and planned to walk away.
Suddenly,Marcus’s voice shouted from the doorway.
“Athena,where are you?”
When Athena heard him,her eyes changed.She fell to the floor,struck herself hard,and cried out in a loud voice.
“Marcus,come and save me.Savannah wants to kill me!”
