My head tilted to one side after being hit and before I could react, Amanda suddenly raised my hand, threw it on her own face and fell softly to the ground. She covered her face with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful and she was completely different from the second before.
"Louisa, I don't think your photos are bad. I just want you to take two photos for me from a different angle. If you don't want to, forget it..." she sobbed.
Jacob, who had just opened the door, dropped the cup in his hand. He rushed over and pushed me away, squatting down to anxiously check Amanda's condition.
"Jacob, I'm fine. Don't blame Louisa. She didn't do it on purpose. I didn't stand firmly."
Jacob squinted his eyebrows and said, "Amanda, you are just too kind. You don't have to defend her. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Jacob carefully helped Amanda up, his movements were as gentle as treating a porcelain doll. He hugged Amanda in his arms and looked at me with anger. This was the first time he had been so angry in the five years since I married him.
"Louisa, apologize to Amanda! I have spoiled you too much in the past five years and I have spoiled you into a vicious woman! You know how important face is to Amanda!" Jacob said as he looked at me angrily, but he didn't seem to see the redness and swelling on my face.
I looked up at him calmly, "Amanda should apologize, not me. She mentioned my father. Jacob, don't you have anything to apologize for what happened to my father?"
Jacob's eyes flashed with surprise. "If I hadn't been there, Dad would have gone earlier. Louisa, I promised Dad that I would take care of you for the rest of your life, but the premise is that you won't hurt Amanda."
I pulled a self-deprecating smile from the corner of my mouth. I shouldn't have any expectations of him anymore.
Suddenly, my eyes went dark and I fell backwards without consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, the smell of disinfectant filled my nose and the nurse was removing the needle for me. "Congratulations on your pregnancy. You are weak and must pay attention to your emotions and eat well." Said the nurse.
I subconsciously stroked my lower abdomen. I had been wanting to have a child with Jacob for the past five years. I didn't expect him to come at this moment.
Suddenly my phone buzzed and it was a message from Jacob. [The doctor said that you will be fine as long as you rest more. When you apologize to Amanda, I will take you home.]
I smiled weakly and turned off the phone.
"Miss Lovato, the doctor has arranged a checkup. Please come with me."
I followed the nurse to the stairwell.
I was feeling strange when Amanda's familiar voice sounded behind me. "I heard you are pregnant? I underestimated you, Louisa, do you know why you haven't had a child in the past five years?"
I turned and met Amanda's proud eyes as she said, "Because I told Jacob that I don't want you to have a child. The vitamins he feeds you every day are actually contraceptives."
Amanda tilted her head to look at my expression, trying to see pain and despair on my face.
But I just said lightly, "I know."
After that, I brushed past her and just as I was about to open the door, a force came from behind. I was pushed down the stairs unexpectedly. My whole body was in excruciating pain and I tilted my head weakly to see a bloodstain under my lower abdomen.
I had a miscarriage.
I put the divorce agreement on the bed after coming out of the operating room. I walked out of the hospital and got on a taxi to the airport.
A second before boarding, Jacob's message appeared on the phone screen.
[Louisa, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn that you dared to cause trouble for Amanda. Be obedient and apologize, don't force me.]
[Apologize to her? Never!] I pulled out the SIM card and threw it into the airport trash can and I got on the plane.
