A strong disinfectant smell suddenly woke me up.
The doctor stayed beside my hospital bed and quietly shook his head.
“Miss Hamilton, the child couldn’t be saved. The earlier car accident already left complications behind, and this time, you arrived too late. Your uterus suffered serious damage, so you might never become pregnant again.”
I blankly lay on the hospital bed while tears slowly covered my eyes.
The doctor continued saying comforting words near me, but I couldn’t hear them anymore.
This was the second baby, Heath, that we lost, and it was also the final one.
Three years earlier, after learning he was cheating, he jumped from a building to pressure me into divorce, and the shock caused me to miscarry immediately.
I waited three years for this child to arrive, but before I could even feel its warmth, it left again.
“Kira, I hope our future child is as sweet and kind as you.”
“Once we have a child, there’ll be one more person in this world for me to love.”
At twenty-two, those words stayed deeply in my mind, but now he once again destroyed our child with his own hands.
My hand slowly touched my flat stomach, as if the child was still there.
Heath, I’ll definitely make you suffer the consequences!
After the doctor walked out, I called Cindy.
“The investment contract I asked you to prepare before isn’t needed anymore.”
“And I want to pull back the investment and take back every asset from Heath’s company! I want him to be left with nothing. He has to pay for this!”
Night slowly arrived.
Heath walked into my hospital room and let out a cold laugh.
“Kira, you really treat the hospital like your own house, coming here whenever you want.”
I turned my face away and ignored him.
He came over to my bedside, handed me a paper and pen, and coldly spoke.
“This situation caused a huge problem for Aurelia. It already seriously affected both her life and her family’s life.”
“You’ll personally write an apology letter, saying you were paranoid and schizophrenic, purposely spreading lies about innocent people. You’ll also say you’re willing to pay all mental damage compensation and personally apologize to her.”
After hearing that, I stared at him in shock, anger rising inside me.
“Heath, is something wrong with your head? Why should I apologize for something I never did?”
Heath pushed down on my shoulders and softly replied.
“At this stage, why are you still pretending to be innocent? In all of Avondale, I can’t find a second person who wants her dead as badly as you do.”
I laughed loudly, my voice carrying sarcasm.
“Could she be putting on a show by herself?”
He laughed too.
“Not everybody likes acting and pretending the way you do.”
“Kira, after you follow what I said, I’ll take you to Iceland right away and finally keep the promise I owe you.”
It sounded so believable that if I didn’t have Aurelia’s WhatsApp, I might’ve truly trusted him.
Three days ago, she was still showing off on Instagram:
“My health’s been bad recently, but someone already arranged an Iceland vacation for me. Who wants free plane tickets and hotel stays?”
The things she threw away had somehow become a gift for me.
Seven years passed. The honeymoon we missed before because of work, and later after our love disappeared, was now going to happen like this.
“No, Heath. I didn’t do anything wrong, and there’s no way I’ll apologize.”
“I, Kira, take responsibility for the things I do. If I didn’t do it, then I didn’t do it!”
His brows tightened as he suddenly threw the paper at my face, the sharp edge cutting my cheek.
The door slammed shut hard.
A message suddenly appeared on my phone.
“Miss Hamilton, your immigration process has been completed. Welcome to England. We look forward to your return to Avondale again!”
I slowly breathed out. Everything should finally be over now.
After I finished packing my luggage, an urgent call suddenly came in.
