Chapter 9

Victoria came to stay with me when she heard we were getting a divorce.

She made me soup and took care of me.

At first, she was furious on my behalf, saying she would help me expose that wretched pair.

Her anger only subsided after I told her Ben's secret.

After we signed the papers, Ben wasted no time in buying another villa and moving in with the pregnant girl.

The divorce wouldn't be final for another month.

Obviously, he just couldn't wait.

Once I had recovered my strength, I went to the hospital to stop the hormone treatments.

Doing something so foolish for Ben had taken a real toll on my body.

Now, I refused to continue paying that price for him.

The doctor asked me, "Are you preparing to have a baby?"

I just gave a bitter smile and said nothing.

The treatment went smoothly, but I could still feel a fine, sharp pain.

It was as if a piece of my heart had been forcibly carved out.

A cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
