Chapter 4

Author: Pancakes and Eggs
I pretended not to have heard him.

“You can’t pretend everything the media says is a lie, you know,” I said.

There was a flicker of hesitancy in Samuel’s face, but he said nothing.

I stared at him stubbornly.

Once, I went with him to a dinner party, and the media took pictures of us, so he admitted that we were married.

But on the day of the concert, he had said those words in public and had shown me no respect at all.

The newspapers were saying that Mia was a homewrecker, and Samuel looked down on my family because my brother and I had only had each other to rely on for survival.

Samuel’s company had not responded to those articles.

This was why he had not gone to the courthouse. He was protecting Mia.

I could no longer keep my cool and cried.

Samuel pinched the center of his brows in frustration.

“This isn’t the time for us to get a divorce. You saw the news. Mia can’t be called a homewrecker!”

“But she is!” I cried out hoarsely.

Samuel glared at me.

  • I Wouldn't Choose You, Either   Chapter 10

    News reporters surrounded me as I tried to leave the hospital after getting my arm bandaged.“Mrs. Gardner, how does it feel to have your husband’s mistress attack you?”“Is it true that your brother became a test subject and received the first vaccine for leukemia?”I looked at the cameras and smiled. “I don’t know why the ‘mistress’ came to me, but Samuel Gardner did visit me,” I said meaningfully. “Cole was a test subject for the leukemia vaccine.”When the reporters heard this, they berated her with another string of questions. “You’re already married to Mr. Gardner, so why did you take the risk and let your brother become a test subject?”I continued smiling. “Because Samuel asked me for a divorce. It was the only thing I could do for Cole’s health.”The reporters burst into an uproar at that. I did not know what they were going to write in their articles, nor did I care. At night, I received a call from the police station. The police told me that they had arrested

  • I Wouldn't Choose You, Either   Chapter 9

    I knew that Samuel had been looking for me all this while, but the medical team had locked down all information regarding Cole and my whereabouts for security purposes.When we left the country, the medical team had even sent a private plane over to get us. “Can’t you forgive me, dear?”The question made my heart ache. While we were together, Samuel was always aloof. I had used many words of endearment to address him, but he only ever called me by my name. Later, I could not take it anymore and argued about it with him. After that, Samuel had used a term of endearment but only reluctantly.Yet, he was calling me “dear” so easily at present. That meant that he could have done so in the past as well, but he was just unwilling to do so. Still, love that came too late was of no use. “I can explain. What I said during the concert wasn’t what I meant. I couldn’t explain myself clearly that time. “I never regretted being together with you. I just—”“You just didn’t know how

  • I Wouldn't Choose You, Either   Chapter 8

    As a test subject of the clinical trial, Cole was at the center of it all.Samuel would surely see that and find out where we were. But that did not matter anymore. What was important was Cole’s health. I rented a two-bedroom apartment with the money the director had paid us and moved in. Neither Cole nor I had much luggage. We went overseas with nothing much and returned with nothing much as well.If I had to be exact, I did bring back something. I brought back a healthy Cole.At exactly 12:00 p.m. UTC, the vaccine was revealed to the public. Once the media found out that Cole was the test subject, they started digging around for more information on him. I had not expected that the first person to find us would be Samuel. When I came back home from buying some groceries with Cole at night, I found Samuel standing in front of the door. I instinctively stopped. Cole noticed my reaction and looked around in confusion to find out what was wrong.The moment he saw the per

  • I Wouldn't Choose You, Either   Chapter 7

    Mia ran away crying when she saw this, but Samuel did not care. All he wanted to know was Dawn’s whereabouts. …At that moment, I met up with the medical team abroad and followed them to their hospital. “Miss Wilson, are you sure you want to allow your brother to be a test subject?” the director asked as confirmation. “You don’t have to answer it in a hurry. I’d like to lay out the pros and cons of this vaccine once more.“We only managed to develop this vaccine after five years of research. It has an 80% chance of curing leukemia in patients.“But that also means that it has a 20% chance of failing. If it fails, the patient’s condition might worsen. They might even die.”I felt uncertain again when I heard that. In the past, Cole and I only had each other. This time, in what was practically an impulsive decision, I had brought him overseas. Was I being selfish?Cole suddenly walked in. He wore a mask that looked too big on him, even though it was normal-sized. “I want

    It documented the life they had together after they were married. [Samuel took me out for steak today. It was tasty, but I didn’t know how to eat steak as I had never had one before. Luckily, Samuel didn’t look down on me. With his help, I learned how to cut them!]When Samuel saw those words, he recalled the events of that night. That was their first date, and he had taken matters into his own hands by booking the restaurant. But Dawn did not know how to eat steak. When he saw her sitting uneasily across from him, he finally realized something was off. So, he taught her how to cut up her steak and exchanged his plate for hers after he cut everything up for her. At that time, Dawn had blushed as she looked at him. “Thank you,” she had said softly. Samuel proposed to her that night, and Dawn agreed to it without even thinking twice.After that, she assumed he might think that she had said yes only because of his money, so she hurriedly said, “I don’t want your money. I l

    “Is it Dawn?” Mia snapped impatiently. She grumbled, “Didn’t you say that you already spoke to her? Why is she still pestering you?”Samuel ignored her and answered the call. “What is it?”“Mr. Gardner, please go online!”When Mia heard the voice, she could immediately tell that it was Jack.She chuckled awkwardly, since she had expected it to be Dawn who was interrupting their date.Samuel quickly logged in to Twitter to check the trending tags, and he saw the marriage certificate, along with the tag #SamuelGardnerwasmarried.For some reason, he did not seem to feel angry. Instead, he felt relieved.Mia saw every bit of Samuel’s reaction, and she bit down on her lip as she looked at him indignantly. “Where’s Dawn? Tell her to delete the post.” When he spoke next, Samuel’s voice had regained its usual aloofness. “I couldn’t contact her, that’s why I had to call you.”Samuel panicked, and he instinctively raised his voice. “What do you mean you can’t contact her?”“She won’
