I bumped my stomach on the stairs. The heart-wrenching pain hit my entire body and it made me want to wish I was dead. When we finally landed on the bottom of the stairs, Rachelle fell completely on my body and pressed her elbow heavily on my stomach. I screamed as I felt my lower abdomen constrict, then I felt a warm gush of fluid between my legs. I was fighting unconsciousness when I seemed to have heard Xavier\'s voice call my name. I lay down in a pool of blood with my hands on the ground. I instinctively flinched, “Don\'t save me, I don\'t want to see a doctor. I don\'t want to have children even if I die.” “Yasmin, don\'t be selfish,” Xavier said as he hugged me. Gritting his teeth, he screamed, “I’m telling you, if you die, then your parents and grandmother won\'t be able to survive!” Even when I was dying, he still had the guts to threaten me and make me feel guilty. “I can’t take it anymore…” I closed my eyes wea
I have never been as horrified as I was now. The bloody knife in my hand was like a deadly poison seeping through my skin. Xavier\'s eyes widened in astonishment, his handsome face stricken with disbelief, “Yasmin, you…” “It’s not me. It\'s really not me…” I suddenly let go and the fruit knife fell to the ground with a thud. I kept shaking my blood-soaked hands and said defensively, “It\'s her. She did this to herself. She held my hand and stabbed herself, she…” “How do you expect me to trust you?” Xavier looked at me like I was a madman. His face was full of distress, “Rachelle just said that taking the child away was too cruel and asked me to return the child to you, and you stabbed her in return? How can I trust you?” I was dumbfounded. I turned my head abruptly and glared angrily at this double-faced wench, “Bitch, what do you want from me? Haven’t you hurt me enough?” “I\'m lying down here, what could I have possibly
I regained consciousness and found myself in a hospital ward. I was wrapped in a hospital gown and my whole body was aching. It felt like I had just been ran over with a wheel. I moved and struggled to get up, but suddenly, I heard a man\'s voice, “Miss, are you awake?” I raised my eyes in a daze and saw this strange man smiling apologetically at me. “Miss, it was my car that hit you, I…” he stammered. I was stunned and the memory before the accident came flooding through my mind. Rachelle forced me to stab her and Xavier threatened to send me to jail after. In a hurry, I then escaped the hospital dehydrated and famished. As I was walking, I felt really dizzy and was probably hit by the car then... At that moment, when I thought I was dying and was falling unconscious, I remembered seeing Xavier faintly, he was waving at me with our baby in his arms. But seeing that he wasn’t here, I must have been delirious. He
“Rachelle, be honest with me. The doctor said that your infertility was not caused by your miscarriage but that you had a lot of abortions before which made your uterine wall so thin that it can’t hold a baby anymore. What’s going on?” Xavier fumed in a fiercely interrogative tone. The hands that were on my knees tightly clenched into fists. I knew I have amnesia now and I should pretend to be calm, but when I heard this revelation, I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter. Was this the woman he was so in love with? A woman who had too many abortions with a thin uterine wall, a woman who cheated on him? Memories of the past came rushing to me, all the begging I did and the hardships. I wanted to laugh but at the same time I also felt like crying. He didn\'t see her true colors until I left him. Now, he began doubting her. Would Xavier finally realize that I was telling the truth the entire time? My heart was pounding but I remained
The moment I heard his voice, I was terrified. I instinctively lowered my head in horror but it was too late. He quickly walked toward me, surprise evident in his eyes. Before I could make my escape, he suddenly grabbed me and pulled me into his arms. “Were you the one by the lake just now?” he asked distastefully. “Yasmin, you really are something else. Looks like you’ve already found yourself a new man.” His sarcasm was obvious, yet I couldn\'t help but smile, “Yes, it was me. I just heard your humiliating confrontation with Rachelle.” Xavier flushed red in embarrassment and pinched my chin in a cold tone, “You’re very proud, aren’t you? Yasmin, seeing me like this makes you happy, huh?” “I have told you countless of times about that woman’s true colors! You refused to believe me, and you let her play around with the both of us. Now, tell me, why shouldn’t I be proud?” I snapped at him. I raised my eyes to Xavi
I thought I could really stop my heart from loving who it wants, but as I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling above my head in a daze, I realized that I couldn\'t. The confrontation with Xavier earlier has exhausted all my energy. I was all alone and lonely, yet I desperately couldn’t stop thinking about him. It’s just been less than a year since Rachelle’s return, but it felt like a lifetime. It has made me, a twenty-five-year-old young woman, look like an old lady. I was lost in a trance of thought until Timothy arrived. His expression was stern, as if he had been greatly wronged. “What\'s the matter?” I asked, confused. Timothy let out an exasperated sigh and hesitated. He gathered his courage explained softly, “Because of what happened, Mr. Jin said he changed his mind about the project. I know I promised to buy you an apartment, but I’m afraid won’t be able to do it.” My brows furrowed quickly and
I was completely dumbfounded. What was Rachelle implying? That Xavier has affection for me? Oh, that’s ridiculous. Ever since we got married, he has never once shown me mercy. “That’s not the issue here! For me, Yasmin is the child\'s biological mother, that’s all!” Xavier stated in a matter-of-fact tone. The expression in Rachelle\'s eyes refused to calm down. “Rachelle, we have been in love for so many years, why won’t you tell me the truth?” The words biological mother completely shattered my illusion. It turned out that the affection Rachelle thought was just a mistake. I was nothing but the birth mother of his child. I froze in disbelief. “What will you do when I tell you the truth, Xavier? You claim to love me, but you suddenly can’t do it now unless you’re told the truth? Do you really have to know how many times I’ve given birth to others? Xavier, isn’t love about tolerating one another?” Rachell
“What are you talking about?” Xavier\'s eyes widened in shock. He grabbed my shoulder, and asked, “Where are you going to take my child? Are you going to be with your other man? Yasmin, I’m warning you, don’t you dare.” “What do you want me to do then? Be with you instead?” I raised my head and grinned. I smiled widely and sneered, “Xavier, we are already divorced. Why does it matter who I date?” Xavier frowned as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, “You are the mother of my child. Of course it’s my business!” “Oh, so now you recognize me as the mother? Didn’t you take my baby away from me so that a gentle and kind woman like Rachelle could take care of him?” I asked sarcastically. I laughed hysterically and kept attacking him desperately, “You accused me of carrying another man’s child, that I killed Rachelle’s child. You blamed me for ruining your wedding, you forced me to have children, and threatened me with my parents and g
