Chapter 9

　　There was silence in the office.

　　Charlie looked suspiciously at the documents on the table.

　　\"What do you mean?\" This woman was asking for a divorce, again. Was she planning to remarry? The thought upset him even more.

　　He sat down, picked up the document, and browsed through it. The more he looked, the more puzzling it was for him. It was just an ordinary divorce agreement, indicating she would voluntarily leave the house. She would not get a single cent, and a no-contact clause was included.

　　She was such a scheming woman. She had manipulated him into marrying her. Now she wants nothing? What on earth was she planning?

　　\"Charlie, sign it quickly.\" Brenda was so overjoyed that she couldn\'t even mask it.

　　Charlie ignored her, calmly threw the agreement on the table, and stared at Andrea.

　　\"What are you trying to do? You can\'t bear it anymore and want to escape?\"

　　\"Yes, I want it in black and white. What else can I do? Haven’t you always wanted to get rid of me? Sign it.\" Andrea Qin was firm, and this rendered him speechless.

　　He stared at Andrea Qin, as if to see through her heart. However, he found only peace in her eyes.

　　Charlie Jiang\'s face was cold, but his anger surged up.

　　He was used to Andrea Qin\'s obedience, and he never thought that this woman who loved him from the bottom of her heart would divorce him so easily.

　　Something had changed. She stood there quietly. It seemed that her thin figure could be blown away by the wind at any time. He couldn\'t understand it! \"Andrea Qin, what do you want?\"

　　\"What do I want? I’ll never get it.\" Andrea Qin looked at him and laughed. Moths to the fire. Even as she died, she couldn\'t get his love.

　　Seeing her calm like this, Charlie\'s heart felt like it had been stabbed. He wanted to slam the divorce agreement on her head and throw her out of his office, but remembered. This woman had killed his father!

　　A stream of hatred surged into his chest. He promptly signed the agreement, and slapped it on her face.

　　\"I can\'t wait for this divorce to take effect! Get out of here. The papers fell before Andrea.

　　She did not move, staring at Charlie\'s face, taking in every last detail.

　　She wanted to engrave his face firmly in her heart. Maybe this was the last look she was able to have, and she didn\'t want to forget it in her next life. The pain in her body became more and more intense. Andrea Qin tried to suppress her coughing and trembled. She could hardly hold on.

　　With great difficulty she knelt on the ground, and picked up the pages one by one.

　　\"Goodbye, Charlie.\"

　　She got up, panting and shaking, and turned to go, but she had exerted such an effort that she felt weak. Charlie’s eyes followed her as she left. When she nearly fell, his hand shot up by reflex, to help her.

　　However, he immediately controlled the urge to help her, and instead looked at her as she steadied herself. Andrea, sweating, held on to the frame of the door.

　　Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a figure came in to hold her steady. \"Andrea, I\'m here to pick you up.\"

　　Andrea Qin was relieved and looked up at Jeffrey Su. \"Thank you.\"

　　\"Andrea Qin!\" Upon seeing Jeffrey, Charlie completely lost control.

　　\"You are divorced.\" Jeffrey Su looked up at him, his eyes undisguised hostility.

　　Andrea must have called him over to help her move on and forget Charlie. Charlie stared at them, the veins on his forehead protruding, and his clenched fist crackled. \"No wonder you are so ready to divorce. It turns out that you have a new boyfriend! Andrea Qin, you are such a slut.”

　　They had made a fool out of him. He was furious. He wanted to strangle this woman, who had gone behind his back to find someone new.

　　Andrea raised her head, ignoring his words, and looked at him with a smile. \"Mr. Jiang, we are divorced. If you are interested in my wedding, I\'ll give you the invitation.

　　\"Leave!\" Charlie grabbed the folder on the table and hurled it at Andrea Qin.

　　\"Let\'s go.\" Jeffrey Su caught the folder, glanced at the angry Charlie, and helped Andrea leave.

　　\"Bitch!\"

　　Charlie threw a full-on tantrum, and made a huge mess. Brenda was so scared that she slipped out of the door. It was the first time she had seen him so angry.

　　Charlie\'s chest heaved violently.

　　He smashed his fist against the wall, and a few drops of blood spattered him.

　　Why?

　　Why on earth was he angry? He\'s free. He should be happy. That woman has moved on. He hated her even more!

　　But his heart felt empty. He felt like he had lost something which he could never regain.

　　Andrea had been pretending to smile, but as soon as she had reached the door, she suddenly collapsed to the ground. She could no longer hold back her tears.

　　Divorced.

　　She and Charlie divorced like this.

　　She was no longer Mrs. Jiang. She could not call him her husband anymore. They were now officially strangers. Andrea Qin found it too painful to breathe, her lungs were burning and her heart was torn apart.

　　\"Andrea Qin, calm down, for the sake of your child.\" Jeffrey held her by the arm. She weighed next to nothing.

　　Andrea took some deep breaths, reached out and stroked her abdomen, and was able to calm herself down. Yes, she had lost Charlie, but now she had his child. The child will be her triumph!

　　\"Jeffrey, you’re right.\" Andrea Qin shook her head hard, for the sake of the child, she should calm down.

　　She stood firm against the wall and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a heavy pressure on her abdomen, followed by bursts of pain.

　　The pain increased. Andrea Qin\'s legs lost strength and soon, she could not support herself. She slumped on the ground. A stream of heat flowed out of her body like a spring and moistened her skirt.

　　\"Jeffrey!\"

　　Andrea Qin looked down in a panic.

　　She hadn’t realized that her long white skirt had been stained with blood. It was flowing down her legs to the floor, winding like a stream.

　　Andrea Qin\'s brain was blank and almost fainted in horror.

　　Her child!

　　\"Jeffrey, my child!”

　　Andrea Qin\'s tears came down. She grabbed Jeffrey Su\'s hand helplessly and cried miserably.

　　Half an hour later, Andrea Qin was in the emergency room.

　　Several times she lost consciousness.

　　Except for the pain tearing through her abdomen, her mind was mostly blank.

　　Save my child.

　　She was barely conscious, but still she heard the doctor\'s diagnosis.

　　\"The patient had taken too many abortion drugs. The embryo is gone.”
