Of Fractured Vows and Broken Hearts Chapter 8
My mother tapped the screen and cast the footage.The surveillance video from the civil service exam institute made one thing unmistakably clear: it wasn't that she hadn't bothered to tutor Fleur properly—Fleur's mind had never been on her studies at all.She skipped her daytime classes and headed straight for the male dormitory. It wasn't until late at night that she staggered out, clothes rumpled, arms slung around three different men…There was no sound, yet the images struck harder than any accusation. The impact blasted Shane's mind to pieces."For a piece of trash everyone's slept with like you, I actually… actually destroyed my own child! I ruined Lily… I ruined my entire family!"The madness in Shane's eyes frightened Fleur so badly that she wet herself. She turned to run, but he grabbed her by the collar.The force nearly choked her.He seemed to care about nothing anymore. Dragging her down the hallway, he stumbled forward, refusing to let go no matter how she screamed

"My mother spent her whole life upright and principled, working steadily in the public sector for twenty years. But to help you through your crisis, she didn't hesitate for a second—she resigned her post and lowered herself to become a highly paid civil service exam instructor."Do you know how her old rivals mocked her behind her back? They said someone from a scholarly family had fallen into the trap of money. But for the sake of giving us a better life, she swallowed every bit of that humiliation!"My voice began to shake uncontrollably."And what did she get in return? On New Year's Eve, in front of all my relatives back home, you let Fleur use the filthiest words to smear her daughter…"My mother… she's always been so proud. In her entire life, no one had ever pointed at her spine and cursed her like that. How was she supposed to endure such humiliation? How could she possibly bear it?"The past replayed itself vividly.All the grievances I had buried for so long—my anger, m

I spent half a month in the obstetrics and gynecology ward.When I first woke up, it felt like I had just come back from a long, dreamlike journey, as though half my soul were still drifting in the air.After I learned that my mother had been successfully rescued and was now in stable condition, my head fell back—and I slipped into another three days of unconscious sleep.In my hazy state, warm towels gently wiped my body.The blood beneath me was cleaned away promptly, leaving almost no trace of that metallic smell.Every time I opened my eyes, there was always a bowl of warm porridge at my bedside, and Shane's grief-stricken gaze.He behaved as though he loved me desperately. He stayed by my side day and night, never leaving.Even my father, who had first greeted him with cold hostility, gradually softened.Every day, he silently brought meals to Shane, who never left my bed.But I knew my father would never utter a word of forgiveness for me.I also knew everyone was waiti

Shane's mind rang with a dull buzz, and he stood frozen in place.His thoughts clashed violently.That scream… it sounded like Lily's.But how could Lily be beaten? He had already paid twenty thousand to calm those families down. For an unborn fetus, twenty thousand should have been more than enough!He must have been imagining it—too anxious, too on edge.Even as he tried to convince himself, his hands shook uncontrollably, and his feet refused to move.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he pulled out a bank card and shoved it roughly into Fleur's hand."Fleur, go to my mother-in-law's hospital and pay the surgery fees first. I'll wait here for Lily to come out—"Before he could finish, the mediation room door burst open with a loud bang.Two uniformed staff members, pale-faced, rushed out carrying an unconscious woman."Call an ambulance! There's so much blood!"Shane's gaze locked onto the blood soaking Lily's legs. It was as if a hammer struck his head.He f

The slap landed weakly, with almost no force.Yet, it seemed to deal Shane a crushing blow. His whole body went rigid."Shane, do you even know what her filthy rumors have caused? Three newlywed couples have already demanded their money for the wedding back. One woman has undergone an abortion. Her husband is threatening suicide! And now you want me to go apologize—have you thought about what they'll do to me?"Shane closed his eyes and let out a long sigh."I know, I know… but I have no choice. Fleur is pregnant. How could she bear that kind of danger?"It's me who wronged you… but in the end, this is also your fault. If you had stopped me earlier from staying at her place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, none of this would have happened!"I stared at him in disbelief, my heart still aching despite myself.I had stepped barefoot on shattered glass and left a scar as big as a bowl, and still I couldn't stop him from going to Fleur's side on those days.And now he was turn

Shane reacted like a drunk cat whose tail had been stepped on—startled and guilty, he toppled backward onto the floor.Fleur kept her face tight as she hauled him up and dragged him away. When she saw that I didn't stop them this time, her smile finally bloomed, as if she had claimed total victory."I told you long ago—without my permission, no one gets to marry Shane.""Oh, but I should still thank you for playing along in today's little act. Mom already said that once I'm officially promoted, she'll kick you out of the house!"My mother-in-law had always favored Fleur, suppressing me at every turn. She even put the family heirloom bracelet on Fleur's wrist.Only in work matters had she ever been dissatisfied—because Fleur had never managed to become a permanent employee."Ugh—"The cloying scent of perfume made me gag uncontrollably.Alarm bells rang in my head.Fleur seemed to realize something too. Her body swayed for a moment, then she quickly forced out a smile."Stop p
