ログインMy best friend, Adeline Miller, and I marry into the Caldwell family together. Coincidentally, we become pregnant at the same time. I'm married to Rowan Caldwell, the older brother who's a famous psychiatrist. As for Adeline, she's married to Elliot Caldwell, the younger brother who's an extremely skilled doctor. Rowan gives me a ride to the hospital, hoping to accompany me to my prenatal check-up due to the discomfort I've been feeling throughout my pregnancy. But on the way there, he abandons me by the road and leaves me there because of a phone call from his first love, Veronica Whitmore. As I sob, I beg him, "Please, Rowan, I'm begging you! It's raining heavily right now! Can you please drive me to the hospital first?" Rowan shakes my hand off impatiently. "Veronica has slit her wrist! This means she might die! Can you be more understanding toward her situation, Emilia? I'm going to tend to her injury right now! You can go to the hospital on your own!" It's raining cats and dogs out in the world. Yet, Rowan doesn't hesitate to ditch me on the highway. Left without a choice, I can only call Adeline and ask her to drive over to pick me up. Unexpectedly, on the way to the hospital, we see a truck barreling toward us. While I'm unconscious, I hear Adeline crying while calling Elliot on the phone, only to get reprimanded by him. "Stop messing around, Adeline! Must you come up with all sorts of lies whenever I'm spending time with Veronica?" It's thanks to a passerby's help that an ambulance is called to the crash site. That's how we get to survive afterward. Alas, we both end up losing our babies. Upon regaining our consciousness, we just smile bitterly at each other. "Are you getting a divorce?" "Yeah."
もっと見るAnd just like that, Veronica's image took a nosedive overnight. She went from the sweet young woman Rowan and Elliot had adored to the homewrecker everyone was desperate to see ruined. Watching her and the Caldwell brothers being dragged across social media, Adeline and I felt a thrill of satisfaction we had never known before. While I was on the phone asking if the evidence could be used to press charges of intentional injury against Veronica, she went berserk. She flooded my inbox and repeatedly called me. On the phone, she screamed like a madwoman, demanding that I take down the posts immediately. But as soon as I hung up, I spent money to boost the post and hired bots to make sure it soared straight to the top of the trending charts. …Later, Adeline and I met Rowan and Elliot one last time at the cafe where we had first crossed paths. They said that this would be our final meeting and that they had already signed the divorce papers. So, Adeline and I agreed.This fin
Rowan rubbed his eyes. When he realized it was me, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette and stepped forward. I noticed the stubble rough against his jaw and let out a scoff. "Rowan, how did you end up in such a pathetic state?"He pressed his lips together, tears streaming down his cheeks as he said, "I'm sorry, Emmy. I didn't know you were really in pain back then. I thought it wasn't serious. I thought you were just—""You thought I was fighting with Veronica for your attention?" I cut him off. "That I was targeting her?"Rowan's hands clenched at his sides as tears ran freely down his face."I'm sorry, Emmy," he began, his voice choking with sobs. "I didn't know. I just felt sorry for Veronica. She's an orphan, and no one cares about her. I looked after her like a younger sister, but you're the one I truly love."I shot back, "Rowan, when have I ever joked about our child? That was my baby! "You said Veronica was pitiful because she was an orphan with no one to love her. Bu
In fact, some of Veronica's lies were painfully obvious. But Rowan and Elliot never hesitated to abandon Adeline and me just to be by her side. Just like now, though Rowan was holding me and begging for my forgiveness, I couldn't miss the flicker of pain in his eyes the moment his gaze landed on the wound on Veronica's wrist. Veronica bit down on her lip, looking fragile yet stubbornly unyielding. The sight of her made my stomach churn. I pried Rowan's fingers off me one by one and looked at him coldly. "Mr. Caldwell, aren't you going to save your beloved Veronica?"He met my detached gaze, and a flicker of pain crossed his eyes. However, Veronica was standing in the middle of the road, sobbing as she cried out Rowan's and Elliot's names. Rowan stared at me, then whispered, "I'm sorry."In the end, he rushed to Veronica, bent down, and scooped her up in his arms. He then glanced back at me, guilt written all over his face. "I'm sorry, Emmy. Veronica has depression. She
Adeline fixed Elliot with a cold stare and spoke with disdain. "Isn't it obvious? The baby's gone."A surge of emotion crossed Elliot's face. He stared at Adeline in disbelief, his voice trembling uncontrollably as he asked, "What did you say? You're lying, aren't you?"All at once, tears welled up in his eyes. "That's impossible. How could the baby be gone?" he pressed in a hoarse voice. "Did you and Emilia team up to lie to Rowan and me?"Adeline scoffed and shrugged indifferently. "Dr. Caldwell, wasn't it because you rushed off to bandage someone else that Emilia's baby lost its very last chance to survive? Because of you, she even had her uterus removed! Are you and your brother satisfied now?"The moment she finished speaking, Rowan no longer spared Veronica another glance. He grabbed me by the shoulders, his voice breaking as he asked, "Emmy, this isn't true, right? It's a lie, isn't it?"I looked into Rowan's bloodshot eyes. At that point, his face was streaked with tea
