Chapter 7

作者: Washing Wheat
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

  • The Twins Broke When We Chose Divorce   Chapter 9

    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

    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

    "Busy? You mean busy traveling, hiking, and telling Veronica bedtime stories?" I shot back. Bitterness spread through my chest, and my heart clenched with agony. Rowan was taken aback. After a pause, he spoke again, guilt creeping into his voice. "Veronica is my patient. Everything I do is for her recovery. A doctor always puts the patient first. Can you stop treating this like a competition?"I scoffed. "Don't worry. I'll see you at the courthouse tomorrow. After the divorce, do whatever you want. We'll never see each other again."Having said that, I ended the call and blocked his number again. …Early the next morning, Adeline and I arrived at the courthouse, only to see someone unexpected. It was Veronica. She wore a white dress, and I recognized it instantly. It was the one Rowan had bought her. After all, she had posted photos of it on social media to show it off. Before Adeline or I could get a single word in, Veronica's eyes glistened with tears. Her throat tighten

    I laughed in exasperation. "Apologize? Why should I apologize? You were the one who left me alone on the highway in the middle of a downpour!"You knew my stomach was hurting, yet you still dumped me there. And now, you have the nerve to ask me to be reasonable?"I added, "Don't worry. As long as you sign the papers, I'll make space for you right away. Then, you can buy as many dresses as you want for Veronica. It has nothing to do with me. I won't get in your way."I didn't want to speak to Rowan anymore. Just as I was about to end the call, his furious voice erupted through the phone. "Are you out of your mind, Emilia?" he roared. "I only bought the dress for Veronica because she was sick! Little things like this were meant to cheer her up. But you're pregnant and fat as a pig! What dress could possibly fit you?"I put a roof over your head, pay for everything you eat, and you're still not satisfied? So what if I didn't take you to the hospital? You seemed perfectly fine. Fine
