When My Husband Takes Another Wife

I felt as if my world was spinning. So, James already had accompanying family members on base, and he'd even held a wedding here?What was that possible?Just as I was feeling at a loss, the young guard's words ignited my hope once more."Why don't you ask around? There are many people who share the same name, so the person you're talking about might not be the same one I know. It just so happens that Ms. Samson is here. She knows everything there is to know around our base, so you can ask her!"As soon as he said that, he warmly called out to the woman he mentioned.He was right. There were many people named James these days.So, I put on my friendliest smile and asked the smiling woman, who introduced herself as Regina Samson, about him.The woman had been smiling and praising Jasper for being such an obedient child. However, her smile slowly faded away when she heard my question.It was instead replaced by a disgusted expression."Did you say your husband's name is James Ze

The newcomer bellowed, "It's so unbecoming to fight like this in front of the base! How utterly disgraceful! Well? Are you still not going to let go?"It was only then that Regina reluctantly let go of my hair.The instant she let go, I collapsed weakly to the ground.Still, I continued calling intermittently for help. "Please… S-Save my child…"The newcomer—a military officer—took two steps forward. The surrounding people conscientiously made way for him.When he saw my son lying on the ground, barely breathing, he instantly sucked in a sharp breath. "Quick! Send the child to the hospital!"One of the officers behind him immediately followed his instructions and carried Jasper into a car.…Meanwhile, another officer took the initiative to take off his own clothes to cover up my exposed skin.It was only when I saw the car's engine start up that I felt slightly more at ease."What brings you to the base, young lady?" asked the first officer.Regina started yelling before I

Before passing out completely, I caught sight of Colonel Lewell's worried face and Regina's panicked expression upon hearing him call out my name.When I next regained consciousness, I was in the hospital.Mom immediately cried emotional tears upon seeing me wake up. "It's great that you're awake, Linny."Dad, in contrast to his usual dignified attitude, also asked in concern, "How are you feeling? Are you hungry? If there's anything you want to eat, I'll go buy it for you."Mom stopped him before he could go any further. "What are you in such a hurry for? Linny just woke up.""Why are you two here, Mom and Dad? Where's Jasper? How's Jasper doing right now?"At the mention of Jasper's name, Mom and Dad glanced at each other with stiff smiles. They avoided answering my question about Jasper and instead explained how they came to be here.Adrian had once fought alongside Dad. They were sworn brothers who'd worked together before Dad left the base.When he heard me bring up Dad's

James hugged Dad's leg tightly, looking aggrieved. It was as if we'd wronged him.I gazed at the fake emotions he wore on his face. I simply couldn't understand how he had the nerve to call all this a misunderstanding after playing me like a fool for seven years.A misunderstanding? His so-called misunderstanding had killed Jasper!Dad yelled furiously, "A misunderstanding? Do you call your son getting beaten to death and your wife being hospitalized from assault a misunderstanding? Fine! You can tell me it's all a misunderstanding once I beat the perpetrators up so badly they end up in the hospital too!"His rage frightened James a little, but James still retorted stubbornly, "I already asked them if they did it on purpose, Mr. Chalder. Who would've expected a child to die from a couple of blows?"I'd still been crying in Mom's arms, but his words angered me greatly. "A couple of blows? Do you hear yourself, James Zeller? I carried Jasper in my belly for nine months before giving
