Semua Bab My Husband Lied About My Pregnancy to Adopt His Illegitimate Child: Bab 1 - Bab 7

The noise outside the hospital room was still loud, but I sat there in a daze, staring at the chat messages on his phone."I've already told my wife. Once she gets rid of the baby, I'll bring our son home." "Don't worry, Asher is my son. I'll make sure he has the best of everything."Like some kind of self-inflicted torment, I kept scrolling up, reading through the sweet words of their so-called love.Outside, Jacob Barrett, as the hospital director, was discussing my condition with the other doctors."My wife has always been in poor health. This ectopic pregnancy was an accident. The longer she carries it, the more dangerous it is for her."Our hospital has regulations. As a doctor, I can't perform the surgery myself. Please, do me this favor."The doctor hesitated. "Surgery schedules are really tight these days. The earliest available slot is in a week. Jacob, maybe you should reconsider.""No matter how much it costs, as long as my wife is safe, I’ll do whatever it takes."To an

He pulled me into his arms, gently comforting me. "As long as you’re happy, I’ll do whatever it takes." My emotions finally settled. But when we got home, I couldn’t sleep. Maybe it was because that child’s presence had shattered the relationship that I held onto for so many years. That night, I was plagued by nightmares. I woke up in the middle of the night, clutching my stomach in pain. Panicked, I shook Jacob awake. "My stomach hurts… it hurts so much." Jacob bolted upright, startled. "Hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital right now." He quickly started putting on his clothes, preparing to carry me. Just then, his phone rang. He froze, then picked it up. "Hello? What’s the emergency?" I instantly sensed that something was off. Who could be calling him at this hour and making him sound so anxious?A second later, I heard the voice I dreaded the most. "Jacob, Asher has a high fever." At those words, Jacob, who had just been about to lift me up, turn

Fortunately, Jacob’s biggest rival was more than happy to speak up for me. "Funny how Mr. Barrett wasn’t so concerned about loyalty when he was cheating. Some people really have no shame these days. "Mr. Barrett, are you really resorting to seduction to hold onto those shares?"If that’s the case, I can gather a few people to support your… new career." Jacob had always cared about his reputation. After he heard those words, he didn’t hesitate to storm out. Sophia shot me a glare before hurrying after him. I touched my face, feeling an unexpected sense of relief. The worst thing in the world wasn’t dealing with a lunatic—it’s realizing that the person I loved all along was nothing but trash. After signing the contract, Jacob never bothered me again. After all, he wasn’t some genius.He couldn’t handle both love and business at the same time. I thought that was the end of it. But I never expected him to come back for me. After selling my shares, I focused on starti

"You’re pathetic." I crouched down and looked at Jacob, stating the simple truth in a calm voice. For a brief moment, a flicker of hope flashed in his eyes, only to fade just as quickly. He gripped my hand tightly, pleading. "Evelyn, why? Do you really not feel anything for me anymore?"Or is it someone else? Did someone fill your head with lies? Now that you have money, are they trying to take advantage of you?" I looked at Jacob coldly before suddenly laughing. There was mockery in my smile. Yes, I looked down on him. "You love me? Do you really think that’s love? You just enjoy the feeling of having someone admire you, of believing that you’re irresistible."And Asher—do you really love that child? No, you were just flattered that a woman would be willing to have your baby."In reality, you’re selfish. You don’t love anyone. The thought that I once wasted my time with someone like you makes me sick." Jacob nearly lost his mind. His face turned red with fury as he p
