Semua Bab The Complete Drain Of Love: Bab 1 - Bab 9

After I left the villa, I wandered the streets for a long time. It was late at night when I returned home. As usual, Susan, the housekeeper, brought over some alternative medicine and placed it before me. A faint metallic tang lingered in the air. I breathed in the familiar scent and fell into a daze. After marrying Michael, we never conceived a child. A hospital check revealed my womb was the one at fault. It would be difficult for me to conceive. When I found out, I had wept endlessly. Michael could not bear to see me in that state, so he searched the entire country for renowned doctors. He finally found a highly respected local practitioner of traditional alternative medicine. That practitioner claimed that blood drawn from a man’s fingertip could be used as a catalyst to help treat a woman’s infertility. Since then, Michael carried a small knife with him at all times. That way, he could draw blood whenever I needed it. Over the years, his fingertips had been cut so ma

I said firmly, “Since it’s work matters, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.” At that, he hurriedly kissed my forehead and strode away. My eyes grew moist as I watched the car fade into the distance. It was the first time Michael had left me for another woman. It was also going to be the last. After he left, the restlessness in my chest would not subside. My mind was filled with images of Michael and Rachel spending time together. In the end, I simply told the driver to follow them. Two kilometers from the house, I spotted a familiar car. Rachel leaned softly against it as Michael held her in his arms. “I told you not to appear in front of Evelyn. Why didn’t you listen?” Tears rolled down her delicate face. She pouted and spoke aggrievedly. “Michael, I only wanted to share some good news with you. I didn’t mean to appear in front of her.” She lowered her gaze to her belly. “I went to the hospital. Michael, we are having our own baby! I was too happy, which is why I

I did not know how much time had passed when I started speaking again. I spoke in a slow, calm tone. “Don’t tell Michael about this. Not a single person is allowed to tell him.” When I returned home, Rachel was already waiting there. When she saw me, she swayed her hips and deliberately pushed her stomach out with a smug look on her face. “You knew about me a long time ago, Evelyn, didn’t you?” I silently studied her. Her eyes were bright. Her skin was pale, and her body was gracefully slender. We were nothing alike. After I learned of Rachel’s existence, I had someone investigate their relationship. They had known each other long ago, but Rachel’s humble background made his mother believe she was unworthy of Michael. After we married, at a banquet, Michael was maliciously drugged and mistook Rachel for me. The two of them had spent a night together. Afterwards, to take responsibility for Rachel, Michael hid her away in a villa on the outskirts of the city. That v

I never expected the cameras to make it so easy for me to keep an eye on what was happening at home. When he returned to the bedroom, he began searching frantically. “Where is everything? Why is everything gone? Where are all the things I gave Evelyn?! “My diary—where is my diary?!” Susan followed him inside. Hearing his words, she finally spoke with pity. “Mrs. Anderson cleared everything away a few days ago. Some she threw out, some she burned, and now nothing is left. She said that since she had decided to leave, she would leave completely. That meant removing all traces of herself by your side. “And she asked me to give you a message—that if she discovered that the love you gave her wasn’t unique, then she wouldn’t want you.” When Susan finished speaking, Michael’s trembling body froze stiff. Nobody knew how much time passed before he collapsed weakly to his knees. He stared blankly out the window, and silent tears fell. Susan stood beside him and sighed quietly.

Michael's uncle's family was never qualified to compete with Michael for the heir’s position, yet over the past five years, Michael cared only about searching for me and had neglected the company. It left the patriarch of the Anderson family completely disappointed. They took advantage of the chance to curry favor with the old man and constantly demonstrated its ability within the company. But Michael was the heir the patriarch had devoted his life to raising. Even if disappointed, he could not completely abandon him. Michael's uncle's family was unwilling to let the opportunity slip, so they schemed to tarnish Michael’s standing in the patriarch’s eyes and went as far as to spread malicious slander. Michael had been urgently summoned back home because of their plotting. They accused him of cutting corners in a project, which had caused workers to die. The old man was upstanding and kind. He hated such things the most. Upon hearing it, he became so furious that he collapsed
