Semua Bab You Saved Her and Let Our Son Die. Don’t Start Crying Now: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Mr. Ford, the crash site is still dangerous. You can’t go in right now.”“We’ve already contacted the rescue team. The ambulance will be here any minute.”“Mr. Ford…”“Get out of my way! If anything happens to her because you're wasting my time, I’ll make you all pay for it!”Amid the wave of chaotic noise in her ears, that furious shout pulled Stella Spencer out of the darkness of unconsciousness after the crash.She struggled to look toward the sound and saw a familiar, tall figure nearby. He was rushing toward her like a savior.Tears of relief filled Stella’s eyes.After the accident, she had been trapped in the overturned car for what felt like an eternity. She truly thought Hunter Ford wasn’t coming. Before the accident, they had been in the middle of a massive fight. The night before, they had agreed to meet at the office, but Hunter had stood her up after a morning phone call. He had ignored all her follow-up calls. When the crash happened, she used the last of her

Inside the hospital room, Eugene was still enthusiastically telling Gwen how cold Hunter had been toward Stella during the years Gwen was away.“There was one year when Stella threatened Hunter by saying she’d slit her wrists. She even sent him photos of it. Guess what happened?” Eugene chuckled. “Hunter didn't even blink. He went home, dragged her out of the house, and told her flat out that if she wanted to die, she should do it outside so she wouldn't dirty the house.”Eugene had heard this from others. Rumor had it the temperature was below freezing that night. Stella had been left outside shivering like a leaf, the blood from her wound already starting to clot in the cold.As he spoke, Eugene found the story both hilarious and pathetic.“Hunter’s attitude toward her has always been obvious. And then look at how he treats you, Gwen. When you had a fever overseas, Hunter was ready to—”“Enough. You talk too much.”Before Eugene could finish, Hunter cut him off coldly.“Tsk.

The nurse was about to speak when Eugene, who happened to be passing by, cut in with a smile. “It’s a pregnant patient from the upstairs ward. She was kicked out by her previous hospital.“Hunter, don’t listen to them,” Eugene added casually. “These nurses hear so much gossip every day that they get their stories mixed up.”Hunter took Eugene’s word for it without a second thought. Besides, he and Stella had always used protection over the years. It was highly unlikely she could even get pregnant.In a casual tone, he asked, “How is Stella doing? I heard she came to the hospital too.”Eugene shifted his gaze guiltily.“She’s fine. Just a few scrapes. She probably heard you were here looking after Gwen and pretended to be hurt just to get your attention.”As he spoke, Eugene stole a quick glance at Hunter.Hunter did not seem suspicious. He frowned slightly, let out a scoff, and turned to leave.Eugene finally let out a breath of relief.After Hunter left, Eugene immediatel

Stella stopped by a law firm to have a lawyer draft a divorce settlement.She had already outlined most of it while she was in the hospital. The only part left was the division of assets, which she still needed to discuss with Hunter. She used to have a promising career, but after the wedding, the Fords insisted they didn't want their daughter-in-law working in public. She was forced to quit and focus entirely on managing Hunter’s daily life and meals.Because Hunter preferred peace and quiet, the cleaning staff and servants had been let go over the years until only Mrs. Wilson remained. Mrs. Wilson was one of Yvonne’s people, and she used that connection to walk all over Stella without a hint of guilt. She lazed around the house, ordering Stella to do the work instead, acting as if she were the one in charge.Hunter either did not know.Or perhaps he knew, but chose to ignore it.As a result, Stella was less the lady of the house than a free live-in servant and bed partner hi

Hunter’s expression darkened as he pointed to the section on asset division. “I don’t remember discussing the division of assets with you.”Stella paused, caught off guard. She had not expected that question.Given the Ford family's immense wealth, money was never an issue. Although Hunter treated her coldly in daily life, he had never been stingy with money. In fact, when he had tried to bribe her into a divorce before, the terms he offered were far more generous than what she was asking for now.Regardless, Stella didn't overthink it. She simply handed him the itemized bill her lawyer had calculated, along with her justification for the requested amount.“So, what you’re saying is that marrying me was a financial loss for you?”After reading it, Hunter let out a mocking laugh. “Stella, with your abilities, earning one thousand a month would already be your limit. Who gave you the nerve to value your own salary at four thousand a month?“And besides, Mrs. Wilson has been managin
