Chapter 6
I don’t know how long I had been asleep, but when I woke up, my whole body felt like it was falling apart in pain.
Even when I tried to open my eyes, it felt as though my face had been slashed with a knife.
“Wife, how are you feeling? Do you want me to call the doctor?”
Geoffrey, with a stubbled face and red, swollen eyes, looked at me.
He gripped my hand tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, I would disappear.
I sighed. “Let go of me, I need to talk to you.”

He shook his head, his gaze full of tenderness. “Say what you need to, I’m here, holding you, it makes me feel at ease.”
“Geoffrey,” I interrupted him, “I’m serious, let’s get a divorce.”
Ignoring the pain in my body, I pulled my hand out of his grasp.
It was as though I was pulling him out of my heart–better to end it now than suffer for longer.
Geoffrey froze, staring at me in disbelief.
It seemed like he was searching my eyes for any sign that I was just being difficult.
But this time, he was going to be disappointed.

“You signed a prenup, a fidelity agreement, and an agreement about property division before we married. Don’t you remember?”
When Geoffrey proposed to me, he suggested signing these agreements to show that he wasn’t after my wealth or status. I was touched and thought that with his sincerity, we would never part.
But reality is always cruel.
All the sweetness and love I thought we had were just lies.
This marriage–maybe it was all a scam.
Geoffrey shuddered and loudly denied it, but

I refused to look at him and turned my head away, closing my eyes.
“I don’t agree. Wife, we’ve had such a good relationship, how can you just decide to divorce like this?”
“Do you want me to bring my illegitimate child in front of you? Do you want your mistress to kill me?”
I trembled with anger. His secretary was pregnant, and he was still trying to hide it from me!
“What nonsense are you talking about? What mistress? What illegitimate child? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Stop pretending! I’m lying here because of your mistress! She even says she’s pregnant with your child!” I couldn’t bother with him

anymore and pressed the nurse call button.
“Please escort this gentleman out. I need to rest.”
Since this was a top–tier hospital room, the nurse immediately called security to remove him.
Geoffrey struggled fiercely, shouting at me,
Geoffrey calmed down and said, “I will get to the bottom of today’s events, Lina! I won’t divorce you, I love you, you are the only one in my heart!”
“And with you like this, how can I leave? I won’t go!”
I couldn’t take it anymore, gritting my teeth and slapping him across the face.

“Leave! Don’t bother me anymore!”
Tears flooded my eyes, and I hugged myself tightly.
Just then, a sharp female voice rang out from outside the door.
“Mr. Cantrell, what’s going on? How dare this bitch hit you! I’ll kill her!”
