I grabbed her wrist tightly, glaring at her, my voice sharp. “Where did you steal this bracelet from?”
Fariza jerked her hand away from me and sneered, “Steal? You make it sound so harsh! This bracelet was given to me by Mr. Presley.”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“Mrs. Presley, I’m not lying to you. Yesterday, Mr. Presley personally put this bracelet on my wrist, right in your bedroom!”
Fariza grinned maliciously, completely exposing her shamelessness.
“You saw it, didn’t you? The lingerie on

the nightstand was left by me. You can’t satisfy Mr. Presley, he wants it every day. I’m exhausted, hahaha~”
Just then, footsteps grew louder outside the door.
Before I could say anything, Fariza quickly knelt down, slapping her own face hard, her large tears falling instantly.
“I’m sorry, madam! This bracelet fell on the ground, and I thought you didn’t want it, so I wore it. It was all my fault, please forgive me!”
Suddenly, a tremendous force struck me from the side, sending me flying to the ground, unable to move.
Derick glared at me with an angry expression.

“How dare you! Fariza only borrowed it to wear for a moment, and you’re so vicious! How dare you punish her like that, what’s your intention?!”
The man before me felt so unfamiliar.
The same fists that once saved me from bullying in school were now turned on me.
A sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and the taste of blood filled my mouth.
“Derick, you know this is the only heirloom my mother left for me, how could you give it to this woman?!”
“What? This is an heirloom?!”
Fariza snapped the bracelet off her wrist and tossed it on the floor, as if it were garbage.

Derick immediately started apologizing, “Fariza, this bracelet is very precious.”
“So what? It’s just a dead person’s thing!” Fariza huffed and stomped out, Derick trailing right behind her.
I dragged my heavy body over, picking up the star–shaped bracelet and clutching it to my chest.
Everything went dark, and I lost consciousness.
I had been in the hospital for two days.
When I woke up this morning, I instinctively touched my abdomen, and the pain came. rushing back.
“My baby… are you happy now that you’ve

That day, when I passed out, I bled heavily.
By the time they found me, my baby was already lost.
The doctor told me that if I had been sent to the hospital sooner, the baby could have. been saved.
The door to the hospital room opened, and Derick walked in with his head lowered, looking apologetic.
“Sweetheart, how are you feeling today? Any better?”
I stared blankly at him, my eyes unfocused.
These past few days, he’d been sticking to me, apologizing for his neglect, praying for

the life we lost.
But I was beyond broken. I didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
“I’m sorry, darling. If only I had known you were pregnant, our baby wouldn’t have died.”
Derick reached out to hug me, but I quickly turned away, dodging him.
My baby died because of him!
I will never forgive him!
“Ms. Allen, it’s time for your dressing change” the nurse said as she entered, breaking the silence in the room.
I lifted my shirt, revealing the large, red, swollen scars from burns, which were a painful sight.

After the nurse finished changing the bandages, she left.
“Sir, your wife’s injuries require extra care,” the nurse warned.
Derick’s cold voice immediately followed, “What else can be done? I spent a fortune getting her surgery, and these ugly scars won’t go away. It’s such a disgrace to the Presley family!”
The door suddenly opened again, and he walked in with a smile on his face.
“What were you talking about with the nurse just now?”
I pretended not to hear, asking him, “What was that about?”

He quickly forced out a fake smile. “Nothing. I was just asking the nurse about your recovery!”
Ha, this is the man I loved for so long.
If he truly hated me, if he didn’t care about me, why did he marry me in the first place?
He could have just told me, divorced me, and I wouldn’t have clung to him. Why did he have to cheat on me?
I suddenly felt so exhausted, like I had no reason left to hold on to this relationship.
