Cough, a sharp pain in the chest, a rush of metallic taste in the throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed into his mouth.
And swallowed it forcibly.
Then, slowly, he released her and walked towards the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.
She was so startled she froze.
Twenty minutes later.
The bathroom door opened again, and he came out with just a loosely-tied white towel around his waist.
His solid muscular lines were still so perfect, forming an inverted triangle leading down to the mysterious area at his abdomen.
And looked a few more times, just to confirm, it was her husband, indeed, he hadn’t changed at all, his physique was still so good... even on his chest, there were bite marks left by her.
She didn’t know what went wrong.
She also didn’t know what she had done wrong, why out of the blue, he didn’t want her anymore, why he wanted to divorce her while she was pregnant!
Did he ever think about how playing with her feelings and then harshly discarding her hurt her heart so much!
She didn’t dare recall the past... as soon as she thought of it, tears would pour down.
Actually, after being hurt by Benjamin Grant that time, she had a psychological shadow, in terms of feelings, she felt very insecure, cowardly to an extreme.
Thinking of the past...
Her heart was suffocated with a dull, intense pain, and a wave of nausea welled up in her chest.
She rushed toward the bathroom, leaning over the sink retching, tears and stomach acid surged up, making sweat bead densely on her forehead due to the discomfort.
She never knew how hard it was to be a mother, never knew pregnancy was so nauseating.
Those past events seemed as if everything was void.
But if it was void, how could she have a marriage certificate, how could she... how could she be pregnant!
But, why did he change into a different person! Why why... why!
She didn’t want that, she wanted her former husband! Wanted her old husband!
She finished washing up, took a shower, her hair all wet, she didn’t even want to come out, standing there under the shower.
The doctor said she shouldn’t disturb the fetus while pregnant, but if it were you, could you bear it? She couldn’t bear it...
He came in, still with that lazy demeanor, and without a word, he grabbed her, sealing her lips.
It was still that taste... that familiar taste, making her pause, it was her husband, her husband!
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she clung to him, crying and begging: "Husband, I beg you! Don’t be , don’t be ... I can’t bear it!"
She was in so much pain.
Her heart was painfully aching.
Her father had just passed away, her mood was bad enough, why did he still treat her .
"Alright, whatever you want."
He held her buttocks, directly hugging her entirely into his arms, soothingly comforting her: "Whatever you say goes, I’ll listen to everything you say."
She leaned on his shoulder.
Her nostrils filled with his familiar masculine scent, nothing had changed.
It was him, it was him.
Was something wrong with her mind, had she gone insane! Why did she have this sense of gain and loss.
Whenever she cried, his heart twisted with pain, he didn’t even know why, the more she cried, the more he hurt.
His head buzzed incessantly.
"No divorce, we’re not getting divorced." She was still Lucas Knight’s woman, still the love at the core of his heart.
She was still that woman he cherished unreservedly at the center of his heart.
He wiped her tears and kissed her eyes, cherishing and spoiling her so tenderly.
