When I got out of the operating room, I saw my dad.
I told him about it.
He told the doctor that the baby was evidence, so the doctor gave the baby to us.
I asked, “Where’s my mom? How is she?”
“She’s fine. She got some superficial injuries and fainted because of high blood pressure.” My dad seemed to be exhausted. He smiled at me and comforted me, “When you get better,
I’ll take you to see your mom.
I asked, “Where’s Zackary?”
My dad said, “He has been detained. When you recover, we will deal with it. Don’t worry. He’ll go to jail.”
I nodded.
Thinking about what happened that day, I couldn’t help but feel sad.
1/3
After staying in the hospital for a few days, with all the paper materials, my dad took me to the police station.
Zackary looked haggard.
Life in the detention center wasn’t easy.
He sat there with his face covered in wounds.
When he saw me, his eyes lit up.
“Lillianna, you tell them to let me out.”
The police officer next to me sneered. “You beat your wife up. It’s not easy for you to get out of here. You hurt her intentionally. You are going to jail.”
“Intentionally?” Hearing it, Zackary curled his lips. “It’s domestic violence, right? If I have to go to jail, then how about Lillianna?”
My dad asked, “Who cheated?”
Zackary said, “Lillianna has an affair with Manuel.”
My dad slapped him. “None senses! Lillianna didn’t do anything wrong. It’s your mom.
She’s with Manuel.”
“Are you kidding me?” Zackary looked up incredulously and stared at my dad.
“Of course not.” One officer took out his iPad and found a video.
A few days ago, Joyce went to Manuel to ask about his mistress. They had a big fight and called the police.
My dad happened to be the one who dealt with it.
After the investigation, Manuel’s mistress was Mallory.
Manuel had been secretly dating Mallory since Manuel was in college.
2/3
That was why Manuel claimed to be Zackary’s father.
Ironically, on the day Zackary hit me, Mallory begged my dad not to tell Zackary about it.
My dad agreed, but he then got a call from our neighbor.
Zackary watched the video where Manuel admitted that he cheated on Joyce, and Mallory was begging my dad desperately.
Zackary’s face darkened as he clenched his hands into fists and hit the desktop heavily.
“Impossible! I don’t believe it. You guys lie to me. If my mom is with Manuel, how could Lillianna’s panties have appeared in his house?”
“That’s because she stole Lillianna’s panties.”
My dad sighed.
When he dealt with that case, Joyce didn’t believe it either.
After all, no one could accept that the homewrecker would be a fifty–year–old woman.
Joyce also asked about the panties.
But Mallory said she liked those panties. It looked good. She wanted to add some fun to her and Manuel’s love life because Manuel had been very reluctant to sleep with her.
Learning the truth, Zackary completely broke down.
He grabbed his hair hard and screamed.
He couldn’t wait to go out and tear Manuel in half.
Chapter Six Another Chance
After venting his anger, Zackary looked up again.
“Even if Manuel is not her man, she’s still screwing someone else, or elsewhere did the child in her belly come from?”
I said in a cold voice, “Whether you believe it or not, the child is yours.”
“Impossible,” Zackary directly denied. “The doctor said that I have low sperm activity. It’s simply impossible for me to have a child.”
“That doesn’t mean there is no sperm. It’s just not easy to get her pregnant. There is still a possibility,” A police officer said after hearing this. “The doctor is so unprofessional.”
Zackary didn’t believe his words. “I saw a doctor at the Men’s Memorial Hospital. It’s a professional.”
“Men’s Memorial Hospital?” The police officer laughed. “You chose the wrong hospital. It’s a lousy one. There are at least ten cases related to that hospital. The doctor there deliberately exaggerates. They just want money.‘
Zackary was shocked.
He was unwilling to believe this.
It wasn’t until someone showed him the relevant cases that he realized he had been
cheated by the doctors there.
Zackary became even more wretched in an instant.
He finally realized the seriousness of the whole thing.
He said, “Lillianna, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I lost my mind because I love you too much and did such a ridiculous thing.
“Forgive me. You can beat me up to relieve your anger. I didn’t mean to not believe you. For
1/3
the sake of the child, give me a chance. The child can’t be without a father.”
In a few seconds, he turned into the usual Zackary again.
He had regret in his eyes.
I said in a cold tone, “A child? The child has already been aborted by you.”
“What?” Zackary was horrified. “We lost our child? I didn’t… didn’t use much strength.”
“Yeah.” I lifted my clothes. There were still bruises on my belly. Zackary did that to me. “This is what you brought me. Have you forgotten, Zackary? The child was gone. It was
killed by his father.”
My whole body trembled when I said this.
Grief was coming at me.
I forced myself to hold back to keep the tears from falling.
Zackary bit his lip, still not believing this.
“No, it can’t be. Lillianna, you must be lying to me. I controlled myself. We can’t lose the baby so easily. You are angry, so you said that on purpose, right?”
I didn’t know.
Zackary was such a suspicious person.
I held back my tears and took out the divorce agreement from my bag.
“We lost our baby. There is nothing you could do.” I sucked in a breath. “Zackary, let’s get a
divorce.”
Zackary’s hands trembled.
When he heard that, his shoulder started to shake.
“How could this happen? My poor child…”
2/3
His tears were nothing to me.
When Zackary finished crying, the police said.
“Lillianna’s injury was serious, and the victim wasn’t willing to forgive, so you would most likely have to go to jail.”
When he heard this result, Zackary’s face went pale.
He eagerly begged me, “Lillianna, don’t sue me. I’m impulsive. I didn’t mean to kill our child. Can you give me another chance?”
Facing his remorse and pleading, I did not agree.
After all, I wasn’t the only one who was hurt by him.
When he hit my mom with the whip, he never thought of giving us a chance.
