In the video, Adrian was holding her clown, his

A sharp pang hit my chest as I recalled the time I had a car accident, my legs grabad and shattered,
I was left lying in a pool of blood unhlstrangers shed me to the hospital.
Then came to, 1 begged them to call Adrian
His response cold and indifferent. “What’s the point of calling if you’re not dead? Am I a doctor? What do you expect me to do??
I spent a month in the hospital, but he never showed up.
Later, I learned that on that day, Benna and he had gotten into a fight, and when an accidentally fall down the stairs and hurt her ankle, all his anger and worry shifted onto ma
I couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh, my heart heavy with welt–mockery,

It took me all these years to realize that I had wasted eight years of my life on a man who wasn’t worth a second oft.
I walked down the mountain, ready to take a tax when Adrian’s call came in.
Inawered, and his voice came at me hie aslap
Eleanor, Sienna is having an anxiety attack because of you. Get over bere and apologia!”
Struggling to hold my umbrella against the fierce wind, I replied, “Tu still at the hotel “
At that moment, a thunderstorm cracked overhead, and the rain came down harder.

A few seconds later, he barked into the phone, “Eleanor, what’s your problem? Why make such a big deal out of something so small? If you could just be more generous, I wouldn’t…”
All the lingering attachment I had vanished in an instant. A bitter smile curled on my lips as I cut him off.
“Adrian, let’s get a divorce.
“I’m not apologizing to Sienna. I’ll step aside. Let the two of your have each other.”
If they were so in love, then I’d make way for this pair of scumbags.
It was him who promised to love me forever and take care of me for the rest of my life.
I believed in him, and that was why I chose him.
Why couldn’t he just stay true to it?
I hung up and took a taxi.
Without a second thought, I told the driver to take me to the hospital.
The wind and rain battered the car window, and with every drop that hit the glass, the numbness in my heart slowly started to come back.
Chapter 2
When I entered the hospital, the nurse took one look at my wedding dress and asked if I needed help.
I forced a smile. “Can you schedule an abortion for me?”
The nurse froze, her eyes full of sympathy.
As I paid for the procedure, I noticed Adrian and Sienna nearby.
They didn’t see me, but I overheard their conversation.
Adrian’s voice was icy. “Sienna, Eleanor needs to apologize for what she’s done.
“She’s been with me for eight years, and no one else is ever going to want her. If she still wants to be my wife, she’d better start listening.”
I stood frozen in the corner.
I thought after everything that had happened today, my heart wouldn’t hurt anymore, but it still did.
As I lay on the operating table, I saw the ultrasound image of the baby. A tear slipped from my eye.
The doctor said, “The baby is healthy. Are you sure you don’t want to keep it?
“You can still discuss it with the father.”
I thought of their smug faces, gritted my teeth, and replied, “No.
