Regina’s eyes turned red immediately. Seeing this, Michael raised his hand and slapped me without thinking. It was the first time he had hit me in our eight years of marriage. He seemed to regret it right away, but still stood firm.
"Elizabeth, don’t go too far. You’re an orphan yourself. How can you say something so cruel?!"
I didn’t want to argue anymore. When I left home, my family didn’t help me at all. They even locked my records.
That was why Michael only knew me as an orphan.
But now, who was really in the wrong?
"Yes, I’m cruel, but it’s still better than getting someone pregnant before our divorce!"
"I already told you, what happened with Regina was an accident. You’re hurt and it’s hard for you to get pregnant now. Do you really want me to die without children or grandchildren?!"
Michael’s eyes were cold.
"Elizabeth, when did you become so heartless?"
My lips trembled.
"Why is it hard for me to get pregnant? Don’t you know the reason?"
Michael’s expression changed. He looked nervous, like he wanted to explain.
"Enough! Stop fighting. It’s all my fault, okay?"
Regina screamed, pushed Michael away and ran out of the room. Michael turned to glare at me.
"If anything happens to the child, I won’t forgive you."
"And don’t talk about divorce again. That trick is getting old."
After Michael left, I lost all my strength and collapsed to the ground. The doctor gave me allergy medicine and I applied for discharge as soon as I finished taking it. I went home carrying a divorce agreement that only needed his signature.
As soon as I opened the door, a crystal glass fell at my feet. It hit my knee, which turned purple right away. I knelt on one knee in pain and couldn’t stand up for a long time.
"I’m not as delicate as you rich people. Take all these things away. I don’t want them!"
After smashing the glass, Regina also threw down the limited-edition bag nearby. The things I once wanted but couldn’t have were now trash in her hands. Michael stood nearby holding a bowl of soup, looking helpless.
"Alright, then don’t take them. But drink this soup to warm your stomach. Don’t starve the baby."
"Why are you so clueless? This isn’t what I wanted!" Regina shouted as she pouted.
"I regret asking you to be my baby’s father. I didn’t think you would get me pregnant so fast. I don’t understand why your wife has tried for years but can’t get pregnant."
