Cynthia was already fed up and did not want to explain another. She thought it must be Mercury retrograde this month. Otherwise, why was everything going wrong?Moses noticed something was off and asked, "What's going on?" "Just trust me," Cynthia replied briefly. Although Moses had his doubts, he did not ask further. Whatever the reason was, he would find out later.The surgery was over an hour later, and Jayleen was sent to a regular ward.The doctor explained the situation to Cynthia and Moses, "The patient lost the baby, and there are several abrasions on her body, but other than that, she's okay.""Baby?" Moses was surprised. Then, he turned to look at the composed Cynthia, and he felt a little nervous for the first time. Was it Joshua's baby? Cynthia ignored Moses, only thanking the doctor, "Thank you, doctor."After that, she went to Jayleen's ward. Moses followed her, and he could not help but ask, "Is it Joshua's?""I'm not sure," Cynthia replied truthfully.
"If I die, I'll live on in Joshua's heart forever. If I'm crippled, Joshua will cherish me even more. Either one is worth it," Jayleen said.Her life was already in such a state that if she did not grab onto Joshua tightly, her days would only become more hellish. That person would not let her go and tormented her day and night, making her wish for death.Joshua was her lifeline, and she had to hold onto him no matter the cost! "Well, you better hold onto him tightly. Don't let someone else steal him away from you," Cynthia said coldly."You can't steal him from me!" Jayleen blurted out.Cynthia looked at her with a pitiful expression. It was really sad to see someone living their life this way. Nonetheless, she told Jayleen about a new discovery, but her tone was still as flat as before, just with a bit of emotion at the end. "Who said I'm the one trying to steal him from you?""What do you mean?" Jayleen narrowed her eyes."Your car accident and the incident at the hotel. I
"You'll be held legally responsible if I die," Jayleen said, her original intention being for Cynthia to hit her. However, she realized that Cynthia had not driven since moving out.Moses looked at her with skepticism, wondering how Joshua could have been interested in someone this stupid. He had only heard from Joshua that he was in a relationship, but he had never formally introduced Jayleen to his family. Hence, Moses was always curious about the kind of person who had managed to win Joshua over. Now he knew.Thank goodness he did not bother to find out earlier. Her intelligence was really lacking, and he found it quite distasteful."It was you who caused the accident. As long as I didn't violate traffic rules, even if I hit you and you died, it would be entirely your fault. Even if there were legal consequences, I would only be responsible for less than 10% of the blame. I can definitely take care of that responsibility myself if you insist," Moses replied casually, making his
It was almost eleven o'clock when Joshua arrived. He was still wearing the same outfit as before, and his heavy breathing indicated that he had rushed to get there. His obsidian eyes were filled with worry.When he saw Cynthia, he subtly frowned but walked over to Jayleen."Jayleen," Joshua said."Joshua," Jayleen replied, tears streaming down her face.Cynthia was impressed by Jayleen's ability to cry on command. After all, it was a skill not everyone possessed.Joshua tried to comfort Jayleen, and his words and demeanor were much more patient than when he had spoken to Cynthia.Moses coughed lightly. "Ahem."Was Joshua really so insensitive that he would show affection to his mistress in front of his wife? What a scumbag."What happened?" Joshua asked, still standing and looking at Cynthia and Jayleen. He seemed displeased. "Why is Jayleen in the hospital?"Cynthia did not say anything, and Moses remained silent too. When he called Joshua earlier, he only said that Jayle
"What do you mean by that?" Joshua's voice was hoarser than usual, and his obsidian eyes were filled with raging emotions.Jayleen was half-leaning on the hospital bed. She had removed her IV drip and clenched her hand tightly. "Moses put his hand in Cynthia's clothes.""Wow!" Moses blurted out.Cynthia looked at him. Despite her anger, her mood lightened up, even finding it slightly amusing because of his remark."Why don't you just say that Cynthia and I were having sex in the car? You have a talent for lying with your eyes open! I've never met someone like you before," Moses retorted."Moses!" Joshua shouted.Moses grinned. When he recalled Cynthia's response, he replied, "What's the matter? Do you believe me?"Joshua did not say anything. Watching Moses defend Cynthia made Joshua feel inexplicably frustrated."Joshua, they might just be temporarily infatuated. Cynthia might be upset about something between us. That's why she did something like this." Jayleen tugged on Jos
"Even if he's not nice to everyone, he wouldn't have done anything to hurt me," Joshua said without any warmth in his voice, his obsidian eyes staring at Jayleen.Jayleen was truly scared now. "Joshua, I really didn't lie to you. They were really doing it in the car...""Enough!" Joshua's anger had reached its peak.Jayleen shuddered.Joshua never thought that someone he trusted so much could turn out like this. "Do you think that no matter what you say about Cynthia, I'll believe it?"Jayleen's face turned pale."Moses wouldn't betray me, and neither would Cynthia. You shouldn't be smearing her reputation with something like this."Cynthia looked a bit bewildered. She had prepared herself for being blamed for everything today, but things took a turn."Isn't Joshua acting weird today?" Cynthia pointed at her head and whispered to Moses."You should say that he's normal today. His head was clouded with shit before." Moses smirked as if he had already expected this outcome.C
"I don't accept it," Cynthia blurted out. Moses also said, "I don't accept it either."Jayleen looked at Joshua with teary eyes, hoping he would forgive her. However, Joshua did not indulge Jayleen like before. If it had been Mitchell with Cynthia, he might have believed half of it. After all, Mitchell was someone Cynthia liked, and that would have caused a big argument between them.Sensing Joshua's intention, Jayleen took the initiative to ask, "Tell me… What can I do for you to accept my apologies? I'll do anything you want me to."Cynthia glanced at the two of them and said, "Stay away from Joshua and never show up around him again, and I'll forgive you.""Uh..." Jayleen bit her lip."What's the matter? Can't do it?" Cynthia pressed."Then slap Joshua twice. If you do that, I'll forgive you," Cynthia added.Jayleen clenched her hands tightly under the blanket, her hatred for Cynthia deepening. Even so, she had to keep pretending."Cynthia, this is my fault, and it has n
Cynthia refused. She did not even glance at Joshua and Jayleen as she walked out as if they were both insignificant. Joshua's heart tightened, but before he could make up his mind, he was already chasing after Cynthia.When he reached the door, Joshua did not forget to remind Moses, "Watch over Jayleen. I'll be back in a bit." Moses did not even respond whether he agreed to it or not.By the time Joshua caught up to Cynthia, they had already left the inpatient department. "Cynthia!" Joshua grabbed her arm from behind, his husky voice carrying a hint of tension.Cynthia stopped in her tracks, looking at him calmly. "What do you want?""I'm sorry about what happened today. Jayleen isn't usually like this. She may have suffered psychological trauma from being assaulted, causing her to act impulsively," Joshua said, feeling uneasy. He felt a coolness spreading throughout his body."What authority do you have to apologize on her behalf?" Cynthia asked.Joshua paused. All his wor
