Chapter 4
After coming out of the emergency room, the doctor told Edward and I that the baby was fine.
“You rest easy and nurse the baby. Deal with our marriage after the baby is born,” said Edward icily.
“Do you still care about the baby?” I sneered.
Edward said, “Of course. The baby is my bloodline. How could I not care?”
His words were so ironic. In my previous life, he had ignored the fact that I was pregnant, locked me up in a secret room full of poisonous snakes, let me be bitten alive by the snakes, and then watched as the already–formed child and I were eaten clean by the snakes.
But in this life, he cared about the baby.
After Edward left, I approached the doctor. “Doctor, please perform an abortion on me.”
I thought, “My child, don’t blame me for being cruel. Even if I give birth to you, you won’t be happy.
Living a new life, I don’t want to have any involvement or ties with Edward.
Forgive me, my child.”
After being discharged from the hospital, I returned home and opened my computer to draft the divorce agreement.
Just after ten in the evening, Edward came home.
“I have something to say to you.” We both surprisingly spoke in unison.
“Go ahead,” I said.
Edward said, “Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Jessica to apologize, and you’ll have to beg her forgiveness.”
I laughed, “Are you insane? Are you asking me to beg her for forgiveness?”
“Shouldn’t it be? Jessica and I are just friends. I just think of her as a sister. But you’re so petty and vicious that you always think Jessica and I have something to hide,” said Edward stubbornly.
“Are you sure you really just see Jessica as a sister? What sister would ask you to go to her room in the middle of the night to install a light? What sister would come to my house when I’m on a business trip and watch TV in your arms in a miniskirt?” I retorted.
Edward blushed, obviously knowing I was right.

“Regardless, it was your fault for luring Jessica into the primeval forest of Ailfa Mount this time. You were so evil that you tried to get Jessica killed. Shouldn’t you apologize?” He said loudly.
I was furious and took out my micro–recorder, placing it in front of him, then roared, “See for yourself exactly who harmed whom.”
