“Giselle wouldn’t get angry if she knew, right? If she would, you should take it back. I don’t want this to hurt your relationship.”
Jackson’s eyes immediately turned serious again. After trying to calm her down and ending the call, he said sharply, “If you don’t go through some pain, you’ll never learn!”
After that, he turned and walked away.
I stood there again, feeling lost.
Six beachfront villas?
Jackson feared I was materialistic, so he gave me less than 200 dollars throughout all our years of marriage.
Every expense I had was covered by this small barbecue restaurant. To make a living, my body had long since been worn down to the breaking point.
But Jackson could easily give Rosalie six beachfront villas?!
The sounds around me were loud and angry, but I blocked out the insults.
While they were yelling at me, they even hit me.
I curled up on the floor, letting myself be hurt, tears falling hopelessly.
My lower belly hurt badly, and blood stained the floor.
That was when I realized I was pregnant!
When they saw the blood, they got scared I might die and ran away, still

cursing.
I couldn’t handle the pain and the mental pressure, and I fainted.
When I woke up, a beggar with a rough beard was touching me, his greasy hands roaming all over my body.
For a moment, I forgot my pain, screamed, and pushed him away with all my strength.
People on the street had gathered in a circle.
Blood was spreading on the ground from my lower belly, but they thought the old beggar had caused it. They took photos and scolded me.
But the beggar only became more aggressive instead of calming down.
“You slut, aren’t you trying to seduce me by lying here pretending to sleep? You’ve been with so many men already, what’s one more?” he sneered.
This beggar hadn’t been with a woman for a long time and seemed mentally unstable. He even said rude things to me in front of everyone on the street.
He grabbed one of my legs eagerly.
“From now on, you’re going to be my wife. Come home with me and bear me a son.”
The bleeding all night had left me very weak, and I couldn’t fight back.
I felt so hopeless like I wanted to give up on life.
Then suddenly, I saw a familiar face in the crowd–Jackson.
I knew he was the only one who could save me right now.

So, I didn’t hesitate and used all my energy to crawl over to him.
“Jackson, are you really going to be so cruel and watch me die without helping?” I said through clenched teeth.
Jackson’s expression was serious and dark.
“Rosalie cried nonstop for three days and nights, so you should suffer the same way for three days and nights.
“In three days, I will take care of this.”
For Rosalie, he didn’t hesitate to make me go through terrible pain.
For a moment, I couldn’t even tell whose husband he was anymore.
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
“I’m pregnant and I’ve lost a lot of blood. I don’t know if the baby will survive. Please take me to the hospital first.”
When Jackson heard this, he frowned and snapped, “Giselle Stinson, do you think I’d believe you? How did you become like this? You just make up lies to get sympathy! Don’t I know your body well? You’ve been trying IVF for years without success–there’s no way you’re pregnant now!”
Yes, Jackson and I always dreamed of having a child.
We tried IVF for three years, and each year he would sew tiny clothes for the baby, hoping it would arrive soon.
However, the baby never came, so this time, I was surprised to find out I was pregnant.
Yet before it could enter the world, it was cruelly taken from me.
The old beggar was furious at my refusal, so he slapped me hard and

pulled me away.
My heart sank into despair once more.

Just as I was about to give up, Jackson’s friend rescued me from the old beggar.
“Giselle, you’ve got some nerve. How dare you do something like that in public? You’re shameless, yet Jackson still wants you!
“If he hadn’t called me here, would you really have ended up as the beggar’s wife?” he asked, already knowing the answer, his eyes full of
sarcasm.
