The doctor came, removed the bandages, and
pushed me into the operation room again. An
hour later, I was back in the hospital room.
Dr. Lee glared at me.
“How could you joke with your own hands?
Do you even want to get on the operation
table again?”
“Just for a scumbag, you’re being so horrible
to yourself. Don’t say you’re my student from
now on. I don’t want to lose my reputation.”
She glanced at Ben, who was scowling.
“Sarah, why can’t you change? Why can’t you
be considerate like Ashley?”
I laughed coldly.
I shouldn’t have been impulsive for this
scumbag.
“Ben, this is who I am. I can’t change. I can’t
become someone who raises a mistress and
has no shame. Let’s get a divorce.”
Ben was furious.
“Enough, Sarah! Don’t threaten me with a
divorce. I’m going to take care of Ashley. She
is pregnant with the Carters‘ bloodline, and
I’m not heartless like you.”
“Now there are six months before Ashley
gives birth. You better think about it.
Otherwise, Ashley won’t feel safe leaving her

and selfish.”
I smiled indifferently.
“Ben, I don’t want to raise your mistress’s
child. If you don’t get a divorce, I’ll sue you in court.”
Ben trembled, “You’re going to sue me? Don’t you care about your family’s reputation? Are
you really that jealous of Ashley?”
“In this society, men in my position have
female friends. I have been respectful to you
by not hiding it. You better think about it.”
Ben left with Ashley.
I laughed. The years of giving in to him had
Ben left with Ashley.
I laughed. The years of giving in to him had
made him indifferent to my feelings.
The love I had for him disappeared at that
moment.
Ben didn’t come to the hospital for a week.
I saw on Ashley’s social media that he was
taking her to see the city walls and cooking
soup for her. He let Ashley take photos and
post them on her social media.
He once said that he hated posting on social
media.
As a boss, acting that way was embarrassing.
He even got any
Y
when I wanted to post one.
But now, he was smiling with Ashley in front
of the city walls.
It was clear who he loved and didn’t love.
On the eighth day, Ben helped me check out
of the hospital.
I silently followed him, not arguing.
As soon as we entered the house, we heard a
scream.
Ben rushed in, and I followed.
Two homeless men were grabbing and tearing
at Ashley
“Baby, someone paid us to serve you. Just don’t pretend.”
Ashley knelt on the ground and begged,
“Don’t touch me! Please don’t touch me!”
Her clothes were torn, and her hair was a
mess of tears.

Ben punched the homeless man. He picked
up Ashley and held her.
”
The bodyguards came in, carrying sticks, and
the homeless men ran out through the side
door, jumping over the wall.
Ashley cried,
“Someone paid them to do this!”
Ashley pointed at me,
“Sarah, why are you so cruel? I’m pregnant
with Ben’s child!”
She pushed Ben away, knelt in front of me,
and started banging her head on the floor.
“Sarah, I’m begging you! It’s all my fault.
Please spare my child. I won’t see Ben after
he is born. I’ll go to the mountains, to the Northwest. Please spare my child.”
Ashley was hitting her head hard, and blood
came out.
Ben held Ashley and said,
“Ashley, it’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you.”
Ashley said sadly to Ben,
“Ben, let me go.”
