Married for ten years, Patrick Harper slept with all of my colleagues and friends around me.
I pretended that I didn’t see anything and went for a prenatal check–up as usual, with my eight–month pregnant belly.
Until one day on the way to a prenatal check–up, his affair partner hit me with her car.
I was bleeding profusely and begged him to take me to the hospital.
Patrick looked at me with a disgusted expression on his face.
“When did you learn to fake an accident, Gracie Scott?”
“Don’t think that putting on a show can make me care about you. Even if you were to die in front of
me,
I wouldn’t spare you a second glance!”
With that, he left with his new lover.
When I was being taken to the hospital, the baby inside my stomach had already suffocated and
died.
Even my mother, due to the shock, passed away from a relapse of heart disease.
After waking up, I looked at David Harper with a numb expression on my face.
“Let me go, I have already repaid my debt to the Harper family with my life.”
As we were speaking, messages kept coming in on the phone.
There were countless photos of Patrick and his new lover Jessica Hudson, all over the place.
At the moment when I was in critical condition during a difficult childbirth.
The two of them fought until dawn in a five–star hotel.
Jessica, covered in love bites, leaned against Patrick’s chest, her smile filled with provocation.
Patrick’s grandfather, David Harper, who was unaware of the truth, also wanted to make one final
effort.
He took out a share transfer agreement and placed it in front of me.
“Gracie, Patrick was not a bad child by nature. After all, you have liked him for so many years.
Maybe you can give him another chance. As long as I’m here, no one can shake your position as Mrs. Harper.”
I didn’t say anything and casually clicked on a video that Jessica sent.
The intimate voices of the two people immediately spread in the ward.
Jessica asked, panting,
“Patrick, you left Gracie on the road, and you didn’t feel any remorse at all?”
Patrick nibbled on Jessica’s neck, his eyes glazed over.
“What’s there to feel sorry for? You are my favorite person, even if Gracie had a child, she wouldn’t be qualified to compare with you.‘
The unbearable sounds made David furious, his veins popping out.
After a long sigh, he still chose to compromise.
“It is the Harper family’s apology to you. I will handle the divorce matter, and I promise to return
your freedom to you in seven days.”
“As for the affairs of your mother and children…”
In the midst of speaking, the nurse had already brought the child over.
It seemed as if even the heavens couldn’t bear to see me continue to waste away in this marriage.
Let this child be born and lose its breath.
I turned my head,
I tried to calm my emotions.
“The child was buried with the Harper family, and I took my mother’s ashes with me.”
David nodded with a pained expression on his face.
“It was my fault, I shouldn’t have insisted on keeping you in the Harper family. Go, go, you should
have a broader world.”
With that, he hunched his body and carried the already deceased child away.
I had been holding back my tears all along, but at this moment, I couldn’t help but let them slide.
Bitterness and sorrow surged into my heart, one after another.

The marriage between me and Patrick was arranged by David.
He needed someone to take care of Patrick for him.
I needed someone to pay for my mother’s expensive medical expenses.
So we agreed immediately.
I quit my job and married Patrick.
After marriage, I learned about Patrick’s tragic experience of losing both parents at an early age.
I also witnessed him crying and shouting “Mom” in his midnight dreams.
Two broken souls resonated with each other at that moment.
I wanted to heal Patrick’s heart.
I wanted to build a happy family with him.
In order to fulfill the responsibilities of being a wife to the best of my ability.
I practiced cooking hard and tried to make the taste of his mother as he described.
I visited various places and gradually reconstructed the small wooden house from his memory.
To meet his needs, I also learned various techniques in bed.
I thought we would have a happy future.
But on our wedding anniversary, he shamelessly took my best friend to a hotel.
I ran like crazy to question.
Patrick sneered and threw the contract between me and David in my face.
“Gracie, what did you think you were, playing with me for two days and acting like you were Mrs. Harper?”
“You were just a dog bought by my grandfather, what right do you have to interfere in
my
matters?”
“If you dare to make me unhappy, I will immediately have your mother’s treatment stopped!”
I was struck like lightning, unable to utter a single word.
Afterwards, Patrick became even more intense.
After getting tired of internet celebrities, I started targeting my friends around me.

Continuously breaking my bottom line.
On one side was a mother in need of medical treatment fees.
On one side was a marriage that had long since decayed.
The forces on both sides kept pulling me back and forth.
It made me almost collapse.
Once, I lost my footing and tumbled down the stairs due to a mental lapse, only to discover that I
was pregnant.
David almost pleaded with me, saying, “Gracie, please keep this child. He could be the turning point
in our marriage.”
“If Patrick still doesn’t show any improvement after the child is born, I will definitely no longer
force you.”
With various complex emotions in my heart.
I chose to agree.
Never did I imagine that I had worked so hard.
Mother, child, marriage, love.
Nothing was able to be retained.
