Chapter 2
I slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes and looked up at the hazy window.
Perhaps the only thing worth comforting.
It is that both Patrick and I obtained freedom.
While pondering, Patrick’s phone rang.
“Gracie, did you go to grandpa to tattle on us again? Our rare romantic moment with Jessica was completely ruined by you.”
“I warned you, if you dare to do it again, I will cancel the card!”
If in the past, I would humbly explain and apologize to Patrick.
I tried every possible way to gain his forgiveness.
But now, I just said it with an indifferent expression
“Up to you.
on my face.
Patrick was somewhat surprised by my indifferent attitude.
But soon, he laughed coldly again.
“I heard that the child was born, having a child by your side gives you confidence in speaking.”
“But don’t forget, I was the heir of the Harper family. As long as you were still in the Harper family, I had plenty of means to mess with you.”
I closed my eyes.
I have witnessed Patrick’s methods.
The first time I caught them in bed, I naively went to David to seek justice.
But it was met with Patrick’s furious retaliation.
He used my mother as a threat, forcing me to kneel on the cold and chilling bedroom balcony, repeatedly slapping myself.
That night, the sound of their intimate moments with his mistress continued all night.
I entered the hospital with a swollen red face due to frostbite.

The remaining bit of sincerity completely dissipated in the vast snow.
Afterwards, no matter how outrageous things Patrick did.
I pretended that I didn’t see it.
Silently endured Patrick’s various humiliations and difficulties.
She worked hard to maintain Mrs. Harper’s identity.
And now, mom is no longer here.
The child couldn’t stay.
This marriage, which was already dead in reality, should also be officially declared over.
I hung up the phone indifferently.
I got in touch with a friend from the funeral parlor and made an appointment for the cremation
time.
When I returned to the ward, I saw Patrick standing at the door.
He frowned at me and then let out a cold laugh.
“Why didn’t you continue acting pitifully?”
“Just gave birth to a child and started running around everywhere. With such a good physical condition, it seems like there is no need for any postpartum recovery.”
“I planned to bring Jessica to the villa to live. She is young and delicate, not capable of doing housework. You should handle the discharge procedures and come back to work as our nanny.
Speaking, Patrick approached me.
A malicious smile hung on his face.
“Your pained expression was the best aphrodisiac for me in bed.”
He stared at me intently, hoping to see me in pain and sorrow.
But I only had a calm and numb expression.
Patrick, who found it boring, once again stopped the nearby nurse.
“What about the child, is it a boy or a girl? Bring it here for me to see.”

The
young nurse looked panicked and flustered.
I helplessly said, “The child was taken away by grandpa.”
Patrick wanted to say something else, but his phone rang.
As soon as he answered the phone, his face instantly changed.
Then a slap landed on my face.
“Gracie, what did you do to Jessica? If anything happens to her, I will definitely not let you off the
hook!”
Already weak, I stumbled and hit the armrest behind me.
The young nurse hurriedly came forward and supported me.
“Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper has just given birth to a child, and you are risking her life like this!”
Patrick remained oblivious.
With concern for Jessica, he quickly left.
The young nurse looked at me with a sympathetic expression on her face.
On my pale face, there was no extra expression.
It seems like all the love and hate, have been exhausted in the ten years of grinding.
