The Hijacked Marriage Chapter 11
I froze.
I had always thought Claire was simply careless and did not realize how outrageous her behavior was.
I never expected that she knew everything.
Even though I had already given up on Claire, a chill still spread through my heart.
I pulled my hand back in disgust.
“Claire, I won’t forgive you. And you won’t get another chance.
“Before this, I gave you a total of one hundred and one chances. You didn’t cherish a single one. The last chance disappeared the day you got married with Ryan.”
I pulled my suitcase and walked around Claire toward the bus station.
Panic flashed in Claire’s eyes. She lifted her foot to chase after me.
“Nate, wait. I think we need to talk…”
The next second, a groan came from behind us.
I turned and saw Ryan crouching on the ground, clutching his stomach, his face twisted in pain.
“Claire, I think my enteritis is acting up. My stomach hurts so much. Can you take me to the hospital?”
This trick again.
In the past, Ryan often pretended to be sick in front of Claire, playing the victim and framing me so he could drive
a wedge between us.
Every time he went on a date with Claire, he would come to me afterward and provoke me in person.
Before I could even get angry, he would punch himself in the stomach, then clutch it and collapse on the ground, carefully arranging for Claire to witness the scene.
Then he would twist the truth and say he had only wanted to explain things to me, but I had hit and bullied him instead.
No matter how poor his acting was, Claire believed him without hesitation every time. She punished me without asking what had happened, and while she felt sorry for him, she grew more disgusted with me.
I thought Claire would abandon me as usual this time and take him to the hospital.
But to my surprise, Claire only glanced at Ryan faintly.
“Ryan, I’m busy right now. Take a cab to the hospital yourself.”
She turned back to me with wet eyes, just about to say something, when Ryan’s voice came from behind her again.
His face had gone pale. He bit down on his lip, putting on a stubbornly strong act.
“It’s fine, Claire. Go comfort Nathan. His matters are the most important. I can go to the hospital by myself…”
The next second, Ryan’s legs went weak, and he collapsed straight to the ground.
Noah, standing beside him, was terrified and burst into loud sobs.
“Dad! Dad, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!
“Mom, take Dad to the hospital! Dad is going to die!”
A flicker of distress crossed Claire’s eyes, and her fingers tightened slightly.
In the end, she still felt sorry for him.
She let out a breath and looked at me apologetically.
“Nate, he could be seriously ill. I can’t just stand by and let him die. I’ll take Ryan to the hospital first and come right back. Wait here for me, okay?”
Before I could answer, she had already taken Ryan and Noah and rushed toward the hospital.
Watching her hurried back, I was not surprised at all.
Sure enough, she had chosen Ryan and Noah again.
But this time, I would not wait for her anymore.
I looked away and headed for the bus station without turning back.
On the way, Ryan sent me another private message to provoke me.
In the video, Claire had spent a fortune arranging a VIP hospital room for him and hired more than a dozen caregivers to look after him carefully.
Nathan? Between you and me, Claire’s first choice will always be me!]
ion did nothing to me.
If my phone, checked my ticket, and boarded the bus.
oon as I sat down, Claire began calling me like crazy.
I did not answer.
Then she sent me ninety nine text messages.
