My Husband Said I Was Fake So I’d Learn To Be Obedient Chapter 07
During rounds the next day, the doctor came to my bedside with my chart.
Adrian followed behind him, his eyes even more bloodshot than the day before.
“Ms. Bennett’s condition is not encouraging,” the doctor said,pointing at the ultrasound results.
“Prolonged exposure to cold,combined with external trauma to the abdomen, caused serious uterine damage. We’ll need to do a full evaluation later,but based on her current condition,the chances of another pregnancy are very low.”
I just nodded after hearing it.
“I understand. Thank you, Doctor.”
But Adrian’s face turned deathly pale.
He gripped the bed rail,trembling all over,and forced the words out through his throat.
“Evie, I looked into it. I wasn’t the one who froze your accounts.”
I gave no reaction, but Adrian kept talking on his own.
“The afternoon you moved out, Chloe used my phone to do it.”
“I transferred ten thousand dollars to you as emergency money. She reversed the transfer through the banking app and then froze your account access.”
I let out a hoarse, mocking laugh.
“And my friends? Who told everyone in our circle that I was a fake heiress and a mistress?”
Adrian froze in place.
This time, he did not dare answer.
I could not help laughing softly.
In the end, it did not matter who had done each individual thing. What mattered was that all of it had happened because of Adrian’s attitude.
He was the one who forged the DNA test report.He was the one who agreed to let Chloe turn me into his mistress for a year.
My parents, my friends, even the security guards at the party who had dared to lay hands on me,all of them had only been trying to please Adrian.
I closed my eyes, my voice calm.
“Adrian,let’s get divorced.”
The hospital room went frighteningly quiet.
Adrian stood there in a daze, as if he could not believe what he had heard.
“Evie,what did you say?”
Calmly,I repeated myself.
“I said,let’s get divorced.”
Then, as Adrian stared at me in shock, I told him l had known all along that the DNA test report was fake.
“Do you know why I was at the hospital that day?I was there for a prenatal appointment too.”
“I was going to tell you on our wedding anniversary.”
I sat quietly on the hospital bed and watched his expression grow more and more still.
Only when the nurse came in to remind him that l needed rest did Adrian leave unwillingly.
Before he went, he looked at me with pleading eyes.
“Evie, can we not get divorced?”
I turned over, putting my back to him, and gave him no answer.
On the day I was discharged, Adrian was busy looking into something important, so he did not come.
After I finished the paperwork, his assistant stopped me and handed me a black credit card.
“Ms.Bennett, Mr. Whitmore said you may use the money in this account however you like. The PIN is your birthday.”
I did not take it.
“Tell him my lawyer will send over the divorce papers.”
“If he wants a child, Chloe has already given him one.”
The assistant hesitated. “Ms. Bennett,Mr.
Whitmore..”
“Tell him that signing the papers will be the greatest compensation he can give me.”
