I collapsed and cried, immersed in the pain of losing my child, but Bruce rushed into the ward and slapped me hard in the face.
"Carol told me that you asked her out and then had someone kidnap her.
"You had the nerve to slander Carol before. You deserve this now."
The slap made my whole body tremble, and the unhealed wounds were torn apart, causing me to wail in pain.
I felt disappointed. It was his child. How could he say such cruel words?
I clenched my fists and screamed with bloodshot eyes, "Bruce, are you stupid? If I hired those kidnappers, would I let myself be hurt like this?"
Bruce was stunned for a while, then smiled with contempt.
"Who knows if you got involved in this to get rid of suspicion? You ended up hurting yourself like this.
"But no matter what, Carol is innocent. I have told you many times that I only treat Carol as my sister, but you always cause trouble for her, and now you have killed our child.
"Flora, can you stop messing around?"
I thought Bruce was stupid.
He said he treated Carol as his sister, but he brought her back to our house.
For Carol's safety, he even abandoned me and the baby, letting us fall to the bottom of the cliff.
How on earth did he have the nerve to say those words?
I was so angry that I laughed, and then tears streamed down my face.
After a long time, I took a deep breath and finally made a decision in my heart.
"Let's get a divorce. Since you think Carol is more important than me and the baby, I will help you."
Bruce's face darkened as he said angrily, "Flora, can you stop making a fuss? This matter is your fault. Do you think I will compromise if you bring up the divorce?
"I found that you have changed. You used to be considerate, but now you are like a shrew, always losing your temper."
I laughed. My child was gone, but he actually thought I was making a fuss and threatening him.
I had just had surgery and was unable to move. Otherwise, I would have picked up everything around me and thrown it at him.
"Well, take a good rest. I'll come see you another day."
After saying this, Bruce strode out of the ward without hesitation.
Looking at his back as he left, I smiled in self-mockery and sadness, feeling sorry for myself that it took me ten years to truly see through a person.
When I met Bruce, his company had just gone bankrupt. His ex-girlfriend was afraid of getting implicated, so she abandoned him and went abroad.
