I loved Astor for over a decade, but how could he treat me like a fool?
Is it because he truly believed I loved him, so I was willing to be blind and deaf?
I know, making this act was just because he wanted to keep Chloe’s baby.
He knew I was grateful to Aden because Aden shielded Astor from the knife attack and saved Astor’s life.
Thus, I would definitely forgive Aden, even if I lost my child.
Tears slid down my cheeks, and I suddenly felt everything was too noisy.
I wanted to escape, to lock myself in my room and cry my heart out.
I was useless.
I said, “Just leave now.”
The two finally got quiet.
They looked at me cautiously.
I looked at Aden and spat out, “Get out.”
They both let out a sigh of relief because they knew I agreed to forgive them.

After Aden left, Astor held me tightly. His voice was filled with sorrow. “I’m sorry, baby. It’s my fault. I never thought to use the child’s life to repay Aden. I’d rather be killed back then.”
Yes, if you knew what happened today, why didn’t you just die before?
I touched Astor’s face with a numb heart, forcing myself to say, “Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. You’re just too kind.”
I saw Astor’s body tremble.
He looked away, unable to meet my eyes.
I pretended not to know.
In the following days, Astor stayed by my side, as if he only loved me, as if Chloe really had nothing to do with him.
I started to post our photos on Instagram, like staking a claim.
I knew Astor would see my posts on Instagram and would show a disdainful smile.
He thought I was the kind of wife who just wanted his love and attention.
Finally, Chloe couldn’t take it anymore.
She rushed to the hospital.
Astor angrily asked, “What are you doing here?”
Chloe felt aggrieved and said, “Mr. Ratliff, I’m here to apologize to Kelsey.”
Astor said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. I’ve already explained

to her. You can leave now.”
Chloe shed a few tears and turned to leave.

A minute later, Astor couldn’t sit still, saying, “I’ll order some food for you. What do you want to eat?”
I knew he was eager to see his mistress, so I casually said, “Whatever.” And then I watched him leave in a hurry.
I stood at the window of the corridor, indifferently watching Astor and Chloe downstairs. They kissed each other, but I didn’t have any feelings.
Maybe I really didn’t love Astor anymore.
I took out my phone and quietly recorded everything. Then I turned to go back to the hospital room, but I suddenly saw Alexis’s beautiful eyes.
Alexis was my high school classmate. He worked as a doctor in this hospital.
On the day I had surgery, Alexis stood in the corridor. When he saw me, his eyes were filled with pain.
Now, Alexis looked at me. He was angry and said, “Luna, he’s really a bad man. Do you still love him?”
I smiled but said nothing.
Seeing my pale face, Alexis sighed and said, “Go back to bed
and take a rest.”
Two hours later, Astor finally returned.
Alexis was cleaning up the lunch box.

Astor was slightly surprised, looking at Alexis with a hint of hostility. “Alexis, why are you here?”
Alexis responded coldly, “I’m a doctor here. I came to visit my old friend after work and brought her some food. Is there any problem?”
Astor looked at me guiltily.
He said he went to buy some food, but then let me wait for two hours. He even didn’t send me a message.
Astor hurriedly explained, “I remember you like the seafood porridge from the Star Restaurant. There were too many people, so I stood in line for a long time. I didn’t expect that you already had dinner.”
His tone was somewhat resentful as if blaming me for eating someone else’s food.
I didn’t want to expose him and said, “Since you took so long to buy this porridge, don’t waste it. Give it to Dr. Hinton.
“He helped me a lot. We need to appreciate him.”
Alexis immediately took the lunch box from Astor’s hand and said, “Alright, thank you.”
Then he turned to me and said, “I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
I nodded.
Astor blocked my view, saying, “When did you become so close to him?”
I said, “You’re overthinking it. We’re just friends.”

Astor still looked unhappy, and I knew he was jealous.
In the past, I would explain and comfort him, but now I didn’t want to see his face at all.
I said, “You’re tired recently. Don’t stay here anymore. Go back and rest.”
Astor hurriedly said, “How can I leave you alone? You need someone by your side.”
After a pause, he said, “Besides, I’m leaving for a business trip tomorrow. I won’t see you for several days, so I need to take good care of you tonight.”
A business trip?
I smiled slightly and said, “Since you’re leaving for a business trip, you should rest well. I’m fine now. I can handle it by myself.”
