After My Husband Used Me to Bear a Child, He Went Mad with Regret

The next morning, I drove myself to the maternity ward of the People's Hospital, intending to get an abortion.

As I approached the hallway, I saw a familiar couple in the distance.

It was Max and Mandy. I immediately slowed my steps and hid around the corner.

Max was carefully helping Mandy sit on a bench in the hallway before he ran off to fetch some forms. I let out a bitter laugh and approached Mandy.

She spotted me and looked startled for a moment before smirking at me with disdain.

"What a coincidence. Are you here for a check-up too?"

After saying that, she deliberately glanced at my flat stomach, her face feigning shock as she exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot! You're infertile, aren't you? Silly me, I didn't mean to offend you!"

Seeing the smug expression on her face, I let out a cold laugh.

"You're actually proud of being a mistress, aren't you? I've never seen someone so shameless."

"Vivian, shut up! If it weren't for me studying abroad back then, you'd never have married Max. You're the third wheel in our relationship, not me!"

Just then, Max returned, holding the forms. Seeing me arguing with Mandy, he rushed over.

He immediately shielded Mandy behind him, glaring at me with fury in his eyes.

"Vivian, what the hell are you doing?! I'm warning you, stay away from Mandy and the baby! If you so much as think of harming them, I won't forgive you!"

"Oh? You won't forgive me. Such big words, Max. What are you going to do, eat me? Kill me?"

Max glanced at the onlookers peeking at us from down the hallway and dragged me into the stairwell.

"Why are you following us to the hospital? What do you want?"

I sneered at him and said sarcastically.

"I'm here to check if my infertility can be cured so I can give you a child. That way, you wouldn't have to pretend to be child-free and secretly have one with another woman."

"Vivian—I know you're hurt because of your infertility, and I was just trying to comfort you. But having a child with Mandy doesn't have to affect our relationship. Please, stop making a fuss, okay?"

At that moment, after he had spent the night in bed with Mandy, he still had the nerve to say this to me.

For a moment, I couldn't tell if the man before me was even human anymore, or if he had any conscience at all.

I stared at him, speaking calmly.

"Max, if Mandy is your long-lost love, let's get a divorce. I'll step aside and let you be together. Then you three can live happily ever after."

Max froze, clearly not expecting me to suggest a divorce.

"No, no, Vivian, don't say that. I never wanted to divorce you. You know that. I can't live without you..."

"You can't live without me, can you? Or can't you live without my father's support? Max, now I finally understand. You knew I was infertile, but you still married me. It wasn't because you loved me. It was because of the benefits I brought you, right?"

I hit a nerve, and his expression turned cold.

"If you insist on seeing it that way, fine. But I'm keeping Mandy's child, and I'm not divorcing you!"

With that, Max opened the stairwell door and led Mandy into the examination room.

As for me, I went and signed the papers for a painless abortion, preparing for surgery.
