Love Divided by Revenge, Let's Separate for Good

When they got to the door, Erick stopped and looked at Lizbeth carefully.

“Liz, do you really like me? If you do, why did you let me be in danger?”

“You’re the kind of person who has had many lovers. After the child is born, will you leave me?”

“You have many men, but I am different… Liz, I only have you…”

Erick's fell onto the back of her hand.

Those tears also fell into Lizbeth's heart. She did not answer with words but instead with a deep, urgent kiss.

After a while, they pulled apart with thin threads of saliva.

“I feel the same. I only have you. Rick, I promise this is the last time it's going to happen. If you don’t believe me, we will register our marriage tomorrow.”

The boy grinned a little and moved closer so he could kiss her forehead gently.

“You lied to me. You said the date of our marriage registration is still far away.”

“I'm Lizbeth Flare. I can decide the date of my own marriage registration whenever I want it." She took his arm and walked out the door.

At that moment, my world fell apart.

Tears blurred my sight. I stood there for a very long time. I took out my phone and dialed the hospital.

“Schedule my surgery now,” I ordered.

After I hung up, I looked at the wound on my abdomen. The blood would not stop gushing. My body hurt, but compared to my heart, it hurt less.

I got the wound for kidnapping Erick. He stabbed me by accident... or maybe on purpose, who knows. What's clear was the fact the blade went through my kidney.

Coincidentally, my kidney injury affected my ability to have a child. It's lost forever. I would never be a father.

When the anesthesia began, I heard loud noises outside. I soon realize tt was Lizbeth.

My chest tightened.

“Where is the doctor? Check him! He passed out after getting into the car. Is he going to be okay?” she asked with worry.

“Miss, there are other people waiting for surgery. The clinic is not here,” a staff replied.

“Shut up! Say another word and I’ll shoot you! If something happens to him, this hospital will close! I mean it!”

A bullet smashed the glass of the operating room. The doctors instantly went panic and scrambled to get out and apologize.

Before leaving, one of them told me, “Sir, please wait. I will check on the injured man and come back right away.”

I lay on the operating table with a bitter smile on my face.

Lizbeth wasn't the woman she used to be. Now her eyes and heart belong only to Erick Wayne. I felt stupid for expecting her appearance in the hospital because she knew I got badly injured.

My mind grew fuzzy. I seemed to go back to when she first found out she was pregnant.

She held me and kissed my cheek gently. “Tom, I am so glad to have you.”

I kissed her back with the same warmth.

“When the child is born, we will move abroad. I had too many enemies here. I want a normal life.”

“All right. I will agree to anything. You are everything to me now,” I said.

The scene changed. She put a gun to my forehead, face twisted.

“I told you, he's different. He’s only a kid! Why won’t you leave him alone? I’ll tell you the truth. The child in my belly is his.”

“Tommy, this is going to be the first and last time, this kindnapping happen.”

Bang!

The gunshots rang.

Hundreds of my men, who had fought with me for eight years, fell in pools of blood.

“If there is a next time, this will be your end!”

The bloody scenes kept turning in my mind. She squeezed my beating heart in her hand, then stabbed the open wound on the left side of my chest.
