My Husband's First Love Broke My Mother-in-law's Urn
Chapter 2
Perhaps seeing my genuine anxiety, a trace of doubt appeared on Matthew's face.
At this moment, Luna, in his arms, rubbed her chest against him. Her voice was coy and affected. "Matthew, is Violet unhappy that you transferred 200,000 to me? So she made up such an outrageous excuse to trick you for money?
"Violet, if you want money, just say so. Why act? I feel embarrassed for you."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat!
What?!
Matthew transferred 200,000 to Luna.
I thought about it. I seemed to have heard something about 200,000 on the phone earlier, but I was too anxious to pay attention.
But Mia was still in the emergency room. Her life was in danger, waiting for money to save her.
We had just over 200,000 in savings. That was Mia's life-saving money!
How could he disregard his own mother's life and give the money to someone else!
I looked at Luna's legs under her ultra-short skirt.
She was wearing over-high heels, standing on one foot. She was leaning on Matthew, and the ankle of her suspended foot was swollen.
It looked like a sprain.
Matthew accused me with disgust, "Violet, you made up such a poor excuse to trick me just to stop Luna from treating her leg. How could you be so vicious!"
I could hardly believe what I was hearing!
Just a sprain that a few patches could solve. Yet, it needed a whole 200,000 to treat!
I was anxious and angry. "Matthew! Mom is still in the emergency room! How can you give the money to her?
"Quickly get the 200,000 back to pay for mom's surgery!"
Luna burst into laughter, reaching out to stop me.
"Violet, can you stop acting? So many people are watching. Trying to blackmail and trick Matthew's money morally isn't right.
"You don't even have a job. You don't know how hard it is to earn money, and you just ask for 200,000..."
I laughed out of anger. They still thought I was acting to trick them for money?
I was sweating with anxiety. I had time to argue with them, just wanting to get the money back immediately to save Mia's life.
I pulled my hand back. "I'm talking to my husband. You..."
Before I could finish, she exclaimed "Oh!" and suddenly fell backward.
"Luna!"
Matthew's expression changed. He quickly caught Luna and held her in his arms.
He softly comforted the fake-crying Luna, then raised his hand and slapped me hard on the face.
"Violet! You knew Luna's leg was injured, yet you deliberately pushed her! How could you be so vicious!"
I stood there in disbelief.
I never thought that my husband, who was so loving to me not long ago, would do this to me.
Thinking of Mia who was still waiting for the money to save her life, I felt both angry and aggrieved.
I was on the verge of breaking down, full of pleading, "Matthew! I'm begging you, give me the money to save Mom's life!"
Matthew sneered. "Still acting!
"Even if what you said is true, I still wouldn't give you the money.
"Your mom is so old already. Spending so much money on saving her is a waste. She might as well die sooner."
I was completely stunned.
It turned out he kept hanging up on me and didn't want to give the money because he thought I wanted it for my mom's treatment!
I looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, so indifferent. And his words were even more chilling.
"Besides, that 200,000 is my money. It's for my mom's retirement. It wasn't easy for her to raise me."
My nails dug deeply into my palms.
"Matthew, you are such a beast!
"You will kill mom!"
Matthew sneered. "That's your mom, not mine! A mother-in-law isn't the same as a real mom!"
After speaking, he picked Luna up horizontally. "Luna, let's go. I can't stand watching this madwoman go crazy for money!"
I urgently pulled at him, my voice pleading, "Matthew, it's your mom! The one in the emergency room is your mom! She's waiting for you to save her life!"
He paused for a moment. Then Luna in his arms whined, "Matthew, my foot hurts so much..."
Matthew's eyes were instantly filled with pity.
He kicked me in the stomach. "Get out of the way! Don't delay me taking Luna to treat her leg!"
Then, holding Luna, he walked away.
I fell heavily to the ground. My stomach was in severe pain, as if something very important was leaving.
I held my lower abdomen. Tears streaming down my face.
"My baby..."
...
I had always known that Matthew had an ex-girlfriend of five years. A woman he adored named Luna Stewart.
They had talked about marriage. However, Matthew couldn't come up with the bride price demanded by Luna's family for her brother's wedding, so they were forced to break up.
Two years later, he met me. As we got to know and love each other, Matthew acted perfectly.
His family's financial situation was average, and I didn't ask for a bride price when we got married.
So Mia felt indebted to me and always treated me very well.
We had been in love for over two years, married for one. To prepare for pregnancy, I quit my well-paying job six months ago to rest at home.
It could be said that more than half of that 200,000 was money I had saved before marriage.
To let me rest better, he transferred the money to his card and told me not to worry about anything.
But I never expected that my once-loving husband would become so heartless after Luna, his first love, reappeared!
Or rather, I never truly knew his real character!
