Our Love and Hate were Boundless, and Now Happiness Await

“Now you’re afraid of pain? Why weren’t you afraid when you pushed Priscilla? You have to pay for doing something wrong. Cut her- forty cuts, not a single cut less!”

Crashing pain came from my abdomen. My skin was cut open by the sharp blade over and over again. The smell of blood filled the entire space. I curled up in agony.

Looking at my blood staining the entire restroom floor, George was somewhat moved, as if he wanted to help me up. But Priscilla once again whimpered, “George, my belly hurts so much. Will you send me to the hospital?”

At those words, George stopped in his tracks and looked at me condescendingly.

“The day after tomorrow is the wedding of Priscilla and me. The wedding dress goes to Priscilla. It’s considered an atonement from you to her. If you dare to hurt her again, I will never let you go.”

As they walked away, my tears streamed down my face. George, there would never be another time.

The shop assistant took me to the hospital. And with some resuscitation, I saved my life, but lost my child. Until the day I left, George hadn't contacted me. He was busy preparing for his wedding with Priscilla and buying her all kinds of expensive jewellery.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Rosaline, I headed to the airport without looking back.

***

The next day, at the hotel, George was backstage waiting for the wedding to begin, but he was a bit distracted because he didn't see me anywhere. He thought I was having a tantrum and suddenly had a long-lost nostalgia.

 I’d been pampered by my family since I was little. Whenever I threw a tantrum, he’d have to coax me for half a day every time. I didn't know since then, I have never lost my temper with him and he, too, has not coaxed me for a long time.

George subconsciously sent me a text message.

[Caroline, I was a bit harsh that day, but you caused Priscilla to have a miscarriage and lose her chance to be a mother. So, I have to do her justice.]

[I know you care about your looks. I will find you the best medical beauty expert. I won't let you leave a scar. After all, you are also my woman. I won't leave you alone, as long as you don't provoke Priscilla anymore in the future. I will take care of you for the rest of your life. Be good]

Waiting late for my reply, remembering that I suddenly started calling him brother again in the past two days, as if I wanted to set something aside, George's heart welled up with inexplicable annoyance.

Until he saw Rosalie appear, he immediately asked, “Grandma, where's Caroline? Is she still upset about the bridal shop? I've taken the initiative to make peace with her. What else does she want? She’s always so stubborn…”

In the next second, Rosalie slapped him hard. “You beast! How can you still have the face to mention her?”

“Caroline has gone abroad to get married to someone. She will never bother you again. Are you satisfied now?!”
