The Retribution of the Ex-Wife

Before this, Addison had not been experiencing good health. Even though Gideon didn't let her participate in certain activities around the house, she occasionally experienced illness and exhaustion. Because of the unexpected shifts in her attitude, she and Gideon got into a brief altercation. Despite her husband wanting her attention, she was quickly irritated by insignificant matters and by Gideon's innocuous actions.

In any case, the thing that preoccupied her was that she had developed a preference for meals that Addison had in the past found repugnant. Yet, the foods she had previously appreciated now made her stomach queasy.

Without letting on to her mother or to Dylan, Addison made a secret appointment at the hospital for a checkup so that she could learn the cause of her illness. She did this behind their backs. When it was finally her time, Addison got to her feet and visited Doctor Reid in his office. When Addison went inside and closed the door, the other woman gave her a friendly grin.

"How are you today, Mrs. Smith?" The doctor made a remark about it.

Addison greeted Doctor Reid with a friendly smile, saying, "Good Day, Doctor."

"Are we going to?" The doctor's question was direct.

As she worked on composing herself, Addison gave a satisfied nod. The physician inquired about the symptoms she had been experiencing over the previous few days. She was displaying a blank sheet of paper attached to the clipboard in her hand. "I was wondering how things were going. Are you having trouble falling or staying asleep?"

Before continuing, Addison took a few deep breaths and paused briefly. "To tell you the truth, something really peculiar has been going on with my body as of late. I was quickly exhausted, even when I wasn't putting in a lot of effort physically, and there were times when I struggled to sleep since I had to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and throw up. "It was explained by Addison. After only a few minutes of eating a hot pot, I am hungry again.

After taking down Addison's worries, Doctor Reid asked, "Do you feel dizzy?"

After spending a passionate night with Gideon, Addison reflected on a scene when she woke up the following morning. She started to feel dizzy and came dangerously close to missing her step on the way to the bathroom. Because she had only slept for two hours after Gideon let go of her, she reasoned that she must simply be suffering from a lack of sleep.

"I can confirm that," said Addison.

"How about your menstrual cycle this month? Did you miss your period?" The doctor inquired yet another time.

The question posed by Doctor Reid caused Addison's mouth to drop open in shock. She didn't waste any time and immediately looked at the date on her phone. It was already the 22nd of August. She was afflicted with her menstruation on the first day of the previous month. On the other hand, Addison was two weeks behind schedule this month.

"D-Doc, I'm sorry I've been delayed for two weeks..." Doctor Reid greeted her with a grin, handed her a pregnancy test, and said, "Go on." Her eyes dilated, and her lips began to tremble as she took the test.

In agitation, Addison accepted it, marched into the bathroom, and used it. She sat and waited for the result for five minutes before looking at it. There were two different red lines; this is a positive result.

She could feel her hands shaking as she delivered the equipment to Dr. Reid. The physician welcomed her with a warm grin and congratulated her, saying, "Mrs. Smith, you are now two weeks pregnant."

Addison was still processing everything that she had just heard as she was on cloud nine. Tears began forming in her eyes as she placed her palm on her stomach and looked down. "M-my baby..." she mumbled weakly to herself. Life could exist inside her womb. The love that Addison and Gideon shared resulted in their kid's birth.

After that, Addison recalled how her mother tormented her by saying that Chiara longed for a grandchild. Therefore, Chiara would see the kid as it developed and was fed. Her baby's well-being was one of Dr. Reid's primary concerns, so besides prescribing her some vitamins, he offered sound advice. After learning that Addison was expecting a child, Addison was cheerful that her sister Chiara and her boyfriend Gideon would be overjoyed.

The ringtone on Addison's phone sounded. When she got a call from a number she couldn't recognize, she immediately turned her attention to her phone. When Addison answered the phone, she did so with her brows furrowed, and the next thing she knew, her heart was sinking, and her world was becoming increasingly burdened by anxiety.

[Addison, this is Felicity...] [Translation:

It's Your Mother... She was taken to the hospital in an ambulance!]

The call was going to transfer to Addison when it was disconnected. After hearing the news about her mother, Addison felt like all her strength had been sucked out of her. After that, Addison quickly glanced at Doctor Reid before saying her goodbyes. She sent a text message to Gideon informing him of what had occurred as soon as she stepped outside, and then she hurried to the nurse station.

While all was going on, Felicity covered her face with her mask and cried when she saw Addison rush into her room. Felicity believed that even though Addison had arrived, all she would see of her mother was her body when she visited the funeral home. After silence, Addison finally inquired, "Where is my mother?"

Felicity got to her feet, wiped her eyes, and then indicated they should go to the medical hospital. After some time, there was a dull sound, and the next thing that Addison knew, a physician and two nurses had entered the room. The doctor applied a charge to her mother's chest while holding the paddles of a defibrillator in her hands. When the physician attempted to revive Addison's mother's lifeless corpse, and nothing happened, Addison's eyes widened, and she felt a tremor. However, her mother's body did not regain consciousness.

"Please, Mom, don't treat me like this! Do I have it right, Mom? You Always Wanted a Grandchild! Because I am pregnant, I beg you to fight for your future grandchild," Addison yelled, even though her mother could not hear her. She desired to force her way inside, take the doctor's place, and bring her mother back to life alone.

The slits in Felicity's eyes became wider. She gave Addison an angry look while covertly clenching her fist, and then she turned her focus to look at Addison's toned tummy.

"This whore, she's carrying Gideon's child?! "She let out a low hiss in her head.

When the doctor went outside and began speaking, she was just about to approach Addison, "We were diligent in our efforts to bring the patient back to life. However, she passed away due to a deadly heart attack that she suffered. I am so sorry for your loss, Mrs. Smith. Please accept my condolences."

The news of her mother's passing caused Addison to shut off all communication, storm into the room, and weep openly at the loss of her mother. She sobbed her eyes out inconsolably. After Landon Baker abandoned the family, she was only left with her mother and has now lost her. There was no sign of Addison. She was at a loss for what action to take next. Without her mother, she had lost a significant portion of her soul.

Behind her, Addison was able to feel Felicity's hand. Felicity stroked her back until she started crying while holding her in her arms. She was under the impression that Felicity had developed. She did not desert her in any way. Instead, she remained by her side until the other person had regained her composure.

On the other hand, as soon as Gideon received a message from Addison, he made his way to the hospital as quickly as possible. He postponed everything, although he had a mountain of work to do because he was aware of the intense feelings that his wife was experiencing at the time. As soon as he arrived, he made a beeline for the emergency department. His anxiety caused his brow to sweat, his palm to become ice cold, and his entire body to shake. That is until Gideon noticed Felicity standing outside the room.

The woman started crying as she ran towards him. "...Chiara was nowhere to be found..." The change in Felicity's expression caused Gideon to look at her briefly. But as soon as Felicity opened her mouth, Gideon was taken aback and withdrew himself.

"Concerning Addison is high on my list...

She had been in a state of mourning for several hours. There is a risk that her emotional instability will have an effect on your child because —"

Gideon was so shocked that he felt as though a bomb had gone off right in front of him. "What? My wife may be expecting a child?" Gideon asked. Before Felicity could react, Gideon immediately turned around and went toward her.

Felicity's eyes grew wide as she peered through the window and watched as Gideon offered comfort to his wife. She said while balling her fist, "What a picture of a family could not be more wonderful."

"However, eventually, Addison... it will be you wrapped in a white sheet and sleeping next to your mother's grave."

She was counting down the minutes until Addison was no longer a part of their story so that she could begin a fresh chapter with Gideon. In her state of ambition, Felicity could picture herself sitting on Gideon's lap, the two of them living a contented married life, and everyone who tried to stand in her way would be put to death.

Later on, as the door opened, Felicity stopped moving when she saw Gideon, who appeared to be anxious. Gideon did not object when Felicity gave him a seat next to her, and he took it. Sitting next to her, he ran his fingers through his hair. When Felicity saw that he had several beads of perspiration on his forehead, she offered him a handkerchief and extended her hand to him.

Gideon muttered "thank you" as he reached for the handkerchief and wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Felicity beamed joyfully and was about to say something when Gideon interrupted and silenced her. "We appreciate your choice to stay with Addison. I don't know what I'll do to myself if you're not there to console my wife when she has a breakdown, especially if her emotions affect her or our child. I don't know what to do if you're not there."

When Felicity took hold of Gideon's hand, it caused him to pause for a while. "It's nothing, Addison was like a sister to me, and I wanted to make up for all that I've done in the past," Felicity stated thoughtfully with a trace of concern in her eyes. "It's nothing, but I wanted to make up for everything I've done in the past."

Felicity gave Addison, still sobbing inside the room, a sidelong glance as she cocked her head and looked away. If showing compassion for Addison's suffering could bring her and Gideon together as a couple, then you should do it. Felicity would carry it through and be confident that Gideon would give in to her cruel designs again.

Nevertheless, she still has two tasks that she needs to perform. First, it is necessary to terminate the pregnancy of the unborn first kid by inducing a miscarriage in Addison, and then it is necessary to get rid of Addison.
