Widowed by Deceit

It was as if the child in my belly was not his. He only thought about Kelly Moore and got my blood. He even scolded me, "I know you can't accept the pain of losing your husband, but please look carefully, I am Leister Bennet! As long as you are willing to donor your blood to save Kelly, your child can call me daddy when he is born!"

He ignored my pale face and clamped me tightly. He then asked the nurse to draw my blood quickly.

All my struggles were useless. Since he saved my life, I just regarded this as the last time to repay the Bennet Family. I suppressed my panic and let the bright red blood flow into the blood bag.

After drawing blood, he didn't even say thank you and ran away with the blood bag.

Facing his anxious back, I gently said, "Victor, we are even!"

A dizziness came over me and I fainted on the bed completely. When I woke up again, my colleague, Isla Hill, was giving me nutrient water while blaming me.

"When will your healthy head be working out? That scumbag, Victor, is dead. Why do you still care about his Bennet Family? Your husband was just buried yesterday and his elder brother and his wife were in the emergency room. If you don't know, you would think they got married last night!"

I couldn't help but sneer. For Victor, last night was just a wedding, wasn't it?

He finally outlasted his elder brother and got rid of me, a dog-skin plaster. It would be strange if he wasn't excited to be able to get what he wanted and become Kelly's husband.

Seeing me laughing, Isla thought I was going to speak for Victor again and immediately pinched my lips. "No more speaking, or I will scold you for the entire day. In matter of fact, Victor is dead. Maybe this is the retribution for his philandering!"

"In my opinion, there is no good man in the Bennet Family. It's outrageous that his brother and his wife almost killed someone on the day of their brother's funeral. Why do they want to draw your blood? Isn't your life still a life? Even if Victor saved your life, you have been working like a cow and a horse for him all these years. You have already paid it back. Now he’s dead and so was your child. You can get a fresh start!"

I smiled and listened to Isla defending me. I hoarsely said, "Don't worry, from today on, I will only live for myself."

Hearing that I gave in, Isla was shocked. She touched my forehead to confirm that I was not talking nonsense. She then hugged me and coaxed, "Alecia, finally you got it!"

More than getting it, I wanted to leave forever.

After Isla left, I made a phone call, "Hey, do you still mean what you said last time about marrying me?"

The phone was silent for a moment and then it was ecstatic, "Yes, absolutely. I always mean it. You know I always wanted to marry you. I will come back to pick you up."

Adam Goyle was isolated from the news in Africa and he might not know that I had become a widow. However, his words were enough.

"You don't have to come back, just wait for me for half a month. I need to take care of everything here, then I come to Africa to work as a doctor without borders with you."

After the words fell, Victor unexpectedly pushed the door open with chicken soup. In the meantime, I didn't want to worry Adam, so I hung up the phone quickly.

"How can you go to Africa when you are pregnant?"

It turned out that he didn't hear me say that I had a miscarriage yesterday.

"I’m afraid that you heard me wrong, brother."

The new name made Victor pause and put down the chicken soup.

"Well, thank you for what happened this morning. This is the chicken soup that mom made for you and Kelly. Enjoy it while it's hot," he coldly said and immediately put down the chicken soup and left, as if he was afraid that I would discover his secret.
