Chapter 55
Xander relented. “Fine, I’ll tell you. When Allison was sent to the emergency room, she was diagnosed to be pregnant, and there was a risk of miscarriage. When she was transferred to
she was already bleeding.
me,
“I told her that the chances of her miscarrying were high, but she insisted and begged that I save the baby.
“She had to endure so much suffering to save the baby. Her early pregnancy symptoms were so severe that she would throw up just from drinking water. Even so, she insisted on staying in the hospital to save the baby.”
Xander stared at Shane. “I’m just curious. As her fiancé, how did you manage to not even visit her once, given that you’ve been visiting the hospital every day?”
“I…” Shane could not explain himself. He was filled with humiliation.
“I heard that someone pushed Allison before she came to the hospital. Who could’ve been so evil as to have laid a finger on a pregnant lady?”
Shane’s expression worsened. I had a feeling that something clicked inside his head.
Regarding the confrontation I had with Amber at the coffee shop, I had clearly explained to Shane that everything had been caught on the surveillance camera this time. It was all an act by Amber.
Instead of believing me, he pushed me to the ground, which led to my hospitalization.
In his eyes, I was just a manipulative liar. How could he have ever imagined that I would be injured and hospitalized just from him pushing me?
There was finally some guilt on Shane’s face. He lowered his head and stared at his hands, murmuring to himself, “I didn’t know. I really didn’t know that she was pregnant. I’d just
I… been too anxious at the time,
“I knew it. It really was you.” Xander sneered, “Mr. Lundberg, do you remember what your promise was when I let Allison go? You said you would treat her well for the rest of your life. It’s only been a couple of years since.
“I can’t believe you actually pushed your pregnant wife for another woman. So this is your vow, huh?”
Shane had long lost the conviction he had earlier. He looked at Xander with unease and asked, “why did she miscarry when the fetus was already saved?”
“You should be asking your sister this question. During the days of caring for the fetus, Allison obeyed the doctors‘ orders and stayed in bed to protect the fetus. Even when she threw up really badly, she would still push herself to eat
Chapter 55
“She did not even wince from receiving the injections needed to protect her baby. She fought with all her might to keep her child, and yet as soon as your sister showed up, she miscarried.”
Even up till this point, Shane still believed in Amber. He unwittingly advocated for her, “She wouldn’t. There must be some misunderstanding here. Abbie’s such a kind person.
“She would never hurt Allison. After all, she is her sister.”
Both Xander and I sneered. The same thing happened every single time.
Shane would always persecute me without even bothering to find out the truth. When it came to Amber, he would unwittingly give her the benefit of the doubt.
It would not even be difficult to guess who held a more important position in his heart.
Xander crossed his arms and said, “Since you think this has nothing to do with her, I have nothing more to say.”
Shane made a phone call. Very quickly, he had gotten his hands on the surveillance footage for that fateful day.
The surveillance camera could not record from inside the ward. It only showed Amber walking into the ward. Not long after, I was seen crawling out like a ghost.
There was a thick trail of blood underneath me.
Another person appeared in the footage. It was Shane’s uncle, Damon.
I could only remember seeing a pair of expensive men’s leather shoes on a wheelchair before I passed out. It was only through the surveillance footage that I realized how terrifying Damon’s expression was at the time.
Shane clicked on the mouse. The footage paused at the scene where I had crawled into the hallway. He stared at it for a long time with a flustered look.
I couldn’t tell what he was thinking about.
Was it regret? Was it frustration? Or could it be a tiny bit of heartache?
He held the mouse tightly in his hand. His voice trembled greatly as he asked, “She must have been really afraid during the surgery, right?”
“The operation was short. My colleague is a professional. They cleaned her up well. Don’t wor She wasn’t in pain for too long. However….
Xander locked his stare on Shane. “As for the pain inside her heart, how long do you think it lasted?”
