After being married to Gerry for five years, he pretended to have amnesia to save his childhood sweetheart Jennifer who was suffering from leukemia. He forced me to donate bone marrow despite being three months pregnant.
After the miscarriage, I heard Gerry's confidant talking to him in a low voice outside the ward.
"Mr. Wildblood, the doctor said that your wife is already weak. If she loses this pregnancy, she may have difficulty getting pregnant again. If she knows that you have not lost your memory..."
"Anne won't know. Besides, she and I still have many years to make up, but Jennifer's condition can't wait a moment. I can't watch Jennifer die."
After knowing the truth, I completely gave up and boarded a plane to fly overseas. Gerry went crazy. He threw away his noble and proud character and humbly begged me to love him again.

When I left the hospital, my tears kept rolling down my pale face like a dam bursting.
I stumbled all the way and returned home in a daze.
Miss Nancy opened the door for me. She was startled when she saw me and came to help me.
"What happened, ma'am? I'll go and inform Mr. Wildblood right now!"
Miss Nancy was about to touch her phone when I grabbed her wrist.
"Don't look for him!" I said hoarsely.
Perhaps it hurt her or maybe she was scared by me, Miss Nancy looked even more flustered. She promised not to look for Gerry. But after helping me sit on the sofa, she hid aside and made a phone call. While she was talking, she secretly glanced at me. I didn't need to ask who she was contacting.
I didn't feel like caring about her. I cried in front of the wedding photo on the wall. In the photo framed in a gold frame, Gerry and I smiled at each other, our eyes full of love, as if this happiness could last forever.
We met on a group trip in college. During the mountain climbing, I accidentally fell down. Gerry pulled me up despite the danger, but he broke his arm. Since then, he had been shining like a hero in my eyes. With my unremitting efforts, the taciturn iceberg male god Gerry finally agreed to become my boyfriend.
We had been in a good relationship from school uniforms to wedding dresses and we were a model couple that everyone envied. In terms of family background, we were also evenly matched and our two businesses could also help each other. Everyone said that we were a match made in heaven and a perfect match.
At the end of last year, I was found out that I was pregnant and I was very happy. I was grateful to God for finally giving us the fruit of our love. But all these beautiful dreams were completely shattered after Gerry's childhood sweetheart Jennifer came back from a divorce abroad.
When we met for the first time, Jennifer took Gerry's arm in front of me and kissed him twice on both cheeks.
In my shocked eyes, Jennifer showed me a provocative smile.
"Gerry and I grew up together as good friends. It's normal for us to kiss and hug each other. Don't worry. If anything happens, it won't be your turn." She said lightly
In response, Gerry just smiled at her lovingly and didn't give me any explanation.
After that, whenever Jennifer called, Gerry would come whenever and wherever she wanted, completely ignoring the fact that I was pregnant at home. I cried and made a fuss about this, but Gerry just said, "Jennifer is in poor health and is depressed after her divorce. As a friend, I can't ignore her."
If he had restrained himself before, he completely lost his fear after "losing his memory" in the car accident. He stayed out all night and ignored me. Countless times, I saw Jennifer's updates on my Moments late at night, all of which were of her holding hands with Gerry, or even lying intimately in his arms, eating the fruit he fed her.
Whenever Jennifer attended an event, Gerry would stay by his side, not even looking at me. It was as if they were the inseparable couple and everyone else was an unnecessary third party.
I had always deceived myself into thinking that as soon as the child was born, Gerry might be awakened by fatherly love and come back to me. But even this humble expectation was now killed by him!
When I was in despair, Miss Nancy came to my side with red eyes.
"Madam, I told Mr. Wildblood about your situation and begged him to come back to see you, but he scolded me instead. He said you were just acting a sad drama, trying to force him to bow his head by asking for favors. He hung up the phone without giving me a chance to explain and never answered the next call." Her tone became lower and lower and she even wiped away tears.
"You are still pregnant, how can Mr. Wildblood be so cruel? He was fine a few months ago."
The corners of my mouth curled up sarcastically.
Yes, a few months ago, Gerry, who just knew that I was pregnant, was so happy that he was like a big boy who got a favorite gift. He hugged me and turned around several times, holding my face and kissing me again and again.
I had a picky appetite and I ate less because of discomfort after pregnancy. In order to coax me to eat more, Gerry, who had never touched water since childhood, learned to cook for me. Even if his hands were either cut or burned, he never complained, just hoping that I could eat more.
In order to prepare everything that might be needed during pregnancy and delivery, the degree of attentiveness was so great that even my own mother could not compare to him. Every day after work, he would lie on my belly to listen to the baby's movements and read fairy tales to the baby for prenatal education.
But such a good man, after that "car accident", coldly pushed me away when I cried and wanted to hug him.
"Madam, I don't know you at all, please respect yourself!"
As soon as Jennifer appeared, he rushed up and took her into his arms like a lover. With the cover of amnesia, Gerry no longer needed to care about my feelings. He often got close to Jennifer in front of me and they were so close that they wanted to stick together.
In order to treat Jennifer's leukemia, Gerry repeatedly ordered me to do matching when I was still pregnant, just because we both have panda blood, which was one in a million. He used to feel distressed when he saw my finger skin broken, but now he didn’t frown even when he saw me being drawn to miscarriage.
If Gerry really had amnesia, I could still comfort myself, at least his love for me was not fake. But now, I couldn’t tell whether he really loved me.
Just when I was crying and silent, there was a loud bang from the door being kicked open.
A burst of hurried footsteps came towards the sofa and Miss Nancy said happily, "Mr. Wildblood, you are finally back, Madam..."
Miss Nancy's words were not finished and she was interrupted by a slap.
Gerry slapped me hard in the face, grabbed my collar and glared at me fiercely.
"Damn it, what did you do? Jennifer fainted after using your bone marrow!" he shouted at my face.
His eyes were fierce and he wanted to cut me into pieces.
I was a little confused. It was obviously him who forced me to donate bone marrow and he was the one who found the hospital and the doctor. Now that something happened, how dare he ask me?
"How should I know?" I was about to explain, but was pushed to the ground by Gerry.
"Poisonous woman! You must have not prepared according to the doctor's requirements!"
He pointed at me, his face full of resentment.
"I found the top doctors in the country to do the surgery. They perform hundreds of bone marrow transplants every year and have never failed! But something happened to you. You must have taken the medicine on purpose and contaminated your bone marrow!" Gerry roared at me.
At this moment, I suddenly felt weak all over. Even more powerless than when I heard Gerry say that he had not lost his memory. I was really tired.
"Get to the hospital right now and cooperate with the doctor for the examination! If the pairing doesn't work once, do it twice or three times, until you cure Jennifer!"
Gerry pulled me up. But he seemed to have forgotten that I should be resting in the hospital now. The slap just now had made me dizzy and almost unconscious. Now my eyes went black and I fell straight to the ground.
"Madam! Madam!" Miss Nancy shouted in panic.
"Don't worry about her, I want to see how long she can continue to act!" Gerry stopped Miss Nancy and let me fall to the ground.
When I woke up, I was in my room. Miss Nancy fell asleep on the bed. I looked at the time again and it was already late at night.
"Madam, are you awake? How do you feel?" Miss Nancy asked, as she was awakened by me.
I propped myself up and tried to sit up, but the bone-eroding pain in my lower body made me unable to move at all.
"I'm sorry, Madam. Mr. Wildblood won't let me take you to the hospital. He insisted that you were faking it." Miss Nancy started to tear up as she spoke.
"But you are so weak, how could you be faking it? Why did Mr. Wildblood do that?"
Her face was full of bitterness. I smiled bitterly and shook my head.
Since I met Gerry, he had never been so crazy. I had no problem with him and Jennifer being childhood sweethearts. Even if he had the conditions to donate bone marrow to Jennifer, I had no problem. But he should never force me to donate bone marrow to his childhood sweetheart. Even the price was that I lose my child and lose my fertility in the future! I was completely disappointed in him.
"Miss Nancy, did Gerry leave any words?" I took a deep breath and asked calmly.
Hearing this, Miss Nancy hesitated a little, but finally answered truthfully. "Mr. Wildblood said he is waiting for you to apologize in the hospital and asked you to go there as soon as you wake up. But don't worry, we won't tell him when we wake up, just have a good rest, it won't be too late to go to the hospital in the morning."
Miss Nancy smiled helplessly.
I know she was doing this for my own good, but I didn’t want to make it difficult for her. Then I shook my head to indicate that it was okay and got up and got out of bed after a while.
After packing up, I went to the hospital again. Of course, I didn't go to apologize to them.
I went to file for divorce with Gerry.
At the door of the ward, Gerry's confidant, was dozing at the door.
"Who?" He woke up instantly when I passed by.
When he saw it was me, his expression was a little confused, but more panicked.
"Anne Marie, why are you here? Didn't Miss Nancy say you were still unconscious?"
While chatting with me, he fiddled with his mobile phone behind his back.
I didn't say anything nonsense and went around him to enter the ward. But he blocked the door with his hands on the ground.
"Anne, Mr. Wildblood and Miss Watson are resting inside. Can we talk about anything after dawn?" His tone was somewhat warning.
Seeing this, I stopped talking nonsense and called Gerry directly.
