Chapter 4

Ronnie felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Edwina. He knew that Edwina was angry, so he apologized, “I'm sorry Edwina, I should not have left you alone in the hospital and I came so late. It's my fault.”

Edwina was not interested in Ronnie's apology at all. She just thought in her heart that Penelope would come to pick her up and leave on another day.

Edwina forced herself to calm down and said calmly, “I want to go home.”

Ronnie nodded and said, “Okay, okay, let's go home now.”

Ronnie packed up Edwina's things, completed the discharge procedures and took Edwina away.

In the car, Ronnie kept talking to Edwina, but Edwina did not say a word in response.

After entering the villa, Diane greeted Edwina enthusiastically, “Edwina is back. I cut some fruit for you. Come and have some.”

Edwina did not want to pay attention to Diane and walked straight to her bedroom.

Diane's eyes instantly turned red after being ignored by Edwina. Seeing this, Ronnie frowned and said, “Edwina, Diane is greeting you, why don't you say anything?”

Not to mention Diane, even Ronnie was being ignored by her.

Edwina went upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door heavily.

Diane said aggrievedly, “Is Edwina still angry with me?”

Ronnie felt very strange looking at the closed bedroom. He felt that Edwina seemed a little different from before.

Ronnie wiped Diane's tears, “Don't think too much, Edwina cannot see, maybe she's in a bad mood, it's not because of you.”

Diane sniffed and said, “Then let's take Edwina with us to the class reunion tonight. She is blind and it is inconvenient for him to be alone at home. Although there is a nanny, I am still worried.”

Ronnie smiled and said, “Okay, I'll listen to you.”

Edwina returned to the bedroom and wanted to pack up her things, but she was so sleepy that she fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Edwina was woken up by Ronnie, who said gently, “Edwina, wake up. I'll take you to the party.”

Edwina was still in a daze when Ronnie picked her up and carried her into the car.

By the time she was fully sober and wanted to refuse, the driver had already started the car.

Edwina frowned and asked, “Where are we going?”

Diane explained, “Ronnie and I are going to attend a class reunion together. We are worried about you being alone at home, so we took you with us.”

Edwina whispered, “I'm not going.”

Ronnie said gently, “Don't make trouble, be good. Let's just go sit for a while and go back soon, okay?”

Edwina knew that Ronnie would not change his mind and there was no point in saying more, so Edwina simply kept her mouth shut.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them got out of the car together. 

When they entered the private room, everyone could not help but make a noise when they saw Diane and Ronnie coming in together, but the moment they saw Edwina, they shut up.

Ronnie pulled the chair away and helped Edwina sit down.

After sitting Edwina down, he pulled the chair beside him away and let Diane sit on the other side of him.

As soon as Diane sat down, someone started to make a noise, “Diane, we have not seen each other for so many years, I miss you so much. Come on, have a drink!”

Diane blushed and hesitated to speak. Ronnie took the wine on Diane's table and said, “She just had surgery a while ago and cannot drink. I'll drink it for her.”

The old classmate on the opposite side insisted, “Hey, hey, hey, how can that be possible? This cup of wine is a toast to girls after all, what's the point of a grown man drinking it? If Diane cannot drink it, or let Edwina take her place.”

Chapter 5

After hearing this, Edwina finally understood.

They actually did not care about drinking toast. Once seeing Ronnie came with two women beside him, those people wanted to know who the man favored more. 

Edwina sat there without moving. Ronnie looked at Edwina with embarrassment, then pushed the wine in front of Edwina and said, “Edwina, Diane had an operation last month and cannot drink. You can help her drink it.”

Edwina asked back, “Did you forget? I was just discharged from the hospital this morning too.”

Ronnie was choked for a moment and Diane pretended to come to his rescue, saying, “It's okay. Edwina did have surgery yesterday. I'll drink this glass of wine myself.”

“No, your body cannot handle it. Edwina's surgery is on her eyes, so drinking won't be a problem.”

After saying that, Ronnie put the wine into her mouth, pinched Edwina's chin with his hand and passed the wine into Edwina's mouth mouth to mouth.

Edwina did not expect Ronnie to be like this. She did not react for a moment and swallowed the whole glass of white wine.

When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but make a noise.

Edwina choked a little and could not help coughing. She stood up immediately, but Ronnie grabbed Edwina and asked, “Where are you going?”

“To the bathroom.”

“You cannot see, I'll accompany you.”

“No, there’s a waiter. Edwina brushed away Ronnie's hand and went to the bathroom on her own.

Edwina wanted to vomit out the wine, but she had not eaten much and after vomiting for a long time, nothing came out.

Edwina thought about how Ronnie had forced her to drink a whole glass of white wine for Diane.

Who knows what he might do to hurt Diane in the future. 

But fortunately, she would be leaving soon.

Edwina returned to the box and was about to push open the door when she heard the conversation inside the box.

“Ronnie, why did you bring a blind man to your class reunion?”

“That's right, Ronnie. Back then, you broke up with Diane and Diane married your brother out of spite. Then you turned around and found Edwina, who looked a bit like Diane, to temporarily relieve your longing for her.”

“Now that your brother has passed away, Diane has become a widow at a young age. I would say that you should quickly divorce that blind man and be with Diane.”

“I also think that you and Diane are the most suitable for each other in this world!”

Diane interrupted, “Don’t say that, guys. Ronnie and I are a thing of the past.”

“Do you dare to say that you don’t love Ronnie?”

“I...” Diane blushed and lowered her head.

Diane's reaction was like a stimulant and everyone kept urging them to kiss each other.

Everyone's words continued to irritate Edwina. She was obviously Ronnie's legally married wife, so why did they see her as the third party who interfered with the relationship between Diane and Ronnie?

Edwina did not want to play along with them anymore, so she turned around and left.

The driver saw Edwina and asked in confusion, “Madam, is the party over?”

“No, it's still going on. I don't want to stay here anymore. Send me back.”

The driver responded, started the car and drove back to the villa.

When the car was halfway through the journey, Edwina suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Edwina groaned a few times, “Madam, what's wrong with you?”

The driver saw through the mirror that Edwina's white skirt was now bright red. “Madam!”

“Go... go to the hospital.”

After saying this, Edwina fell into a deep faint.

When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital again.

Seeing Edwina open her eyes, Ronnie asked in surprise, “Edwina, are you awake?”

Edwina asked weakly, “What's wrong with me?”

Hearing this, Ronnie lowered his head in shame and choked up, “You had a miscarriage. The doctor said that you may never get pregnant again in this life. 

“Edwina, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should not have forced you to drink that glass of wine.

“I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry for you, Edwina.”

Miscarriage? Edwina was stunned as if she was struck by lightning.

She once wanted a baby so much, but when the baby was finally here, she did not protect it well.

In fact, she loved children so much, but she could never get pregnant in this life.

It was all Ronnie’s fault.

Edwina cried bitterly and kept beating Ronnie, “It's all your fault, it's all your fault! You are the murderer who killed my baby. Why don't you just die? Die!”

Ronnie hugged Edwina tightly with a distressed look in his eyes and apologized repeatedly, “I'm sorry Edwina, it's all my fault, but it doesn't matter if we don't have a child, we can live alone.

“If you like children, we can adopt one in the future, right? Don't be sad, okay?”

Ronnie and Edwina completely disappeared and she would never forgive Ronnie in her life.

In the future? Edwina sneered in her heart. They had no future.

Chapter 6

“I know you don't like being in the hospital, can we go home?” Ronnie coaxed softly.

Edwina did not say a word to Ronnie and let Ronnie take her back to the villa.

It was already late at night when they returned to the villa. Edwina was weak and exhausted, so she turned her back on the bed and began to sleep.

Ronnie said this to Edwina in a flattering way. Seeing that Edwina ignored him, Ronnie sighed and could only take the initiative to hug she to sleep.

Edwina felt sick, but she really did not have the energy to struggle. She just wanted to go to bed early. When she woke up, Penelope would come to pick her up.

She was awakened by thirst in the middle of her sleep. She was still feeling uncomfortable and wanted Ronnie to pour her some water, but Ronnie had disappeared.

She frowned and could only grope her way downstairs to get some water.

But when passing by Diane's room, Edwina heard a slight panting sound from inside the room.

She was furious and pushed open the door, “What are you doing?”

Edwina suddenly opened the door and scared Diane, who could not help but scream out in surprise.

Ronnie did not expect Edwina to wake up, so he lied, “Edwina, there are bugs in Diane's room. I'm here to help her…."

She yelled, “Ronnie, do you think I'm a fool? I'm blind, but my ears are very useful! We just lost a child and you have the mind to sleep with another woman here?

“Ronnie, do you have a heart?”

Ronnie quickly got out of bed and grabbed Edwina's hand, explaining, “Edwina, it is not what you think. My brother died and my sister-in-law became a widow. She just wants to have a child, otherwise her second half of life will be so difficult.

“Besides, the doctor said that you will never be able to have children again. I did this because I don't want our family to be extinct.”

Edwina used all her strength to slap Ronnie in the face and yelled, “Ronnie, you only listen to what you are saying, right?”

Seeing Ronnie being beaten, Diane stepped forward and looked at him distressedly, “Ronnie, are you okay?”

Ronnie shook his head. Diane looked at Edwina and said, “I'm sorry, Edwina. It's all my fault. I came up with this idea. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Do not be angry with Ronnie.”

Edwina slapped Diane in the face and yelled, “Stop pretending to be pitiful here!”

Diane did not expect Edwina would actually do something to her. She covered her face and tears instantly burst out.

Ronnie saw Diane being beaten, he pushed Edwina to the ground and shouted, “Edwina, why are you crazy? As a woman, Diane just wants a child, why are you so stingy?”

Edwina collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face as she scolded, “I'm stingy? Ronnie, our child died because you forced me to drink for this woman. Now you are here with the murderer who killed our child, are you worthy of our child?”

Ronnie felt pain when Edwina poked him, but he did not say anything.

Edwina stood up with great effort, holding on to the floor and sneered, “Ronnie, you really disgust me.”

After saying that, Edwina turned back to the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Edwina fumbled to pick up her phone and sent a voice message to her bestie, “Come pick me up early this morning.”

She did not want to stay in this place for even a second.
