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.

Chapter 7

Another sleepless night.

The next morning, Edwina was forcing herself to pack a few things when suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

She originally thought it was Ronnie, but after taking a look at his general figure, Edwina frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Diane smiled and said, “Of course I'm here to help you.”

Edwina said in a deep voice, “I don't need your help.”

Diane was still smiling, “Hey, don't be anxious. Since you gave me a kidney, I will be merciful and tell you a secret. Ronnie married you because he and I broke up and you look a bit like me.

“Besides, there was no kidnapping at all. This was all a play directed and performed by Ronnie to deceive you. His purpose was to replace your kidney with mine.”

Edwina already knew all this, but she did not understand why Diane wanted to tell her these things that day.

She asked with a cold face, “What do you mean by telling me these things?”

“Do you want to know whether Ronnie loves you or me?”

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the kitchen and the next second the nanny downstairs screamed, “Ah! There's a fire!”

Edwina stared at Diane with eyes wide open, “What are you doing?”

“Of course, I'm helping you test who your beloved husband loves more. When it comes to a matter of life and death, will Ronnie save you first, or me?”

Diane suddenly kicked Edwina hard. Edwina, who was already weak from the miscarriage, fell to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain.

Diane smiled and said, “If Ronnie had not saved you, this fire today would have been your death. You and your short-lived child will go to hell together!”

After saying that, Diane turned and left. Edwina felt as if her whole body was twisted in pain and she had no strength at all.

Thick smoke kept pouring in through the crack in door.

Ronnie's anxious voice came from the stairs on the second floor, “Diane! Diane, where are you?

“Diane, Diane, wake up! I'll take you to the hospital!”

Then, there was another sound of hurried footsteps coming down the stairs, followed by the sound of a car starting outside the villa.

Yes, Edwina lost. After seeing Diane unconscious, Ronnie would not be able to see her at all.

Edwina's eyes fell on the wedding photo hanging above their bed.

Her eyesight was not good that moment and she could no longer see the faces of the two people above.

Edwina looked around and saw all the things in the room, big and small, from the wardrobe to the curtains, were arranged by Ronnie according to his preferences.

Before, she was blinded by Ronnie's exquisite intentions and did not see that this marriage was already rotten.

Thick smoke swirled before her eyes, but ironically, it made everything sharper, clearer.

She saw clearly and understood that Ronnie did not love her.

If love had never existed, then she would be the one to bury everything with her own hands.

Edwina forced herself to stand up little by little.

She picked up the dressing stool and smashed it hard against the wedding photo. The glass shattered without a single blow, just like her love with Ronnie.

Edwina took the various skin care oils on the dressing table and splashed them on the photos on the wall and the rest spilled on the ground.

She found the lighter in the bedside table and looked at the wedding photo in agony, “Ronnie, I don't care about the love you gave me anymore.”

The next second, Edwina pressed the lighter and the fire spread along the oil onto the wedding photo. The photo fell to the ground due to the fire and the house began to burn.

Looking at the raging fire in the house, Edwina could not help but burst into laughter, laughing wildly.

Her legs went limp as she seemed to have lost all the strength to laugh, but she knew she did not want to die there.

Edwina tried hard to support her body and climbed out of the villa little by little.

The time she breathed in the fresh air, she seemed to be reborn.

A shout came from a distance, “Edwina!”

Edwina recognized that it was Penelope's voice.

Penelope came to pick her up.

Penelope quickly helped she up from the ground and asked with concern, “What happened to you? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”

Edwina shook her head and said, “I'm fine. Let's leave here first. I don't want to come back anymore.”

Penelope vaguely felt that something was wrong with Edwina, but since she did not want to say it, she did not ask any more questions.

As soon as she got in the car, Edwina took out her mobile phone and Penelope helped her open Ronnie's dialog box.

Edwina clicked on the voice message and said, “Ronnie, let's get a divorce. I don't want you anymore.”

Afterwards, she blocked and deleted Ronnie and formatted her phone, completely cutting off everything related to Ronnie.
