Chapter 7

I was strapped to the chair in the blood donation room, powerless to stop the nurse from sticking the needle into my arm.

"Josephine, people have to pay for their mistakes."

"Even if it drains every last drop of your blood today, you'll have to accept it!"

Seeing that I was tied to the blood donation room and unable to struggle, Jacob seemed satisfied.

Without another glance, he turned and walked out.

I slumped in the chair, completely giving up the struggle, my face pale as I watched my blood slowly drain away.

After 400cc had been drawn, I thought it would finally be over.

Who knew that Jacob would return to the blood donation room, his face etched with anxiety.

"Sadie's condition isn't good. 400cc isn't enough, we need 1000cc!"

Upon hearing this, the nurse exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Gilmore, 1000cc is beyond a person's limit! Your wife will die!"

"I said, draw her blood and you'll do it! If you don't want to, I'll find someone else!"

The Gilmores were very famous in New York City.

The nurse was too frightened to argue and had no choice but to obey.

As my blood flowed out, my vision gradually blurred and I couldn't even hear the frantic beeping of the medical equipment beside me.

In a trance, I remembered that Jacob took Jasmine out and did not keep an eye on Jasmine.

Jasmine had rushed onto the road and been hit by a passing car. She had suffered severe bleeding on the spot. She was given a critical condition notice, needing a blood transfusion to survive.

The hospital only had 400cc of Rh-negative blood back then, which was far from enough for Jasmine.

I begged Jacob to find a way to save Jasmine, but he didn't even look at her. He just said he had something to do in the company and turned away coldly.

In the end, I had no choice but to use my own blood to save Jasmine.

After that, Jasmine stayed in the hospital for half a month and Jacob didn't even call to ask.

Now, his first love's daughter got sick and he was panicking.

Sadie had no blood relation to him at all. I really wanted to ask him who exactly his biological daughter was.

The amount of blood drawn was too much and coupled with my alcohol allergy, I ended up staying in the hospital for three days.

During this time, Jacob never came to see me again.

It was Selena who sent me several provocative text messages.

[You really are tough. Even after losing that much blood, you're still alive. But what's the point? Jacob is with my Sadie every day.]

Chapter 8

She attached a photo of Jacob feeding Sadie.

[His heart is with me now. How do you still have the nerve to hold onto the title of Mrs. Gilmore? Hurry up and get lost.]

Attached was a photo of two hands clasped tightly together. Jacob's face wasn't visible, but I recognized the limited edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

My heart had long since shattered, dying along with Jasmine. There were no more ripples in my soul.

I calmly read the text messages, taking screenshots of each one and sending them to my lawyer.

The day I was discharged from the hospital happened to be the fifth day. I went directly to the law firm.

Rose had already organized all the documents and handed them to me.

"Ms. Sorensen, I received your brother's request before. I've been working through the night for five days to organize all the information you sent. Rest assured, I guarantee you will win your divorce lawsuit."

I nodded. "Thank you, I appreciate your help."

Rose then handed me a plane ticket. "This is what your brother asked me to give you. The departure time is in three hours, so please hurry to the airport."

Before going to the airport, I still had to return home to collect my luggage.

When I arrived back at the villa, I saw all my belongings thrown outside.

Selena was directing the household housemaids to move things. It looked like she had moved her entire home in.

Seeing me, Selena even greeted me warmly, "Josephine, you're back."

As if she were the mistress of the house.

Jacob came out of the main bedroom carrying Sadie, saying coldly, "Sadie's condition is still unstable and needs someone to take care of her. During this time, she will be staying in your main bedroom. Pack up your and your daughter's things today and move to another house. You cannot return to the villa during this time without my permission."

Jacob thought I would make a big scene again, but I did nothing.

I nodded, picked up my luggage from the ground and turned to leave.

I took a taxi to the airport and called Rose. "Let's begin by fully exposing Jacob's misconduct."

Not long after, my phone started vibrating frantically.

Jacob kept calling me.

His angry voice erupted when I answered, "I knew you weren't that reasonable! You're spreading everywhere that I cheated and don't care about my own daughter."

I interrupted him, "Jacob, this is just the beginning."

With that, I hung up the phone and blocked Jacob.

Then I pulled out the SIM card, threw it in the trash and boarded my flight!
