When Agony Fades, Bliss Begins

“Mr. Cervantes, you harvested your wife's kidney to save your sisterinlaw from uremia. And fearing she'd uncover the truth, you orchestrated a cruel act, hiring someone to assault her. Your wife is already living a nightmare.

“Why do you insist on staging a car accident and gouging out your wife's eyes?”

“My sisterinlaw is in critical condition with uremia. They have a matching kidney source. I must save her.

“Diane married my brother out of spite, so I married Edwina as a substitute. I could not let Edwina see Diane's face.

“Anyway, I'm already married to Edwina and will take care of her for the rest of her life. I won't mind her being blind.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Edwina felt as if her heart was being cut into pieces.

Last month, Edwina was kidnapped while shopping with her best friend.

The kidnappers first raped Edwina and sent a provocative video to Ronnie and then dug out one of Edwina's kidneys.

After seeing the video, Ronnie, regardless of his own danger, went to the kidnappers alone and knelt down to beg them to release Edwina.

Ronnie knocked his head and broke it, then gave the kidnappers 30 million as ransom and redeemed Edwina who was lying on the ground.

At that moment, in Edwina's eyes, Ronnie was her salvation.

From that moment on, Edwina swore that she would love Ronnie well and never let him down for the rest of her life.

That day, Edwina was going with Ronnie to pick up his widowed sisterinlaw, but they unexpectedly had a car accident on the road.

As the tragedy happened, Edwina ignored her own safety and protected Ronnie under her at the risk of her life.

But then, after hearing the conversation between Ronnie and the doctor, Edwina finally understood.

It turned out that the kidnapping, the car accident, everything was arranged by Ronnie.

She thought that Ronnie, who loved her dearly, was the one who hurt her.

Even the love that she had always been proud of was nothing more than a substitute game.

“But isn't this a bit too cruel?”

The doctor could not help but want to plead for Edwina, but Ronnie said impatiently, “When my brother died, I promised him that I would take good care of my sisterinlaw. If I had not broken up with Diane out of anger, how could she have married my brother and become a widow now?

“Stop talking nonsense and do as I say now!"

Edwina could no longer hear what was said afterwards because the anesthetic had taken effect and she fell into a deep coma.

Edwina was awakened by the conversation between Diane and Ronnie.

“Ronnie, thank you for giving me Edwina's kidney. If I did not have this kidney, I might be dead now.”

Diane looked at Ronnie with a gentle smile, her eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.

“When you married my brother, I said I would protect you for the rest of your life. Now that my brother is gone, I will not abandon you. What's the point of living or dying? You just have to live a long life.”

Although Ronnie frowned as if blaming him, his tone could not hide the doting.

Edwina could not help but laugh at herself in her heart. Ronnie wanted Diane to live a long life, but he used her body to prolong Diane's life.

Diane blushed and lowered her head for a long time, her eyes gradually turning red as if she was thinking of something.

Ronnie saw Diane's red eyes and said distressingly, “Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?”

Diane shook her head as she answered, “No. It's just that you are too good to me. I wonder if we had not broken up that year, would we be living happily now?

“But you are already married, so nothing can happen.”

Seeing Diane crying, Ronnie's heart tightened and he quickly hugged Diane in his arms as he stated, “But in my heart, there has always been only you and I am only responsible to Edwina.

“Anyway, you will be with me for the rest of your life and we will be the same as before. It's just that I cannot give you my last name.”

Diane snuggled in Ronnie's arms and whispered, “As long as you have me in your heart, the rest of the fame is not important.”

After hearing that, Ronnie scratched Diane's nose lovingly, then he asked, “Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something.”

Diane nodded and the two of them left arm in arm.

Edwina turned her head as she heard the door close. Perhaps the doctor was moved with compassion, as she could still vaguely see something with her right eye.

Looking at the intimate back figure leaving, Edwina's heart ached so much that it became numb and she felt a chill all over her body.

Since the person Ronnie truly loved has returned, she, as a substitute, should leave.

Edwina thought of her best friend who had invited her to develop a new amnesia drug together a few days ago.

Edwina fumbled for her phone and called her bestie by pinning the post, “Penelope, I agree to return to the team and participate in the amnesia drug research and development program.”

Penelope Mercer's incredulous voice came from the other end of the phone, “Are you serious, Edwina? You are the most academically advanced person in our team.

“If you had not gotten married and insisted on quitting academic research to become a housewife, you would definitely have a place in the medical field!

“With your participation, we will surely be able to successfully develop this product and make a big splash.

“It's just that once the R&D plan is launched, we need to isolate ourselves from outside news during the R&D period. Have you really thought about it?"

“Well, I've thought about it,” Edwina confirmed without any hesitation, because this time, she wanted to disappear from the face of the earth and leave no trace of Ronnie.

Hearing Edwina's affirmative answer, Penelope smiled and said, “Okay, the research and development plan will be officially launched in three days. I will go to your house to pick you up and take you to the base at that time.”

Edwina had just hung up the phone when Ronnie and Diane came back from buying food.

Seeing Edwina wake up, Ronnie quickly ran to her side and supported her, saying, “Edwina, you're awake? How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?

“Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water.”

Edwina did not say anything, but just lowered her head and looked quietly at the phone in her hand.

Ronnie thought Edwina was trying hard to see, so he quickly explained, “I’m sorry, Edwina. Because of the car accident, your retina has detached and you will never be able to see again.

“But it's okay. Even if you cannot see, I won't despise you. You still have me. From now on, I will be your eyes. Don't be sad, okay?”

As he spoke, Ronnie's voice even began to sound tearful, as if he was really worried about Edwina.

Edwina could not help but sneer in her heart as she listened to Ronnie's affectionate words.

If she had not heard the truth, she would probably have believed Ronnie's words, thinking that Ronnie was so good to her and would be kept in the dark by Ronnie for her whole life.

Edwina looked up at Ronnie. Her eyesight was not good that moment and she hated herself even more for having bad eyesight before. She had not seen the true face of Ronnie as a scumbag earlier, which led to her current situation.

Ronnie did not know why. He knew Edwina could not see him at that moment, but he still felt guilty when Edwina stared at him.

He reached out his hand to cover Edwina's eyes and said, “Oh, dear, you must be very sad.

“Are you hungry? I bought you some chicken soup. Can I feed you some?”

As he spoke, Ronnie scooped out the chicken soup, cooled it down and handed it to Edwina, “Come on, open your mouth.”

Seeing Ronnie treating Edwina like a child, Diane was so angry that her teeth itched.

She quickly interrupted him and said, “Ronnie, haven't you eaten too? Eat something first and I'll feed Edwina.”

As she spoke, Diane snatched the bowl from Ronnie, pretending to be scalded and accidentally spilled the hot chicken soup on Edwina.

Edwina screamed in pain from the burns and stood up from the bed. However, because she could not see clearly, she stepped on the chicken soup on the floor, slipped and fell.

The IV drip was torn off when she fell to the ground and the needle remained on the back of his hand, bleeding continuously.

Diane also stood up with a cry of surprise as if she was scalded. Seeing this, Ronnie hurriedly pulled Diane's hand with concern and asked distressingly, “How is it? Are you okay?”

Diane shook her head, then looked at Edwina who was lying on the ground and said aggrievedly, “Ah Edwina, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.”

As Diane spoke, Ronnie's sight fell on Edwina who had fallen to the ground. Ronnie helped Edwina up from the ground and seeing her bleeding hand, he quickly called a nurse.

Ronnie was afraid that Edwina would blame Diane, so he quickly defended her, “Edwina, let me introduce you to Diane, my sisterinlaw. She fed you out of kindness, she did not do it on purpose, please don’t blame her.”

Diane pulled Edwina's hand aggrievedly, “I'm sorry Edwina, I really didn't mean it.”

Diane said this while continuously pressing the needle in Edwina's hand.

Edwina shook off Diane's hand in pain.

Diane fell to the ground and said aggrievedly, “Edwina…."

Ronnie quickly helped Diane up and scolded Edwina, “Edwina, what are you doing? I told you that she did not mean it, why did you push her? You're going too far!”

Diane said softly, “It's okay, it's my fault, don't blame Edwina.”

Seeing Ronnie trying hard to protect Diane, Edwina's heart ached again.

Thinking about how Ronnie had been doting on her over the past few years, Edwina had always believed that Ronnie still had some sincerity towards her.

At that time, it seemed that in Ronnie's heart, she was just a substitute.

Tears welled up in her eyes and Edwina thought to herself, there were still three days left.

After watching the nurse treat Edwina's wound, Ronnie said to Edwina calmly, “It's not convenient for Diane to stay in the hospital. I will send her back to the villa to settle down and come to see you later.”

Edwina did not want to stay in the hospital. No matter how many times she got an IV drip, her kidneys would never grow back and her eyes would never recover.

It would be better to go back to the villa early to pack up and prepare to leave in a few days.

Edwina said calmly, “I want to go back. I don't want to stay in the hospital.”

Ronnie thought Edwina could not leave him, so he wanted to go back with him.

He knew that since being kidnapped, Edwina felt very insecure and wanted to stay with him.

But thinking of Edwina's attitude towards Diane just before, Ronnie knew that Edwina must be depressed because she was blind. He was afraid that Edwina would vent her anger on Diane.

Ronnie touched Edwina's head and coaxed her, “Be good, I will pick you up from the hospital tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, Ronnie pulled Diane away.

Before leaving, Ronnie considerately turned off the lights in the room and wished Edwina a good night.

But what Ronnie did not know was that Edwina did not like to turn off the lights to sleep at all. She was most afraid of the dark.

The reason why Edwina turned off the lights when sleeping in the past few years was simply because she was afraid that Ronnie would not have a good sleep.

Edwina could not help but laugh at herself. For so many years, she had been accommodating Ronnie.

Edwina knew that Ronnie had his first love in his heart before.

It was just that she had never seen it before and always thought that this first love was just an excuse for Ronnie to reject her.

So, because of Ronnie's words that he wanted to get married, she gave up her beloved medical research, married Ronnie and became a housewife.

Knowing that Ronnie was picky about food, she learned how to cook a variety of dishes and cooked for him herself.

But then it seemed that all the sincere efforts made over the years are just a joke.

She never thought that Ronnie wanted to marry her as a substitute.

But the substitute was no match for the first love after all.

Edwina curled up in the quilt and did not sleep all night.

The next morning, Edwina waited for Ronnie to pick her up.

She never thought that the reporter would arrive earlier than Ronnie.

Edwina did not know the identities of these people. She could only roughly see that a lot of people rushed into the ward, which scared her.

Edwina exclaimed, “Who are you?!”

The reporters turned on their microphones and began to ask, “Ms. Anderson, we are media reporters. In the early morning, a video of you and a man making love was circulated online. Do you have any explanation for this?”

The reporter turned on the video and held the phone in front of Edwina.

Edwina could not see the content on the phone, but she could hear the familiar voice of the man on the phone.

She knew that this was the kidnapper who had assaulted her.

But the kidnapper was hired by Ronnie, so only Ronnie had the video.

How did this video get out?

Before she could think about it, the reporters started talking at once, “Ms. Anderson, Mr. Cervantes's wedding with you was the wedding of the century. Mr. Cervantes spends a fortune celebrating your birthday every year.

“Mr. Cervantes loves you so much, why did you cheat? Is it because you cannot stand the loneliness?

“Ms. Anderson, you are sick and in the hospital now. Is it because of your undisciplined lifestyle that you got sick?”

The netizens’ sharp questions pierced into Edwina's heart like a sword.

The painful scar was torn open and exposed bloody.

Edwina cried and curled up in the quilt, trying to escape.

But these reporters did not let her go. They lifted the quilt and even a few male reporters took the opportunity to touch Edwina's breasts and ass.

Edwina sat on the edge of the bed, constantly pushing away the hands of several reporters, crying and shouting, “What are you doing? Don't touch me! Go away!”

The male reporter said disdainfully, “Ms. Anderson, we did not do anything. Don't accuse us. Are you trying to be a whore and still want to pretend to be a saint?”

“That's right. Miss Anderson, why is Mr. Cervantes not by your side today? Is it because he saw the video and knew you were a slut, so he doesn't want you anymore?”

The male reporters' vicious words made Edwina feel extremely uncomfortable both physically and psychologically.

Edwina yelled, “This is a private place, get out! Get out!”

Of course, the reporters would not just leave obediently. They even went further and pointed the cameras at various suggestive parts of Edwina and took closeups.

Edwina collapsed and screamed, “Get out!”

“What are you doing?” Ronnie's angry roar came from the door.

Seeing Ronnie coming, the reporters began to surround him and asked, “Mr. Cervantes, have you seen the video of Mrs. Cervantes and another man on the Internet?”

Ronnie frowned and asked, “What video?”

The reporter played the video. When Ronnie saw it, his face turned pale and he growled with a gloomy look in his eyes, “Who is it? Who spread it out?”

The reporter passed the microphone to Ronnie and asked, “Mr. Cervantes, what do you think about Mrs. Cervantes's affair? Can you accept that your significant other is a fickle slut?”

Ronnie kicked the reporter to the ground and said, “Get out! Get the hell out of here! If anyone dares to post the video of the interview with Edwina online, I will chop off his hand.

“Get out while I’m still patient!”

Seeing Ronnie getting angry, the reporters did not dare to say anything more and left the room angrily.

Edwina sat curled up at the head of the bed, sobbing constantly, like a wounded little white rabbit.

When Ronnie saw Edwina's look, his heart ached and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Edwina in his arms.

But Edwina pushed him away and slapped him hard.

Ronnie was a little stunned by being beaten. He thought that Edwina did not know it was him who came forward because she was blind.

Ronnie said softly, “Don't be afraid, Edwina. I'm Ronnie. I'm here. The bad guys have been driven away by me. I'm here. Don't be afraid.”

“I won't abandon you. I will always be by your side.”

Listening to Ronnie's words, Edwina could not help but sneer. The bad guys were driven away by him?

If he had not spread the video, how could these reporters come to interview her?

If he had not picked her up earlier, how could these reporters have bullied her?

Did he really like to play the herosavingthebeauty role?

Edwina stared at Ronnie with hatred that could not be hidden in her eyes.

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.”

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.

“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 sisterinlaw 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.

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 shortlived 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.”
