Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
She had never seen Cornell look so worried about anything.
It wasn’t until a few seconds ago Audrey realized Cornell had never taken her seriously.
The black Bentley started, gathering up a cloud of dust.
An extreme pain came from Audrey’s lower abdomen.
She finally came to her senses. Something dawned on her. She held her belly and cried softly, “Ouch! My baby…”
When her phone rang, Nicole said that she was stuck in the parking lot.
It was as if some sharp teeth were gnarling at her lower abdomen now.
Audrey panicked. She couldn’t get a taxi here, so she had no other option. She stood up, intending to flag down Cornell’s car.
She dragged herself down the steps and waved her hand with all the strength she could muster now.
Unfortunately, the car sped past her and disappeared into the road.
Audrey watched on as it went out of sight.
The pain in her belly worsened. She sank to her knees slowly. Just as the world began to spin, she held her belly with tears in her eyes.
“Baby, I’m so sorry…”
And then, everything went black.
In a private ward.
Cecilia lay whimpering on the bed as a doctor examined her.
Standing in the corridor, Cornell was on the phone. The sunlight fell on his face through the window, reflecting his handsome face.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Clement. I couldn’t find your wife. It seems she left all by herself,” Matteo reported on the phone.
“Okay, I see.”
After hanging up, Cornell couldn’t shake off the image of Audrey falling to the ground after he shoved her aside.
It had happened in the spur of the moment because he was so worried about Cecilia.
He couldn’t recall seeing any injury on her. However, he could remember that she looked hurt later.
Cornell had been worried about her. But since she was nowhere to be found at the restaurant, perhaps she was fine.
He wanted to believe that. Yet, he still felt uneasy and annoyed.
He couldn’t help thinking of Audrey’s red eyes and tearful face.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be worrying about her since she had hurt Cecilia, But then again…
Audrey had been nothing short of a good wife for the past two years.
She never crossed the line. Even though she was married to a powerful. man like him, she never looked down on or tried to harm anyone.
Maybe it was really an accident.
If it was an accident, was there more to it than meets the eye? What role did Cecilia play?
Doubts crisscrossed Cornell’s mind. He looked into the ward through the window as his expression changed slowly.
In the ward minutes Later.
Cecilia held Cornell in her arms as if her life depended on it.
Cornell frowned slightly. He obviously didn’t like this, but considering that she was wounded now, he couldn’t push her away.
“How are you feeling now?” he asked indifferently.
Although those were caring words, Cecilia noticed the coldness in his tone. Her eyes narrowed.
“It doesn’t hurt as much as before,” she replied, looking up at him pitifully.
“What exactly happened, Cecilia?”
Cornell asked that question lightly, but his tone inexplicably made other people feel a chill in their hearts.
“I think it was just an accident. Audrey was kind enough to help me with the wheelchair. Something is probably wrong with it. Please don’t blame her, okay?”
Cecilia sounded so understanding as she explained.
Cornell looked at Cecilia coldly. But a touch of warmth soon crept into his eyes.
He reasoned that he was wrong to have suspected Cecilia.
After patting her on her shoulder, he pulled himself back away from her grip.
“Have a good rest now.”
Lights poured down on Cornell’s dashing face.
Cecilia was fascinated by his look now.
The sneaky devil in her didn’t jump out until Cornell left the ward.
Her smile was instantly replaced by a vicious scowl.
Argh! Cornell suspected her because of Audrey!
Fortunately, Cecilia had come up with a fair explanation before Cornell’s suspicion germinated into mistrust.
She chose to point out there was something wrong with the wheelchair.
In this way, even if Audrey decided to tell on her, Cornell would have no choice but to think Audrey was vicious.
It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Yet, Cecilia was very upset by Cornell’s reaction. The Cornell she knew in the past would never question her for the sake of someone else. Today, he not only questioned but also suspected her because of Audrey.
Cecilia adopted a trick today to gauge the situation. She usually didn’t like to get her hands dirty. If she wanted a person out of her way, she would get someone else to do the dirty work.
At the thought that Cornell had been with Audrey for two whole years, Cecilia’s fingers dug into her palm. Her beautiful face was twisted with anger.
How dare Audrey! Just wait and see! Cornell would be hers again…
There was a pungent smell of a disinfectant in the air.
In a hazy atmosphere, Cornell stared at Audrey with his lips upturned in disgust as he asked, “You are pregnant?”
The next second, he spat ruthlessly, “Abort it immediately!”
“No way!” Audrey screamed. Her eyes suddenly opened and she was drenched in cold sweat.
Everything she saw was white, including the walls, ceiling, and table.
It took Audrey a while to realize she was in a hospital and that scene she just saw was just a dream.
She heaved a sigh of relief. Her breathing soon steadied.
ALL of a sudden, the door was pushed open and someone came in.
The man was slender, handsome, and had on a pair of narrow-edged glasses with a gold frame that made him look rather elegant.
Audrey’s eyes widened in shock. This was the last person she expected to see now.
“What are you doing here, Henley?” she blurted out, her eyebrows arching in confusion.
“Well, I bumped into Nicole in the parking lot earlier. She was having an altercation with someone but was worried about you, so she asked me to look for you first,” Henley explained patiently.
Audrey’s memory flooded her head like a tidal wave. She touched her belly, worried if her baby was in good condition.
She wanted to ask him, but she found it hard to do so. She faltered, “What about my…”
“Don’t worry. The doctor gave you a good checkup. The baby is all right,” Henley answered gently.
Hearing that, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Henley.”
“Don’t mention it,” Henley replied as his eyes darkened.
“I must say that I’m quite surprised that you already got married. Do you want me to call your husband?”
