Lawrence's heel paused, and he turned to look at her.
His gaze swept over her pale face, then quickly shifted away, not daring to meet her questioning eyes.
His handsome face rapidly turned cold.
"Susie, this is Rachel."
When the man said the woman's name, his voice was unbelievably tender, as if she were his true love.
Susie's vision was quickly blurred by tears. She opened her eyes wide, not daring to blink, fearing she might cry in front of them and lose her composure.
"Why is she here!"
Her nails dug into her palms as she took several deep breaths to swallow the bitterness. She turned her head and stared at Lawrence's impatient expression.
Dressed in loose pajamas, with the hem fluttering in the wind, she looked like she might collapse at any moment, standing barefoot with feet reddened from the cold.
Lawrence's lips tightened as he averted his gaze, speaking coldly.
"She..."
"Lawrence!" Rachel timidly interrupted him, her voice barely audible and her thin clothes hanging loosely on her, looking pitiful.
"Come inside first!"
Throwing out that sentence, Lawrence hurriedly went inside and ran upstairs.
Susie stood like a statue at the door, not a word of explanation from him, not even a sentence, and he let another woman into their home.
How could he!
Seeing Rachel stepping onto the stairs, her face full of joy as she was about to go inside, Susie blocked her with her body.
"This is my home!"
This woman, the smugness on her face, she didn't miss it.
Yes.
Mockingly smug, as if Susie were an abandoned wife.
Rachel looked at her innocently, with a slight smile.
"This is also Lawrence's home. Whether it will still be yours in the future is uncertain!"
Susie, provoked, felt a surge of anger, raising her hand high to slap her.
But she held back.
However, at that moment, Rachel stumbled backward and fell down the stairs hard.
Ten steps or more.
"Ah ah..."
"Rachel!"
Lawrence's anxious voice approached rapidly. Susie felt a spinning sensation, violently pushed aside. Before she could react, her forehead hit the wall.
A heavy thud, and pain followed.
But nothing was as painful as the scene before her.
"Rachel, are you alright?"
Seeing Lawrence tenderly holding Rachel, looking heartbroken.
She suddenly couldn't breathe.
A suffocating pain in her chest.
"Lawrence, my stomach hurts..." Rachel seemed about to faint, incredibly weak.
Seeing her forehead breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, Lawrence's heart sank. He hurriedly picked up Rachel and ran to the car.
As the door closed, he quickly got into the driver's seat and drove away.
"Lawrence!"
Susie was terrified, but seeing his resolute figure, she panicked even more.
Instinctively calling out to him, but he didn't even glance back.
Her forehead throbbed in pain.
Susie touched it, finding a large bump had already formed.
Seeing the blood on the floor, she didn't care about anything else, grabbed the keys, and drove after them.
She followed all the way to the emergency room at the hospital.
Lawrence stood at the door, his expression serious and worried.
Seeing him so concerned and distressed for another woman, Susie's heart ached, recalling how they had been intimately entwined not long ago.
Noticing her feet were rubbed raw, Lawrence's eyes tightened. He took off his shoes and placed them in front of her feet.
"Put on the shoes!"
Susie instinctively took a step back, not putting them on.
After a long time, she finally asked, her voice trembling.
"What is your relationship with her?"
Lawrence's body stiffened. He turned to look at her, his eyes cold.
"Rachel is in emergency treatment, and you have the mood to ask this!"
Susie was stung by his furious, unfamiliar look, her body recoiling, her legs weak.
She couldn't even manage to curl her lips into a smile.
She stood there, wooden and pathetic.
"Doctor, how is Rachel?"
Lawrence saw the doctor coming out and quickly stepped forward to ask, bumping her shoulder.
"Sorry, the child couldn't be saved!" The doctor's apologetic voice came.
Child!?
Child...
Susie began to tremble all over, feeling the cold closing in from all sides.
