"Yes, okay... I'm coming over now, don't worry!" Lawrence lowered his gaze, the light streaming in from outside casting dappled shadows on his face, making him seem exceptionally distant.
Susie clutched the diagnosis paper tightly. Such a gentle voice, from the man she deeply loved, but the person he treated with tenderness had become someone else.
A bitterness welled up in her throat.
His eyes briefly swept over her now much thinner frame. Lawrence's gaze tightened for a moment as he put away his phone and spoke to her indifferently.
"The company has been very busy lately, I probably won't be coming back tonight! Make sure to wear more clothes."
With that, he picked up his simple luggage and walked out.
"You..." Seeing him about to leave, Susie hurriedly grabbed his hand, her eyes instantly reddening.
"Are you busy with company matters, or are you with that woman..."
Lawrence shook off her hand, his body straightened, and without looking back, he walked away coldly, not answering her question.
"Lawrence, stop!" Susie, with red eyes, shouted at his retreating back.
It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Lawrence's steps paused slightly, but he continued walking forward.
Seeing the luggage in his hand, Susie felt even more provoked. Seeing his resolute departure, she cried out.
"If you are with that woman, Lawrence, I have hundreds of ways to kill her!"
Susie wiped the tears from her face, her other hand gripping the piece of paper tightly. For the sake of the child, she wouldn't allow that woman to destroy their family.
Lawrence turned back, his gaze cutting coldly at her, his voice harsh and unfeeling.
"Susie, if you dare touch her, you will pay for it!"
Susie swayed, tears streaming down her face. He had become so cold-blooded to her for that woman.
Where was the man who had cherished her for those years?
"Why wouldn't I dare touch her?" she didn't understand.
Susie bit her lip tightly, her vision blurred by tears, unable to see his face clearly.
Why had he become so cruel all of a sudden?
Do all men prefer new affection over the old love?
Seeing the tears on her face, Lawrence felt a pang in his heart, turning his gaze away.
He tightened his grip on the luggage.
Susie laughed bitterly, forcefully wiping away her tears, and said angrily, "She is destroying my family, she is taking my husband, why wouldn't I dare touch her? Just because she is your precious now?"
Lawrence was momentarily stunned.
"I don't want to argue with you!"
When he made his decision, the last person he wanted to hurt was her.
"Do you think your child was lost because of me? Do you hate me for it? No wonder all these years, you didn't want to have a child with me. It turns out I wasn't the one..."
Susie sobbed, feeling like an abandoned woman, desperately clinging to someone who didn't want her anymore.
But his heart was no longer with her, would crying help?
But she couldn't stop the tears, what could she do?
Seeing her face covered in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, Lawrence felt a flash of heartache, his fists clenched, restraining the urge to hug her.
He forcibly turned his gaze away, offering no explanation, coldly warning her.
"Don't touch her!"
Susie stood there, watching him leave, her heart wrenching tighter and tighter, tears flowing uncontrollably.
He didn't love her anymore...
He didn't want her anymore...
Didn't he even want their child?
Child!
"Honey!"
She cried as she ran after him, "… Don't go, okay?"
Lawrence didn't stop, walking quickly out and getting into the car, driving away from the villa.
"Woo woo..."
Susie collapsed in the stairwell, hugging herself tightly, unable to stop the tears, feeling like an abandoned child.
