Chapter 3

He rushed over in a few quick strides and pulled me away.

His force was so strong that I was thrown to the ground.

When I came to my senses, I remembered that Ryan was also responsible for the death of my child.

So I got up and started pushing him out too.

"You get out too, you're no better, get out!"

Ryan shielded Emma behind him and grabbed my arms, shouting, "Lily Song, have you gone mad?"

"Yes, I have gone mad!"

"Ryan Shaw, if it weren't for you, the baby wouldn't have been lost. You're both murderers!"

I grabbed Ryan's collar and yelled these words, then calmed down slightly.

Ryan asked me, confused.

"What baby?"

I laughed coldly and told him what I hadn't had a chance to say yesterday.

But Ryan blurted out, "How is that possible?"

"I always used protection."

After he said this, the air fell into silence.

I hadn't expected his reaction to be doubt rather than joy.

It felt like a thousand needles were piercing my heart, hurting so much I couldn't speak.

"As you wished, the baby is gone now."

After saying these words to Ryan with a bitter smile, I slowly let go of his collar.

In this silence, Emma suddenly let out a shrill scream, then covered her mouth.

"Lily, Ryan said you guys used protection. Could it be that this baby... wasn't his?"

"Were you afraid Ryan would find out, so you got rid of the baby yourself, killing two birds with one stone by making him feel guilty?"

She spoke on and on, as if she had discovered the truth, spinning her own wild theories.

After finishing, she dramatically tried to explain herself to me.

"Lily, I didn't mean it like that... it's just that in novels, that's how it usually goes..."

Emma put on an exaggerated performance in front of me, pretending to be hesitant, but somehow her act had an audience who believed it.

Ryan looked at me, hurt, and questioned, "Lily Song, haven't I been good enough to you?"

"Why would you do this to me?"

I laughed bitterly at his words and pointed at Emma, asking in return.

"We've been married for five years, and you believe her over me?"

Ryan's expression froze for a moment.

Emma pitifully clutched at his sleeve and said, "Ryan, you know I never lie."

Ryan looked at her in silence for a while.

Then he turned to me and said, "Emma doesn't lie."

"You think she doesn't lie, so you believe her biased words and think I've wronged you?"

"Ryan Shaw, I've been with you for so long, am I not worth as much as someone you've known for just a few days?"

"She doesn't lie, but when have I ever lied to you?"

Every word Ryan said stabbed me in the heart!

My already unbearable pain became even more desperate.

An indescribable sense of powerlessness filled my heart, making me lose the will to wait for his answer.

Without waiting for Ryan to respond, I coldly said, "Ryan Shaw, let's get a divorce."

"I'll draft the divorce agreement and send it to you."
