Chapter 5

The next day, I went to the hospital early in the morning.

Coming out of the operating room, I ran into Lily and Jacob.

Jacob was surprised to see me in the obstetrics department.

He pulled me to the end of the corridor and asked in a low voice: "Olivia, what are you doing here?"

My face was pale, my voice cold: "Didn't Lily tell you I was pregnant too?"

Hearing the news of my pregnancy, Jacob wasn't very excited, just a bit surprised: "What? You're pregnant too? Did you come for a check-up today?"

I shook my head: "No, I came for surgery. I've already terminated the pregnancy."

Jacob was furious: "Olivia, you terminated our child without asking me? What's the meaning of this?"

"Jacob, let's get a divorce. I wish you and Lily happiness." I turned to leave.

Ryan came from afar, he had gone to get medicine for me.

Seeing Ryan, Jacob rushed over and punched him, shouting angrily: "Ryan, did you persuade my wife to terminate the pregnancy? You're asking for death!"

Ryan punched Jacob back, and nurses came forward to separate them.

Lily came over to comfort Jacob: "Don't be angry, we can talk about this when we get back."

I pulled Ryan away, leaving Jacob and Lily behind.

Jacob, grinding his teeth in anger, shouted at my retreating back: "Olivia, think carefully! If you leave with him, our marriage is over!"

I had thought it through clearly. Divorce, we must divorce!

After returning from the hospital, I rested at Ryan's place for a few days.

When I was able to get out of bed, I moved out of Ryan's house and into a hotel.

I had originally stayed at his place to anger Jacob, which was a bit impulsive.

After calming down, I knew I shouldn't have done that.

I proposed divorce to Jacob.

He was also angry and agreed immediately.

However, when it came to dividing the assets, some disagreements arose.

We had a house, a car, and 300,000 in savings under our names.

Originally, we planned to sell the house and car and split the marital assets equally.

But Lily persuaded Jacob: "Olivia's salary isn't as high as yours, how can she get half? Giving her a third is already generous."

Jacob thought Lily made sense, so he proposed that he keep the house, I get the car, and of the savings, he gets 200,000 and I get 100,000.

Of course, I didn't agree.

Although my base salary wasn't as high as his, my year-end bonus could match his entire annual salary.

That car was bought with my year-end bonus.

When we bought the house, my family also contributed half.

When we didn't have enough money for renovations, I used most of my pre-marriage savings.

I had originally planned to live a good life with him, but I never expected I had misjudged him so badly.

Now that we couldn't continue our life together, splitting the assets 50-50 was already generous to him.

Since we couldn't reach an agreement, we had to file for divorce in court.
