Chapter 6

After that, I didn't feel uncomfortable for long before we arrived at our destination.

When getting out of the car, it was Ethan who carried me.

Being in his arms again, for a moment, I almost couldn't hold back my tears.

But fortunately, after Ethan quickly carried me out of the car, he quickly put me back in the wheelchair.

He was even so disgusted by me that after putting me in the wheelchair, he urgently had Sophia hand him two wet wipes and desperately wiped his hands.

And Sophia awkwardly explained to me on the side:

"Sorry, Jenny. Ethan has a cleanliness obsession. Except for me, if any other woman touches him, he feels disgusted."

Watching Ethan's movements, I lowered my head and pressed my lips together, pretending not to see his actions or hear Sophia's words.

After that, I let Ethan and Sophia hold hands and push me into a Spanish restaurant.

As soon as we sat down at the table, Ethan proactively picked up the menu and ordered several spicy dishes.

Hearing the dish names he called out, my heart felt sour. In the past, I never ate spicy food, and Ethan didn't eat spicy food either. Who he was ordering for was self-evident.

And I didn't make things difficult for myself. Right now, even eating was difficult for me, let alone eating such strongly flavored food.

So I had the waiter add a light vegetable soup for me.

But for some reason, Ethan suddenly lost his temper.

"Skinny as a ghost, and you're still trying to diet."

My heart felt densely sour from Ethan's sudden concern, but in just a moment, I smiled and said: "Blake likes me thinner."

Blake was the guy Ethan's mother had made up as my affair partner back then.

Since Ethan had been angered into going abroad by me, I had never seen him again.

And after hearing my words, Ethan's face instantly turned ashen.

And Sophia, sitting beside Ethan, immediately smiled at me: "Jenny, don't misunderstand. Ethan is a doctor now, so whenever he sees someone dieting, he gets angry. When I was abroad before and insisted on dieting, Ethan scolded me many times too."

Speaking, Sophia smiled and looked at Ethan. "Ethan, am I right?"

But Ethan didn't look at Sophia. He only angrily stood up and pushed back his chair. "I'm going to the restroom."

After that, without another glance at me or Sophia, Ethan turned and walked toward the restroom.

And watching his retreating figure, my heart felt sourly painful again. So had I messed up again?

Messed up Ethan's new life, messed up Ethan's new love.

Guilt rose in my heart. And Sophia, sitting across the table from me, directly picked up a cup of hot water and suddenly "splashed" it onto my face.

"You fake bitch, do you think I'm stupid? You keep playing pitiful to seduce my fiancé."

The hot water Sophia splashed burned my face painfully.

But I only clenched my palms tightly, then said guiltily: "Sorry, if I made you misunderstand, I apologize."

Sophia only sneered and stood up. Then she walked over and slapped me across the face.

"You think that by pretending to be crippled, you'll make Ethan change his mind?"

"Let me tell you, Ethan is mine for life. Don't think that just because you're Ethan's first love, you can steal him away."

The cheek Sophia slapped was painful and numb. I could endure her splashing water on me — after all, I was shamelessly coveting Ethan's tenderness.

But she couldn't slap me.

So without thinking, I pushed her away.

"Sophia, if you dare lay a hand on me again, I'll call the police."

But as soon as I finished speaking, Sophia somehow suddenly fell to the ground.

She suddenly started wailing.

"Oh my belly! Help! Someone is assaulting a pregnant woman!"

I looked at her figure lying on the ground, looking at my own hands in disbelief.

You have to know I'd been sick for seven years. Even putting on clothes made me tired.

Sometimes I couldn't even hold a water glass steady.

I didn't have the strength to push Sophia down. When I pushed her, it was only to make her stop hitting me.

But who knew Sophia would suddenly lie on the ground.

And just as I didn't know what to do, Ethan suddenly appeared in the lobby. Seeing Sophia lying on the ground, he urgently ran toward her.

"Sophia, Sophia, are you okay?"

Sophia immediately started crying, crying and desperately clutching Ethan's collar.

"Ethan, save me! Save the baby in my belly! Jenny — Jenny tried to kill me!"

"Just now, as soon as you left, she started cursing at me, saying you were trash she didn't want, and that whenever she wanted you, you'd come crawling back to beg her. I couldn't help it — I couldn't help splashing her with water."

"But who knew she'd get even angrier and start cursing me, calling me a vicious fake bitch, saying I was a slut who picked up men she didn't want."

"I couldn't help it, so I slapped her. After that, she angrily pushed me away."

"You know I'm pregnant and my health isn't good. I can't handle even the slightest collision."

Hearing Sophia's words, I was completely shocked in place.

My lips trembled several times before I could speak.

"Ethan, listen to me. It's not like that."

"I... I really didn't."

But who knew Ethan would erupt in a huge roar.

"Jenny, how can you be so vicious? Seven years ago, you shamelessly had an affair with another man."

"Seven years later, I'm about to get married, and you think I'm good again. You even assaulted my fiancée!"

"You dare to hit my woman? Today I'll let you taste what it's like to hit my woman."

Speaking, he walked over and angrily kicked my wheelchair several times.

He even violently pushed my wheelchair backward hard, pushing it toward the dining table.

The wheelchair crashed into the table. The bowls on the table fell to the floor, and the table flipped over.

And my wheelchair flipped too.

My head slammed heavily into the corner of the table, instantly bulging and bleeding.

My head was buzzing, and even my body was trembling and shaking.

But Ethan didn't look at me once. He only urgently picked up Sophia, urgently kissing Sophia's lips as she cried in pain.

"Be good, be good, don't cry. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

After that, without another glance at me, he turned and carried Sophia toward the door.

And watching Sophia's provocative smile and Ethan's retreating figure, I suddenly smiled.

Smiled until tears flowed.

This reminded me of when I was eighteen, when I was groped on a bus by a man who touched my butt.

Back then, Ethan was still a hot-headed youth. Furious, he grabbed that man who was a head taller and much stronger than him, and like an enraged beast, punched the man in the face again and again.

"You garbage scum, how dare you touch my woman! I'll beat you to death!"

At that time, all the passengers on the bus were frightened. Only I cried and desperately grabbed Ethan's arm, begging him, crying and telling him to stop, and only then did Ethan stop.

In the past, I was Ethan's woman, so he would desperately protect me.

Now the person in Ethan's heart had become another girl, so he would desperately protect her, even if the person he was hitting was me.

My heart trembled with pain. The surrounding waiters gradually gathered around.

After that, the police came. The moment I saw the police appear, my strength suddenly drained. I desperately grabbed the police officer's hand and said:

"Tell my mom not to pursue this. Tell my mom this was all my own choice."

"Tell my mom I'm sorry. I... I can't accompany her anymore."

My heart felt sour, but somehow I had no regrets.

After all, I had fought cancer for seven years, waited for seven years. My greatest dream was just to see Ethan once.

I saw him. My dream came true. It was enough.
