Chapter34


    She was tired and worn out from this rtionship.


    As long as she could get a divorce, she was willing to give up. everything.


    Wesley didn’t answer the question. Instead, he asked gently in a hoarse voice, “Does your foot still hurt badly?”


    Prisci looked up seriously at her handsome and gentle husband. Every time the topic of divorce came up, he always changed the subject.


    But clearly, he wanted a divorce too, or he wouldn’t keep making things difficult for her as his wife.


    “Wesley, did you ever like me, even a little?”


    In three years of marriage, this was the first time she had asked this question.


    A marriage of convenience shouldn’t have such questions, but they had once been in love for a year or two.


    She wanted an answer.


    Wesley patted her head and said softly, “I’ll ask the doctor about your treatment n.”


    He put down the towel and left the hospital room.


    Prisci raised her hand to cover her eyes, and soon, tears fell into her hair.

    His leaving was the answer.


    She had known this would be the answer, but her heart still ached <b>as </b><b>if </b>torn apart.


    She slowly curled herself up under the covers, biting her lip to swallow all her sorrow.


    Corrine came in, with her red eyes. “I’m sorry, it was Wesley’s people who brought me to the hospital. He was right beside me when you called.”


    That was why Wesley had found Prisci so quickly after that phone call.


    Corrine felt guilty.


    “It’s okay.” Tears still hung at the corners of Prisci’s eyes, but she forced a light tone, “At least my foot can be treated.”


    Corrine couldn’t help butugh, but her heart was full of pain for her friend.


    That scumbag Wesley–how much more did he intend to hurt Ci…


    Soon after, Prisci asked Corrine to leave.


    She still had something very important to do.


    She obtained the video of ude dragging her and forcing her to take the me for Larissa, and sent it to the reporters.


    Since everyone said she was the one who leaked the video, she might as well take the me.


    Within just over an hour of the video’s release, the buzz it generated was no less than the scandal about Wesley’s affair.


    When Tania arrived with ude and Larissa, Prisci had just finished her third


    ment.


    The pain in her ankle had lessened, but the swelling was still shockingly severe.


    Tania put on a show of concern, though it was hard to tell how much <b>was </b>genuine. “Prisci, does it hurt?”


    “What do you think?” Prisci replied bluntly, not bothering to be polite.


    Tania’s expression stiffened, but she forced a few strained smiles. “Mom knows you’ve been wronged.”


    Prisci curled her lips. She knew why they hade, which made such opening remarks seem especially insincere.


    “ude is here to apologize to you.” Tania nudged her son beside her. “Didn’t you say at home that you knew you were wrong? Hurry up and apologize to your sister.”


    ude spoke reluctantly, “I’m sorry.”


    When he saw that video, he could hardly believe his eyes and felt furious, but anger was useless. All he could do was toe and apologize to Prisci.


    Larissa stood weakly to the side, ying a role as the peacemaker. “Prisci, ud knew he was wrong now. Can you forgive him?”


    even


    She spoke as if it were only natural, though the whole incident had started because of her, yet she made it sound as if it was ude’s fault.


    Still, ude was willing to y the scapegoat.


    Tamia chimed in, “That’s right, I’ve already scolded him. Prisci, forgive him this time.”


    “I won’t forgive him.” Prisci stated her position bluntly and coldly


    “Prisci, he’s your brother.” Tama quickly tried to appeal to family


    ties.


    Prisci pressed her lips together lightly. “He’s Larissa’s brother, not


    mine.”


    A mist of tears welled up in Larissa’s eyes. She bit her lip gently, looking aggrieved.


    “Prisci, don’t be angry with ud because of me.”


    Seeing Larissa’s submissive demeanor, ude’s eyes were full of pain for her.


    For Larissa’s sake, he was willing to lower himself in front of Prisci.


    “I just acted on impulse. it wasn’t aimed at you. You and Larissa are both my sisters.”


    Prisci pointed at the door. “You can leave now.”


    She didn’t want to look at them for another second.


    ude finally couldn’t help but ask what was on his mind. “Was it you who posted that video about me online?”


    “Yes.”


    Prisci had done it and never intended to hide it.


    “So it really was you.” ude clenched his fists, with anger surg


    “Prisci, I’m your brother. How could you be so vicious?”
