She hoped Wesley hadn’t noticed anything.
When she came out of the shower, Wesley was already asleep.
His face was pale, brows furrowed, burdened with worries even in his sleep.
Ceciliay down beside him, her mind still in turmoil over the check- up scheduled for next Monday.
After resting at home for two days, Wesley’s health improved a lot.
Early Monday morning, he dropped Cecilia off at the hospital before heading to work.
Cecilia first went to see Noah. After making sure he was doing well, she left the hospital and took a cab to another private hospital known for its discretion.
She was still torn inside, but finally convinced herself that it was just a check–up, not the actual procedure yet.
The examination waspleted.
The doctor advised her, “Ms. Zamora, I don’t rmend the surgery. If you lose this child, you may lose the chance to be a mother forever.”
Her body had suffered before. Even though herbal medicine had helped her conceive again, she still needed to be especially careful.
Let alone undergoing surgery.
Although the pregnancy was still early, an abortion would be

especially harmful to her body.
That was also why Cecilia chose toe to the hospital–she still hoped. to have the chance to be a mother in the future.
Cecilia gave a bitter smile. “Isn’t there any other way?”
The doctor shook his head. “Your body can’t handle it.”
Cecilia touched her lower abdomen, unable to harden her heart. “I’ll think about it some more.”
In the end, she just couldn’t let go.
She took the examination report and left.
Just as she reached the corridor, she heard a familiar voice.
Not far away, Amelia was grabbing another woman, pping her hard across the face.
“Shameless vixen, all you know is how to seduce men!”
Standing beside the woman was a middle–aged man. He shoved Amelia hard and shouted, “Are you crazy?”
Amelia fell heavily to the ground.
Usually so concerned with saving face, she didn’t get up right away this time, but looked at the man in pain.
“Brendon Carlton, I am your wife!”
She screamed with all her might, a cry of utter despair toward her husband.
Brendon looked at her with disgust. “If you hadn’t been holding on, we would have divorced long ago.”

“Amelia, I’ve told you before–divorce, give each other freedom. But you’ve been clinging to that position all this time.”
Tears streamed down Amelia’s face.
She tried to get up, but the fall had twisted her ankle.
At this moment, she couldn’t stand.
All her pride and dignity were shattered here.
She had worked so hard to maintain that marriage, but what had she gotten in return? Her husband’s betrayal.
And now, public humiliation in front of everyone.
“Why is Mrs. Carlton still lying on the ground? Is she trying to ckmail Brendon?”
The young woman beside Brendon covered her mouth and giggled, delicate and beautiful.
Amelia gritted her teeth in hatred.
But she couldn’t get up.
Just as she was sinking into despair, a hand suddenly reached out from under her arm, giving her strength and helping her up.
She turned and saw a familiar face, stunned in shock.
“Cecilia?”
Cecilia ignored her, instead fixing a cold gaze on the man and woman before her

The middle–aged man, Brendon Carlton, was Wesley’s biological father and the eldest son of the Carlton family. He hadpletely inherited Frank’s womanizing ways, with a chaotic private life that had nearly led to divorce with Amelia.
Later, Frank intervened and kicked him out of the family’s core interests, leaving him with only a nominal position in thepany.
Since then, he never returned home.
The woman at his side was probably histest fling.
Cecilia had only met Brendon once, back when she married Wesley and the two families had dinner together.
She knew he was unfaithful, but hadn’t realized he was so vile as to hit
women.
“Prisci? No, Cecilia.” Brendon recognized her.
He had a rather handsome face. Even at fifty, he still looked elegant and charming.
He certainly had what it took to attract women.
“Take this crazy woman home,” he said, pointing at Amelia and instructing Cecilia. “Don’t embarrass us here.”
Amelia was furious. “Who are you calling a disgrace?”
Brendon was disgusted by his wife’s constant shouting andck of gentleness.
“Amelia, Alina is pregnant. Divorce me. I want to give Alina a legitimate status.”
The woman called Alina looked shy and demure. “Brendon, I don’t

Amelia nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
“Is being a mistress an honorable profession these days?” Cecilia looked Alina up and down coldly. “You dare to provoke the wife even while pregnant? Do you really think the Carlton family is that easy to mess with?”
