Chapter 22: Taking Two Lives

“Have you ever cared about me?” My wife asked with a darkened expression. “You leave early and end work late every day so that you could be with that woman, He Xiaomei. So what if I told you? Would you even care?”

I had assumed that she would be troubled about explaining it to me.

Never would I have thought that she would push all the responsibility and blame onto me!

Damn! I really wanted to push her down the stairs and kill her and the baby!

I was finally free at about nine in the morning and I left the hospital, leaving my mother-in-law to take care of my wife.

After getting off the building, I suddenly remembered that I had left my car key in the ward, and I rushed upstairs to get it.

However, when I reached the door, I overheard my wife and mother-in-law’s conversation.

“Have you informed Little Lu?” It was my mother-in-law’s voice.

“I told him, but he’s busy now and doesn’t have time,” replied my wife.

I was so disgusted that I almost spat out the food I ate last night!

The bald man might even be older than my mother-in-law. Her calling of ‘Little Lu’ was really simply too gross!

“Sigh, seriously, it’s not good to drag this matter. Hurry and urge him.”

“Aren’t I doing that already? The situation over his side is more complicated. It’s not that simple.”

“Anyway, you have to hurry up. I don’t want to see that piece of trash’s face again. The sooner you two get a divorce, the sooner we can move to a new house. Isn’t that better than living in that small and terrible house?”

Outside, I hit the wall with my fist, my face livid.

Beside me, a nurse who passed by jumped in fright and stumbled two steps back.

I took a few deep breaths to stabilize my raging emotions.

I had to calm down!

No matter what they said, it didn’t matter as long as they hadn’t reached that step.

I was very close to getting the evidence. Before that happened, I had to stay calm!

“Honey?” I composed myself and pushed the door open.

The voices inside stopped.

Both mother and daughter looked at me in surprise.

“Why are you back?” My mother-in-law asked in a panic. She was obviously afraid that I had heard her.

“I forgot my car key.” I walked to the bedside table and picked up the keys. “Here it is! Right, Honey, I’ll come and see you later during my lunch break. What do you want to eat? Tell me and I’ll buy it for you.”

“I don’t want to eat anything.” My wife had calmed down and regained her usual cold expression.

“Do you need me to bring any clothes? I’ll go home and get them. You are pregnant now, so you have to take care of your body. Nothing must happen to you,” I said earnestly.

Playing the role of a doting husband wasn’t a problem for me.

Because before that, I had been a model husband for eight years!

I didn’t want her to be suspicious, so I had to play my role well and try not to display any unusual behavior.

“All right, leave quickly. It’s not as if I’m not going home. I don’t need anything!” my wife snapped coldly.

The hospital was close to our house, and staying here was naturally not as comfortable.

Therefore, we had already discussed it earlier. She would come here to get the drip and go home to sleep at night.

I agreed and left.

My smile vanished instantly when I left the hospital room. With a solemn expression, I hurried away.

How much did she loathe to see me? That was why she didn’t want me to stay there for even a moment!

For the next few days, my wife would go to the hospital every day.

Other than picking her up at night and dropping her off at the hospital in the morning, I also took advantage of my lunch break. I took care of her at the hospital and only left the hospital after my lunch break to return to work.

My wife’s condition was delicate now, and she could only take a temporary period of leave.

This way, the surveillance cameras installed in the bald man’s office were naturally useless.

If the “female lead” couldn’t go to the company, how could I possibly film anything?

Two days later, during my lunch break, I went to the hospital again.

After parking the car in the parking lot, I was about to get out when I froze.

About ten meters ahead on the left, a conspicuous car was parked there!

I’ve only seen it a few times, but I’ll never forget it!

That bald man’s Bentley!

He had actually come to the hospital!

It took me a while to get out of the car. I walked to the hospital building and looked up.

If I were to go up now, I’ll probably meet that bald jerk!

I felt a surge of nausea at the thought of his greasy, disgusting face.

What should I do when I see him?

Should I smile politely and address him as Vice President Lu for formalities sake?

‘I can’t do it!’

My breathing couldn’t help but quicken as I clenched and unclenched my fists repeatedly.

I was afraid.

I was afraid that I would not be able to stop myself from strangling him if I saw him!

I whirled around and went outside the hospital. I bought a pack of cigarettes and went back to the car. I started smoking one cigarette after another.

Half an hour later, three figures suddenly approached from afar.

My hand stiffened and I crushed the cigarette in my hand!

Shockingly, it was the bald man and my parents-in-law!
