Chapter 4

My brain was foggy from staying up all night, and I hadn't caught the panic and confusion in his tone.

He must have had a beauty in his arms at that moment, having completely forgotten about our plans.

After arranging their examination items, Silva took the forms to pay.

Once Silva's figure completely disappeared down the hallway, Antonella reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

She touched her belly.

"After talking so much, I still don't know the doctor's name?"

I raised my eyes to look at her.

"You can just call me Dr. Alice."

A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes, and she smiled as she spoke.

"What a coincidence."

My heart stirred, and I pretended to ask calmly.

"Do you also know someone named Alice?"

Antonella smiled slightly and nodded, then her expression changed, disgust appearing in her eyes.

"My husband's ex-girlfriend is also named Alice, but that's all in the past now."

"I heard his ex was really ugly, had a terrible temper, treated Silva badly, and was extremely controlling."

"Thank goodness he was brave enough to break up with her. Now he's met me instead."

I gripped the pen in my hand tighter, laughing coldly inside.

"Did your husband tell you all this himself?"

"Of course."

She clenched her fist, her expression indignant, as if feeling wronged on Silva's behalf.

"She even threatened Silva with his future career, forcing him to marry her."

"Of course Silva refused and even gave her a good humiliation."

Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow, having already sentenced Silva to death countless times in my mind.

When I met Silva, he was still a young man with nothing but his studies, penniless and naive.

He said after graduation he wanted to work in Texas—it was the place he'd dreamed of since childhood.

So I convinced my father to pull strings and build a highway for him to the top companies in Texas. I even bought him a house there.

I held his hand and told him, "Do what you want to do. People in love won't let distance change their feelings."

When he proposed, he admitted in front of all our friends that without me, there would be no him today.

He knelt on one knee and solemnly placed the ring on my finger, saying he would be with me for the rest of his life.

But in the blink of an eye, he'd betrayed me so completely.

I looked at the girl in front of me, exhaled gently, and suddenly felt utterly tired of it all.

Twisting the wedding ring on my finger, I suddenly changed the subject.

"I really envy you for having a husband who loves you so much. I'm different."

Antonella quickly looked up at me, her eyes shining with gossip.

I continued.

"Actually, I'm already married. In the first month after marriage, I discovered my husband was cheating."

"He was hiding another family from me."

"Bang!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Antonella slammed the table hard.

"He's such scum! Dr. Alice is so wonderful, and he doesn't know how to cherish you at all."

I smiled helplessly and continued slowly.

"And recently, I found out he got someone else pregnant behind my back."

This time Antonella stood up directly in anger, her chest heaving violently.

"Scumbag!"

"That kind of person deserves to be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"

Just then, Silva pushed the door open and asked with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Who deserves to die a terrible death?"

Antonella looked at Silva angrily. "We're talking about Dr. Alice's scumbag husband. You don't know what vile things he's done."
