“Caelan, I can’t.”

I grabbed his sleeve with my shaky hand and said, “My belly hurts. Please take me to the hospital.”

When Caelan heared that, his face darkened. He yanked my hand away and said, “Stop with the act! Haven’t you had enough?

“It’s just a small favor for Isabel, yet you won’t do it and act out!”

I gritted my teeth and said, “I’m not lying. I’m bleeding. Please, take me to the hospital.”

The pain in my belly felt like I was being punched over and over. Warm blood kept flowing out.

Caelan still did not believe me. “Where’s the blood? Stop pretending!”

I was wearing a black dress. Even if it were stained, the blood would not show.

But if he just sniffed, he would smell the blood in the air.

I forced myself to stay calm through the pain and explained to Caelan. “Listen carefully. I’m pregnant. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, I’ll lose the baby. Take me to the hospital. Now!”

Caelan froze for a moment and then snapped, “How low can you go, Nellie?! You’d make up a story like this just to avoid helping?!

“We’ve been married for years, and you never got pregnant. Now, you’re suddenly pregnant the second I ask for a favor! Do you think I’m stupid?!”

Then, he pointed toward the pool and said, “Jump in and grab Isabel’s earring!

“If you’re bleeding, great! Wash off so you don’t stink up the place!”

Caelan paused. He probably thought he was not harsh enough, so he added, “If you don’t do it, we’re getting a divorce!”

At this moment, I felt completely empty inside.

I stared at him and said, “Good. That’s exactly what I want. I’ve already drawn up the papers. Expect them soon.”

He fell silent and looked at me in disbelief.

He probably could not believe that I, who had been his devoted follower for ten years, would really divorce him.

After I said that, I tried to walk past them to leave.

But Isabel took advantage of my distraction and suddenly pushed me from behind.

I was caught off guard and fell into the pool with a splash.

The water was freezing and quickly engulfed me.

I struggled to keep my head above water and shouted for help, but my body felt heavy like lead.

As the rippling water showed their figures walking away, I began to sink and helplessly closed my eyes.
