Aunt Lucy, thinking she hadn’t heard her, repeated what she had just said, and also gave away the fact that someone was impersonating Baird Lane’s voice.
Christine White was shaking in her body, “You’re saying that Molly Bort and her dad made these?”
“Yes ma’am.” Aunt Lucy nodded affirmatively.
Hate rose to Christine White’s face, “Is it true?”
She looked at Baird Lane.
Baird Lane had realized that to hide it at this point would just seem redundant, and could only purse his thin lips and admit it.
Christine White’s body trembled violently, shocked and exasperated by the reversal of the matter, “Why, why did you say you did it?”
“Why else, to hide it for The Bort Family, father and daughter.” Aunt Lucy said coldly.
“Hiding?” Christine White bit her lower lip in a deadly rage, “So you’re hiding it for them and you’re taking the blame for it on your own accord, right?”
“Sorry. …” Baird Lane drops his eyes.
By apologizing at this time, he was undoubtedly acknowledging her words.
Christine White glared at him in grief, “Baird Lane, do you even know what you are doing to yourself? I’m your wife, I’m carrying your child in my belly, we’re being treated like this and you choose to cover up for our enemies, are you still a human being?”
Baird Lane’s handsome face went slightly white and he couldn’t speak.
Christine White had tears in her eyes, “I really regret it, I really regret loving a man like you, Hugh Dong is right, loving you will only end up with you all over the place, I might as well have left you in the first place!”
“Hugh Dong?” said Baird Lane, his eyes sinking, “What has he told you?”
Christine White didn’t answer him this question, just looked at him coldly and asked rhetorically, “Baird Lane, Molly Bort father and daughter forcibly extracted my bone marrow and aborted my child, do you really want to bear this guilt for them?”
Baird Lane clenched both fists, “I promised them.”
“So you had to do it right? So let me ask you, while you were harboring them, did you yourself take revenge on them?” Christine White questioned.
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “No.”
“No?” Christine White clenched her teeth in anger, “You actually didn’t? How could you not retaliate against them, those are your children, they are your children, and just because one of them is the woman you love and the other is the father of the woman you love, you can be so ignorant of right and wrong?”
Molly Bort, father and daughter, kidnapped her, forcibly extracted her bone marrow, and aborted her child, and either of these things is against the law and can be reported to the police.
Baird Lane harbored them and didn’t call the police, which she could understand.
But she can’t accept that he has no means of retaliation whatsoever against Molly Bort and her father and daughter, knowing that Molly Bort and her father and daughter got rid of her child with their own hands, and that child is not only hers, but his as well, and he refuses to even avenge his own child’s death!
“It’s not that I don’t know right from wrong, I just …”
“You don’t want to talk about it!” Christine White shouted interrupting Baird Lane, covering her ears emotionally intense, “I don’t want to hear any more, all I know is that you didn’t do anything about what happened to me and my child, you only harbored those two, for that alone Baird Lane I can’t forgive you, and what you’re doing now is even more than if you had done all this yourself! of abominations!”
Baird Lane’s thin lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn’t.
Christine White pointed to the door, “You go, you go, I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to see you ever again, think about the divorce!”
“Divorce?” Aunt Lucy, who hadn’t said anything, couldn’t help but lose her voice in shock when she heard this.
But neither Christine White nor Baird Lane paid her any attention.
Baird Lane looked deeply at Christine White for a few seconds, “Okay, I’ll leave you to get some rest, and I won’t think twice about the divorce.”
With those words, he turned and walked out the door.
Aunt Lucy looked at his back and then at Christine White’s determined expression, and her whole body panicked, not understanding how things could have ended up like this.
Divorce?
What’s all this talk about divorce?
“Ma’am, when you told Mr. what you just said, you meant divorce?” Aunt Lucy asked again.
Christine White collapsed back into her hospital bed, her eyes staring lifelessly at the ceiling.
“I can’t live with him anymore, I couldn’t forgive him before when I thought he did all these things and wanted a divorce, and I can’t forgive even more now that I know he didn’t do all these things, but he’s covering up for my and my children’s enemies, and not even retaliating against them.”
“This …” Aunt Lucy suddenly didn’t know what to say either.
She could understand how her wife felt, and because she did, she had nothing to say.
But it doesn’t have to rise to the level of divorce, does it?
And mister is really something, even if you don’t send The Bort Family father and daughter to the police station, at least you should give them a little color to show them what they shouldn’t do, but mister didn’t do it either, does mister love that Bort woman that much? Is Mr. Bort that much in love with that Bort woman that he doesn’t care if he loses his own child?
“Aunt Lucy, why don’t you go out too, I’m tired and I want to get some sleep.” Christine White closed her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye and dripped onto the clean white pillow, quickly fainting away in a cloud.
“Okay, ma’am you go to sleep, I’ll go out and keep watch.” Aunt Lucy tucked her in and eased her footsteps out.
Christine White reluctantly rolled over, burying her face in the covers, and quickly stopped moving.
By the time she woke up again from her nap, it was nighttime.
Ives Norton came over to examine her on time and was flabbergasted to see her eyes red and swollen, “You’ve been crying?”
“Learned some truths, couldn’t help crying, made you laugh.” Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to.
Ives Norton frowned, “The truth? What truth?”
“Not yet sir!” Aunt Lucy interjected, relating the events of the day.
Ives Norton listened with a slightly surprised expression, “So you knew all about it?”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nodded.
Ives Norton’s glasses reflected back, “So what are you going to do?”
“I’ve filed for divorce with him.”
“So soon? So Baird said yes?” Ives Norton was genuinely surprised now.
Christine White licked her dry lips, “No, but I’ve decided this time that I must get a divorce, and it won’t help if he doesn’t agree.”
She just couldn’t forgive such a person.
She couldn’t understand even more, what was he thinking, was the concept of love really so important that he could not even care about the lives of his own children?
“I see, then I wish you a successful divorce when the time comes.” Ives Norton grinned.
Christine White hmmm’d, “Thanks.”
Aunt Lucy listened to the two men and was anxious, “Dr. Norton, how can you say that and wish our wife a successful divorce?”
“Yeah, Christine followed Baird, have you ever seen her happy? Now that something like this has happened to her, leaving Baird is the right choice, after all, no one can be sure if something similar will happen next time.” Ives Norton replaces Christine White’s wounds while returning with disbelief.
Aunt Lucy heard, although feel a little ridiculous Dong, but also have to admit that it is reasonable, can only mouth hard to say, “Divorce which is so easy ah, the old master there are not necessarily agreed.”
“Grandpa will say yes.” Christine White spoke with certainty.
Aunt Lucy froze slightly, “Why?”
Christine White smiled and didn’t answer.
Seeing this, Aunt Lucy stopped asking and went out to buy food.
Soon, a few more days passed.
Christine White was finally discharged from the hospital with Ives Norton’s permission, but after she was discharged, she had to be conditioned at home, and for a short time, she still couldn’t get around.
“Ma’am, let’s go back.” Aunt Lucy said to Christine White as she put her bags in the trunk.
Christine White shook her head, “Not going back yet, first a trip to the office.”
“What’s the point of going to the office?” Aunt Lucy was a little puzzled.
