“Don’t you have anything else to say?” Credence slowly put his hands into his pockets and frowned. He stared at Dorothy’s pale face and coldly asked her.
“Didn’t you see it for yourself? What else do you want me to say?”
Dorothy took a deep breath and hid her sad expression well. She slowly stood up by supporting herself with the toilet bowl. She was not afraid of the chill emanating from his body. She raised her head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. She smiled lightly and said, “Credence, you’re right. I’ve gotten together with Juelz and we’ve made love too. The child in my womb belongs to him. You don’t like me, and you don’t love me either. You even tried to kill me. Can’t I take back my feelings for you and love another man?”
“Do you know when I got pregnant?”
“Let me tell you, it was the night when I had gotten drunk. I had invited Juelz to the hotel. When we were doing it, we were so excited and enthusiastic. Hence, I got pregnant right after that.”
“Credence, I was pregnant with your child, but you didn’t want it. You thought that I wasn’t qualified to give birth to your child… Now, everything has turned out for the better because I’m pregnant with Juelz’s child. He’s ecstatic. He promised that he would marry me after I’m released from prison, and that he would protect me and our child for the rest of my life!”
As she said this, Dorothy blinked her eyes and continued with a smile, “What’s more, since I’m known as a murderer now, I am no longer qualified to occupy the title of Mrs. Scott. I don’t love you, and you don’t love me either. When you are free, go and get our divorce certificate done. It’s time we left each other.”
At first, when she had proposed divorce, Dorothy had felt a heart-wrenching pain. It was hard for her to accept that fact. Soon after, she gradually accepted it.
He was a man who did not love her, a man who did not hold her in his heart. He would only stay by her side like a hollow shell and be cruel and merciless toward her. What was the use of that?
Too much disappointment had accumulated inside of her. No matter how impenetrable she was, she would still give up.
As soon as she said that, a cold atmosphere suddenly filled the small bathroom, and it was as silent as hell would be.
A sudden knock broke the silence between the two of them.
Dorothy was shocked.
Who would look for her at such a late hour?
She turned to look at the door amidst her shock. However, Credence was still looking at her with his cold gaze.
The next second, Dorothy heard Juelz’s anxious and concerned voice, “Dory, what are you doing inside? Is the baby in your womb being disobedient and causing you to vomit again? I’ve specially asked the doctor. The doctor said that it’s normal for you to vomit every day like this. Your vomiting will stop, no, I mean morning sickness, once the baby is five or six months old.”
Upon hearing this, Dorothy’s face froze. She did not say anything.
After that, Juelz cheerfully said again, “Come out. Hurry up and come out. Look at the good things that I’ve brought you. There’s milk, milk bottles, diapers, baby clothes, pants, and hats. Germaine told me to buy these. She said that I’m about to be a father, so I should start acting like one.”
“Dory, these things are so cute. I’m so happy that I can’t wait to share them with you! Oh, stop squatting down in the toilet. Hurry up and come out. Come out and have a look at my taste. Haha, I’m really going to be a father in seven to eight months! Dory, hurry. Come and pinch me, and see if I’m dreaming or not…”
Faced with this sudden situation, Dorothy panicked. She did not know what to do.
When the two of them had met in the reception room, she had stuffed the small note into Juelz’s hands while Ivana was not paying attention. The words on the note had said that she was pregnant. She hoped that Juelz would cooperate with her and put on an act in front of Credence. They would pretend that the child in her womb was Juelz’s, so that he would be thoroughly disappointed in her. That would result in her divorce with Credence.
However, she had never expected Credence to come to the detention room in the middle of the night to find her. Juelz was also so excited that he had brought everything over in such a short time to send them over to her. He even said so many strange things that could easily cause suspicions.
After she was stunned for a while, Dorothy quickly came back to her senses, and her eyes flashed.
Wasn’t this a wonderful opportunity?
Juelz realized that Dorothy was not replying to him from the bathroom. He raised his eyebrows and shouted, “Dory, I’ve said so much, so why aren’t you replying me?”
“Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to a hospital now?”
“Dory, I’m so anxious! Hurry up and reply me!”
“I’m coming in!”
The door opened. Just as Juelz stepped in with a concerned look, he felt a gust of cold wind suddenly gush towards him. As he was standing in a blind spot, he barely managed to see a man clad in a black suit kick him. The next second, he felt a burning sense of rage at his stomach…
Credence caught him off guard and kicked him to the ground. The heart-wrenching pain caused his old injuries to hurt even more, especially with his added new injury. He laid on the cold cement floor, unable to get up.
D*mn it, who the f*ck pulled a sneak attack on him?
At that moment, Juelz ignored the pain in his body and focused completely on Dorothy’s safety. He panicked. “Dory, who the f*ck is in there? Tell me, are you alright?”
“Talk to me, Dory, is it Credence? It has to be him. Only he would be so despicable and cunning as to attack someone when they’re not expecting it…”
“Credence, get the f*ck out of here. If you have the guts, let’s fight one-on-one. What kind of a good-for-nothing man are you to bully Dory like this!”
As soon as Juelz said that, he realized that Dorothy was being dragged out of the bathroom by Credence’s slender arm. His dark eyes fell on the pile of baby products placed on the single bed, and then his gaze shifted to Juelz’s face, which was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth, even though he still looked handsome. Then, he turned from Juelz’s face to Dorothy’s pale one for a long time.
Credence stared at her until Dorothy could not stand his cold look and shivered. He smiled and let out a low laugh.
“What a lovely couple. It seems like I am the outsider now.”
Green veins bulged on Credence’s neck as he laughed. His charming features looked sinister, and he had a terrifying expression on his face. He raised his hand and held Dorothy’s jaw bones tightly. Suddenly, he increased his strength.
“Is he the reason why you ran away from home in the middle of the night? No wonder the two of you lived in the same hotel in Palm City. You must have known that you were pregnant with his child at that time. Dorothy, I’ve always been a gentleman towards women, and I don’t want to attack a woman. Yet you shamelessly had an affair. Do you really think I am reluctant to kill you?”
Dorothy was in so much pain that her face turned paler and paler, but she resisted the urge to let out a painful groan. She endured the immense pain on her chin and looked at the man angrily. She smiled faintly.
“Yes, you’re right. The child belongs to Juelz, and I did cheat on you behind your back. Now that you’ve found out, do whatever you want to do. I have nothing else to say.”
Upon hearing that, Credence’s tall and straight body froze for a moment. He silently lowered his eyes and stared at Dorothy for a long while. There was not even the slightest trace of emotions on his cold face.
Then, Dorothy heard him say in a low and cold voice, “Dorothy, you make me sick! Indeed, I’ve only ever been interested in your body, but from now on, even if you are the last woman left in the world, I will never touch you again.”
“Someone will send you the divorce certificate later. Take care of yourself!”
After that, the iron door of the detention room banged hard, closing once again.
By the time Dorothy had turned her head and looked over, she could only see his gloomy figure disappear around the corner.
She covered her lips in pain, and tears fell down her face silently.
It was finally over.
This time, it was really over!
