Chapter 153:
I didn’t respond right away. Instead, I turned to Miranda and said, “Miranda, you can take a taxi and leave. Joey will send me back.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Miss Joey,” Miranda said with a smile, and left with her things.
“This Herbert is too inhuman, isn’t he? You’re still his wife!” As soon as Miranda left, Joey’s dissatisfaction became even more evident.
“Don’t say that. I didn’t want my mother to come here today because I didn’t want her to worry about me. I’m with Herbert just because of this child. Now that the child is gone, I have nothing to do with him.”
My tone was calm, but my emotions were in turmoil. Yes, our only bond had been taken away. He would probably propose a divorce soon, right? Caroline was still waiting for him.
Joey tried to comfort me.
“You don’t have to think about anything now. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. Your health comes first.”
“I understand,” I nodded, appreciating the comfort.
Joey helped me out of the ward. When we reached the hospital exit, Joey wrapped a thick scarf around my neck and straightened my coat before letting me out. As we stepped outside, a young woman in white fur approached. I tried to ignore her, grabbing Joey’s hand and preparing to leave, but the woman blocked my way.
“Mrs. Wharton, you don’t recognize me?” she asked with a bright smile, like a beautiful flower.
I looked at her and said, “How could I not remember my husband’s ex-girlfriend?”
She must have known that my child was dead, so she came here on purpose today. This was definitely not a coincidence.
“I need to correct you. Herbert and I are still in a relationship. He has never stopped loving me.”
Caroline raised her chin, her eyes full of confidence, and, of course, full of provocation. Although I had been lying here for seven days, knowing that it was impossible for Herbert and I to continue, Caroline’s words still stung my heart.
“I’m not interested in what’s going on between the two of you. However, I need to remind you that right now, I’m still Mrs. Wharton!”
What I meant was very clear. Their relationship could only be considered an affair. Since I had not divorced him, she was the third party.
Caroline continued to stop me and said sarcastically, “Because your child just died, he can’t bear to abandon you immediately. Do you really think he has feelings for you? What a joke. You should propose a divorce so that you can avoid embarrassing yourself!”
Normally, I would have definitely argued with her, never showing any weakness. But I had just gone through an operation and the pain of losing my child. I was still very weak. I didn’t have the strength to argue with her.
Joey stepped forward and pushed Caroline on the shoulder.
“Are you Caroline?”
“Who are you?” Caroline sized Joey up.
“Who am I? I’m your grandma!” Joey retorted before slapping her across the face.
“Why did you hit me?” Caroline questioned, covering her face.
