After saying this, she looked at him from head to toe and muttered beneath her breath, âYour wife is in the emergency room, yet youâre relaxed enough to puff on cigarettes.
â
Melissa quickly stole a glance at Albert to see how he would react.
Albert didnât say anything.
He quietly stubbed out the cigarette and sat down.
He felt nothing for Daisy.
Besides, the baby in her belly was not even his.
The problem was that he didnât want to going through the trouble to divorce her and marry someone else.
Also, this child could be seen as a bargaining chip meant to provide balance between their families.
In simple terms, he didnât give a damn about that woman and the bastard she was carrying.
But Melissa had no idea about the full story.
She knew that Albert didnât care about Daisy, but she thought he would at least be concerned about the baby.
If only she knew how wrong she was.
Eventually, the door of the operating room was opened, and they could all see that both mother and infant were safe and fine.
After leaving the emergency room, Daisy was taken over to the VIP ward.
Even the sight of her in this condition didnât invoke any feeling in Albertâs heart.
As always, he did not care one bit for her.
In fact, the two of them had been sleeping in separate rooms from the beginning.
As a result, he didnât feel the need to stay back and look after her.
But nevertheless, he arranged everything that she would need, including maids to take care of her.
After doing all these, Albert was about to leave when all of a sudden, Daisy called him.
âAlbert!â
Since she had just gone through the surgery, she was still very weak.
Nevertheless, she sat up on the bed and asked in a trembling voice, âAre you mad at me?â
âDonât be absurd!â Albert scolded her.
âStop talking nonsense and just take good care of yourself.
Iâll come see you when Iâm free.
â
When Daisy heard this, she burst into tears.
âAlbert, are you going to see her again?â she wailed, ignoring the fact that Melissa was present.
âThanks to that woman, I almost lost the baby⦠our baby.
Albert, can you just wake up and come back to reality? Iâm the one married to you, not her.
Iâm your wife!â
âSo what?â Albert retorted, fixing his cold gaze on her.
âIf you truly saw yourself as Mrs.
Waston, you wouldnât have done those things.
Besides, werenât you the one who voluntarily went to visit Jessie? If the baby had been lost in the accident, wouldnât you be the one to blame?â
When Daisy heard this, she immediately grabbed his hand and cried out, âAlbert, which woman would accept such a cold treatment from her own husband? I waited for you for so long, but you still have her in your heart.
Iâm a woman like her too.
Have you ever thought about how I feel about all these things?â
âYou deserve it!â Albert retorted and shook off her hand.
âAnd make sure I never hear that you went to pick on her again!
Otherwise⦠Iâll get rid of your baby myself.
â
This threat stunned Daisy.
Instinctively, she covered her belly with her hands and wailed tearfully, âAlbert, how can you be so cruel to me just because of that shameless bitch?!â
But hardly had the words left her mouth when Albert landed a stinging slap on her face.
It wasnât a heavy slap, but it wasnât light either.
It was enough to stun Daisy.
