Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 4
Divorce Has Never Felt This Good
By the time Becky woke up again, it was already seven oâclock in the morning of the following day. She had been sleeping too much yesterday, so this morning, her whole body felt weak.
Just then, Jessie came back with breakfast. Seeing that Becky was awake, she ran to her bedside and asked worriedly, âHow are you feeling? Any better?â
Becky nodded and smiled slightly. âMuch better.â
âI brought your favorite food. Freshen up first. Weâll leave after breakfast. The weather in Mauritius is perfect. My friend wants to take me there. Letâs all go together.â
âWhereâs my phone?â
As soon as Becky woke up, she groped around the bed for her phone but couldnât find it. Jessie mustâve taken it.
Jessie pursed her lips and asked âWhy?â
âThe news must be all over the Internet by now, right?â Becky asked.
Becky knew Jessie all too well. Becky had left the Casper family yesterday, and yet Jessie didnât ask what happened nor did she even mention the Casper family. Becky knew that what happened mustâve spread on the Internet.
âThereâs no need to care about what people say. They just followed the story blindly and drew their own conclusions before figuring out the truth!â Jessie averted her gaze guiltily.
Becky took the phone and smiled wryly. âIn that case, what are you worried about?â
After a slight pause, she added, âBesides, I have been used to it over the years.â
Thinking about how Becky had spent three whole years with the Casper family, Jessie was so angry that her face turned purple.
âTheyâre a family of fucking idiots! If you hadnât stopped me, I wouldâve sworn at them!â
Becky didnât answer. She was busy reading the news on her phone. The trending topic was the news that she had pushed Babette into the swimming pool on the birthday party.
People all cursed Becky and supported Babette. They all thought that Becky was a shameless woman who had married into the Casper family by devious means. The Internet had painted Becky as a vicious, resentful woman.
It seemed that Becky received nothing but rebukes and abuses after she and Rory got married.
Smiling wryly, Becky excused herself. âIâm going to freshen up.â
Jessie looked at her worriedly. âBecky, are you okay?â
âIâm fine.â
Jessie sighed. âGo and wash up. After all, youâll only have the energy to feel sad on a full tank.â
Hearing this, Becky smiled helplessly.
It was true that she felt bad, but this wasnât the first time she was wronged. No matter how terrible she felt, she was able to control herself.
In the past, she was like a child who was eagerly waiting for candy. Every failure to get what she wanted chipped away at her hope until none of it was left.
The cold running water helped to clear Beckyâs mind. Recalling how Rory had forced her to kneel, she felt that something in her heart was broken.
Three years had passed and nothing came out of their marriage. It was time to end this relationship.
Jessie was right. Only when she was full could she have the strength to deal with this matter.
Becky and Jessie were eating breakfast when two nurses passed by the door to their ward. The corridor was very quiet.
Although the nurses were speaking in hushed voices, Becky and Jessie heard them clearly.
âPoor Babette. That Becky is such a bitch! Babetteâs husband passed away in an accident and now their only baby is gone!â
âThis is why men should marry women from an equal social rank. Becky was born into an ordinary family, so she probably put on airs since she was able to marry a rich man. But she doesnât even begin to compare to Babette! I donât know what Beckyâs problem is. She couldnât even let a baby live. That woman is pure evil.â
âBecky, Iâm going to put a stop to this. Those bitches didnât see what happened yet theyâre gossiping about you!â Jessie cried indignantly.
Becky glanced at the door and said indifferently, âJust let them say whatever they want.â
âWhy? Since when have you become such a pushover?â
âI have a way to clear my name.â Becky winked at her friend.
âWhat? How?â
Becky leaned over and whispered something in Jessieâs ear. Jessie was stunned for a while. Then she clicked her tongue and said approvingly, âThis is the Becky I know!â
âCan you help me with the hospital discharge procedures? I have to get divorced.â Becky smiled.
