Chapter 2 I Want A Divorce

Jeff sneered at Cindy with contempt, "A divorce? Cindy, you need to think through this clearly. You have nothing without me. What will you live on if we get divorced?"

"It's none of your business! I don't want to stay with someone like you anymore. I want a divorce!"

Without another word, she turned around and left. Cindy didn't want to be around them any longer. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her anger and end up spitting on them.

She left the company and got inside her car, but Cindy didn't know where to go.

She had met Jeff when they were still in college. Back then, she was determined to marry that poor man. She even abandoned her family and friends just to come with him to this unfamiliar city.

For the last three years, she had taken good care of her in-laws and was always busy with housework. Because of that, she barely had time to go out for social activities. Lina was her closest friend in the city and the others were simply acquaintances.

Now that her family and her only friend had both betrayed her, she had nothing.

The sky darkened outside and the gloomy clouds rolled into view. Cindy heard the thunder cackle across the sky as the rain flooded the streets.

Her heart was as cold as the pouring rain.

She pensively started the car and wandered around the streets aimlessly.

The rain came down heavily and only a few people could be seen on the road. Everything was quiet except for the sound of the raindrops colliding with the concrete floor.

Cindy drove absent-mindedly and outside, she saw a bright red figure on the roadside in the rain.

She didn't pay much attention to it. Just as she was about to drive through the figure, her car suddenly stopped. She patted the steering wheel angrily and sighed in frustration. With a huff, she grabbed her umbrella and got down to take a look.

As soon as she opened the car door, the rain spewed on her face. It was raining so hard that the umbrella was useless in preventing her from getting wet. Her clothes immediately got drenched with rain water.

Still holding the umbrella in her hand, Cindy carefully walked towards the front of her car to take a look, but suddenly stepped on something soft. She looked down and found a toy bear on the ground. Not too far away, she found a small and pale hand.

Cindy was stunned to see a little girl wearing a red dress sprawled on the ground. She hadn't been able to identify that the red figure was a little girl because of the rain.

In shock, she dropped her umbrella. Cindy quickly ran towards the little girl, hailed a taxi and took her straight to the hospital.

She anxiously waited outside the emergency room and suddenly felt her belly twitching. Covering it with her hands, she realized that her baby inside was probably annoyed by what happened.

She quickly sat down on a chair, a burst of pain coming from her lower abdomen. It almost crushed her. She opened her mouth to call for the doctor, but the pain prevented her from speaking.

The people in the emergency room were very busy. Nobody noticed that a woman curled up in a corner seat and almost fainted because of the pain she felt.

No way! Her baby! Somebody must save her child!

At this moment, Cindy suddenly felt very lonely. She wondered if anyone would care if she died here.

Her parents had gotten divorced a long time ago and each of them had their own families. They no longer cared about her. When she insisted on marrying Jeff, they broke all relations with her and didn't bother to call her after that. She tried to contact them once, but it turned out that they had changed their phone numbers.

As for the family she had taken good care of, she had a husband who cheated on her, and a mother-in-law who hated her and wanted to see her out of the house as soon as possible.

It turned out that she had been living in a dream that she made up. Now that the illusion was broken, she finally realized that she was in a pitiful situation.

Cindy struggled as she tried to stand up, but the severe pain in her lower abdomen made her dizzy. She could not control of her own body.

She felt another wave of pain shocking her body. With barely any energy left in her, she felt her eyes roll back and succumbed into darkness.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed with a needle in her hand.

Did the doctor find her in a coma?

Cindy weakly raised her hand to touch her belly and found that the pain had disappeared. She gently stroked her belly, her eyes filled with a look of tenderness and sadness.

'Baby, you're the only one I have now.'

Suddenly, the door of the ward opened and a little girl of about four or five years old ran inside towards her. With an excited smile, the girl shouted, "Auntie, you're finally awake!"

"Who are you? Why am I here?"

The little girl tilted her head innocently, which made her look very cute. "Auntie, I'm Angela. You saved me just now."

Angela? Cindy looked at the lovely girl in front of her and couldn't connect her with the cold and pale child that she found on the road.

"It's you. Are you all right? You've just recovered, so don't run around."

"It's okay, auntie. It's not a big deal."

Cindy's heart softened as she looked at her cute and angelic face. She raised her hand to touch the girl's hair and said, "That's good. I'm relieved."

Angela stuck her tongue out and ran out of the room, saying she would call for a doctor.

After a short while, Angela came back with a doctor and a tall man dressed in a suit. He was very handsome and had a strong aura around him.

Angela held the man's hand and walked towards Cindy. "Auntie, this is my father. Dad, this is the auntie who saved me."

The man glanced at Cindy and politely said, "Thank you for saving my daughter. I will pay you back."

Cindy shook her head and quickly refused, "You don't have to do that. I didn't do much for her."

She stared at his handsome face and found that he looked extremely familiar. She couldn't help but ask, "Mister, have we met before? You look familiar to me."

Before he could answer, Angela interrupted, "Auntie, my father's name is Bruce. He often appears on TV, so that probably why he looks familiar to you!"

Bruce?! She suddenly figured out why he seemed familiar. He was Bruce Xia, the youngest CEO of a financial conglomerate in K city.

Cindy was surprised. No wonder he looked familiar to her. Jeff was a big fan of his and was always talking about him. He liked to collect all kinds of news about Bruce Xia, determined to be just like him.

As she thought of Jeff, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She forced a smile on her face and gleamed at the father and daughter in front of her. "Oh, it's you. Yes, I've heard a lot about you."

Bruce Xia looked at the woman quietly lying down on the bed. Very few women would keep calm after hearing his name. Most of them usually couldn't wait to get close to him.

Just as he was about to respond, the doctor suddenly interrupted, "Miss, you're more than one month pregnant. How can you be careless enough to get drenched in the rain? You must be careful and protect yourself from having miscarriage! I'll prescribe some medicine for you to protect your baby. Be careful in the future."

Cindy felt scared upon hearing this. She quickly promised, "Okay, okay, I will be more attentive in the future."

The doctor measured Cindy's basic physical data and left after making sure that everything was fine.

That left the three of them in the big ward.

Angela innocently held Cindy's hand and asked, "Auntie, you have a little baby. Is it a boy or a girl?"

She pinched Angela's pink face and chuckled. "I don't know yet. I'll find out after a few months."

Angela nodded and carefully lifted the quilt carefully to curiously look at Cindy's belly.

She gently smiled at Angela's curious and childish action.

Bruce Xia's eyes softened as he saw Cindy's and Angela's intimate interaction and thought of something. After a few moments of silence, he asked, "Do you need me to notify your husband to come to the hospital?"

"No, thanks." Cindy shook her head with a bitter smile. Her husband was probably making out with other women right now.

Looking at her bitter face, Bruce Xia explained, "Angela is my only child. Since you saved her, I will certainly repay you. If you have any difficulties, please let me know."

"No, it's okay. You don't have to repay me. It doesn't matter. I just found out that my husband was having an affair with my best friend and I have nowhere to go now."

Cindy nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders, pretending to be indifferent to the situation. However, her eyes betrayed her as it was filled with sadness.

"Auntie is so pitiful! She is homeless. Dad, can she stay with us?"

Angela tugged Bruce Xia's trousers and looked up at him with tearful eyes.

Cindy felt warm inside. This little girl was so adorable, cute, and sensible!

"I'm not pitiful. You need to be a good girl. I'll come and visit you when I have time!"

"Auntie..." Angela blinked and pouted. "But I like auntie and I want to be with you."

"I like you too. But you must be a good girl. We'll definitely meet again."

"If you don't have a place to go, why don't you stay in our house?" Bruce Xia suddenly interjected, leaving Cindy confused.

She perplexedly gaped at him and didn't understand what he meant.

Bruce Xia cleared his throat and explained, "You saved Angela's life and she seemed to really like you. If you don't mind, you can stay in our mansion and take care of her. I'll pay you. How much do you want?"

Cindy hesitated, "But wealthy families like yours don't lack a nanny, right?"

"I don't like them," Angela whispered in Cindy's ear and frowned.

Cindy understood what she meant. It turned out that they had many nannies before and a lot of them were young and inexperienced. They all dreamed of becoming the hostess of the house one day. Instead of taking care of Angela, they tried a thousand ways to seduce Bruce Xia into falling in love with them. Some of the women even came from wealthy families. They deliberately hid their family background and pretended to be nannies so that they could get close to him. As for the older and more experienced nannies, most of them had the intention of helping their own daughters marry a rich man.
