After My Mother-in-law Died, I Said Goodbye to the Wrong Marriage

My indifference made Adam so angry that his chest heaved violently. He picked up a pen in exasperation and signed the agreement. However, he exerted too much force, and the pen almost broke the agreement. "Lora, you'd better be serious! If you insist on divorcing me, don't regret it later! Besides, don't push the blame onto me with my mother..." "Alright!" I really wanted to tell him that his mother had already paid with her life for his mistake. Adam was stunned. My attitude was not within his expectations. He must have prepared a lot of accusations against me, but unfortunately, I didn't give him a chance to show them off. After waiting for a long time, when Adam saw that I refused to back down, he looked me up and down with a depressed expression. "You're so confident. Are you really pregnant?" My heart skipped a beat. I was actually looking forward to what would happen if Adam found out that I was pregnant. "Since you want a divorce, even if you really have a baby, abort it as soon as possible! I don't want you to keep pestering me!" My heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and it was badly hurt. I frowned and looked at him. I didn't understand why he had the nerve to think that I would keep the baby to keep pestering him. "Don't worry, I'll divorce you and have an abortion according to your mother's last words. I've always listened to her..." Adam threw the pen hard at me. "Enough! Aren't you disgusting? My mother has treated you well. Will you stop being a bitch as to curse her for no reason?" My hands couldn't help trembling. As a result, I failed to control myself and slapped Adam in the face. "This slap is for your mother! If you were my son, I would beat you to death, bastard!" Adam covered his face in disbelief. "Lora, are you crazy?" The pain in my belly forced me to put down my trembling hand. "After the formalities are completed tomorrow, I'll pack up and leave." Adam got furious again. "You want to move out? What about my mom?" Lucy once said that if Adam and I really got divorced, she would definitely go with me. The two of us could raise my baby together. "I've already sent Lucy away. You don't have to worry about it!" Adam grabbed me with a freaked-out look. "My mother is aged. Why are you torturing her again? Or are you coaxing her to play along and threaten me?" Adam was afraid that if I took my mother-in-law away, he wouldn't have a free nanny. The man in front of me was so hypocritical that I wanted to vomit. "How dare you mention her?" I took out my phone and wanted to ask him why he blocked me and why he ignored my calls and messages. Adam was a top surgeon. If he was willing to go to the scene for first aid as soon as possible, Lucy would've been rescued. Lucy was hit at the entrance of the club. However, Adam didn't believe that something had happened to his mother. Just as he didn't believe that I was really pregnant. When the abdominal pain attacked me again, I couldn't bother to waste my time on Adam. I pressed the death certificate tightly in my bag. "See you at the City Court at eight o'clock tomorrow." "You just can't wait, can you?" I didn't understand what Adam meant. He had already signed the divorce agreement. Was he going to go back on his word? Or did he think that I would regret breaking up with him two days later like when I was in love? "That's right. After all, the more I look at you, the more disgusted I feel." Hearing this, Adam stared at me in disbelief. "Lora, you win! I dare you to not regret it!" I checked the time. I had to go to the hospital. When I was about to turn around and leave, Adam stopped me. "Wait!" As Adam tugged at my bag, it fell to the ground, and bits and pieces of things fell out. I quickly hid the death certificate. "What are you hiding?"

"Nothing important." With a gloomy face, Adam rummaged through my bag and only found a blood-stained pregnancy test report. He took a look at the pregnancy test report and threw it into the trash can. "Did you just use your position to forge your pregnancy? How dare you do that!" I picked up the pregnancy test report from the trash can out of control and scolded Adam angrily. "Do you know whose baby this is? Do you know whose blood it is? In order to save our marriage and prove to you that I'm pregnant, Lucy even lost her life!" After shouting, I lost all my strength and leaned against the wall to barely stand firm. "Enough! Just because you're talking loud doesn't mean you're in the right. If you curse my mom again, I'll beat you up!" At this moment, Adam's arrogance and blind confidence were undoubtedly revealed. He would always believe what he wanted to believe. A sense of powerlessness enveloped me. When Adam asked me if I was pregnant, I was still wavering about the abortion. After all, my mother-in-law had been looking forward to my baby since she knew that I was pregnant. However, I didn't dare to take the risk because of Adam's bad character. What if the baby was like Adam? I didn't want to repeat my mother-in-law's tragedy. "See you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" "As you wish! I'll surely be there!" After saying that, Adam slammed the door and left, but he stopped at the door for three seconds. He was waiting for me to apologize. Unfortunately, I didn't even give him a look. He was so angry that he pointed at me for a long time and left with a livid face. In the past, as long as he threatened me, I would compromise for love in a panic. This seemed to have become our tacit understanding. It was just because I love him to the core. However, the moment Lucy died, my love for Adam completely vanished. The next day, I waited early in the hall of the City Court, but I didn't see Adam. He blacklisted me again. After waiting for three hours, I arrived at the hospital decisively since Adam still hadn't come to the City Court. My assistant Sherry Lance had been waiting for me for a long time. "Lora, how much did you suffer in order to get pregnant? Are you really willing to give up?" I touched my flat belly and said flatly, "My mother-in-law wanted me to get a divorce and abortion..." I didn't hide the details from Sherry. She was stunned for a moment and then cursed, "I thought everyone was joking! That scumbag Adam didn't even save his own mother to keep his first love company. Is he a monster?" After saying that, Sherry aggressively went to make trouble for him. I guessed Sherry would be disappointed because I saw that Adam was still on vacation in the group chat. Ever since Rita returned to the country, Adam had only asked for leave to accompany her. Looking at Sherry's back, I was in a trance. Sherry was the junior of me and Adam when we were in college. She had been there when I was first in love with Adam. After ten years, Sherry was still by my side when Adam and I were about to part. Sherry once said that the woman she envied the most was me. "Lora, you're so lucky. Not only are you so in love with your husband, but you also get along well with your mother-in-law. Tell me, how did you get such a perfect man?" When my colleagues in the hospital passed by me, they patted me on the shoulder to comfort me. Sherry came back soon, but her eyes were red and swollen. As expected, she didn't find Adam. I broke a girl's fantasy of love and marriage. Sherry accompanied me to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Mr. Levin wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Lora, the gestational sac is too small. You can only have the operation two weeks later with your constitution." Two weeks? In an instant, my emotions were extremely complicated. "This is too cruel! Are we just gonna wait and make sure nothing goes wrong when we kill him? Mr. Levin, isn't this murder..." Sherry hugged me, her eyes filled with tears again. She felt sorry for me. Unexpectedly, when we walked out of the department, we bumped into Adam and Rita.

"Lora? Are you here to nurse your health and prepare for pregnancy again? I've got a secret remedy for giving birth to children. Try it. Maybe it can make you pregnant finally." I seemed to have become accustomed to Rita's undisguised arrogance. "Don't bother. I suppose this kind of secret remedy will only work for certain desperate people." Adam's face immediately darkened. "Lora, will holding back your mockery kill you?" "I'm not talking about her. Why are you flipping out?" Adam was so angry that his temples throbbed. Rita's big watery eyes were full of grievance when she said, "Adam, I mean well. Did I do anything wrong?" "You're not in the wrong. It's just that she doesn't know what's good for her!" Sherry couldn't hold it in any longer. She stepped forward and tried to push Adam away but was stopped by Rita. The two of them continued to tussle. "Adam!" Rita cried out in pain, and Adam took her side. How could I let Sherry get hurt because of me? I made a few bloody scratches on Rita's face. Adam ordered me in a low voice, "Lora, you're a shrew! Apologize to Rita! Otherwise..." He thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything to threaten me with. "Why don't we divorce?" Adam turned his face away awkwardly and nodded slightly. In the past, I would have felt hopeless because of leaving Adam. Now, I just wanted to have nothing to do with him. "Don't force me! Otherwise, if we really divorce, you will be the one to regret it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he asked Rita with a gaze that was filled with pity and love. A person's eyes couldn't lie. Once upon a time, Adam looked at me that way. They looked at each other affectionately, but I didn't feel anything particular about it. Sherry was so angry that she was about to cry. I pulled her out. "Don't let some shit stain your eyes!" After giving me a sharp look, Adam hurriedly took Rita to the surgery department to treat her wound. Not far away, I could vaguely hear Rita asking him stupidly, "Adam, am I disfigured? Do I need to be injected with a vaccine?" However, Adam said in a doting and gentle voice, "Don't worry. With me around, you won't be disfigured." Adam was not angry at Rita's sarcastic comment on me. It was clear that he was only in love with Rita now. It was ridiculous that my mother-in-law died for this man's sake. It was also hilarious that I was about to have an abortion for him. Sherry accompanied me home to pack up. At first glance, she saw all kinds of couple's items in the living room. "Lora, can I throw them away?" I glanced at the stuff indifferently. "Throw them away. Trash should be sent to the garbage station!" When I was packing up, Sherry destroyed everything that represented my love with Adam for me. This home of love, which was built by me and Adam, was no longer warm in an instant. Just as Sherry was treating all the couple's belongings as garbage, Adam came back with Rita. "What are you doing?" "Hey, isn't this bitch Rita's Adam? I'm helping you clean up the garbage for free!" Sherry almost called Adam trash openly. His face instantly darkened. "Lora, are you going to destroy our house?" I smiled and said nothing. Since Adam could get no response from me, he was so angry that he smashed the biggest wedding photo. He was so exasperated that he picked up the scissors and cut the photo into pieces. "Lora, if this is what you want, I'll do as you wish!" Silently watching him go crazy, I reined in my smile and looked into his eyes. "Are you done? Let's go to the City Court!" Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Adam suddenly stood up, and his eyes turned red. "I didn't expect you to be so cruel and heartless! You keep talking about divorce. Have you considered my mother's feelings? Do you have to piss her off?" "As I said, divorce is what Lucy wanted for us according to her last words." Rita watched the show with a smile for a long time, but she didn't get the result she wanted. Finally, she said, "Lora, Mrs. Shaw regards you as her own daughter. Is this how you treat her? Isn't that disappointing? Adam and I are each other's first love. You can't deprive us of our right to recall our youth. You shouldn't divorce him or curse your mother-in-law to death! Which woman would ruin her family like this?" Adam snorted in cooperation and looked at me sharply with deep hatred as if he wanted to cut me into pieces. He had forgotten that he was the one who had smashed the photos the living room. "If you want a divorce, send my mother back!" "That's right. After all, Adam is her biological son. Lora, you're an outsider! I know you like to occupy other people's stuff, but you can't take everything! You can't just occupy his mom because you have no mother!" These words were vicious. Adam knew full well that being an orphan would be a trauma for the rest of my life, but he only frowned to express his displeasure and did not stop Rita from humiliating me. Sherry had been holding back her anger for a long time. She rubbed her wrist and wanted to go up again. I didn't want her to get involved, so I motioned for her to take my luggage first. "Lora, I'll give you half an hour to restore the house to its original state! Otherwise, you won't be able to explain it when Mom comes back!" After that, Adam went to clean up the room with a gloomy face. He gave me the illusion that he didn't want a divorce. Seeing this, Rita could no longer keep the smile on her face. While I was moving my luggage, she deliberately stretched out her foot and tripped my suitcase. Caught off guard, I fell heavily to the ground with the suitcase. The pain of the broken glass piercing into the palm was not as severe as the pain of the abdomen hitting the suitcase. I immediately felt a warm current gusting out of my body. When Adam heard the noise, he looked at me disdainfully. "Now you're playing weak and pitiful? Stop pretending and get up quickly!" He tried his best to pull me up, only to find that my face was pale. He frowned and asked me tentatively, "Lora? What's wrong?" Rita hated it the most when Adam cared about her. The resentment in her eyes was not hidden at all. Just as I was thinking that something was wrong, Rita kicked the back of my hand in a blind spot. The glass shard pierced my palm, and the pain mixed with the abdominal pain almost made me faint. Adam's angry roar forced me to wake up. "Lora! How long are you going to pretend? Are you going to put on a show now?"
