Outside Bellevue Hospital.
Marie Kreutz held her abdomen, staring blankly at the two pieces of paper in her hand. One informed her that she was two months pregnant, while the other was a ruthless gastric tumor death sentence. From heaven to hell was just a moment for her. The same as her marriage to that man three years ago.
Marie didnt know how she left the hospital. When she got home, the night was already deep, and the white moonlight enveloped her as a cool breeze blew gently. She stood outside the villa, her slightly trembling hand stuffed the two crumpled white papers into her pocket, hesitated for a moment, entered the password, and pushed the door into the villa.
The house was as dark and silent as usual. She glanced at her watch; it was nine oclock in the evening, and a sudden sourness welled up in her heart. Ethan, who didnt come home until midnight, was indeed not there.
As always, Marie rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. Forty minutes later, a table full of dishes was laid out on the dining table. She sat quietly in front of the table, watching the wall clock, counting the seconds as time passed. Ethan would be back a bit later.
The aroma of the food penetrated her nostrils, and a wave of nausea hit her stomach. Marie couldnt help but retch, gently covering her aching stomach. She used to be careless.
Death, she was not afraid, but...
Her slender hand slowly moved to her abdomen; now there was a baby in her belly...
"Bang"
The muffled sound of the door being slammed brought Maries thoughts back. Ethan, with a flushed face, walked in.
Marie restrained her sorrowful emotions and quickly got up to help the man who was a bit tipsy from the smell of alcohol: "Ethan, youre back, wash your hands and eat."
Ethan, with a red face and eyes full of anger, pushed the woman beside him and violently pulled the tablecloth: "Thinking that these are made by your hands stained with the blood of my parents, I feel nauseous!"
"Clatter"
The food on the table was all overturned on the ground, and the bowl of hot chicken soup splashed directly on Maries hand.
Marie was scalded, and her white hands were branded with a bit of crimson, bringing a burning pain, but she did not shout out, because after three years of marriage, this kind of pain was no longer surprising.
But... the pain in her heart was deeper and deeper each time.
In Ethans eyes, she was always a ruthless and vicious murderer, and the groundless charges of that year were all placed on her head.
Marie bent down to pick up the broken bowls and plates, helplessly mechanically repeating the pale explanation she had been saying for three years: "I didnt hire anyone to cause that accident back then, and my grandmother was also in the car. Why would I want to kill them?"
"Reason, isnt the reason that you are not willing to leave all the family property to your sister Sarah?"
Ethan forcefully picked up Marie, who was squatting on the ground, his eyes wide and fierce: "Reason, isnt it because you have always wanted to marry me, but I love your sister!"
The fierce voice just fell, and Marie was pulled up by a fierce force. Two inspection reports slipped out of Maries pocket.
She hurriedly shook off Ethans hand, bent down in a panic to pick up the paper, but was immediately snatched by Ethan.
They each held one of the two inspection reports in their hands at this time.
When those cold and fierce eyes saw the content on the paper, he turned to look at her: "How long have you planned to hide this from me?"
Maries breathing was rapid, and her heart tightened. Which report did Ethan hold in his hand: "Hide, hide what from you?"
