It's Too Late To Get A Divorce (Alita and Jaydon)

Chapter 84

"I want to thank you." Kim grabbed her hand, holding it delicately. "For giving me a chance to protect you again. I feel really happy."

Alita remained still, letting Kim hold her hand gently. A subtle sense of sadness crept into her heart. What was it about her that made him love her so persistently for such a long time? She wanted to tell him her true feelings but couldn't do so.

Only those who had suffered could understand that kind of anguish. She felt he had suffered enough, so she couldn't bring herself to speak. Her silence led Kim to believe that she had accepted it.

Kim released her hand, stood up, and smiled lightly. "Feeling hungry? I bought some mushroom soup for you. The doctor said you can only have things like omelets and soup for now. No cold or raw foods, as they might affect the healing of your wound."

He had prepared the excuse and informed the doctors and nurses to completely conceal the incident of the miscarriage.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry," Alita said playfully. She felt that it was strange. She had suffered external injuries, so why couldn't she eat something cold?

As she was pondering, Kim poured out the mushroom soup and walked to her bedside to feed her.

He scooped a small spoonful of soup and brought it to her lips. She opened her mouth and drank it.

As she drank the soup, memories flooded back. She couldn't help but think of the time Jaydon had fed her like this. Just that one time, he considerately blew on the soup to cool it before delivering it to her lips. Now, the soup had become increasingly bitter as she ate, to the point where she could barely swallow.

She said, "I'm full."

"You're full after just a little?" Kim looked at the remaining mushroom soup in the bowl.

"Yeah, it's strange. Maybe I was just too hungry. I'll eat more later," Alita said with an awkward smile. She did not know what she was thinking. From now on, that man had to be completely erased from her memory. She couldn't let him continue to affect her mind.

Seeing her lost in thought, Kim didn't press further. "Eat more when you feel hungry later." He put away the soup.

At that moment, a gray figure walked in from outside, holding a meal box in hand. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the newcomer, Alita's face darkened. She said to Kim, "Kim, please go to the entrance of the ward and put up a sign. Those with the last name Lewis and the dog are not allowed inside."

With a helpless smile, Samuel said, "Alita, do you hate me this much? I've always treated you with care."

"Enough, Samuel. Do I need to tell you what kind of person you are? Please leave. I don't want to see you again." Alita pointed to the door, speaking coldly.

If it weren't for him, Jaydon would have believed she was really being held hostage. She and Kim could safely leave. She thought Samuel would help her, but unexpectedly, he played a trick on her at the last moment. If it weren't for him, Jaydon wouldn't have known she was lying. Jaydon wouldn't have cried, leading to their painful separation.

So, Samuel was the most deceitful person.

Kim was somewhat puzzled. When did their relationship become so hostile? Something must have happened between them.

Samuel put down the meal box and stood by the bedside. "Alita, what kind of person am I? How have I treated you? Do you have no feelings for me?"

"Don't be so shameless. Get out!" With a cold face, Alita pointed to the door, sternly shouting. She had nothing more to say to him.

Samuel grabbed her hand, which was pointing straight to the door.

Alita exclaimed, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Samuel tightly held her hand and took off the ring from his finger. Then, he put it on her ring finger, which fit perfectly.

Kim was instantly astonished. He clearly remembered that the last time Samuel had said this ring was a gift from Alita, and Alita claimed that she had found it. But how could such a coincidence happen in the world, and it fit perfectly when she put it on?

Did they have any undisclosed secrets between them?

"Alita, this belongs to you, and you belong to me." Samuel's voice was warm, with a hint of domineering.

"Go to hell, you shameless bastard!" Alita angrily shook off his hand. The men of the Lewis family were all arrogant.

Kim couldn't bear it any longer and forcefully pulled Samuel's hand away. "So, Samuel, you also harbor such improper thoughts about Alita? You are shameless."

"What about you, Kim? You don't hesitate to use another woman to get close to this sister-in-law of yours. You seem quite righteous." Samuel pulled back his hand, smiling lightly. "Alita, I'll come again tomorrow."

As Samuel stepped out, Alita immediately took off the ring, as if it would stick to her hand forever if she waited a second longer.

"What's going on between you and him?" Kim's heart went numb. He was afraid to hear the truth about an affair between them.

"Not much. I don't want anything to do with this person anymore." Alita lay down wearily, closed her eyes, and covered her forehead with her hand.

Kim smiled bitterly. "Don't tell me you had an affair with Samuel and hid it from Jaydon. Then, you want to leave the Lewis family and cut ties with Samuel. He agreed, so he has been pursuing you all this time. Is that the situation?" This was the best explanation he could come up with based on what he had seen.

However, he couldn't accept that Alita, who married Jaydon out of necessity, would secretly have an affair with Samuel.

Alita took her hand away, opened her eyes, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Please don't make baseless guesses. It's not like that."

"Then tell me what the truth is. Tell me!" Kim almost shouted.

"I'm tired now. I don't want to talk about this annoying person anymore. I have nothing to do with him. If you don't believe me, I won't force you." Hearing Kim's shout, Alita frowned in annoyance and turned away.

Kim's heart shattered into pieces. He turned around and quickly walked out of the ward. He couldn't make a judgment immediately. He needed some time to calm down.

The room quieted down again. Alita opened her eyes, gazing at the sky outside the window. She watched a white cloud drift from one end to the other.

Suddenly, her expression changed from confusion to determination. She got out of bed, felt a momentary dizziness, and held onto the bedside. After feeling a bit better, she opened the wardrobe to find her clothes. At the bottom, there was a set of sportswear. She changed into it and walked out of the ward.

She needed to distance herself. This would be the best outcome for everyone. She didn't want to linger with Jaydon, Kim, or Samuel anymore.

*****

Samuel returned home and heard that Jaydon was lying in his room due to alcohol poisoning. He went upstairs to visit Jaydon.

"Jaydon, are you okay?" Samuel asked with insincere concern.

Jaydon lay on the bed with closed eyes. "Is she seriously injured?"

"It's okay, but..." Samuel sighed, seeming hesitant to speak.

Jaydon opened his eyes. "But what?"

Samuel said, "She's pregnant!"

"What?" Jaydon jumped up from the bed, his heart strangely overjoyed. She was really carrying his child.

"Jaydon, what I'm about to say next, you might find it hard to accept, but I think you should know. The child... is gone." Samuel looked sad, but he felt satisfied inwardly. He thought, 'Jaydon, it's time for you to experience true despair.'

Jaydon's ecstatic mood instantly plummeted. He stood in a daze, taking a long time to regain his voice. "She... she aborted the child, didn't she?"

"Yeah, it was her decision. Sorry, Jaydon, there's nothing I could do. Don't be too sad. Get some rest." Samuel pretended to be sorrowful, patted Jaydon's shoulder, turned around, and smiled smugly.

In the vast room, the temperature seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

Jaydon clenched his fists, each joint making a creaking sound. A deep-seated hatred, accompanied by a tearing pain, screamed within him as if wanting to dismember him.

She really heartlessly aborted their child. He cursed inwardly, 'Alita, I will never forgive you, not even in death.'

*****

After calmly contemplating on the rooftop for an hour, Kim decided to believe Alita. Because what he wanted was a future with her, and he didn't want to delve into the past. Returning to the ward, he suddenly found her gone. On the sofa was a set of patient clothing. A bad premonition arose in his mind. Kim frantically ran out of the hospital and drove around the city, searching for Alita everywhere.

However, she had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.

In the evening, Samuel arrived at the ward only to find it empty. The nurse mentioned that the patient had left on her own, and Kim left afterward. The glimmering ring at the bedside was the only thing left.

Three men, scattered in different places, grieved alone. Alita had left, turning their worlds into shades of gray.

*****

One year later. At nine o'clock in the morning, inside an office building in Southernwood City, a white BMW slowly reversed into a parking space. A woman in an elegant purple suit and white high heels stepped out of the car. Her long coffee-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a slightly natural curl and a mature, beautiful demeanor. There was no youthful and playfulness, only a mature and confident aura, exuding a queenly charm.

She walked calmly into the office building and took the elevator to the 11th floor.

The elevator stopped, and she entered a planning company called Blue Light. It was of medium size, but achieving such results within half a year was already quite remarkable.

"Good morning, boss."

"Morning."

She greeted others as she walked, and when she reached the innermost part, she pushed open the office door. On the desk were her photos, a pot of cacti, and a box of business cards with the name Alita printed on them.

In a year, not too long but not too short, in her exclusive world, she embarked on a new life, always moving forward without looking back.

The phone rang. It was a call from the business department. Alita calmly answered, "Hello."

The other party said, "Boss, I just received a wedding planning order. However, the client wants to discuss the concept with you in person."

She replied, "No problem. Ask the client to come in the afternoon."
