"Zayla, explain the blood on the ground!"

Simon's gaze was icy, and he looked at Zayla with hatred.

Simon's voice buzzed around Zayla. She had loved Simon for five years, yet he disappointed her completely and made her tremble in fear...

There was a reception party for Simon's uncle today.

Three hours ago, Zayla received a text message from Simon that the party would be held at Dorado Villa. Simon asked her to arrange it in advance.

However, the moment Zayla stepped into the house, Simon's childhood sweetheart, Norah Pollard, ate aborticide in front of Zayla.

When she realized that Norah tried to frame her, Zayla turned around and wanted to run, but it was too late.

"I'll say it again. I didn't!"

Simon sneered. "It is said that villagers are simple and kind. How can you lie without even blushing? I saw Norah covered in blood with my own eyes, and I heard her begging you not to hurt the baby. But you are still quibbling?"

"Simon, you're the one who had an affair. Even if I hate you and Norah, I won't descend to such a cheap trick to hurt the baby in her belly."

"I told you earlier that Norah and I just had a one-night stand. When she gives birth to the baby, I will deal with it. But how could you give her aborticide?"

"She ate it herself. It has nothing to do with me."

Zayla kept explaining, but at that time, there was only her and Norah in the house. No matter how Zayla explained it, it was useless.

"Are you kidding me? How could Norah kill her own baby? Zayla, do you think anyone will believe your words?"

Indeed, Simon did not believe it, and no one would believe it.

Norah was the daughter of the Pollard family. Even if the Pollard family was no longer as good as before, it was still powerful. Who was Zayla? In the eyes of those people, she was just a bumpkin.

Just because of that, no one would believe her.

Moreover, how could a mother kill her own child? Norah was very kind in the eyes of outsiders. Nobody believed that she would be so ruthless and hurt her own baby.

Needless to say, Norah took a risky move, but she won a narrow victory.

"Zayla, you are so ruthless!"

Simon gritted his teeth, grabbed Zayla's neck, and pressed her against the wall.

Zayla's face was pale, and she was almost short of breath.

She had asthma.

"The pill..." Zayla hurriedly fumbled in her pocket, looking for the medicine bottle. Her hands could not stop trembling, and it was even hard to open the bottle.

However, the moment Zayla opened it, someone ruthlessly slapped the medicine bottle down.

Boom...

The medicine bottle fell to the ground, and the white pills scattered.

"Enough! Zayla, stop pretending." Simon released his hand, his face sullen.

Zayla's body went limp, and she fell heavily to the ground.

She had to take medicine.

Zayla looked at the pills scattered all over the ground, and she propped herself up and struggled to move...

"Zayla, how long are you going to pretend?"

Simon was furious. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He crushed the pills with his shiny leather shoes and stepped on the back of Zayla's hand.

Zayla was in so much pain as she gasped. It was difficult for her to breathe, but the pain made her especially clear-headed...

As such, Zayla could deeply feel how cruel Simon was.

Simon squatted down and pinched her chin. He said coldly, "Wipe the blood off the ground before my uncle arrives at the house. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, Simon turned around and left, not even giving her one more look...

In these five years, when had he ever cared about her? It was Zayla who was stubborn and insisted on marrying him.

Outside the door, Simon was on the phone asking about Norah's situation. His tone was anxious, and he was very concerned about her.

Then came the sound of footsteps. Simon seemed to leave in a hurry. It could be seen how worried he was about his childhood sweetheart.

Heh...

Zayla laughed at herself and wanted to grab the shattered pills, but she didn't have the slightest strength...

"Help..."

Gradually, her breathing became faint, and she lost consciousness...

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a person came in against the light.

Zayla wondered, is he back?
