Bye, My Ex-husband

Old She gazed up at the ceiling with empty eyes.

Her face was blank, but her heart ached inside.

After a few moments, Janessa slowly came to her senses.

She raised her arm and wiped away her tears, but the pain in her heart couldn't be wiped away and silenced as easily.

When her mother was still alive, she had this special way of making her feel at ease no matter what happened.

She was comforted by the thought that whatever life threw her way, there was someone who supported her unconditionally.

However, in the blink of an eye, her mother was gone.

She suddenly realized that she would have nothing to do with others for the rest of her life for the one loved her most had gone.

It didn’t matter whether she ended up living better or worse because no one would care anymore.

I She took a shaky breath to calm herself and closed her eyes.

The vague sound of her bedroom door opening alerted her.

She assumed that it was Rayan who came in, so she pretended to be asleep.

"How is she?"

Rayan’s low voice filled the room.

It seemed like he was speaking to someone else.

Janessa’'s lip curled, but she didn't say a word.

"Her condition is stable.

She might have been overly stimulated, which led to the bleeding.

The baby is only two months old.

This is a critical time in her pregnancy, so we should continue to monitor the baby's condition."

Was he speaking to Gracie? Why was she here? There was a sharp pain in her chest at the sound of her voice.

The irony of the situation didn't escape her.

She had no intentions of having a baby, and she certainly had no plans to give birth to Rayan’s child.

He was a horrible man! He even had the nerve to get his mistress to treat her! Gracie was also the one who had the honor of announcing the news of her pregnancy to the world.

She wasn't sure if Rayan was doing this to spite her, or to humiliate her in front of Gracie.

However, Gracie’s professional tone made it seem like she was merely examining another patient.

As she assessed Janessa, her face was neutral, and never betrayed what she was thinking for one second.

The sound of high heels clicking against the floor grew louder until it stopped in front of her bed.

Janessa clenched her jaw and tightly clutched the sheets around her as she attempted to get a hold of her temper.
