The Pinnacle Of Life

The slap startled Cheryl. It made her cheek burn up.

And the worst part was what Claire had said. Cheryl knew that she was innocent—she was just a doctor, nothing else. Why did she have to endure such treatment?

Claire’s loud yelling caught the attention of numerous nurses and families in the hospital.

Cheryl was pissed off. “Please mind your words, madam. Please do not spout such nonsense.”

Claire was an extremely hot-tempered woman, the type to hold a grudge and get revenge.

She swung her hand again, slapping Cheryl across the face. Cheryl couldn’t even dodge it.

Claire yelled, “Bullsh*t! Mind my words? Anyone would know that you’re the one who should mind your words! Seducing someone else’s husband like the sl*t that you are, and even hugging in public like this! Why don’t you just admit to being a shameless sl*t? I saw everything! There’s even saliva on your clothes! You guys just aren’t naked yet…”

Everyone was looking at them now, gossiping softly.

Cheryl was so triggered she felt like bursting in anger.

Alex was still in a daze just a while ago. But he snapped back to reality and pulled Claire aside.

“Mum, don’t accuse Dr. Cheryl. We didn’t do anything. I… I was just too sad and wanted a hug.”

“Sad and wanted a hug? So you’re saying that you’d get in bed with her if you’re sadder, huh?” Claire said. Suddenly, she noticed that the Love in a Fallen City necklace was hanging around Cheryl’s neck.

Her expression darkened. “And if you say you’re not cheating, what is she wearing around her neck then? You lied to me yesterday. You said you gave it to a five-year-old girl. What is that then? Is she a five-year-old girl? You jerk, you’ve been living off of us and yet you’re here clinging to another woman. What kind of man are you?”
