Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 20

Sharon told Winona that Benjamin had undergone a vasectomy on the second day of their marriage. Therefore, the baby Sharon was carrying at that moment was highly likely Benjamin’s only child in his life.

Blood was flowing profusely from the part in between Sharon’s legs, but the pain did not seem to bother her. Wearing a malevolent smile, her eyes were gleaming evilly because she was certain Winona was doomed this time. At that moment, she looked no different from a witch.

Winona looked at her calmly. “Is it worthwhile to sacrifice the happiness of your life just to destroy me?”

Sharon giggled maniacally, “I’m willing to go through this for a hundred times as long as I can destroy you.”

“Do you really hate me that much?”

Sharon stopped laughing abruptly. Instead, her face was contorted with rage and hatred. “Winona Winston, I hate you to the core. You’ve deprived me of so many things I could have had in my life. Because of you, my mother and I were forced to live our lives like a fugitive for years. I’m the real deal, not you! You’re nothing but a…”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside. Yvonne and a group of people stormed into the room.

“Mr. Stanley, Winona pushed Mrs. Larson just now! I saw it with my eyes!” Yvonne exclaimed righteously.

Immediately, Sharon put on a bitter expression and started wailing her heart out. “Winona, I understand that you’re jealous of my marriage with Benjamin. Yet, our child is innocent. How could you be so cruel?”

All eyes fell on Winona at that moment. Their eyes contained a mixture of contempt, suspicion, and relish.

Norman found himself caught between a rock and a hard place. While Winona was a general’s wife, Sharon was the deputy mayor’s wife. Although the latter was not as prestigious as the former, Norman could not overlook the fact that she was one of the Larsons. Not only was the Larson family the top family in Bolwich, but they were also quite well-known in the entire country. Even the president treated the family with a great deal of respect.

To everyone’s surprise, Winona, who was accused of being the culprit, spoke with admirable composure, “We should stop the bleeding first or the patient’s life will be in danger.”

Winona did not allow her grudge with Sharon to affect her judgment. Once she put on the white coat, she had to carry out her responsibility as a doctor no matter how much she resented Sharon.

She would abide by the Hippocratic Oath and be an ethical doctor—that was the most important principle in her life.

Only after Winona made that remark did everyone else realize how dire the situation was. Hastily, they carried Sharon to the operating theater.

Yvonne immediately got in touch with the Larsons and gave them an exaggerated story involving Winona’s evil deed. With a gloating expression, she looked at Winona and said, “The police and the Larsons will be here soon. Well, you may give General Snider a call too. I wonder what he will choose between you and his career.”

“I’m never a dumb woman who causes trouble to my husband,” Winona said with a crooked smile.

Irritated by her smugness, Yvonne scowled, “You’re a nobody without General Snider!”

Winona regarded Yvonne with a disdainful smile. “Sharon and I have always been arch rivals, so I’m not surprised to know that she hates me. What about you? Why do you see me as your enemy too? Is it because you’re jealous that I get to marry Matt?”

Yvonne stiffened.

Winona covered her mouth and chortled, “I think my guess is right. Unfortunately, you aren’t the type of girl Matt will be interested in because he’s a clean freak. Why don’t you just carry on your fling with Mr. Stanley? Although he’s in his sixties, I suppose he will be able to satisfy your needs with the help of some Viagra.”

Yvonne stomped her feet in fury. “I bet you won’t dare to speak so snobbishly when the Larsons get here!”
