Adam and Tracey walked out of the hospital. He was a little confused. "Why didn't you mention it?"
"It's not necessary. I don't want to rub salt into her wounds. Carmen had that coming."
"She should have known she was committing a crime when she paid someone to kill me. I'm not gonna get her out of jail."
"That's good. Not everyone deserves to be forgiven." Adam secretly hoped that Carmen would suffer more.
Although Tracey was fine now, he knew what she had been through.
"Well, in short, this is none of our business. Let's go home." She took his hand.
"Okay." No matter what was happening outside, he would make sure they had a safe and warm home.
When they were about to get in the car, Tracey saw Ruth walking towards the hospital. She was carrying a fruit basket.
Thinking of the news that Edgar had a car accident, Tracey was sure that Ruth was not here for Adela.
"I saw an acquaintance. You wait for me in the car." Tracey let go of his hand.
"Okay."
Tracey walked towards Ruth.
"Long time no see. Are you here to see her?" Ruth was referring to Adela.
Tracey pulled her to a place where there was no one around. "Now Adela is in hospital, and Edgar had a car accident. Your revenge is complete. Why are you still here?"
"I'm here to visit Edgar." Ruth pointed to the fruit basket in her hand.
"Ruth, you know what I'm saying. You got your revenge and one million bucks. Why don't you leave here and live happily ever after?" Tracey didn't understand her.
Ruth knew that Tracey wanted her to return to a normal life. But once she was on this path, there was no turning back.
"Tracey, can't I visit my child's father?" Ruth smiled slightly.
Tracey was shocked. "Your child's father? Edgar?" She looked at Ruth's flat abdomen.
"Yes, it's been more than half a month." A strange smile appeared on Ruth's face.
Tracey didn't know what to say. Maybe she shouldn't have turned to Ruth in the first place.
"You- you know what he's going through, right?" After a while, she asked.
"I know, he is divorcing Adela."
"Then do you know he may not get a penny out of the divorce? Do you still want to give birth to this child?" Tracey looked at her incredulously.
