Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 86

“Sean, I have never done you wrong.” Myra suddenly raised her head and looked into the eyes of the happy couple before her. “I don’t know what is the matter with Lyla and your baby, but I have never hurt your child. I have never forgotten my duty as your wife over the past two years. Not only am I serious about our family, but I even kept our marriage a secret and went to work as a designer in the company for your sake. But everything turned out to be my wishful thinking!”

She was always in business attire, which she put on for him as she shed the finicky airs of the daughter of a wealthy family and plunged into the workplace. Although the workplace was beset with difficulties, she never complained of exhaustion or thought of flinching for the sake of his career. Sadly, her smart attire looked intimidating at a glance, for it seemed too rigid and out of place compared to the long green dress that showed off one’s tenderness.

“Do you know nothing about the baby?” Sean narrowed his eyes while staring icily at the lady before him. “Myra, should I say that you’re deliberately acting dumb or trying to shirk your responsibility? Would Lyla and I have lost the baby had you not offered a spiked drink to her back then?! What kind of show are you trying to put up with right now? Don’t you think you’re too full of yourself?!”

Offering Lyla a spiked drink…

Myra seemed to have grasped something, for she suddenly raised her head to look at Sean. “I never offered her any drinks. Did she miscarry her baby after our encounter?” She said the last sentence in a whisper.

Sean’s expression turned even colder. “That’s right. Didn’t you say you went to meet Lyla to reassure her by telling her that you wouldn’t marry me? Why did you get rid of our baby?! And why did you end up marrying me?!”

Myra opened her mouth; her face instantly turned as white as a sheet. It was her fault for not keeping her promise by marrying Sean, but the baby… The baby…

“I’ve never spiked any of her drinks! I wasn’t the one who spiked the drink… Besides, how do you two know that she miscarried the baby because of the drink?”

Lyla is a cunning woman, so what if she said that on purpose to set me up just like what she did just now? Myra looked desperately at Sean as if she had found a clue.

Just then, Lyla wept in a low voice, “Sean… that’s enough… The baby… didn’t have the luck to come to this world… Don’t blame Myra anymore… I have given up long ago…”

Sean’s face was as black as thunder. Staring at Myra, he uttered word by word, “You didn’t offer her any spiked drinks?! Ha… Do you know that Lyla was rushed to the hospital for miscarriage shortly after stepping out of the cafe? She asked the waiter to keep the cup she used back then, and it was found out afterward that the drink in it had been spiked with something you prepared beforehand!”

Myra trembled violently. She didn’t know what had gone wrong, but she didn’t do anything to that cup of coffee. “I didn’t… I really didn’t…”

She didn’t know how else to explain herself, as she had already been labeled as a vicious woman in Sean’s mind a long time ago; he even accused her of trying to kill Eris when that woman jumped into the water that time…
