Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 6

“It was me who called 911. My brother…”

Gwen couldn’t keep her mouth shut. The moment she saw Bethan’s expression, it was already too late.

Bethan squeezed her eyes shut, her heart hollow and dead.

Of course. His first love was back, and she’d brought a five-year-old son with her.

Why would he give a damn whether Bethan lived or died?

Her heart was throbbing painfully.

Bethan clutched her chest with both hands, curled up into a ball, and mumbled, “Fiona, Gwen, my mom just had heart bypass surgery. I don’t want them to see me in the hospital. Can you guys take me home?”

Fiona quickly told her daughter to go downstairs and start the car. “The doctor said you fainted because of low blood sugar and stress. You’ll be better off resting at home. It’s way more convenient there.

“And don’t worry. I’ll handle this. I’ve already called Hugh and told him to come back ASAP.”

On the way home, Bethan reminded Fiona and Gwen again not to interfere in her relationship with Hugh.

No matter how much it hurt, she wanted to figure this out on her own.

Gwen and her mom spent the whole day at Bethan’s, taking care of her and making sure she didn’t skip her medication.

But Hugh never showed up.

Bethan tossed and turned all day. By evening, she finally had some strength back.

After convincing them she was okay, she managed to get them to go home and rest.

Standing in front of the bathroom sink, Bethan stared at herself in the mirror. In just a few days, she’d become a shell of her former self.

She squeezed some toothpaste onto her toothbrush, brushed her teeth, and reached for the cup.

With a loud crash, the cup slipped from her hands and shattered on the floor.

Bethan slowly crouched down and picked up a ceramic piece. The picture of her and Hugh on the cup was broken into tiny fragments.

This cup was custom-made for their first wedding anniversary.

It was part of a matching set, with a selfie she’d taken when she playfully snuggled up to Hugh.

Hugh had thought it was cheesy and refused to use it.

She’d begged him for a whole week, and when she cried herself to sleep one night, he’d finally given in.

Bethan’s barely-held-together emotions exploded again.

She stood up, smashed the other toothbrush cup, and then swept everything on the sink counter onto the floor.

She destroyed everything from the bathroom sink to the shower area.

After about ten minutes, Bethan collapsed on the floor, completely exhausted. Around her were scattered bath products, broken glass, towels, and charging cables.

Bethan lay there in the mess.

She cried and then suddenly burst out laughing.

She’d imagined so many different futures with Hugh, but she’d never thought it would end up like this.

How pathetic.

Meanwhile, at Cavill Manor, Fiona was furious when she saw her son finally walk through the door.

“Hugh, where were you? Do you even know Bethan was in the hospital?”

Hugh replied coolly, “What did the doctor say?”

Gwen glared at her brother. “The doctor said Bethan fainted because of low blood sugar and because you stressed her out so much.”

Hugh just grunted in response.

Fiona scolded him, “Your wife fainted at home. You’re not acting like a husband at all. What’s with that attitude?”

Hugh said, “Don’t worry. She’s fine.”

He thought she was just putting on an act.

Fiona angrily grabbed Bethan’s medical report and threw it in front of Hugh. Hugh casually glanced down at it.

Look at that.
