Scarlett had never uttered a single complaint in the past, so he genuinely never thought he was treating her badly.
Only now did he realize that she had been silently enduring so much pain, while he remained completely oblivious and took it all for granted.
"It seems you haven't reflected on yourself for a single second."
Scarlett looked down at his bleeding arm and let out a scoff.
"Maybe in your eyes, I'm just an employee on call 24/7. An accessory to satisfy your control issues and selfish desires. An incubator. Never a flesh-and-blood wife who feels pain and exhaustion!"
She raised the box cutter, pointing it right at his eyes. The icy glare in her gaze shot toward him like frozen arrows.
"A little cut on your arm? You think that's pain? Do you have any idea that when I was giving birth, I hemorrhaged? I lost 2,000 milliliters of blood, went into hemorrhagic shock, and the doctors almost had to remove my uterus!"
"What?"
Yardley descended into full-blown panic, his voice trembling. "I... I didn't know. Why... why didn't you tell me?"
Standing among the crowd, Clarissa's eyes darkened, and she instinctively stared at Scarlett.
When Scarlett was in labor, Clarissa had been on a business trip in Southeast Asia, so she hadn't been there either.
No one in the Flynn family knew what Scarlett was talking about.
The baby Scarlett delivered was a Flynn. Her own niece... Clarissa felt a sharp twinge in her chest, as if someone had taken a whip to her conscience.
Scarlett glared at him coldly.
"Your mother was there. Do you want to know what she said?"
Yardley was stunned. His mother was there?
But if Scarlett had been in such a critical condition, why hadn't his mother ever mentioned it?
Yardley went completely numb.
"What did she say?"
