Everyone in the presence stood transfixed by what the doctor just said.
Beth was also stunned there and trembled with cold, watching the bank card handed by the doctor.
After a moment of silence, Aaron snatched the card from Beth’s hand and hit it on Beth’s face squarely and hardly.
This even hurt more than the slap of Mr. Johnson.
The sharp corner of the card sketched a clear bloody line on her face.
She covered her face with her hands, tearfully watching Aaron.
Aaron furiously bellowed at her, “Playing dead? How dare you fucking lie to me?”
Terminal uterine cancer? Her days were numbered?
So it turned out that this blood was her menstrual blood.
Fury of being cheated suffused Aaron’s heart, forming a ghastly murderous air around him.
He should be fooled by this woman again!
She even attempted to feign illness so as not to be divorced by him and to earn his compassion.
‘How could there exist such an unscrupulous person in the world?’
Quickly, so much thick hatred and repulsion was written on the pretty face of Aaron that he desired to rip Beth into shreds.
Beth shook her head sharply and cast an indignant look to the doctor, “What’s this card? Why are you framing me? I never gave this to you! Is it Kathy who told you to do this?”
Beth rush towards the doctor and grabbed his sleeves, “Say something! Who told you to do this? What’s your purpose?”
The doctor pretended to be scared and stepped back. He said, with a bit of obvious guilt in his voice, “Mrs. Williams, what are you exactly saying? Don’t you remember? You said that your husband was going to divorce you and you gave me this bank card to ask us to do you a favor. You told us to lie to your husband that you got cancer so that he would give up this plan.”
No! It was not true! She shook her head even more heavily.
The doctor must have been bought over by Kathy.
“You are a liar! Kathy must have given you money!” Beth said incoherently.
The doctor heaved a sign and persuaded her in a seemingly kindly manner, “All right, don’t be so extreme. Feigning illness is not the only way to keep him. He will forgive you if you can confess and apologize to him. It’s not good making such a scene between husband and wife.”
The sense of foreboding was worsened in Beth’s heart. she trembled and barely dare to look at Aaron’s face.
“Take care of yourself during the period. Look at your pale face, you should eat less cold and spicy food and drink more warm water.”
The pretended well-meaning words of the doctor only exacerbated the rage of Aaron.
Beth shouted crazily, “Shut up!”
Kathy really intended to destroy her! Framing her for killing her mother before and now bribing the doctor to tell lies!
The doctor shrugged and went away.
Beth gasped and caught the piercingly cold sight of Aaron when she turned back.
Madness sprawled in his eyes, turning them into a scarlet hell.
Aaron clapped his hands and laughed.
Beth staggered forward, “I’ll explain...
She was slapped hard on her left face before she finished.
She wouldn’t give up. With her face burned with pain, she said, “Listen to...
Then another slap on her right face.
It was Aaron.
He squeezed her wrist hard, “I never hit woman and never meant to. You are the first one!”
Time and again he was cheated. She drugged him and came to marry him with a baby in her belly and now she even feigned illness!
Aaron could not hold back his anger anymore. He pushed Beth away in a rude manner.
His suit was still tainted with her blood, her menstrual blood. The thought of this made a wave of nausea swept over him. He looked black in the face.
‘It’s just a period! She is so skilled at pretending that he almost convinced she would die!’
