Two Brides, One Tragic Twist novel Chapter 3

Iris and I were hospitalized for two weeks, but we did not once receive a call from Jack or Harvey.

Nobody sent any messages asking where the two of us pregnant women were or why we were not going home.

Our already broken hearts sank again and again in the face of their indifferent attitudes. It wasn't until I saw Hannah's new Facebook post that I finally knew why.

She had posted dozens of photos of her, Jack, and Harvey. They looked so happy together, and the smiles on their faces were a stark contrast to our misery.

The caption read, "Always remember that we're family in all but blood!"

I felt nothing as I gazed at Jack's smiling face in the photo.

Instead, I calmly sent him a message. "I've been discharged from the hospital. See you in court tomorrow! Bring Harvey along."

He immediately called me in response, but I rejected the call and blocked his number.

Iris and I went through the discharge procedures together, after which we finally had the time to report the hit-and-run driver to the police station.

After briefly explaining the events that had occurred that day to the policeman, he frowned deeply and said, "It's been two weeks since then. Why are you only reporting this to the police now? I'm afraid that it's not going to be easy to look into the case anymore."

I could only nod and beg them to help with a smile on my face.

We explained that our husbands had run off with their lovers, and Iris had also suffered a miscarriage because she tried to save me. Therefore, we were only able to report the incident that day because nobody else was available to help report it.

The policeman looked incredibly guilty after listening to our explanation. "I understand now. We'll do our best."

After leaving the police station, Iris and I moved into the house we used to live in together before we married.

We were both extremely weak, so we could only pay a housekeeping service to do some simple cleaning for us.

However, I did not expect Jack to call me using Harvey's phone after I had blocked his number.

I could tell that he was furious from his tone. "Where have you gone? Why is the house in such a mess? What's a pregnant woman like you doing running around outside instead of staying at home?

"Is two weeks not enough time for you to calm down? How long will you keep up this farce? Even if you're angry, don't drag Iris into this! She and Harvey have no quarrel with each other, but you've convinced her to get a divorce as well!

"Why are you such a vicious woman? Can you not stand others living good lives just because you're not doing well yourself?"

Iris, who was next to me, heard everything. She was so angry that she snatched my phone from me and yelled, "You're a family of scumbags! We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot if we didn't divorce the two of you!

"Tell Harvey that he's my bitch if he doesn't show up at the courthouse tomorrow! I'm seeing this divorce through no matter what! Don't worry because Yvie and I will make sure that the defendant's seat is open and waiting for you!"
