Chapter 7 Her stomach twisted in agony . She pushed the baby back into Hudson's arms and fled to the bathroom , locking herself inside . She hadn't eaten much , and what came out was a mixture of blood , staining the sink a vivid red . Tears fell uncontrollably . She could only laugh bitterly . Their marriage had always been a joke . Everything that once didn't make sense had clear answers now . Hudson chose to save Jennifer when they both fell into the water . He stayed with her while their babies were born prematurely . The reason ? The child inside Jennifer was his . After a long while , a knock came at the door . " Mantha , are you alright ? " Samantha cleaned herself up , splashing her face with cold water , and stumbled out . Cristina , unaware of the entanglement between them , grabbed her gently and asked , " Mantha , are you feeling unwell ? " Chapter 7 " I just felt disgusted seeing these two ," Samantha said coldly . " I threw up , and now I feel much better . " " Mantha , do you know Jennifer ? She's been abroad . Is there some misunderstanding between you two ? This is ... " Samantha cut Cristina off sharply . " I know . Hudson Ashley , the president of the Ashley Group . Who doesn't know him ? " " Yes , Mr. Ashley is young and successful , achieving so much at such a young age , " Cristina replied , unaware of the tension . " Mr. Ashley is certainly impressive . He didn't even wait for a divorce before rushing to marry . How many people have the courage he does ? " Samantha mocked . Cristina was left bewildered . " Mantha , what are you talking about ? Mr. Ashley hasn't married . Why would you ... ? " Samantha let out a bitter laugh and said , " He hasn't married? So what am I to him ? Mr. Ashley , come and tell my Mom . What am I to you ? " Cristina looked at Hudson in confusion . She hadn't heard about Hudson's marriage . " Mr. Ashley , we've lived abroad for many years , and we're not up to date with the news back home . What is your connection Chapter 7 with my daughter ? " Cristina asked . Hudson's expression remained indifferent , his face emotionless as he said , " Even if there was a connection , it's in the past . Right now , I'm in the process of getting a divorce . " Samantha didn't expect that all her years of devotion would amount to nothing more than a word - past - on his lips . [ Of course , she was angry . But more than that , it was the coldness of it all . She had been blind to the man she thought was her treasure , only to realize she had chosen a monster . Samantha pulled out the diamond ring box and , with all her strength , hurled it at Hudson's forehead . " Go to hell , you scumbag . The biggest regret of my life is having anything to do with you . We'll meet at the civil affairs office at 9 AM tomorrow ." The box hit his forehead with a loud thud , leaving a red mark , and fell to the floor . The ring scattered at his feet , but Samantha didn't even glance at it . She stepped on the ring , slammed the door , and walked out . So much had happened to Samantha in the past two years . This was the breaking point . She didn't get far before she collapsed Chapter 7 on the side of the road , unconscious . As she looked at the endless rain from the sky , it felt like the world itself was against her . She thought that maybe it would be easier to just die . In a world full of calculations and schemes , there was nothing left for her to cling to . When she awoke , Samantha found herself in an unfamiliar room . Warm yellow light dispelled the darkness , and the room was warm . "You're awake ." Samantha opened her eyes to see Wesley's gentle gaze . " Wesley , did you save me ? " " I saw you passed out on the road when I came home , so I brought you back . You were soaked , so I had the maid change your clothes , " Wesley explained . His eyes were clear and pure , nothing hidden or inappropriate . " Thank you ," Samantha said . " I made some oatmeal . Have some warm water first , " he said . Chapter 7 Samantha pulled herself out of bed . " It's fine . It's late . I won't disturb you . " Samantha barely made it to her feet before she began to fall . Wesley was quick to catch her , his clean scent lingering in the air . It smelled just like the laundry detergent at her house, the same scent Hudson used to wear . Just thinking about Hudson made her chest ache . " You're too weak right now . If you want to live a little longer , you can't keep pushing yourself like this , " Wesley gently advised . " Do it for your father . " Only then did Samantha feel a flicker of hope in her dim eyes . " Alright ... Thank you ." She watched Wesley bustle around the kitchen . In truth , she didn't have much interaction with him . The most she knew of him was from when she was a freshman and he was a senior , awarding her the ' Excellent Student ' title . Chapter 8
