Chapter 3 Lynette couldn't breathe from the pain . Her vision went black - she passed out . The next morning , she was sent back to the Fuchs's residence , her whole body wrapped in herbs and bandages . It was always like this . If she woke up at the Fuchs's residence , it meant Sean was still in one of his " episodes . " If she woke up in a high - end hospital , then his " condition " had already improved . Lynette gave a bitter smile . How many days did he plan to torture her this time ? A second later , the door knocked . Sean's voice came . " Cindy fainted from seeing all that blood . Go give her a blood transfusion . " Lynette almost laughed . A bleeding woman giving blood ? But after years of this torment , she'd learned to obey . " Okay . " At the hospital , Cindy had already woken up . So Lynette's task turned into peeling Cindy's favorite shrimp . Cindy smiled sweetly . " Don't wear gloves . They make it taste like plastic . Sean didn't say a word . Clearly , he approved of the humiliation . Lynette had no choice but to yank the gloves off . She forced herself to bear the boiling heat and mechanically started peeling . Her fingers began to tremble . She suddenly remembered - back in their most affectionate year , Sean used to peel shrimp for her , too . Chapter 3 Back then , he'd smile and say , " Treat my wife well , and we'll have a baby . " The steam from the shrimp rushed up , stinging her eyes with heat , She held back the tears . " It's ready. " Cindy barely looked . She pouted . " It's too hot . Are you trying to burn me ? " Lynette let them cool naturally , then said , " They're ready now . " Ready ? " Cindy snapped . " Since when are cold shrimp better than hot ones ? " Lynette stood up and went to reheat them . Again and again . Until she was dead tired . And then Cindy scoffed . " You're this late ? I'm not even hungry anymore ! " She suddenly flung her hand , scalding hot shrimp spilled all over Lynette . " Ouch ! " Lynette screamed , flinching away as her skin turned red in an instant . Cindy clutched her slightly reddened fingers , tears in her eyes , flipping through the story . " Sean , it hurts ... " Sean's face darkened . Without thinking , he slapped Lynette . " You did that on purpose , didn't you ? " The blow sent stars flashing through her eyes . She slammed into the railing beside her . Everything went black , but she still tried to defend herself . " It wasn't me . She knocked it over ... " " Shut up ! " he roared and slammed the call button . " You never change . You need to reflect . Someone - lock her up for a full day and night ! " Chapter 3 Before he even finished speaking , a few bodyguards rushed in and dragged her toward the hospital basement . Lynette struggled with everything she had . She bit her lip so hard she tasted blood , but she didn't make a sound . The last thing she saw was Sean gently feeding oatmeal to Cindy . The basement door slammed shut . The tiny , two - square - meter room was stifling and unbearably hot . Before long , old and new wounds flared up . She could almost smell her own flesh burning . That smoky scent dragged her back to college . Back then , Sean - the crown prince of New York's elite - fell for a poor girl from a broken home . To be with her , he rejected his childhood engagement , took 99 lashes from his family , and knelt for three days and nights in the living room , blood soaking the floor - still smiling . " Lynette , don't be scared . Soon , we'll be together forever . " I'll treat you right . " Everyone in New York used to say that Sean really loves his wife . As she blacked out from the pain , all she could think was , " If only life stayed like that first meeting .... " D - Doctor , how is she ? " Sean's panicked voice echoed - like a dream coming true from deep in her heart . She smiled , full of longing . " ... Sean , I missed you so much . Chapter 3 The room fell silent . Even the doctor didn't say a word . A tall figure turned and left in a hurry - and never came back , Much later , Lynette woke with effort , only to see a young nurse sobbing beside her . The nurse bent down to pick up a treatment slip from the floor , crying , " Ms. Quinlan is so pitiful . A terminal illness and only one kidney left . I went to ask her husband for the chemo money . " But he didn't even glance her way . He just stayed with Ms. Jonathan . Threw the slip on the floor and said , ' Let her fend for herself . " The words hit Lynette like ice water poured over her heart . Whatever love she had left - it vanished . She let out a bitter laugh . Of course . Why would he care now ? She cursed under her breath , " Lynette , you pathetic idiot . " One week left . And this worthless life was still hurting over Sean . 044TH Chapter 4 Chapter 4
