Injured and Betrayed: My Husband’s Hospital AffairChapter 1

Late at night, I had a car accident while taking the child to the hospital.

In a daze, I heard Lucas's voice.

"I used to think she was weak and cold. I loved her so much that I wished I could give her my heart."

"Now, she's older, her emotions are extremely unstable, and she's even more difficult than young women like you."

In the haze, I saw a woman standing beside him.

That woman is the reason for our constant arguments these days.

For nine years, I have been drowning in the past.

But I forgot that he is ultimately not the same person.

The night before I decided to leave, I burned everything that belonged to the past.

I will no longer be obsessed with what has come before.

My emotions can be stable too.

Later, he crazily questioned me: "Tell me! Who is it that you really love?"

I felt confused and detached: "Sir, could you please calm down a little?"

When I became conscious, I was still not clear-headed.

Lucas's voice continued to echo in my ears.

"The child has such a serious fever; I really don't know how she cares for him!"

"I have never seen such an irresponsible mother."

A few seconds later, I heard a gentle female voice.

"Lucas, no matter what, Lina is still Liam's mother. There isn't a mother in the world who doesn't love her child."

"It's all because of me that you have become like this."

"Now even the child has been affected; you should explain to her that we are not what she thinks we are..."

Lucas coldly snorted:

"Not all mothers love their children. If she loved her child, would she have gotten into a car accident?"

"If she loved her child, would he be burning with fever in the middle of the night?"

"She fills her mind with nothing but love and affection, completely neglecting the child."

My consciousness gradually cleared.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Susan.

She was back-to-back with Lucas, gathered around Liam's hospital bed, as if they were a family.

My heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.

They have long been a family.

I am the outsider.

When did they get together?

Probably three years ago, when Lucas was always abroad.

I always thought he was busy with work overseas.

Until I saw the chat history between him and Susan on Lucas's phone.

Only then did I realize that they had so much to talk about.

Susan is Zach's ex-girlfriend.

My relationship with her is neither good nor bad.

It is the kind of relationship where we can exchange a few words when we meet, but if we don’t, we become estranged.

Susan loved Zach so intensely that she nearly fell apart when they broke up.

I never thought that she and Lucas could get together.

I never thought Lucas's heart could change so easily.

Once a person falls into the haze of the past, they become paranoid.

I didn’t speak or ask, pretending everything was normal.

But emotions that have been suppressed for too long will eventually erupt.

In the last year, we started to argue frequently.

During our most intense fights, I acted like a madwoman, red-eyed, hitting him, scolding him, questioning him.

When emotions surged, I was filled with negative energy.

Even when Susan came to explain, I would scold her mercilessly.

Susan sent Lucas the screenshots of our chats where I scolded her.

Lucas protected Susan as if he were defending his own mother.

He was afraid that Susan would suffer even a little grievance from me.

For the past month, we haven’t said a word to each other.

It seemed calm between us, but there was a silent war brewing beneath the surface.

At this moment, the war finally ignited.

All my obsessions were obliterated on this battlefield of life and death.

I finally recognized the truth.

He is no longer the same person.

At this moment, Susan coughed a few times.

Lucas immediately became very worried: "You just finished your IV; your cough isn't better yet. I’ll take you back to rest."

Susan replied, "I’m fine. You two have made such a fuss because of me and Lina. I should at least come and explain a bit."

"If she had half your understanding, we wouldn’t be in this situation."

"Lina just loves you too much; her heart is always gentle and kind."

"Now she doesn’t even love the child; her heart has turned cruel."

"I’ll take you back first; don’t let her delay your rest."

I thought he came to the hospital because of Liam.

It turns out he came to accompany Susan, who was sick, and happened to check on his son.

He is so angry now, not because he is worried about his son.

It is simply because I and the child have caused him trouble.

A father who has reached this point is truly something else.

He still has the nerve to blame me.

I was just about to speak and tell them to get lost.

But I heard my son’s weak voice: "Dad, my mom loves me very much."

My throat suddenly tightened.

I have become a clown in my marriage.

Everyone seems to want to drive me crazy.

The one defending me is such a small child.
