On the way to the pregnancy check-up, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Kyrie Orton received a phone call and said that the company had an urgent matter to deal with, so he left me halfway and asked me to go to the hospital by myself.

It was difficult to get a taxi on a rainy day, so I had to hold an umbrella and walk towards the hospital.

I was frightened by the sudden thunder so that I slipped and fell in the mud, followed by a severe pain in my abdomen.

When I was taken to the hospital by some kind people, my baby was premature dead already.

I was lying on the hospital bed, crying and calling Kyrie, but he didn't answer.

That night, I saw a post from Sue Windy on Instagram.

[Thunderstorms are the most horrible things. Fortunately, someone is here to accompany me, otherwise I would be scared to death tonight!]

In the photo, Kyrie's profile was easy to recognize.

It turned out that the company emergency was all fake. He suddenly left me behind just to be with his Miss. Right!

I cried for the child all night, while Kyrie stayed with Sue at the same time.

The next day, Kyrie called.

"Sue is not in good health and needs my care. You are so strong and can handle everything by yourself."

"Kyrie Orton, let's get a divorce."

After waking up, I said this sentence lightly to the phone.

Kyrie and I were childhood sweethearts and grew up together.

We had known each other for fifteen years, and I had liked him for fifteen years. All the feelings in my youth were related to him.

He was phlegmatic so he rarely responded to my admiration.

Later, when my family went bankrupt and everyone advised him to stay away from me, he resisted all the pressure, married me, and even helped my family solve its debts.

At that moment, I naively thought that it was my love that moved him, and he would eventually become the Mr. Right that belonged to me alone.

Kyrie's company had a lot of affairs, and I couldn't get involved. After marriage, I tried not to cause him any trouble.

I was the one who took care of all the chores at home; when I had a cold or fever, I went to the hospital by myself; even when I got into a traffic accident and someone tried to extort money from me, I bought the insurance myself, called the police, and argued with that guy.

I once thought that as long as I was strong enough so that I didn't hold his back, and didn't cause him trouble, my sincerity would always be able to melt his ice.

In the end, my strength became the sharp sword that he used to stab me.

After hanging up the phone, Kyrie sent me with a lot of messages.

[April Lee, what are you doing?]

[Isn't it just asking you to go for a prenatal checkup? Is it necessary to do this?]

"It's not necessary."

I looked at the two messages on the screen and could even imagine how impatient he looked.

In the past, I would admit my mistake first, and then try my best to make him happy.

Years of the habits had led me to always put his feelings first, and as a result, I ignored my own feelings.

After putting down my phone, I got up and went to the front desk to go through the discharge procedures. Unexpectedly, I heard a familiar voice in a medical room.

"Sue, stop making trouble and let the doctor diagnose you."

Then, her soft voice came, "Kyrie, I heard that as long as you give birth to a child, you won't have dysmenorrhea. I wonder if that's true?"

He said lovingly, "Being pregnant is very hard, you should just take your medicine obediently."

When I heard this, I felt a sharp pain.

In the early stages of my pregnancy, I had severe pregnancy reactions. I had acid regurgitation all day and all night, couldn't eat anything, and sometimes my feet were so swollen that I couldn't wear shoes. I cried when I saw my body suddenly gaining weight.

He never cared about me.

He always sits by the computer and says, "You have your aunt to take care of you, so why should you be so pretentious?"

But all I wanted was a concerned look from him, that's all.

Now, when Kyrie looked at Sue tenderly, I realized that he was not cold-hearted.

He just didn't love me.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that my persistence for more than ten years was nothing but a joke.

I stopped looking at them and turned to leave.

Just at this moment, Sue called me.

"April, why are you here too?"

I kept walking, but Kyrie caught up with me and blocked my way.

A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and said, "April, are you following me?"

Due to the extremely severe thunderstorm, someone was accidentally struck by lightning in the city yesterday and died on the spot.

He didn't care about the results of my prenatal check-up yesterday or whether I encountered any accidents on the road. Instead, he blamed me for following him.

I glanced at him coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Kyrie was unyielding, "I'm talking to you, why are you angry?"

Sue Windy also whispered softly, "April, you misunderstood Kyrie and me. There was thunder and lightning yesterday, and I had menstrual cramps. I was so scared that I went to find him. Last night, he just rubbed my stomach all night, and we didn't do anything else."

"If I had known you were going for a prenatal checkup yesterday, I wouldn't have disturbed you even if I was dying of pain."

Kyrie also nodded and said, "She is not in good health, you are so strong, you can handle your own affairs."

I sneered, "Really? Then should I give you an award for helping others?"

Sue was so scared that she took a step back and hid behind him.

He was annoyed, "Do you have to be so unkind?"

At this point, I was so heartbroken that I couldn't help but touch my belly, but the baby inside was gone.

I pried his hands apart and said firmly, "No need."

The strange thing was that I used to obey him in everything, but he just ignored me.

Now that I was disheartened and didn't care about him at all, he still insisted on catching up with me.

This was the first time he took the time to apologize to me.

"My phone ran out of battery yesterday, so I didn't receive your call. Okay, don't be angry anymore. What were the results of yesterday's prenatal examination?"

"Did the doctor say the baby was healthy?"

It was rare for him to say this. In the past, I would happily walk down this step and return to the way we used to get along.

But now, I just froze and turned to ask him.

"Kyrie, didn't you watch yesterday's news?"

He didn't understand, but there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, "April, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"

"Sue is young, and she is afraid of thunder and lightning. Our two families are old friends, so it's only natural for me to take care of her. I really don't understand why you are so stingy."

I looked at him calmly, "What about me? It rained so hard yesterday and I'm pregnant. Did you ever consider whether I would be scared or encounter any accidents on the road?"

"When you married me, you also told my parents that you would take good care of me."

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes somewhat evasive.

"Okay, I'm wrong this time. I'll accompany you to every prenatal checkup in the future. Also, I'll save some money for the child's education so that he won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."

"Don't target on Sue anymore."

He tugged at his tie and spoke in a condescending tone.

I just felt like I heard something ridiculous, and tears welled up in my eyes.

When I first found out I was pregnant, I mentioned to him many times my ideas for our child's education.

But he had never had any interest and never felt any joy in being a father.

Now, he was using the child’s education fund as a bargaining chip to get me to stop bothering Sue.

I looked at him coldly and said, "Kyrie Orton, you don't deserve it."

At this moment, Sue screamed from behind, "Ah, it hurts!"

He immediately turned around and ran towards her, "How can you be so careless? You even sprained your ankle?"

Sue bit her lower lip but looked at me smugly.

I was tired and didn't want to bother with these two people anymore, so I just hailed a taxi and left.

I sent a message to him.

"Tomorrow afternoon, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce."

I didn't go back to Kyrie's villa, but to my parents' home.

My father suffered a severe blow due to bankruptcy and jumped off the building on the spot, and my mother died of a serious illness the following year.

Now this old house was empty and I was the only one left.

The cell phone was playing yesterday's citizen news:

[Cloudy City was hit by a sudden thunderstorm, and lightning strikes occurred there, causing one death and multiple injuries.]

[Not only that, on that day, a pregnant woman in Central District fell in the rain and Hemorrhaging on the spot. Thanks to several enthusiastic citizens who sent her to the hospital, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. The rainstorm was ruthless, but love existed in the world]

I lay in bed, tears unknowingly falling into the pillow.

I didn’t know how long I slept, but when I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone, it was already noon the next day.

"April, you didn't go home last night. Where did you go?"

I rubbed my aching head and said to him, "Bring your ID card this afternoon and we'll get a divorce."

Kyrie was furious, "What's wrong with you? Do you want our child to be born in a single-parent family?"

After a few seconds of stalemate, he sighed, "April, let's talk. Otherwise, I can't agree to your request."

In order to get a smooth divorce, I went to the cafe that he mentioned as promised.

When I got there, I saw Sue inside.

She greeted me with a smile, "April, are you okay? You look very haggard."

"Where's he?"

Sue shrugged and smiled, "He didn't want to see you, so he asked me to come and take care of it."

Of course I knew that this was her little trick.

I wasn't willing to argue with her, so I turned around and tried to leave, but I heard her say, "You lost your baby. You must be very sad, right?"

"But I think this is something worth being happy about."

"After all, what's the point of having a child that his father doesn't love?"

I turned around and stared at her fiercely, "Sue Windy, say it again?"

She crossed her arms across her chest with a look of disdain,

"I wish your child would die soon!"

"Sure enough, God heard my request and made you lose the baby in your belly. I am so happy! Ah——"

I picked up the hot coffee on the table and splashed it directly into her face.

Her head was splashed with water. She looked behind me and her tone softened instantly.

"April, I know you hate me, but why are you doing this..."

Behind him, Kyrie's cold voice came, "April, you've gone too far!"

He took three or two steps forward to check on her injuries, and the mood in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

Sue cried and said to him, "It's all my fault. I wanted to apologize to April first, but I didn't know she would be so emotional. Don't blame her..."

Kyrie glanced at me with gloomy eyes, "Apologize to her!"

On the night of our first wedding anniversary, I personally cooked a table of dishes for him. My hand was burned by the oil and a large area of it turned red, but he didn't even look at it.

Now, he wanted me to apologize to Sue.

"April, my patience is running out."

I just looked at the couple coldly and said, "She deserves it!"

Then I walked out of the cafe.

There had been thunderstorms these days, and constant thunder outside.

Kyrie chased out and said coldly, "April, if you don't apologize to her, I will cancel the child's education fund. Moreover, I will give all the villas prepared for the child to Sue."

I stood in the rain in a daze, unable to tell whether the water on my face was rain or tears.

When I heard him say this, I just found it ridiculous.

"Give it to whoever you want. I don't want it."

He didn't expect me to say this, "April, I advise you to think carefully. This is not a small amount of money. As long as you apologize and give in, your child will be able to live a good life in the future-"

I interrupted him and yelled, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't want it anymore! I don't want anything from you!"

"Including you, I don't want you either."

"Kyrie Orton, I don't want you anymore."

After saying this, I saw a hint of panic finally flashed across his eyes.

But then, my eyes went dark and I stumbled and fell to the side.

When I fainted, I heard a noisy sound in my ear, as if Kyrie was calling my name.

When I woke up, he was talking on the phone with his assistant.

"There's no need to cancel the education fund. Instead, we can allocate a sum of money from the company's dividends to it, and increase it year by year. Then, she should be satisfied with such a huge fund to her child."

On the other end of the phone, the assistant hesitated, "Mr. Orton, didn't you watch the news?"

He frowned, "What?"

"The day before yesterday, Miss. Orton was frightened by thunder at a crossroads and fell to the ground. The baby in her belly died on the spot!"
