Chapter 50

Even though I didn’t love Jared anymore, the smell of another woman’s perfume on him and that fake gentle way he talked to me made me want to throw up.

Maybe in front of Jared and Tracy, both smart and good at handling emotions, I was a total dunce. They thought they could trick me, while I was totally clueless.

In my previous life, I really didn’t know anything. Not even that Tracy had an abortion to win Yvonne over. I was so ignorant, pouring all my love into my daughter and husband, cooking at home and waiting for them to come back.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Jared sat next to me, staring at his phone.

“I’m not hungry,” I said calmly.

“Go home and rest tonight. I’ll stay with Yvonne.” Jared rubbed his temples, looking tired. “Did you argue with Yvonne again?”

“If she doesn’t respect me as her mom, I can’t love her like before.” I grabbed my bag and stood up as I spoke. “Thanks for the help. I’m leaving now.”

Jared’s hand froze on his forehead as he watched me leave. I left too fast for him to say anything.

Jared and Yvonne were always on the same side. I learned not to care about them anymore.

I got home, took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, I ached all over and felt chills. I asked Wendy to bring the thermometer. It read 103 degrees.

“Ma’am, you’re sick…” Wendy came close to helping me up.

I stopped her right away. “Don’t come in. My cold is contagious. You and Joyce should leave work early.”

Wendy froze, about to speak but stopped herself.

I smiled weakly, “Yvonne got sick yesterday; I took care of her. Now I’m feverish, too. It’s definitely contagious. Don’t worry. I’ll go to the hospital myself.”
