Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 82 You'll Get Your Chance for Avenge

I jolted awake, like someone dumped a bucket of ice water on me.

Ethan was just standing there, half-hidden in the shadows. I couldn't see his face, but he was as still as a statue.

Seeing him like that made my heart hurt for some reason. Life was screwing with both of us.

I sat up, feeling like the world's biggest jerk, and stared at his outline. "I'm sorry!"

Ethan put down the report he was holding, turned to me, and smiled like nothing happened. "Why are you apologizing?"

The more he acted chill, the worse I felt. "I can't have kids for you anymore. You should find someone else who can."

"Shut up!" He snapped and yanked me into his arms.

I was drained from being sad all day, so I just leaned on his shoulder.

All my pain and anger bubbled up. "Ethan, do you even know what I went through the day I met you?"

Thinking about that night made my heart ache. My pain wasn't just from Arthur's cruelty anymore, but from losing my innocent child and the lifelong scar it left.

I said, "My baby was five months old, but he took it away on purpose. How can someone be such a scumbag? I hate him, I really hate him!"

Ethan gently lay down with me in his arms, letting me rest on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat loud and clear.

His voice rumbled from his chest. "Some hatred isn't meant to weigh you down but to remind you of the lesson and fuel your revenge."

If I saw Arthur again, what would I do?

If I had a knife when I saw Arthur again, I might really stab him. One stab wouldn't be enough to kill my hatred.

Ethan went on, "Honestly, kids are cute and all, but they can be a pain. And having kids means more responsibilities. How can a couple enjoy life with all that?"

I knew he was trying to make me feel better. I said, feeling hopeless, "It's not just about us. Your grandpa's been waiting for a grandkid."

There was something else I didn't say. Victor never liked me. If he found out, he'd be even more determined to get rid of me.

Ethan suddenly laughed and pulled me closer. "Emily, don't worry."

I looked up at him, confused.
