Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 183 There Are No Naturally Compatible People

Ethan suddenly scooped me up with his good hand. Before I knew it, I was on the bed, and he was on top of me, pinning me down.

His hands were on either side of me, and the white bandage on his arm was quickly turning red.

"Your wound," I blurted out.

Ethan ignored my words, staring at me with this intense, stubborn look, like he was trying to see right through me.

"I'm not getting a divorce. I don't agree," he said, dead serious.

Watching the blood spread on his bandage, I hated to admit it, but my heart ached.

"Can you lie down properly? I can't talk to you like this." I tried to hide my worry.

Ethan pouted a bit, looking at me like a hurt puppy.

"Okay, but you have to lie down with me."

He was being so stubborn, like a kid. If I didn't agree, he'd just stay like this, bleeding all over. He was using his own body to make a point. I gave in. "Fine, but no touching."

Ethan's lips curled into a satisfied smile, and he nodded. "I'll just hold you, and I promise not to move."

I lay down, and he settled beside me, holding me like he always did. I sighed, feeling helpless.

"Ethan, don't you think we're just not right for each other?"

Ethan held me tighter, his breath warm on my neck. "No one is a perfect match from the start. Love and marriage take work."

I shook my head. "We've been working at it for so long. I thought we'd get there, but we're just not right."

"I say we are, so we are," Ethan said, sounding unreasonable.

I didn't know what to say.

Then he pleaded, "Honey, don't give up on me so quickly. Give me a few days, and I'll surprise you. Just a few days, okay?"

I could only sigh. I thought about it. My marriage with Ethan was nothing like it was with Arthur.

When things ended with Arthur, all I felt was hate. But with Ethan, it was different. He treated me well, and made me happy. Sure, he brought pressure and pain too, but I didn't hate him. Even when he made that choice, I was just disappointed, not hateful.

After all, he didn't marry me out of love, so finding out I wasn't his top priority wasn't a shock. I just hoped we could part on good terms. But thinking about the baby inside me, I felt a deep sadness.
