Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 119

On the floor below, in the general ward, the atmosphere was tense.

Charlotte had been crying ever since she woke up, her tears only pausing to hurl accusations at Hugo. She called him a liar and a cheat, lamenting that not only had she not received the promised dowry, but she had also been subjected to endless blood tests, which surely wasn't good for the child. If anything happened to the baby, it would all be his fault!

Unbeknownst to Hugo, Charlotte wasn't actually pregnant. Lysander hadn't shared this crucial bit of information with him. So, Hugo stood there, taking her verbal assault without any defense, only trying to appease her with soft

reassurances.

"I promise I'll figure something out," he murmured.

"What could you possibly figure out?" Charlotte snapped back, her anger flaring. "The Montgomery family humiliated me, and you're nothing but a useless coward!"

The memory of past humiliations fueled her anger, and she slapped Hugo hard across the face. Just as she was about to strike again, her phone buzzed with an incoming call.
