Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 343

**Hospitalized?**

Abandoned? Hurt? What did that mean?

Mila's hands trembled as she thought about calling back, but Forrest's mother's words still echoed in her ears. She didn't dare. For a moment, it felt as if the whole world had turned its back on her.

She was surrounded, nowhere to run.

Just then, her phone rang again. This time, it was Lysander.

...

"What do you want?"

His voice on the other end was no longer warm or inviting, but cold and distant.

Mila's mind was in chaos, too muddled to notice the change in his tone. Her throat tightened, and she choked out, "Lysander, why aren't you home? I—I'm pregnant."

There was a long silence before he finally answered, his tone flat. "So what?"

She froze. "What... did you say?"

"Are you expecting me to take responsibility? Have you ever stopped to think about who you are? We're from completely different worlds. What makes you think you're qualified to be my wife, to join the Montgomery family?"

The phone slipped from her hand.

His words, suddenly so unfamiliar and cold, sliced through her like a knife, leaving her breathless with pain and nausea.

She stumbled to the bathroom and vomited until her face turned pale, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

A nurse noticed her distress, quickly called a doctor, and soon Mila had been given some medication and was told to rest in an empty hospital bed, urged not to get upset again.

She lay there, numb.
