Chapter 4
Hector was more reasonable than I expected. I prescribed some medicine.
If the medicine worked, the price was that he would accompany me to visit my parents three days later.
On the day of the traditional post-wedding visit, I waited for Hector outside, but he never showed up. After pondering for a
moment, I got into the car alone and headed home.
As soon as I walked in, Jocelyn pointed at the room full of gifts and said sweetly:
"Dad, Oliver and I picked this coffee for you, and this imperial green crystal is for Mom."
My parents were delighted by Jocelyn's attention, their lips constantly upturned as they repeatedly said, "Good, good, good."
Seeing me arrive empty-handed, Jocelyn said sharply:
"Yvonne, your husband let you come alone?"
I smiled gently and replied, "Your husband didn't accompany you either."
Jocelyn pouted and showed off the large diamond ring on her finger. "You know nothing about this, silly. Oliver is the CEO of
Hunter Group, of course he's busy. Your husband? He just has shares but no real power."
Through Jocelyn's raised hand, I caught a glimpse of purple bruises peeking out from her sleeve.
Oliver was the type who maintained perfect appearances. In my previous life, he was physically disabled with a gloomy,
unpredictable personality.
Every night, he would beat me violently with various objects.
I endured his treatment for a long time, until his leg condition improved and he no longer tormented me.
Seeing how happy Jocelyn appeared now, I didn't want to burst her bubble. I walked past her toward the bathroom.
Jocelyn, seeing that I continued to ignore her, hurriedly followed me.
"Yvonne, your husband didn't prepare any gifts for the visit, did he?"
Seeing that I maintained my indifferent attitude, her expression darkened. She threw the red wine in her hand at me.
But she lost her balance in her high heels and fell heavily to the ground.
Jocelyn cried out in pain, which brought my parents running. She immediately played the victim, trying as always to shift blame to
me when she did something wrong.
"Dad, Yvonne tried to hurt me! She said she wanted me to damage my body so I could never bear the Hunter family's first grandson!
Mom, she's trying to harm me! Waaah!"
I was about to defend myself.
After hearing just a few sentences from Jocelyn, my father glared at me angrily and raised his hand to slap me.
"Not only did you come without your husband, but you didn't even bring gifts. And now you're jealous of Jocelyn!"
"What kind of thoughts are you harboring?!"
In the next moment, someone stepped in front of me.
"Who says I didn't come?"
