A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 821 Relieved

There was a problem in their marriage, that they couldn’t trust each other completely. They were like two hedgehogs in winter where they hadn’t found the right distance between each other. They would get hurt if they got too close, but they would feel cold if they got too far away from each other! She couldn’t find the right solution, so she had to stay away from him.

When she finally said the word of divorce, she instead had a feeling that everything was settled, and she could sleep better at night. She wouldn't be greedy anymore and stop having more expectations!

He wanted all her love. However, he was domineering. He suspected that every man she interacted with was having an affair with her. For her, she didn't like his deception, not even a hint of it.

“You’re still loving him. Why you need to make trouble for yourself?” Ernie said casually but his words had a deep meaning.

Sylvie was shocked. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, “Maybe I’m really getting myself into trouble! But some things are beyond my control. If we can’t continue to put in the efforts, I’ll rather clarify the matters and set us free.”

“Maybe the more you’re trying to be free, the messier your mind will be!”

“At least I feel calm now. A calmer mind is good for our baby’s health! Thinking about it and I think it’s great!”

“You love him so much, but he doesn’t understand you! Is he worthy of your love?” He felt a bit jealous.

Sylvie smiled. "Ernie, whether it’s worth it or not is a matter between me and Marley. I love him, and that will never change. No matter what problems I have with him, it won’t change the fact that I love him. Love can’t be measured. Love is love. He may be bad, just like me, I also have a lot of problems. I

can blame him, but I can’t allow others to badmouth him. So, if you think we're still friends, don't say a word against him!"

Ernie was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Women are weird!”

“Maybe! The food is here, let’s eat!”

When the dishes she ordered were on the table, she stopped talking and started to eat. During that time, Sylvie got her morning sickness once. Ernie gave her a glass of water for her to rinse her mouth.

“Do you have your maternity test?” He asked.

“It’s on tomorrow!” She smiled quietly.

“Ok!” Ernie stopped talking. After the meal, Ernie sent her back. When they reached the entrance of the district, Sylvie insisted him from continuing sending her back to her home. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Ernie, I’m sorry!” She slightly bowed.

Ernie was stunned and he immediately got back to his sense. He understood that it was because of Evie’s affairs.

“Sylvie, you don’t have to mind it. That incident has nothing to do with you. It was her choice!” Ernie looked at Sylvie. He said deeply and seriously, “Sylvie, men sometimes need tolerance! Although Miriam loves Aiden very much, she was always domineering. Her temper had slowly changed after she was in her forties. I think Aiden would stay with my mom all these years because he was captivated by my delicate mom. You’re right, women should respect and love themselves to get the men’s love! It’s right to not include a hint of hesitation in a relationship! So, I’m not the right person for you. This is because I won’t be exclusive. I’m not sure about Marley. But I do know he won’t cheat in his marriage

or his relationship. It’s hard to find a good man, and I urge you to appreciate him! Consider everything I’ve said and stop tossing and turning. I really want you to be happy!”

“I’m very happy now!” Sylvie smiled. She knew that Ernie had moved on. He won’t disturb her again, and she could live in peace.

“Because there’s no more disturbance from me, right?” He raised his eyebrow and said jokingly.

“Heh-heh, yes!” Sylvie admitted honestly.

They looked at each other and smiled, liked friends who had known each other for years.

“I’ll help you out by telling you a secret!” Ernie smiled and said seriously.

“What?”

“Jemima had never been pregnant. Marley approached her last time because she had kept on disturbing him. He showed his findings in front of Jemima and didn’t allow her to continue to disturb him. I think he didn’t tell you the truth because he thought it was the last time they would see each other, and he didn’t want you who were pregnant to misunderstand him. Besides, I’ve slept with Jemima, and she’s not a determined woman! Sylvie, you are faithful, and you’ve won my respect. No matter what, Marley will never let go of you. If you don’t believe, let’s make a bet!”

This news made Sylvie stunned for a moment. She was a little puzzled, “A bet?”

“I bet he loves you, and he’ll figure out the problem between you and him!”

Sylvie was still in a trance when she got home. She never thought that Jemima and Ernie had ever had a relationship, and Jemima had never been pregnant. She also didn’t expect that Ernie would tell her about these. But she was sure that Ernie really wanted her to be happy!

The next day was the day of the maternity test, Sylvie went to the hospital for an ultrasound.

Just after the ultrasound, she was forced to go into the gynecological operational room.

“What are you guys doing?” Sylvie shouted in a panic.

“Our boss asked you to wait patiently for a while. We’ll let you out in a moment. Relax, we’re just helping you!”

“Who’s your boss?” Sylvie panicked.

“Ugh! Our boss is your friend!”

“Ernie?” Sylvie asked doubtfully.

“Yes!”

“What is he trying to do?” Sylvie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the person was Ernie.

Meanwhile, the phone rang. Sylvie took out her phone and saw it was Ernie’s number. “Ernie, what do you want to do?”

“Make a bet!” Ernie laughed. “Listen to me, he’ll show you his heart!”

“Ernie, this is my business!”

“But it’s my business too, Sylvie. If you’re happy, I’ll feel relieved! After all, something happened because of me!” Ernie said in a deep voice on the other side of the phone, his tone unprecedentedly serious. "I know I'm nosy, but I've always been nosy. If you don't cooperate with me, then marry me. Take your pick. It's better to be with Marley than to marry me, isn’t it?"

"You--" Sylvie exasperated. "I'll cooperate with you, but what exactly do you want to do?"

"Listen to me, Marley is coming to you right now! And then..."

Marley was speeding down the road at the moment. He had run three red lights in succession. He was rushing in the direction of the hospital. He gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Just ten minutes ago, he received a call from Ernie, saying that Sylvie was in the hospital having an abortion. He didn't even get to ask about it and rushed down immediately. He drove as fast as he could.

Fifteen minutes later.

Marley rushed into the hospital. He didn’t have time to park the car in the parking lot. He stopped his car directly in front of the outpatient building. He ignored the yelling of the security guards behind him and rushed into the gynecological surgery area.

With every step he took, he could feel cold sweat dripping down his face. He began to feel a constant tension headache.

She was going to abort their child. How could she be so cruel as to abort their child?

Marley couldn't believe it. He felt his hands and feet were cold. He seemed to get back to his sense in a flash. What had he done all this time?

He had intentionally snubbed her. He’d minded that hug she had with Ernie. He was mad with jealousy. He was so domineering that he wanted her to belong entirely to him. So, he deliberately distanced himself from her.

The door of the operating room was opened, and Sylvie was pushed out. She stumbled and almost slipped. She subconsciously shielded her belly with her hand. That was so close! If she had slipped, her baby would be in danger. Her face immediately turned pale!

Marley almost went crazy when he saw her pale face coming out of the operating room!

She had done it!

Why was her face so pale?

He rushed over as if everything seemed to be pressed to a breaking point. He trembled! He stepped forward and he grabbed her shoulders very hard.

"Why did you abort my child?" He stared at her, who had just come out of the operating room.

She was stunned. Then she thought of Ernie's words and tried to put on a miserable smile, "That’s because how can a proud person like you allow your child to take my surname? It was my grandfather who had wronged you, and I apologize on his behalf! From now on, we no longer have any relationship, you’re now free! Marley, it's time for our marriage to end! I won't let you intentionally snubbed me anymore. And I won't give you a chance to domineeringly keep me from doing this or that!"

As soon as Sylvie spoke, the corridor seemed to become empty and quiet, as if all sounds had disappeared. The space was too quiet and carried with a heavy atmosphere.

Marley didn’t even move his hands that were holding her shoulder. He didn’t seem to hear Sylvie's words, and his breathing was steady. In fact, he had fallen into another world at the moment. He felt a roar in his ears, and his body seemed to be plummeting.

He tried to calm himself down, trying to think that she had just undergone surgery and he couldn’t be angry. What else could he do when things had come to this?

When he just thought that their baby was gone, he felt pain all over his body. Even the light around him was so bright, and it made his eyes hurt. He reached out and hugged Sylvie. He buried his face in her

shoulder and hugged her tightly, "Sylvie, I'm in pain! It hurts too much! Don't you feel pain? That’s our baby! I was wrong, but how can you bear to punish me as such! Do you know how much I longed for our baby to come?"

There was a tiny whimper in his tone, and Sylvie felt bitterness in her heart all of a sudden.

"Sylvie, I’m not getting a divorce. Let's go home and you need to get well. I'm so sorry! I didn't take good care of you!" He tried not to cry, but he still choked up!

Sylvie even felt a warm liquid rolled down onto her shoulder and slowly seeped into her clothes. It was so hot. His words gave a strong impact which caused her stunned for a moment.

"Sylvie, I'll never leave you alone and intentionally alienate you again! I won’t be jealous again! Let's go home, okay?" He sobbed. He didn’t want the vulnerability on his face to be seen. But Sylvie heard the vulnerability in his voice anyway.

The vulnerability he leaked had made her heart wrenched instantly.

She reached out and slowly wrapped her hand around his waist. His body stiffened, seemingly in a bit of disbelief.

"Sylvie, does it hurt?" He held her tightly and his deep voice ringing in her ears. The heat when he spoke had warmed her ears.

Her tears rolled down her face in an instant. It was bitter, warm, and also touching! It seemed that everything had relieved at this moment! Just because after she told him she had aborted their child, he was still trying to restrain his anger and still cared if she was in pain, she then felt relieved!
