Marriage With A Evil Heart

Chapter 20: Didn’t bring me any medicine



Knowing about my romantic relationship with Robert, my parents were not pleased with his profession. A stylist? Always dressing in eccentric clothes, mingling in the complex social circles of a hair salon – not stable enough.

Besides, Robert’s family background was quite ordinary. He had two brothers and a sister, and none of the four children had achieved academic success. Robert dropped out of high school and became an apprentice in a salon, immersing himself in the hairdressing industry. This was the aspect my parents disliked the most. They tried to prevent our relationship from developing.

However, I didn’t heed their advice and stubbornly resisted their opposition. Eventually, they had to compromise.

It wasn’t until after marriage and the birth of our first child that my parents truly accepted Robert. After resigning from his job to assist me in managing the company and the birth of our second child, Robert successfully transformed from a stylist to the real boss of Medikit Inc.

Throughout the years, Robert had always been humble and restrained in front of my parents, afraid of displeasing them. He often used the excuse of being busy and rarely accompanied me to Southend to visit them.

Unexpectedly, this time he took the initiative to visit my parents and even remembered my mother’s birthday. It was quite strange.

I looked at him and pretended to be grateful, saying, ” I even forgot my mom’s birthday, thank you for remembering!”

“How could I forget? You’re not well, so I must do my best. After all, they’re seventy years old. We can’t let them worry about us anymore!” Robert’s words sounded perfect, making him the ideal “son-in-law.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I cursed myself in my heart, realizing how blind I had been to fall for this devil with a human face and a beast’s heart.

A tear slid down my cheek, and he immediately reached out to wipe it away. “Why are you crying again, hmm?”

“How did you tell them about my condition?” I stared into his eyes, eager to know the answer.

“I told them you went abroad. After all, for anxiety disorders, relaxation is crucial. And foreign countries have authoritative treatments for such psychological illnesses,” Robert explained matter-of-factly, not forgetting to justify himself. “I also told them you’ll be back soon, so you need to get better quickly. Don’t make me misspeak in front of them. It’s a necessary white lie!”

I smiled silently, feeling a chill down my spine. I inwardly cursed myself, realizing how calculating he could be. If I died, it would be an overseas accident with no connection to him at all.

I had no idea what his purpose was in visiting my parents, so I could only wait for Scarlette’s message to verify the situation. However, one thing became increasingly clear – I needed to find a way to undergo a comprehensive physical examination as soon as possible to understand the current state of my health.

“I’ll give my parents a call later. It’s been too long since I last talked to them, and I really miss them!” I followed his words.

Robert immediately brushed me off, “Later! It’s not a suitable time now; there’s a time difference.”

Then he got up and came to hug me, saying, “Come on, let’s get up!”

“You go freshen up first; I’ll sit for a while. Feeling a bit dizzy, need a moment before I go wash up,” I pushed him away, sitting up and leaning against the headboard.

Robert glanced at me, nodded, and said, “Alright, I’ll go freshen up first, and then help you .”

After saying that, he bent down to kiss me, then got up and walked into the bathroom. I heard the sound of rushing water. Quickly, I grabbed my phone, sent a message to Scarlette, and then hid the phone. Finally, I got out of bed.

Although I had slept well last night and my thoughts were clear, the intense crying had taken a toll on my body. I felt light-headed and somewhat depleted.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I silently contemplated how I could seize the opportunity to retrieve my original phone, as it contained many important things for me.

After he finished freshening up, he came over to hug me and took me to the bathroom. While chatting casually with me, he helped me freshen up, resuming his role as the devoted husband.

It was strange that Sherry didn’t bring me any medicine today, and Robert didn’t mention it either. I found it puzzling.
