I closed my eyes . Just as I was about to step away, a wave of dizziness hit me , and I lost consciousness completely . The last thing I saw before blacking out were three panicked , horrified faces . When I woke up again , the smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils . It took me a moment to realize I was in the hospital . But ... what happened to me ? " Scarlett ! " A woman with a worried , grim expression rushed to my side , her eyes brimming with aching concern . Hearing that familiar voice , the grievances I had been holding back burst forth at once . " Mom ... " Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks . " " " " " Mom's here , don't cry , don't cry , " she soothed . " I know everything . Don't worry , just focus on resting well for the baby . We'll handle everything else . " I stopped crying , my hand moving to rest on my abdomen . " Resting for the baby ? " No wonder I'd been feeling so tired lately . It's just ... this child had to come at such a time . The hospital room door opened . Jacob stood in the doorway , his face filled with guilt and unease . " What are you doing here ? Get out ! " My mother immediately lost her temper , pointing at Jacob and yelling . " Back in high school , you'd climb through windows just to see Scarlett ! When her father and I entrusted her to you , what did you promise me ?! Tell me ! " I looked away , feeling only waves of bitterness . It was because the memories were too beautiful that the present seemed so utterly ugly and cruel . Jacob's tall frame swayed slightly . His hand on the door handle tightened . He had said he would love me always , until we grew old , until death , faithfully until the end . Thinking of this , the man's usually straight posture slumped slightly . Mrs. Kingsley was also outside , wishing she could slap some sense into her foolish son . But for now , she could only offer an apologetic smile . " Eleanor , this is indeed Jacob's fault . We admit it . Whatever compensation Scarlett wants , we'll give tenfold . It's just ... the kids have been married so many years , we ... " I spoke up , cutting her off . " We don't want anything . " I turned to my mother . " Mom , have the legal department prepare the divorce papers . We're getting a divorce . " Jacob's head snapped up , his eyes filled with stark bewilderment and helplessness . He looked at 87.50 % me . " Scar ... Scarlett . " I turned my face away , unwilling to look at him any longer . " See them out , Mom . " " " " " My mother looked at me . She understood her daughter , knew the hidden pain I carried , and her heart ached even more for me . Emily stood outside the door , her mouth quivering , tears falling fast . She utterly despised Jacob now ! Jacob ignored my mother's request to leave . He rushed forward , grabbed my hand , and trembling . " Scarlett , please don't do this . I swear , it never went that far between me and that woman . Maybe I lost my head for a moment . Please forgive me this once , okay ? " I turned my head away , feeling only disappointment and disgust . Feeling the coolness on my neck , I suddenly spoke . " I'm pregnant . Where is the other Ocean's Heart ? Bring it to me . " Jacob , thinking of something , froze . His lips moved , but no sound came out for a long time . His face grew increasingly pale . I closed my eyes , a mocking smile curling my lips . My voice was hoarse . " You can't bring it , can you ? Because you gave it to her ! You gave the necklace that belonged to me , that belonged to our child , to your mistress ! " " Jacob Kingsley , why would you do this to me ? " " Why ! " Seeing my emotional outburst , my mother's tears fell instantly . She hurried forward to hold me.She yelled at the four Kingsleys at the door . " Get out ! From today onward , the Summers and Kingsley families are finished with each other ! All joint projects will be completely divested within a week ! If you don't agree to the divorce , we'll see you in court ! " Emily looked at me , her eyes red . " Sis ... " Mrs . Kingsley panicked , growing angrier at her dazed son . But afraid of upsetting me further , she could only pull him away . I closed my eyes , breathing heavily , feeling as if my heart were being gouged by a knife . Meanwhile , outside the hospital . The four Kingsleys stood looking grim , unsure what to do . And just then , Chloe showed up . 87.50 %
