Since Joel was not beside Rose, she exposed her nature directly. She stared at me and said to her friend, "Do you know this woman? She is my husband's... I heard that she cheated on her husband and was thrown out with nothing! She might look all tender and delicate, and innocent, but that's one hell of a hole, I'm telling you!"
She paused at the first sentence. Joel probably had warned her not to expose my true identity.
But the rest of the words that came out of her mouth... Well, typical b*tchy Rose.
Rose's friend pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really? She really did that? She doesn't look like that kind of woman at all!"
We were in a cafe. There were a lot of people around. Their voices were very loud, and the people around me are pointing at me and talking.
In their eyes, I was really a whore.
"A whore, right?" I thought. "F*cking easy to be lied to."
Just as I was still thinking in my head,
September suddenly appeared behind me and gave Rose a kick.
I also went up and fought with her!
There was no need to waste my time on words.
In the cafe, the four of us started fighting. Rose scolded, "September, you're crazy!"
In the end, two pregnant women, September and I, were sent to the hospital, but the two other b*stards were beaten into a coma!
And my arm was scratched by them!
It looked really terrible.
My body hurt terribly as well.
I underestimated the two of them.
When September and I were lying in the hospital, the first one who arrived was Joel, and then Benjamin, who was wrapped in coldness.
He came in and stood in front of me with a cold face, staring at me with a pair of deep eyes with his head slightly hanging down.
Benjamin stared at me and remained silent. His behavior made me realize that he was angry, but I felt that his anger was inexplicable.
The one who had been injured was me. Shouldn't this be the best time for his sweet words? What's with the long face?
A strange man was by Benjamin's side. Upon closer inspection, I could see that this man looked somewhat similar to Benjamin.
I tilted my head slightly to look at September. Although her face was bruised, her expression was calm. Joel sat by her side and kept silent.
He wanted to be with her, but he could not ask about her injuries.
"What are you looking at?"
Benjamin suddenly reached out and flicked the spot where my forehead was bruised. I gasped in pain and quickly reached out to cover my forehead and stared at him.
"What's that look? What did I teach you before? You can do whatever you want if I'm there with you. But when I'm not, do you best to keep yourself away from trouble." said Benjamin grumpily. "Just remember what they've done and tell me when you're home. Why did you fight them? What was your plan? TKO them, Bruce Lee? What's more, you're pregnant! Was there even one second that you were worried about your child, our child?"
I was stunned by Benjamin's criticism, but the man next to him laughed and said, "Ben, you are scaring her!"
Benjamin's face darkened, and then he asked, "Does it hurt?"
I nodded sincerely. "It hurts."
It would do me and him both good to show weakness.
"You deserve it." Benjamin put his palm on my forehead and said with his fingers gently across, "You should be glad that the owner of the cafe is a good man. He's the one who called 911."
So that was why he was angry as soon as he got here. He learned about the whole thing already.
I remembered that he said the exact same things after what Steve did to me.
I didn't expect that I would forget this a few months later.
Perhaps it was because I had lived too peacefully recently.
"I was the one who started it. If you want to blame someone, blame me." September turned her head to look at Benjamin and explained in a flat tone, "There is no reason to endure being bullied. If you keep holding it in for so long, it will eventually break out. At that time, no matter how you try, it will end up in a very ugly way."
September's words were pointed at something.
Benjamin narrowed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you get revenge, but you are pregnant!"
"Mr. Dunn, Em is your wife and I think you know better than anyone she's not the kind of person who could endure something like this!"
Joel stood up, put his hands on the side of his body, and said in a low voice, "They both have this kind of personality, so just let bygones be bygones."
Benjamin was just blaming me for going up against for whom I was no match. He just wanted to remind me not to do it again.
Although he knew that his words had little effect, he was willing to keep doing it for me.
He was afraid that I would get hurt.
Although he knew that what he said was in vain, being refuted by someone other than me was not a pleasant thing after all.
"Oh, so you know my wife quite well?"
Benjamin looked at Joel coldly and said in a cold tone, "Mind your own business, Shears!"
Benjamin stared directly at Joel. I looked at September with an embarrassed expression. She immediately tried to relieve the tense situation, "Joel, accompany me to the B-mode ultrasound room. I just left my film there."
When he saw September talking to him, he looked at her with joy in his eyes and quickly reached out to hold her arm and took her away.
