"When did you meet her?"Gilda asked as she struggled to stand in the dim light on crutches.
"Did you follow me?" Jensen's face darkened quickly.
"Do I look like such a bored person? I saw you and the other woman in the hospital." Although her voice was low, she spoke clearly.
After saying that, she couldn't help feeling sad.
However, Jensen just looked a little bit mad.
He had never cared about her since the air crash, and every word he said showed his disgust and impatience with her.
The three-year marriage was nothing to him.
Gilda spent three years living with her mean mother-in-law and taking care of her sister-in-law who never liked her. She was humble as a servant at home and worked hard as a secretary in the company.
She did all this just to fulfill Marilyn's wish and have a baby for Jensen so that he would be fond of her. She would find it comforting even if he showed a little concern for her.
However, the fact was that she hadn't been touched by him in the past three years.
Even when they slept in one bedroom, they lay on two separate beds.
She endured the pain all over her body and looked Jensen in his cold eyes.
Somehow, she plucked up the courage and laughed, "Your mom said that I was infertile yet you got your mistress pregnant. Don't you think that's a huge humiliation for me?"
She raised her chin and walked unsteadily towards Jensen on crutches, trying to tug at his clothes with her right hand.
Unexpectedly, he grabbed her wrist with his strong hand.
Jensen stared at her indifferently. "Madeleine is not my mistress. I've known her for more than twenty years."
'It turns out that they grew up together...' Gilda thought as she felt his grip on her tighter and tighter.
Jensen went on, "She went abroad for five years, during which we've never contacted each other."
