I knew Jeremiah did not love me, but I did not expect even his teammates to see me like this.
The intense contractions in my abdomen made it impossible for me to make any sound.
The skin peeled off under the high temperatures.
All the team members were busy extinguishing the fire and no one asked about my situation.
In a semi–conscious state, I heard someone beside me exclaim.
“Oh! Why is there so much blood on the ground? Oh no, is there something wrong with Zenith?”
“What’s wrong with her? She just wants Jeremiah to come over and take a look at her. She’s been making such a fuss for quite

some time. Forget it, just ask him to come over and take a look at her!”
But I did not get Jeremiah’s concern, only his ruthless and merciless questioning.
The gloved hand slapped me hard twice in the face.
“Zenith, wake up! Stop pretending, I’m here.”
“Is your brain gone? You set the fire and burned yourself like this, is it interesting?”
To this point, he still thought that I was the one who set the fire and that I was just acting, out of jealousy.
I wanted to give an explanation, but my mouth was too dry to say a word.
My stomach was even more excruciating.
I could only reach out and grab his sleeve, hoping that he would understand my desire for help.
But he hesitated for two seconds and then

pressed hard on my abdomen.
“You acted pretty convincingly. If Yvonne hadn’t said you hid yourself after setting the fire, I would have believed it.”
After leaving these words, he turned and left without hesitation.
In the next second, the exclamations of the team members came from beside him.
“Jeremiah! Blood! Your wife is bleeding!”
“Did she have a miscarriage?”
“Don’t worry about her. Yvonne said it’s just chicken blood. The baby is already five months old, how can it be so easy to miscarry? Let her act if she loves acting.”
After the severe pain, my eyes went dark and I completely lost consciousness.
In my dream, I seemed to have returned to the time when I first met Jeremiah.
At a campus lecture, his face was as cold as an iceberg, but his excellent professional

skills captured the hearts of many girls.
I was no exception. After falling in love. with him at first sight, I started to ask around about him.
At that time, I was still an intern lecturer at the campus and he coud not see me.
I worked harder and harder to get his
attention.
A few months later, I became a regular employee and then treated him to a meal in the name of gratitude.
I keenly noticed that the way he looked at me had changed.
I seized this opportunity and chased after him relentlessly.
Flowers, basketball, cakes, coffee.
I was never stingy with gifts.
Finally, I confessed my feelings to him and he accepted it.
I thought it was the beginning of my

happiness, but it turned out to be the beginning of my nightmare.
After we got together, he became more and more indifferent to me. Every time we went. on a date, he was either busy with work or on an emergency rescue mission.
I never doubted his words until our wedding day.
An email from abroad completely destroyed my beautiful dream.
Yvonne recorded the ten years they spent together in detail and every second of their memories made my heart ache.
It turned out that all the time he missed the appointment, he was spending with another woman.
What was even more pathetic was that I did not even have the courage to question him.
I was afraid he might leave me.
In my previous life, when Yvonne died, he was so calm that I thought I was the winner

in this relationship.
He almost emptied out all the maternity and baby stores in the city for me and my
child.
The sudden surge of love made my mind go wild and I completely lost the ability to think.
I did not understand until the moment I gave birth and died at his hands.
He was not trying to love me with his life, he was just trying hard to seek revenge.
