"You mean nothing to me, you don't count for anything!"
Bella White's voice was cold as ice, her concern for even the basic decency of face-saving for Ethan Thompson now gone!
The past replayed in her mind, scene by scene. Her heart had once been deeply wounded, she had been scarred all over—was she a masochist to reminisce the past? Or even to grasp at it?
Count for nothing? Ethan's body swayed twice, almost falling over.
The thought that their child had been miscarried, and moreover, to save Susanna Smith's deceased daughter's life, wrenched his heart painfully!
How could he have been so bewitched then, to have believed Susanna's words? And without considering his wife's explanation, to have firmly condemned her as a heartless and ruthless person?!
He had originally planned to leave Susanna after their child was born, and have Bella raise it, while he would spend a lifetime making up for his debt to Bella.
