While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen
As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

In the mansion, Wendy, with one hand on her swollen belly, asked a maid anxiously, "Have you gotten any news from Your Highness?"

"Your Highness, His Highness said that he would do his best to help you solve the problem of Qin Mansion. He wanted Your Highness to stay at home and wait for the delivery." The maid Lucy glanced her hand, which was already pale from the grasping by Wendy, and a dash of displeasure flashed through her eyes. Disappointed, she withdrew her hand, and Wendy almost fell to the ground.

"Watch out, Your Highness!" Lucy held Wendy with one hand, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes. From now on, you are not Your Highness, and she will no longer be a slave, but a concubine of this mansion.

Thinking of this, Lucy burst into laughter. Thinking of her wonderful and grand day, she felt all her efforts over the years were worthwhile.

"Lucy, where is Judy? Why haven't I seen Judy these days?" Wendy asked Judy to inquire about His Highness's whereabouts, but Judy hadn't come back. Wendy wondered how her grandpa and other clans were doing, and if His Highness had begged the imperial edict from the Emperor, which meant that he had saved her grandpa's family?

"Judy is helping them. She'll probably be back today." Lucy grinned evilly. "I wonder how Qin Mansion is. Now Your Highness has been busy running around for the Qin family. He should has been very tired."

"Yes he is." Wendy sat down slowly. Jack was her husband, and was the first son of Prince Song. Although he was conferred by the Emperor as Royal Highness, he had no money and status. Jack's fame and fortune were closely related to Wendy.

Jack was a son of a concubine of Song Mansion. Although the heir to Song Mansion was not granted a younger son, the eldest son of a concubine could not get anything else except the title of a Royal Highness. Jack's achievement had something to do with Wendy's family, Qin Mansion.

The Qin family was a military general's family, but only had one son and a daughter. Their son was good. He was well-known in the battlefield, and later took over the position of his father Lord Qin. Their daughter was also talented and married the prime minister. Unfortunately, this prime minister's wife died in a big fire when her daughter Wendy was 14 years old.

Therefore, the Qin family had treated Wendy very well. Although Qin family didn’t think that Jack was an ideal grandson-in-law, they allowed him into the army for the sake of their beloved granddaughter. With the support of the Qin family, Jack won the fame of today.

"By the way, Lucy, where is Alice? How is she doing recently?" Wendy asked again. Thinking of her younger sister, she couldn't help but shed tears. Alice was also a poor woman. After getting married for three years, her husband died, and her mother-in-law was a mighty woman. She swore Alice for cursing her son. Since Alice lived a hard life, Wendy let her sister live with her together.

A vicious light flashed in Lucy's eyes. Lady Alice, was very good. She was now engaged to His Highness in the antechamber. You will lose your position soon.

"Lady Alice has been very busy recently."

"Really? It's all my fault." Fondling her swollen belly, Wendy said, "If I didn't get pregnant, I won't trouble Alice to do concubine work for me."

Lucy looked at Wendy with disdain. What a stupid and hopeless woman! Lady Alice did the concubine work was not for you, but for herself. Only in this way could she be the lawful wife of His Highness!

"Lady!" Suddenly, a figure broke into TY Boudoir. Wendy paused for a moment, and said, "Lucy, I think Judy is back."
