Chapter 5

　　Zoey has known Jerome for so many years. She knew him well. If he thinks that this child was fathered by another man, he will force her to abort it. Though she was fearful, she tried her best to be calm. 　　She softened her voice and said cautiously, "Just a month ago, on your birthday. You were drunk." 　　Jerome's eyebrows frowned and recalled his birthday, which he had spent in a Karaoke bar with his friends. He got so drunk that his friends had taken him to rest in a small hotel room nearby. 　　That night, he did have a relationship with a woman. But that woman was Xyrille, and not Zoey, he was sure of it. 　　It was not Zoey. The more he thought about it, the more furious Jerome was. "I never touched you! Not there, not anywhere else! Even if I was dead drunk, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t touch you with a 10-foot pole!" 　　"We really did it that night." She looked at him. "You were drunk. It was your friend who asked me to pick you up. As soon as I went in, you put me on the sofa! If you don't believe it, you can check the CCTV footage. The child is really yours!" 　　Jerome narrowed his eyes and didn't speak. 　　Not noticing his reaction, Zoey continued." Jerome, you know, I’ve loved you for so many years. I gave my heart to you. How can I be pregnant with someone else's child? I’ve never been with anyone else, just you." 　　"Even if it's mine, I don't want it!" He dragged her by the hand to the surgery room. Whether she wanted it or not, she was going to have an abortion. 　　That morning, at the hotel, the first person he saw when he woke up was Xyrille. Her clothes were scattered all over the floor. Her body had red marks all over. There was no way it was Zoey. 　　The Fu family had always owned this hospital, and he had been helping out with administrative work here since he was a teenager. Though he was making a scene, everyone here knew him, so no one dared to stop Jerome. 　　Zoey's heart trembled as he dragged her to the surgery room. 　　She wanted this child. She would do anything to keep it! 　　"Jerome, I promise you, I’m signing the divorce right away!" She clutched at the railing. "After the divorce, my child will have nothing to do with you..." She trailed off, lost in her thoughts. By the time the embryo reached four months old, she can have her amniotic fluid tested. He would know that she had never betrayed him. 　　Jerome's dark eyes glared at her. "Didn't you refuse to sign last night? Now you want to divorce, just for this child!” 　　"I don't..." 　　"This child must go!" 　　It was as if a pair of invisible hands were tearing at her insides. The pain made her sweat. 　　"Jerome, even a dog would develop feelings after so many years. Why are you so cruel to me?" Zoey felt light-headed and wobbly, as if she could fall down at any time. "Have mercy on me. As long as you don't hurt my child, I will do what you want. I will sign the divorce. I will disappear immediately, and I will never come back! Jerome, please..." 　　To Zoey, her husband’s cold treatment of her has always been like a sharp blade that went straight into her heart. 　　It wasn’t entirely accurate to say that since they were married, she had never touched his heart. It wasn’t true that he had never felt anything for her at all. Even as he told her that he would never touch her, often he was tempted. She had a very beautiful face, a graceful body and her skin was near perfect. 　　However, it was that very beauty that also pushed him away. He knew she was very attractive, and that she could get any man she wanted, if she chose to. The thought that she was carrying someone else’s child in her belly drove him mad. Jerome wanted to tear her to pieces!
