Chapter 8
Alyssa stood outside all night, getting drenched in the rain until dawn was breaking and her phone battery was almost dead. She numbly walked out and hailed a car back to the villa.
The maid saw her all wet and panicked instantly, quickly helping her wash up with hot water and making soup to drive away the cold. But her blurred consciousness made it difficult for her to even distinguish directions, let alone go upstairs by herself. The maid tentatively approached and touched her forehead, only to find her body burning hot. Immediately, she called Austin.
When Austin received the message and hurried back, she had already fainted completely due to a high fever. No matter how anxiously he called out, there was no response at all.
He hurriedly carried her into the car and rushed to the hospital all the way.
After taking the medicine, Alyssa finally woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Austin
sitting by the bedside, with dark circles under his eyes and a bit of stubble on his chin, looking like he hadn’t slept all night.
Seeing her wake up, he couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes. He held her hand without the IV drip and
placed it on his face, his tone filled with a regained sense of surprise.
“Sweetheart, you finally woke up, finally woke up.”
He stayed with her all day, never leaving her side. He fed her water when she was thirsty, and food
when she was hungry. He was so meticulous that even the nurses who came to change her bandages couldn’t help but praise him. However, every evening, he would suddenly disappear without a trace.
There were no other patients on this floor, and it was particularly quiet at night, so the voices of nurses passing by occasionally sounded especially clear.
“Did
you
hear? Mrs. Burton had a fever, and Mr. Burton took care of her. Upstairs, there’s a girl who’s pregnant, and a mysterious big shot also rented that floor. Both of them are really great
guys!”
“I envy them, but it’s strange to think about it. Mr. Burton on this floor appears during the day,
while the men on that floor only appear at night.”
“Who knows, maybe it’s just a hobby for rich people.”
The sound of conversation faded away as the nurse left, and Alyssa, who was still awake in the
ward, took in every word they had said.

She tugged at her lips, but couldn’t force a smile, only leaving endless bitterness to linger in her heart.
Originally, a person can really love two people at the same time.
Another evening, after dinner, Alyssa lay directly on the hospital bed and fell asleep with her eyes
closed.
Austin didn’t think much either, just thought she was tired, tucked her in and didn’t leave immediately, but still sat there waiting for her to fall asleep.
She also closed her eyes and before long, the sound of gentle breathing could be heard.

He called her name softly several times, and when she didn’t respond, he gently placed a kiss on her forehead before quietly leaving the room and heading upstairs.
”
He walked quickly, so he didn’t see that there was still someone quietly following behind him.
Alyssa followed Austin upstairs and watched as he walked crookedly into a hospital room.
Through the window on the door, I could see the scene inside the ward.
Just now, she was carefully taking care of her Austin, and now she is holding a bowl of porridge,
whispering softly to Maggie.

“Be good, drink a little more, baby can’t be hungry, neither can you.”
The intimate tone and gentle expression were no different from Austin when he deeply loved her.
She didn’t want to look anymore, turned around and hurriedly went downstairs.
Just as I walked back to the ward, my phone rang with a message alert.
“It’s Maggie.”
“Mrs. Burton, why did you leave after just a short while? Last time you listened to our bed scene all night, I thought you would confront me directly, but I didn’t expect you to be so patient. Do you really think Mr. Burton loves you? If he loves you, then how could I be pregnant?”
“You don’t know yet, Mr. Burton has been seeing me for a year, 365 days, we were almost in bed
you and every day, including your birthday, the day you met, your anniversary, he would finish with then come to me eagerly, he couldn’t get enough of my body, 82 positions, he tossed me around.”
“He was very fierce, we have left traces of love in hotels, offices, Maybach, clubs, and even your
bridal chamber.”

“By the way, not long ago, there was someone in the circle who took a liking to me and wanted me to sleep with him for a night. When he found out, he went crazy, beat that man half to death, and then tossed me around a dozen times that night, forcing me to call him husband over and over again and swear not to look at other men again. If I remember correctly, that day, you were still having a fever, and he left you to come find me.”
“Now that we have children, if you have any sense of propriety, you shouldn’t be occupying Mrs. Burton’s position. Pack up and leave now. If you leave now, you can still save some face for yourself. Otherwise, once my child is born, you might just be kicked out unceremoniously.”
Message after message came in one after another, like a series of invisible silver needles that stabbed Alyssa, leaving her bloodied.
Tears uncontrollably streamed down, she trembled as she raised her hand to wipe them away, but
could never soothe the scarred heart.
Oh, Austin.
Oh, Austin.
You said never to disappoint, you said love me for a lifetime, you said, “there will be no one else in
this life.”
“Word by word, sentence by sentence, you were lying to me.”
