Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 5

“Isn’t that perfect? Your son’s turning into an idiot. Listen, Ophelia, I’m already pregnant with Augustus’s child. The one in my belly is the heir to the Reynolds Group. I will be thrilled if your son becomes an idiot.”

With a snap, Kimberly hung up immediately.

Ophelia tried calling again, but she couldn’t get through.

She looked at her son’s fever growing worse in her arms.

Her whole body shook.

She immediately called Margaret.

Margaret hesitated, “Mrs. Reynolds, I can’t help. Mr. Reynolds ordered that anyone who brings you or Julian even a cup of water will be fired immediately.”

The call was cut off again.

Pain filled her eyes as she stared at her phone with only five percent battery left.

She put her son down.

She slammed her whole body against the wooden door. Once. Twice. Didn’t work. Three times.

Her entire body ached like it was exploding, but she didn’t stop.

After hundreds of attempts, the door finally gave way.

She was in so much pain that she couldn’t even lift her fingers, but she still held her son and ran

out.

“Jules, hold on. Mommy will get you to the hospital right away.”

Julian was burning so badly, he was unresponsive.

Tears streamed down Ophelia’s face.

“Jules, Mommy will get you out, I promise.”

Ophelia couldn’t drive. No one in the villa would help her. In the middle of the night, she had no choice but to turn to Augustus.

She ran into the villa.

Upstairs, she burst into Augustus’s room, holding her son.

She saw Augustus caring for Kimberly.

A flash of panic crossed his eyes.

But he said coldly, “Kim had a nightmare. She came over to me just now.”

Seeing the intimate scene between them, Ophelia felt nothing.

“Augustus, take my son to the hospital now. He has a fever.”

Augustus still had a shred of conscience.

Seeing Julian’s condition, he immediately took him to the hospital.

Kimberly cried, “Ophelia, how can you be so cruel? Hurting Jules like this, making him sick and feverish, just to make Augustus feel sorry for you?”

Hearing this, Augustus’s expression darkened.

He handed Julian back to Ophelia.

“Ophelia, you deliberately used your son to soften me. Since this is your doing, you can walk him to the hospital yourself.”

He was unwilling.

Ophelia’s face went pale.

“Augustus, I want a divorce. Please, take Jules to the hospital now. His fever is bad. He can’t wait.”

For a moment, Augustus looked shocked.

To him, Ophelia was never weak.

She was terrifyingly calm. Even when she was under him, she was shy but calm.

He was about to speak.

Kimberly cried, clutching her belly.

“Augustus, my stomach hurts so much.”

Augustus looked at Kimberly.

He touched her flat stomach without hesitation.

“Kim, are you okay?”

Ophelia grabbed Augustus’s hand.

“Augustus, take Jules to the hospital, please. I’ll do whatever you want. Divorce. I don’t want the property. I just want Jules.”

Hearing her mention divorce, Augustus instantly got furious.

“I will never divorce you! Ophelia, you are my wife. That will never change.”

But he held Kimberly and tried to leave.

“Since you could solve the problem with the photos last time, you can handle your son’s fever this time too.”

Ophelia held Julian and followed Augustus’s car, chasing after them.

“Augustus, please, take the child, take him to the hospital.”

But all she got was Augustus speeding away, not willing to stop even for a second.

Seeing his determination, Ophelia laughed bitterly.

It was her mistake. A huge mistake.

Julian, Augustus didn’t deserve to be his father, nor did he deserve her research.

Ophelia immediately dialed 911 on the landline.

Since Augustus refused to take their son to the hospital even though she begged him, she wouldn’t give him a single chance from now on.

Two days later.

While caring for her son, she also overheard gossip.

“Did you know? Mr. Reynolds rented an entire floor of the hospital for his wife. He treats her like

“Yes, he’s so romantic. I heard their love has been running for ten years.”

“But what happened last time?”

“I don’t know. That woman might have been fake, just someone who looked like Mrs. Reynolds. That’s what the internet says.”

“Yeah, Mr. Reynolds loves his wife so much, there’s no way he would strip her on the spot. It must have been a fake trying to seduce him. That’s why he got angry.”

Ophelia saw that Julian’s fever had subsided.

She needed to go to the company to get her things. She thought she probably knew what the password was.

She asked a friend to take care of her son.

She headed to the company.

But on the way, she was suddenly hit by a car.

Her whole body ached as she lay on the ground, bleeding.

She heard the sirens, the sounds of emergency treatment.

In a daze, she heard Augustus’s voice.

“Mr. Reynolds, are you really going to give Ms. Monroe one of Mrs. Reynolds’s kidneys?”
