Chapter 42

Suddenly, intimate sounds filled the room. They were very passionate.

With music playing, the lyrics coincidentally sang, “What if one day I’m no longer kind?”

Did this sentence refer to me or Caitlyn?

The song continued, “I always strive to be a pillar for others, yet who contemplates my needs? We traverse through life, witnessing its peaks and valleys, time slipping by silently, yet instilling a sense of unease within us each day.”

It was a realistic song, but if one day I was no longer kind, Leland, what would you do?

“Boom! The sound of thunder and lightning made me shiver in fear.

I hid in the corner of the room, trembling. I’d always been scared of thunder since childhood.

When my parents were here, they protected me, and I wasn’t afraid.

But they were gone. For a long time, it was always Leland who comforted me during thunderstorms.

Yet, at this moment…

Leland, don’t leave. I’m scared of the thunder, and the baby is too. Please stay with

us, okay?”

Leland replied, “Kaylie is also afraid of thunder. I can’t leave her alone; she’ll cry.”

Then I heard a door opening, followed by Caitlyn’s voice, “Ah! Leland, it hurts! My stomach hurts so much!”

Leland said, “I’ll have my assistant take you to the hospital.”

“No, Leland, my stomach really hurts bad. You promised that no matter if it’s a boy or a girl, we’d name them Leslie. And didn’t you say you’d make sure our kid takes over the Leslie Group one day?”

“Shut up. Lie down on the bed right now. I’ll wait until your stomach stops hurting before I leave.”

Hearing this, I didn’t know if I was angry or scared, but I felt weak and collapsed.

Stomach pain made me roll on the floor.

“Ah! My stomach hurts so much!” I grabbed my phone and called Leland.

But the phone wasn’t answered.

I was scared and turned the bug back on. Hearing his voice would comfort me.

But there was no sound. Had he discovered the bug?

Despair filled me. Leland! Leland!”

I screamed in despair,’I hate you! Leland, I hate you!”

I told myself not to cry, to overcome my fear of thunder. I told myself to be strong.

Without Leland’s support, I would face many thunderstorms alone in the future.

Leaning on the bed, I slowly stood up. I was trembling with fear, but compared to the pain of Leland’s betrayal, this fear was nothing.
