“Larissa, you’re finally awake. You scared me to death just now.”
The memory of what I saw in the storage room flashed through my mind, filling me with disgust. I pushed him away.
“I’m fine,” I spat coldly.
Jacob froze for a moment, stunned by my rejection. A flicker of hurt flashed in his eyes.
I looked into Jacob’s tearful eyes and finally asked the question that had been weighing on my heart for days.
“Do you remember what I told you before we got married?”
Before our wedding, I made it clear to him: if he ever fell in love with someone else, he should tell me, and I would willingly step aside. But if he deceived me, I would disappear from his life forever.
Without hesitation, Jacob nodded.
“Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Did I do something wrong to upset you?”
He stood up abruptly, his expression turning serious, and commanded the nurse behind him, “Call every woman who has interacted with me recently!”
In just a few moments, my room was filled with over ten women—nurses, housemaids, and even Daisy, who stood among them with her hand resting smugly on her belly.
