The Void of Love: Living Without HerChapter 1
I, Mildred Bernal, stayed in the ancient world for Armand Alwyn and helped him become the prime minister.
But after seven years of our marriage, I still couldn't get pregnant.
One day, Armand brought his three-year-old son home.
He said to me, "I have no affection for him and his mother. I just don't want the Alwyn family's child to be homeless."
But he said to the child's birth mother, "Although Mildred is my wife, she is more like my aide. There is not that much love between us."
At that moment, I saw through Armand.
I agreed to let Armand break his vow and marry Estelle Reese.
And I chose to disappear in front of him on the day he married Estelle.

When I had just drunk a bowl of bitter fertility decoction, I heard Brenda say, "The child is coming."
I used to hate drinking medicinal decoction.
Every time when I needed to drink it, Armand would always coax me.
He would also give me a piece of preserved fruit.
But now, even if Armand was not by my side, I could drink bitter medicinal decoction without frowning.
I wiped the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief and bantered with Brenda, "It won't be so quick, okay?"
