Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 8

He spoke coldly and walked away without hesitation. The Rolls-Royce soon sped off and vanished into

the rain.

Maia’s smile grew even more bitter.

‘I had it coming? Am I that evil to him? He only came to humiliate me, didn’t he?’

Pain radiated from her lower abdomen, and warm blood soaked her hospital gown. Unable to tell where

she was hurting anymore, she felt blood was draining out from her.

She was in so much pain that her whole body went numb.

Experiencing a second significant bleeding, she was rushed to the hospital and wheeled into the

operating room.

Although Errol was beaten, he could recover sooner because he was young. Maia, however, just had a

miscarriage and was weak to begin with.

She had nearly lost her life due to excessive blood loss.

When she woke up, her beautiful face was deathly pale. To make matters worse, the Larkins had

officially announced her divorce from Cedric.

She could feel nothing but despair. With the announcement, there could be no turning back for them.

Maia chuckled bitterly as she thought, ‘You still hoped he won’t divorce you, huh? How could you be so

Judging by its packaging, Maia could tell it was her favorite red velvet cake.

“Thanks, Nigel.” Maia squeezed out a smile.

“Don’t mention it.” Nigel put the box of cake before her. “Dig in. I waited in line for an hour for this.”

Unlike Cedric, who was cold-hearted, Nigel was warm and gentle. Even so, he was not the one she

Although the red velvet cake was her favorite treat, she had no appetite. She used to enjoy the cake

because of its sweetness, but now it seemed bitter.

They fell into silence.

After a moment, Nigel said, “Maia, after what he’s done, you still can’t get over him, can you? Were you

expecting to see him instead of me?”
