"Oh, definitely. I heard the head nurse say they're already making plans. As soon as Ms. Lennox is discharged in a couple of days, they're taking her on a European vacation to celebrate as a family of three..."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Seraphina forgot to call out for help, her hand still frozen mid-air in the posture of reaching for the water.
She stared at the half-open door, suddenly finding the entire situation laughable.
A woman with a scraped finger was staying in a VIP suite, surrounded by a top-tier medical team.
Meanwhile, as the wife who had just barely clawed her way back from death's door, she had been tossed into a standard room, unable to even get a sip of water.
The daughter she had practically raised single-handedly had never once blown on her food to cool it down, yet was hand-feeding another woman.
She was Dominic's lawfully wedded wife.
But in everyone's eyes, Lauren Lennox was the woman Mr. Lockwood cherished most...
Things like this had happened far too many times.
She should have woken up to reality a long time ago.
This marriage had been a mistake from the very beginning.
Dominic didn't love her at all.
From the day they married, he had offered her nothing but coldness, disgust, and impatience.
She had always assumed he was just a man who didn't know how to smile.
That was until Lauren entered the picture. She had watched with her own eyes as her iceberg of a husband beamed at Lauren, treating her with a tenderness that made him seem like a completely different person.
She had even seen him kneel to personally help Lauren put on her shoes.
Yet in their six years of marriage, Seraphina had never even received a glass of water from him.
She had considered giving up on this marriage before.
She knew Dominic had only married her because of pressure from his family.
That accident years ago had led to a one-night stand. He had always believed she drugged him, convinced she was a manipulative and scheming woman.
But she had been a victim too.
