Chapter 8

Claire, who had fallen into a deep sleep, seemed to have a very long dream. In the dream, she was in a hospital, lying on a cold operating table, surrounded by doctors and nurses in white coats.

She wanted to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth no matter what she did.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally opened her eyes, only to find herself still lying in her bedroom at home.

Her whole body ached terribly, and she was about to get up and call the maid in when she overheard the maids chatting outside the door.

"Is Madam still asleep? Oh, she's so pitiful."

"Yes, you know, the master usually pretends to be so good to his wife, but who knew that behind her back he would be so ruthless towards her for Miss Knight's sake!"

"His father told him not to contact Miss Knight and arranged for someone to hit Miss Knight. So he took his anger out on his wife, drugged her, knocked her unconscious, took her to the hospital, and removed her uterus. He even broke off relations with the old man, saying that if he ever harmed Miss Knight again, he would repay his wife a hundredfold, just like he did now!"

He also said, "Don't even think about getting rid of the young master. The madam has lost her uterus and can no longer have children. Only Miss Knight is worthy to give birth to his child."

"Yes, and Mrs.Vane is still recovering. In order to prevent her from finding out, my husband took her directly home from the hospital and emphasized to us that we must not let her know."

"Tell me, who would dare tell her this? Wouldn't that be killing her?"

...

Claire sat on the bed in a daze, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body ached as if it were about to split open.

With trembling hands, she lifted her clothes and saw a scar on her abdomen. It was obviously stitched up not long ago, but she had been given anesthesia and the pain was not obvious.

At that moment, she felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

Silas not only strangled Blair's child and crippled her legs, but now he's even removed her uterus?

She couldn't take it anymore and wanted to get an explanation from Silas, so she forced herself to stagger off the bed and pushed her wheelchair out, stumbling and falling.

In her panic, she accidentally wandered into the room that Silas never allowed anyone to enter.

The moment she opened the door, she froze completely.

It turned out that not only were his phone full of photos of Blair, but the room was also filled with her photos.

And on the bookshelf, there are many memories of their love.

There was a scarf that Blair knitted for him, love letters he wrote to Blair, and the umbilical cord that Blair left behind when she gave birth to Leo.

There was also a diary on the desk. She opened it, and the first sentence that caught her eye was...

"Today I am going to marry a woman I do not love. I have already foreseen that the rest of my life will be filled with suffering."

Every word that followed was like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing her body.

Today Claire kept pestering me for more, so I gently comforted her and gave in to her again. But afterwards, I took three whole showers."

“I strangled Claire’s child with my own hands. He looked a lot like Claire, small, white and soft. I felt a moment of reluctance, but Blair shed tears. She said she didn’t want me to have a child with another woman, so I had no choice but to sacrifice Claire and watch the child die in my hands.”

"..."

As she read through each word, Claire completely broke down.

She desperately wanted to scream, but she couldn't utter a sound or make a sound.

How could he love her so much?

Silas, why do you love her so much?

For her sake, he willingly pushed his own wife and son into hell.
