(Lily is light) Chapter 6
I got a high fever after I went back
home. Trent returned home, smelling of
wine. Seeing me unconscious in bed and my red face, he panicked and carried me to the hospital.
I woke up, slowly lifted my eyelids. Seeing me awake, the nurse
exclaimed, “Mrs. Holloway, you’re finally awake! You had a fever for a day and a night. Mr. Holloway was so worried about you that he stayed by your bed until he just got a phone call. Should I call him? He’ll be happy to know you’re awake.”
I shook my head, my voice raspy.“No.”
The nurse left after feeding me
medicine. The large room was quiet; I

could hear Trent talking on the phone. He was always calm, and I used to be the only
one who could affect him. His voice
carried joy and excitement.
Soon, his footsteps faded. He left.
I got out of bed and followed him. A few floors down, I saw Trent supporting Vanessa, who had just come out of the obstetrics and gynecology department! They were both smiling broadly.
Seeing me, Vanessa feigned surprise.” Mrs. Holloway, so nice to meet you! what
a small world!”
Trent looked up and met my gaze. He
froze, releasing Vanessa’s arm.
“Honey, I… I was getting your

bumped into Vanessa. She’s pregnant, so I
held her.”
He explained nervously, fearing that
I would be annoyed.
My gaze fell on Vanessa’s belly, and I
couldn’t even breathe. Closing my eyes, I
asked, “Ms. Bell… when did you get
pregnant? Where’s the father?”
Vanessa touched her belly, smiling
sweetly.“I just found out about it, and it’s
been a month. The father is not here, but I
know he’s overjoyed. He bought me
several villas and gave me one hundred
million bucks. Besides, he’s gonna set off
fireworks all over town to celebrate my
pregnancy.”

She was beating. I stared at her for a
long time, then forced a smile. “Really?”
Vanessa smiled, even more smug. “Yes, Mrs. Holloway, are you free tonight? I’ll
invice you to have dinner with us.”
Trent’s expression changed. He
scowled a Vanessa, cutting her off. “Don’t
bother. My wife doesn’t have time.”
He bugged me, his tone gentle. He
was appeating me.
“Honey, your fever has just remitted
and you need to rest. She’s just an
endorser I work with. Don’t waste your
time one her.”
Hearing that, Vanessa’s face turned
pale. She lowered her head, tearfully

saying, “Yes, I’m I sorry I crossed the line. I‘
m not worthy of dining with Mrs.
Holloway.”
She wiped her tears and stormed off.
Trent’s expression changed. He
wanted to explain, but seeing me
standing there calmly, he gave up.
Feeling much well, I went home.
Trent was distracted, perhaps because he
knew what he said hurt Vanessa. Then, he
locked himself in the study under the
pretext of work.
Back in my room, I received a picture
from Vanessa. It was a pregnancy test.
Her provocative words came through:
[Lily, I know you’ve found out that

Trent is the father of my child. You think
he loves you, right? But if he really loved you, how would I get pregnant?]
[Do you know how obsessed he is
with me? Every year on your birthday and on your wedding anniversary, he would
come to stay with me after he put you to
sleep. He’s so crazy about me that we use
dozens of condoms each time. I couldn’t
even walk the next day.]
[We’ve left traces of our sex in his
Maybach, his office, and even your
bedroom. Seventy–two positions, he’s
tried them all on me. People say sex and
love are inseparable. Has he ever had such
intense, crazy sex with you?]
Taking a deep breath, I suppressed

my emotions. As I turned off my phone, Trent hugged me from behind.
“Sweetheart, what are you looking at?”
He rested his chin on my neck, seeing
only the black screen of my phone.
