They Took My Uterus While She Took My Place in His Bed novel Chapter 4

I hung up before he could respond.

He must have been shocked.

I had never refused him before.

For the past ten years, I had done everything to be the perfect wife, gentle and obedient.

But he seemed to have forgotten—

The woman he fell in love with was never someone to be messed with.

I was done playing nice.

My newfound resolve barely lasted five minutes before I turned a corner and ran straight into Liam and Olivia.

Olivia was nestled in Liam's arms, completely sheltered by him.

"Don't worry. Just rest at home, I'll help you forget all this."

Olivia nodded, burrowing deeper into his chest.

"Liam, I'm so lucky to have you."

Liam held her even closer—but then, he looked up and saw me.

His brows furrowed.

"What are you doing here?"

Olivia quickly slipped out of his arms and rushed over to grab my hand.

"Charlotte, are you sick?"

"Liam, you should check on her! Stop fighting with her!"

I yanked my hand away.

"Save your fake concern."

Olivia looked wounded.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte."

"I shouldn't have asked Liam to come with me to the doctor."

"I've just been so scared."

"I can't sleep, and I keep seeing things that aren't there."

She blinked, and tears spilled over, falling like shattered pearls.

Who wouldn't pity her?

Liam immediately pulled her behind him, glaring at me.

"She's in a fragile state right now. Don't upset her."

I rolled my eyes and turned to leave.

Then, pain shot through my stomach, sharp and unrelenting.

I had to lean against the wall to steady myself.

Liam's expression changed—just a flicker of panic—but Olivia suddenly clutched her head, trembling violently.

"No! Please! Don't come near me!"

She collapsed onto the ground, sobbing hysterically.

Liam immediately turned away from me and knelt beside her, murmuring soft reassurances.

Only when she had calmed down did he finally look at me.

"I'll take her home first."

"Wait here—I'll send my assistant to pick you up."

"Don't bother."

I straightened up and walked past him.

Liam hesitated for a moment, then made his choice.

He took Olivia and left.
