Chapter 3

I lay there, the world fading around me, pain and betrayal intertwining. The murmurs of the crowd grew distant as darkness edged into my vision.
They made sure to close the door behind them before leaving.
If I hadn't bitten down hard on my tongue, forcing myself to cling to the last thread of consciousness, crawling to the door to knock and draw the attention of a waiter who rushed me to the hospital, I might've really become a dead body in that room.
When I woke up again, my belly was flat like a board, as if the whole pregnancy had been a dream.
The doctor said I had taken veterinary abortion pills, causing massive uterine bleeding.
She added, almost smugly, that I'd probably never be able to get pregnant again.
Her words hit me like a cold slap, the weight of which settled heavily in my chest. It was only then that I noticed I'd become a trending topic.
Some random person with barely any followers claimed to expose my shameless behavior. They posted videos of what happened in that private room.
They uploaded it after editing the conversation.
In the video, I was spewing arrogant remarks. After my husband accused me of infidelity, not only did I show no remorse, but I even boasted that I had done nothing wrong.
And it was in the same video, that Charles and Jessica were portrayed as the righteous ones.
Netizens praised them for their sense of justice, and their striking looks led people to comment on how much of a perfect couple they seemed.
The video even included the shot where Charles forced me to take abortion pills.
But thanks to their awesome editing skills, in this version of truth, Charles became the hero. He was trying to stop me from taking them instead of pushing'em down my throat.
Watching me writhe in agony on the floor, bleeding heavily after taking the pills, netizens piled on.
[She deserves it!]
[Unloyal women like her should be drowned to death!]
[She should've taken poisons instead of abortion pills! The Hell is where she belongs!]
