All the wrongs and pressure virtual-novel.net had suffered these past few days made virtual-novel.net collapse in an instant.
It was all so much for virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net hammered his chest with virtual-novel.net little fists, berating virtual-novel.net softly, “It’s all your fault. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I went begging and pleading everywhere. Don’t you know I never begged anyone for anything before? Sob…”
Wynn cried virtual-novel.net heart out. Philip hugged virtual-novel.net even more tightly. “Sorry, Wynn, it was my fault. I promised you that I would give you and Mila a bright future. Please believe me.”
More than five minutes passed like that before Wynn’s emotions finally settled down.
After that, virtual-novel.net asked Philip worriedly, virtual-novel.net eyes red, “Since you got into such a huge fight with your parents, do you still have enough money to pay for Mila’s surgery?”
Philip was a little awkward and sheepish as virtual-novel.net said, “Actually, I have a card. It probably has a couple million in there. I never took it out before because I didn’t want to scare you. You don’t have to worry about anything now, I’ll handle everything.”
Wynn nodded forcefully and did not ask anymore.
She knew that there had to be a reason why Philip kept all this from virtual-novel.net for so many years, only to tell virtual-novel.net so much today.
Philip was quite stubborn and had his ego. She had known that since virtual-novel.net first met him.
Over the past three years, virtual-novel.net went from a proud, stubborn man to someone who was willing to toil and take insults. He had been tolerating so much for so long, so virtual-novel.net must be exhausted and covered with scars.
To be honest, Wynn was quite nervous to find out so much all at once.
She could not be certain about anything, but virtual-novel.net was willing to believe Philip.
At least now virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was not a good-for-nothing, after all.
Tonight, Philip had told a lie, a little half-lie.
He lay on the floor, looking at Wynn’s slender back and Mila’s adorable face as they slept on the bed. Philip’s heart was still in turmoil. How was virtual-novel.net supposed to keep up this lie now? What a pain.
‘Wynn, you might not know this, but your husband’s family is more than a little richer than the Grants.’
No one in the world, not a single family anywhere was wealthier than Philip.
Whatever, virtual-novel.net would just have to take it one step at a time.
The next morning, in the washroom, Philip looked at Wynn and asked somewhat worriedly, “Do you want to go back to the hospital today? You’ve barely been hospitalized for a couple days.”
Wynn smiled calmly and said, “It’s alright. Why waste all that money? Hurry up and feed Mila virtual-novel.net food. My parents want us to go back for a visit today. They probably need to see us for something.”
Philip did not say anything more. He had already contacted Henry Turner to handle Mila’s hospitalization that afternoon.
When they arrived at his in-laws’ place, Philip could sense that the atmosphere in the home was heavy from the moment virtual-novel.net stepped through the door.
Martha and Charles were sitting on the couch, the household register booklet resting on the coffee table.
Both of them had hard expressions on their faces.
“Oh, you’re back now? Alright, come with me to the Municipal Civil Administration Bureau so we can get things done.” Martha’s face was frosty. She gave Philip and Mila, who virtual-novel.net was holding, a vicious glare, muttering, “You brought that little b*stard home again too. Gah, what bad luck.”
Martha had been in a bad mood since yesterday, and virtual-novel.net had not gotten a wink of sleep last night. All virtual-novel.net could think of was how to get Wynn to divorce Philip.
Philip heard Martha’s murmur, and his expression turned cold too. In his arms, Mila hugged his neck tightly, virtual-novel.net large eyes shining with fear.
Wynn pitched in exasperatedly, “What are you doing now, Mom? If you’re just here to ask me to divorce Philip, we can leave right now.”
With that, Wynn put virtual-novel.net shoes back on and prepared to leave.
She knew exactly what virtual-novel.net mother was like. Martha could not go a day without drama.
Martha instantly grew livid at those words. She roared, “Wynn Johnston, if you dare to walk out of this door today, you can forget about calling me your mother! Our household register is right here. If you don’t get that divorce, I’ll cross you off our register! Your father and I will disown you!”
Martha was furious. Why was virtual-novel.net daughter such a fool?
Did virtual-novel.net really want to spend the rest of virtual-novel.net life with this worthless wretch?
Wynn’s temper was running very high too. Why did virtual-novel.net mother insist on being so unreasonable?
She gave Philip a complicated look. She had been trying to believe Philip since virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net all that last night.
“Mom, why are you so against Philip? Is it because he’s poor?” Wynn asked.
Martha was so angry that virtual-novel.net face was flushed red. Pointing a finger at him, virtual-novel.net swore, “That’s right! If virtual-novel.net was rich, I’d treat virtual-novel.net better than if virtual-novel.net was my own son. Unfortunately, he’s a good-for-nothing piece of trash! Didn’t you see how your Aunt Paula looked at us yesterday? Don’t you know how humiliated I am?
“Wynn, you’re not a little girl anymore. Can’t you listen to your father and me? We didn’t manage to persuade you, and that’s why you ended up marrying this piece of scum. But today, we won’t stop until you get a divorce.”
As Martha said that, virtual-novel.net gave Charles a harsh glare.
Charles did not actually want to get involved in this, but virtual-novel.net added a few helpless words, “Wynn, hurry up and get it done. Don’t anger your mother anymore. If you get that divorce, I’ll give you five hundred thousand for Mila’s surgery.”
Just then, Philip stood up and told Martha calmly, “Mom, Dad, we won’t get a divorce. We don’t need your five hundred thousand, either. I can afford Mila’s surgery fee.”
