From the other end came a trembling female voice. “Stevie, where are you? It’s so dark here, and I’m really scared…”
I could imagine just how pitiful-looking Wendy was at the moment.
Steven’s gaze did not linger on me for even one second. Instead, he hurriedly comforted Wendy over the phone.
“Wendy, don’t be scared. I’m bringing people over to rescue you right away. I promise you’ll be okay.”
His voice was gentle as he comforted the woman he held dearest to his heart, and in the process, completely forgetting that I—his pregnant wife—was still trapped under the rubble right in front of him.
Reuben could not stand it anymore. He reminded Steven of this, and my husband finally spared me a glance.
I met his cold gaze and saw his brows furrow in annoyance.
“I’ve already told you to not run around when you’re pregnant, and yet you had to come all the way to Jorlina to see me. And now you’re trapped here because of this earthquake. Are you happy now?” he said, his voice dripping with disdain.
“There are so many people trapped, yet we need to waste resources to save you!”
I could feel my heart breaking as I heard those words once again.
When I was faced with these exact accusations in my previous life, I hurriedly explained that the hospital had sent me to Jorlina to attend a seminar.
However, he firmly believed that I only came to fight for his attention—and to bother him.
This time, I did not wish to explain myself, nor did I feel like saying anything else to him.
