How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 22

"What's wrong? You look pale."

"Your hands are freezing."

Eddy burst in with his entourage so suddenly that Blanche froze for a split second.

She didn't want to see that look of tenderness in his eyes, so she averted her gaze, letting it land instead on his neck.

A bright red hickey glared back at her—a mark that stabbed straight into her vision.

Blanche's pupils trembled. Unable to help herself, she shoved him hard. "Whatever's going on with me is none of your business. Get out!"

But Blanche's push was like an egg thrown against a rock—Eddy didn't budge an inch.

He pulled her tightly into his arms, unbothered by her fury. "Honey," he murmured.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I got here late."

Forced into Eddy's embrace, Blanche could only smell the lingering scent of Jeannette's daisy perfume on his clothes. Her eyes grew icy cold.

All his apologies could never make up for the way he'd hurt her.

Blanche said nothing. Eddy, mistaking her silence for acquiescence, turned to Sophie, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Why did my wife faint?"

Blanche glanced at Sophie, her hand curling into a fist at her side.

She wanted to ask—why had Sophie said Eddy might have another child?

But now was not the time.

"Blanche fainted because she got too emotional. Her cycle started early, she lost too much blood, that's all," Sophie replied quietly, her head down. "She just needs some rest and she'll recover."

Eddy was a storm in the business world—a ruthless man who inspired fear in everyone except Blanche.

His gaze swept coldly over Sophie, but when he looked back at Blanche, his voice was gentle, almost tender. "Honey, she's been with you five years, but not only did she fail to help you conceive, your health just keeps getting worse."

"I don't trust her to take care of you anymore."

"Besides, we're about to adopt from the orphanage. You don't need an obstetrician now."

"I've hired a top family doctor to look after you instead."

Without waiting for a response, Eddy scooped Blanche up in his arms. She barely had time to react before he set her down in a wheelchair, then instructed the bodyguards, "Take my wife to the doctor for another check-up."
