Part 3My Fiancée Got Pregnant From “Swimming”

Jared's cry of pain suddenly grew louder, interrupting me.

Chloe's eyes looked like they were about to spew fire.

"Alex, are you deliberately jealous because of this child, using it as an excuse to hit Jared?!"

"It seems the lesson wasn't enough. You're still being unreasonable!"

My heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand, making it hard to breathe.

Whatever I said, she wouldn't believe me.

I stopped trying to explain, resignedly closed my eyes, and waited for Chloe's verdict.

She sneered.

"If you lost something, then it's your own fault for not looking after it, not anyone else's."

"You won't be needing those eyes anymore."

She had bodyguards bring two buckets of chili water.

They forced my eyelids open and splashed the chili water onto my face.

Overwhelming pain consumed me.

I knelt on the ground, crying out in agony.

My eyes felt like they were burning, making my temples throb.

I begged desperately, screaming for help.

But the second bucket of chili water was still poured over me.

Before I lost consciousness, I heard one of the bodyguards speak with reluctance.

"Miss, isn't this enough? If this continues, his eyes might not be saved..."

Chloe let out a relieved breath.

"That's enough. Take him to the hospital."

When I woke up again, my eyes had been rinsed with saline solution by the doctor.

The doctor warned.

"Your eyes are in a dangerous state. Don't let them get injured again during this period."

My eyes were bloodshot, and even a slight blink caused pain.

I endured the pain and called Mark.

"Mark, I can't take it anymore... Can you pick me up early?"

He paused.

"What happened?"

"Okay, I'll send my assistant to pick you up right away."

The hospital room door suddenly opened.

Chloe walked in, holding a peeled apple, and eyed my phone suspiciously.

"Who were you talking to?"

I put my phone away.

"No one important."

She didn't press further, just told me to eat the apple.

"Jared peeled it specially for you. Eat it."

"After you finish, do him a favor."

My face went pale.

"No. Please leave. I need to rest."

But Chloe yanked me up.

"Jared rarely asks for your help. Don't be ungrateful."

She had someone tie me up and put me in a car.

Half an hour later, Chloe dragged me into a private room.

"Jared signed a betting agreement with someone. He can't drink, so you'll take the punishment if he loses."

My eyes widened. I felt my insides churning with anger.

"Chloe! I don't owe you anything! I said I wouldn't help!"

"We're already broken up!"
