She was very happy, which couldn&#8217;t be hidden.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why are you here? And wearing so little?&#8221; Christian went over and held her hand, complaining.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I just finished my checkup. The doctor says the baby is doing great.&#8221; She said in a sweet voice, &#8220;Would you like to feel it?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As Jessica was speaking, she put his hand onto her belly. She was beaming with excitement of becoming a mother.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Her smile was beautiful, while Vivian was bitterly disappointed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She had never thought they would be expecting a child!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If Christian had cared about her a little, he wouldn&#8217;t have done such a thing!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Sister?&#8221; Jessica noticed her, &#8220;Oh, how could I forget that you pretended to be sick and were sent to the hospital. I&#8217;ve come especially to see you&#8230;I just finished my checkup. The doctor says the baby is doing great. Would you like to feel it too?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   To touch her?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She would certainly throw up!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica went to her with a smile and took her hand, trying to put it onto her belly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Looking sullen, Vivian quickly pulled away her hand and said sarcastically, &#8220;No, thanks. Don&#8217;t you hate me the most? Aren&#8217;t you afraid of being hurt?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica instantly threw herself into Christian&#8217;s arms, trembling like a scared innocent deerlet, &#8220;I&#8230;I meant well. I just wanted to share my happiness with my sister.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian held her tightly and gently caressed her hair, &#8220;It&#8217;s not your fault.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He could be gentle like a spring breeze when he was looking fondly at the woman in his arms.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Yet when he looked at Vivian with his deep eyes, she felt icy cold and lifeless.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Sister&#8230;I know you don&#8217;t like me. But I still hope we could have your blessing.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;My blessing? No way! You knew very well he was your brother-in-law when you decided to sleep with him. I am your sister. Have you two ever thought of me?&#8221; Vivian was furious and emotional, trying to get it off her chest.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He looked at her even more coldly, &#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for you, my wife would be Jessica now. You are always a thief, a robber.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His words stabbed her heart like a dagger. She was falling apart.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She regretted having married the man. Given a second chance, she would never have done it!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Christian, don&#8217;t say that about my sister. I believe she loves you as much as I do. It&#8217;s my greatest happiness to have your baby.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian buried her face in her hands. Tears were streaming down through her fingers. She was desperate to get out of here.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Despite her poor health, she jumped out of the bed and rushed out.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jessica suddenly started to fall backwards when Vivian was passing by.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Christian acted quickly. He caught Jessica in time. Even so, he looked very frightened.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Sister, why did you push me?&#8221; Jessica cried, protecting her belly with her hands, &#8220;Even if you couldn&#8217;t forgive me, the baby is innocent.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8230;I didn&#8217;t.&#8221; Vivian froze, trying to explain.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Her words were powerless in front of Jessica&#8217;s convincing tears.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She had been framed. Who would have thought that she had to deal with such a cliche?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It seems I&#8217;ve been too polite to you.&#8221; He approached her and clamped her chin to force her to look up at him. His eyes were burning with anger, &#8220;How dare you do such a thing to my face!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He was a wild beast, ready to pounce and tear her to pieces.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Take her back.
