Chapter 452 - 359: Ye Xu Alliance
Melody Yoody didn’t let Gina Lopez drive. Gina’s condition was truly terrible at the moment, so Melody took the initiative to drive instead. While driving, Melody occasionally glanced at Gina, who had been staring out the window the entire time, seemingly without the slightest movement.
Melody pulled the car over to the side of the road, sighed softly, and said, "Gina."
Gina seemed completely unaware, still staring blankly out the window.
Melody reached out and gently nudged Gina, who shuddered slightly before turning her head. At first, she seemed a bit bewildered, but then forced a smile and said, "What is it?"
Melody apologized and said, "Gina, I’m really sorry. I meant to help you, but instead, I’ve just added salt to your wound."
Gina took a deep breath, her gaze losing some of its dullness, and said, "Melody, this isn’t your fault. It’s my own doing. My marriage with James was never built on a foundation of love. James was practically forced to marry me. The ones who are truly hurt in this situation are you and him."
"But now you and James are already married, and we..."
"It’s okay, I’ve already thought it through. What I’ve done is unfair to James. He wasn’t ready for marriage, yet I forced him to become my husband. This bitter fruit is my own creation, so I must be the one to eat it."
"Gina, you shouldn’t think that way. If James didn’t care about you, he would’ve left you as soon as he found out I was pregnant. But he didn’t—he chose to stay, which shows he truly cares about you."
"Wait... He knows the baby you’re carrying is his?" Gina suddenly raised her voice in alarm.
"Of course. That bastard made me pregnant and then ran off to marry you. At the time, I wanted to chop him into pieces to vent my anger. But every time I saw him, I couldn’t stay mad. After all, this child came unexpectedly when neither of us was prepared—how could I completely blame him?"
