Chapter 1411
How ridiculous.
Yulia laughed self-deprecatingly as she put away the compact mirror, ready to leave the hospital.
A familiar figure rushed past her.
With one glance, Yulia stopped in her tracks.
Because that person was not just anyone but Vera, who had decided to come for a check-up due to the nightmare she had last night.
Seeing Vera there in such a hurry, Yulia was suspicious. Why was she there at that time? What was more, she was alone.
Vera was her rival in love, so Yulia paid special attention to her. Carrying her bag, Yulia followed behind her silently.
Yulia then saw Vera going into the OBGYN department. Her suspicion grew stronger.
Vera was not married yet, so why would she go there? And why was she in such a hurry? Could it be...
A thought flashed through her mind, shocking Yulia. Her eyes went wide, and she stood there, frozen.
Vera was still unwedded. The only reason for her to go to a gynecologist then must be because she was pregnant.
Yulia's face was drained of color. She stared at Vera's silhouette, her scalp tingling. All the jealousy, reluctance, anger, and resentment buried deep in her heart grew like a rapidly spreading wildfire, nearly scorching all her emotions and rationality to a crisp in a mere second.
How could that be?!
Why was life so unfair to her?! Why?
Yulia still stood rooted to the spot with a raging fire in her heart. If there was a mirror in front of her, she could see how ferocious her usually calm face had become at that moment!
She had known Quill much longer than anyone else. But why had everything changed after she left for a few years? She lost her family, her parents, even the man she loved did not feel the same for her. How could she go on living? Why, why?
Yulia felt as though she had lost all control of her body and mind. Trembling, she walked toward Vera step by step.
Vera was pregnant, and their wedding was already on the way. There was no longer any room for Yulia in the picture. But why? She was head over heels in love with Quill. She strived to become an outstanding woman and even rejected a lot of suitors for him.
She used to have hordes of suitors, but they were all incomparable to Quill. Therefore, Yulia resolutely rejected them. She clung on firmly to the belief that Quill would be moved by her perseverance one day.
However, who would've thought everything had changed.
Quill was not cold-hearted. He just didn't love her.
Vera went through the check-up and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was told that the baby was doing fine. However, she was still a little worried. She asked the doctor again, "But I almost fell yesterday and had nightmares at night. Why is my stomach hurting? Do I need to pay extra attention?"
The doctor propped his glasses up and said solemnly, "Miss Zais, everything is normal with your baby. At present, You're perfectly fine. What you described is probably caused by your anxiety and stress. You'd better relax. You should read more about babies and listen to soothing music. Don't overthink it."
Only then did Vera nod and say, "Thank you."
In short, everything was normal. Hence, she took the medical report home.
After Vera left, Yulia shuffled out from a corner and looked in the direction Vera left. Her depression shrouded her like a pervasive black mist. Sure enough, Vera was pregnant. Who would have known that she would be that lucky?
Yulia knew that she should not compare the two of them, but their difference was absolutely tragic.
Because Yulia had learned her
antecedent and experiences were
far superior to Vera's. She could play
elne
the piano, speak four languages, dance, knew how to operate a business, and have many more skillsets under her belt. Yet why was
she incomparable to a was
who
knew nothing?
She really didn't know what she lacked in comparison to Vera.
Yulia's jealousy grew as she pondered on it. She didn't even remember how she left the hospital but only knew that the sky outside was dark when she left, and there were signs of rain.
Yulia took out her phone, wanting to call someone to vent.
However, she couldn't find anyone suitable on her contacts list.
Her parents, who really loved and spoiled her, were no longer around. As for Quill, he would not even bother to listen.
"Yulia, you really are a failure. You thought you lived a refined life, you thought you were a princess, but in the end, what did you get?
Nothing. Not even money. You even need help from others when reinstating the Maxwell family. You even needed to rely on welfare payments. What right do you have to fight for a man?" Yulia thought.
A rumbling sound broke out.
Suddenly, it began raining. The
pedestrians ran under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. Some people opened their umbrellas immediately. Soon, Yulia was the
only one left on the sidew
Raindrops fell on her head, drop by drop, sliding down onto her face.
The thunder was loud, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the street was filled with pedestrians seeking shelter. Yulia was almost unable to open her eyes because of the heavy rain, her vision blurry. Where on earth... did she belong?
Her tears had long mixed with the rain as they both tricked down her face. Yulia struggled to step forward. After god-knows-how-long, an umbrella suddenly covered her head.
Taken aback, she froze on the spot.
Who would've thought there'd be someone to shelter her from the rain at this time.
Yulia raised her head limply and saw a pair of worried eyes.
"Don't walk anymore. The rain is too heavy. Let me send you home."
Only then did Yulia realize the man before her eyes was Jasper Holt. The man who had wooed for many years. But wasn't he abroad? Why was he here? Moreover, how did he know where she was?Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
At that, Yulia widened her eyes, "You were stalking me?!"
She forcefully pushed him away and knocked the umbrella out of his hand, "Get lost, you stalker!"
Jasper swiftly stepped forward and picked up the umbrella, placing it above her head again. He grabbed onto her hand and said, "Stop messing around. You have a weak body. You'll fall sick standing in the rain!"
"It's none of your business!" Yulia roared at him. "You have no right to tell me what to do. Don't assume I'll fall for you by treating me well at a time like this. Jasper, what makes you think I'd fall for your affectionate disguise? Do you think I don't know
how
هم
many women you've had? You don't respect women at aff. You change girlfriends like you change socks. Even if I'm down and out, I won't stoop to someone like you!"
Hearing that, Jasper smiled helplessly. He clasped Yulia's hand tightly as he raised his eyebrows and said. "So, that's why you kept chasing after a
man who never cared about you?"
Yulia bit her lower lip as she looked at him, her face pale. "Shut up."
