Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1148: I’m Sorry

Birth control pills!

These three words fiercely broke into Dianna Hollis’s vision.

Mort Thorne had good eyesight; he naturally also saw these three words. His dark eyes instantly sank, plunging into a thousand-foot deep icy abyss.

"Cain Shaw, what’s this?" Dianna Hollis looked up, her gaze directly meeting Mort Thorne’s.

Mort Thorne didn’t want her to know about this, but he couldn’t hide it now. He clenched his fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"Mort, I... I didn’t mean to, this little medicine bottle somehow just fell out on its own..."

"Miss Hollis, don’t press Mort anymore. Yes, I have been... physically intimate with Mort. I’m afraid of getting pregnant, so I secretly took birth control pills."

"But Miss Hollis, don’t misunderstand, Mort doesn’t feel the way you think; Mort likes you. I don’t ask for anything, just to stay by Mort’s side and take care of him. Please don’t drive me away..."

Kate Lee babbled away, appearing to be meek and accommodating, but actually adding fuel to the fire.

Dianna Hollis’s bright eyes already glistened with tiny fragments of ice. She had said long ago she couldn’t tolerate betrayal—neither spiritual nor physical—it all disgusted her.

"Cain Shaw, I don’t want to listen to her now. Whatever she says, I don’t believe. Now, I just want to hear you say it—what’s the deal with these birth control pills? Did you really sleep with Kate Lee or not?"

Dianna Hollis couldn’t accept this; this was an absolute thunderbolt out of the blue to her. She wouldn’t believe anyone’s words, only Cain Shaw’s.

She needed Cain Shaw to say one word!

Mort Thorne pressed his thin lips into a chilly, cold curve, even his eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot veins. He remained silent.

Dianna Hollis rushed forward, reaching out to grab his sleeve, "Why won’t you speak, Cain Shaw? Just tell me you didn’t, and I’ll believe it. Why don’t you talk? Does your silence mean you’re admitting it?"

Seeing Dianna Hollis’s red eyes, Mort Thorne’s voice was low and hoarse, "Dianna Hollis, I’m sorry, I failed you."

Dianna Hollis felt like a pair of hands reached out in the darkness and directly pushed her into the abyss. He said sorry, he said he failed her—so he really did sleep with Kate Lee.

Dianna Hollis shook her head, continuously shaking her head, "No, I don’t believe it. You shouldn’t be that kind of person!"

"We’ve only been apart for such a short time, and you’re with Kate Lee already. Then what am I? Where do I stand?"

"Cain Shaw, I ask you, when did you sleep with Kate Lee? Was it before us or after?"

That night she had just been with him, how could he have been with Kate Lee? She had to clarify this; she still didn’t believe it; it couldn’t be like this!

Mort Thorne didn’t say anything; he was at a loss for words about that night.

Dianna Hollis waited and waited, but didn’t get a single word from him.

He was unwilling to say anything.

About his intimate matters with Kate Lee, he wouldn’t say a word to her.

Dianna Hollis was disappointed. Great disappointment enveloped and consumed her. Since arriving at Miaojiang, his attitude had been like this: distant, rejecting, pushing away. Now he and Kate Lee had happened, and he didn’t offer a single word of explanation.

Compared to the matter itself, his current attitude truly chilled her heart.

"Cain Shaw, I hate you, I will never forgive you!" Dianna Hollis threw the small notebook in her hand forcibly at Mort Thorne, then turned and ran out.

Dianna Hollis left.

Kate Lee’s eyes revealed triumph; she fought this mental battle. Although that night was Dianna Hollis, she knew Mort Thorne well. He would absolutely not mention that night—it’s his dignity as a man.

But this is precisely what a girl cares about the most. He had thoroughly hurt Dianna Hollis’s feelings.

Kate Lee quickly hid the triumph in her eyes, pitifully looking at Mort Thorne, "Mort, Miss Hollis ran away; what should we do? I think Miss Hollis certainly misunderstood. Let me go and explain to her— that night, because of your addiction..."

Before Kate Lee finished speaking, Mort Thorne already interrupted her, "Get out!"

Kate Lee froze, "..."

Mort Thorne lifted his gaze to look at her, his eyes were cold without a trace of warmth, "Wasn’t the little medicine bottle just now deliberately dropped by you?"

What?

Kate Lee turned pale.

Mort Thorne faintly curled his thin lips, "Don’t play minor tricks in front of me; I saw it clearly before. Perhaps I didn’t understand your plotting and calculations, but you’ve exposed yourself just now. Your considerate appearance now seems so hypocritical it’s nauseating."

Kate Lee was stupefied, her hands and feet cold; she planned everything, thinking she’d won. She never imagined she’d expose herself.

Indeed, she overlooked a fatal issue: she underestimated Mort Thorne.

Mort Thorne was inherently domineering and strong, very masculine. Growing up together, maybe he couldn’t see through her as a flourishing white lotus green tea flower.

But his eyes were keen. Just now, under his nose, she deliberately dropped the little medicine bottle while moving her hand. She defeated Dianna Hollis but also successfully ruined herself.

This minor action made Mort Thorne see her clearly.

Kate Lee was panicked, wanting to explain immediately, "Mort, I... I just like you; I really like you..."

"Pack up; I’ll have Charles Bishop send you away. I can’t bear your kind of affection; you’re not suited to be around me. Moreover, you’re still under assessment; someone like you can’t pass and officially join the army. You better take care of yourself." With that, Mort Thorne directly pushed Kate Lee out and closed the door.

Shut out, Kate Lee, "..."

Finished.

She’s finished.

Not only has Mort Thorne seen through her true colors, but he implied he would report to the superiors, preventing her from formally enlisting.

She couldn’t even officially be called a military doctor since she was still under assessment.

It’s all over.

...

Dianna Hollis returned to her room; she started packing. No need to wait for tomorrow; she’s leaving now.

He clearly did wrong, but not a word was spoken.

He should explain, but he remained silent, with a bland and dismissive attitude.

They say the one who falls in love first will inevitably lose; she’s always been the one chasing after him. He hasn’t even said he liked her once, so he finds her bothersome, seeking novelty with Kate Lee.

Dianna Hollis’s pale eyes were covered with a layer of shining light; she quickly lifted her gaze, forcing back the tears in her eyes.

She wouldn’t shed tears for that damned man again, just take it as a misjudgment.

But...

Why does her heart still ache so much?

The long eyelashes fluttered a few times, but inside, the glistening tears still couldn’t be controlled from falling.

No.

She wouldn’t leave so dejectedly; even if she goes, she’ll fiercely teach those two damned people a lesson!

Dianna Hollis rose and directly headed out.

But then, she suddenly smelled an unusual fragrance, and her vision went dark as she immediately fainted.
