Wedding Night: My Disabled Husband Made Me Cry-Chapter 80: Jett Sterling Awakens

The hospital.

Wendy Reeves arrived in a hurry, her whole body trembling as she stared at the closed doors of the emergency room.

SLAP!

A heavy slap struck Vivian Quinn across the face, whipping her head to the side.

"Vivian Quinn, what in the world does the Sterling Family owe you that makes you torture us like this!" Wendy Reeves was trembling with rage. "You have no self-respect! You hid the fact that you’d been pregnant before, causing Jett to be publicly humiliated. And now you’ve put him in the emergency room! Won’t you be satisfied until you’ve killed him?"

Vivian Quinn’s frigid body swayed, on the verge of collapsing. She had to brace herself against the wall just to stay upright.

Her back against the wall, her legs gave out completely, and she slid down to sit on the floor.

"Young Madam!" Easton Rivers rushed forward to help her up.

"How dare you still call her ’Young Madam’? What kind of ’Young Madam’ is she!" Wendy Reeves burst into tears. "Vivian Quinn, I’m telling you, if anything happens to Jett today, I won’t go on living! But before that, I’ll make sure you die with him!"

Vivian Quinn curled up on the floor, hugging her legs tightly and burying her face in her knees, not saying a word.

Wendy Reeves, drained of the energy to curse any further, sat down on a nearby chair and waited anxiously.

Several hours later, the doors to the emergency room finally opened!

Wendy Reeves shot up and rushed forward. "Doctor, how is my son?"

Vivian Quinn also scrambled up from the floor, her unsteady steps carrying her forward with difficulty.

"We saved his life, but his injuries are serious. He’ll need a long time to recover."

Wendy Reeves cried with relief. "Thank heavens, thank God!"

The breath Vivian Quinn had been holding finally escaped her. Her vision went black, and she lost consciousness...

...

When Vivian Quinn awoke, the sky was already bright.

"Oh, you’re awake?" a nurse who was changing her IV drip said. "You had a high fever. You’ve been unconscious for a full day."

Vivian Quinn’s lips moved, her voice dry and hoarse. "How is... Mr. Sterling, the one from the car accident?"

"He’s been moved to a regular room, but he hasn’t woken up yet."

"Thank you."

"Wait here, I’ll go inform the family."

A moment later, Nanny Jenner came in carrying a thermal container. "Young Madam, I’ve made you some porridge. Please have something to eat."

Vivian Quinn looked like she wanted to say something but held back, quietly taking the bowl and eating the porridge.

"Young Madam, even if the sky is falling, you have to take care of your health. You must eat a few more bites. You can’t let yourself collapse," Nanny Jenner advised from the side.

Vivian Quinn lowered her gaze and said softly, "Don’t you know what happened last night?"

"I do," Nanny Jenner said. "The Young Master gave an order. He said that no matter what, whether he’s here or not, we servants must take good care of you. We can’t let what happened last time, with you being bullied by the maids, ever happen again."

Tears instantly welled up in Vivian Quinn’s eyes and dripped into the bowl in front of her.

Nanny Jenner took a tissue and wiped her tears. "Young Madam, I don’t have many other skills, but I’ve lived for over fifty years, and I’d like to think I’m a good judge of character. I know you’re a kind girl. This whole thing can’t be so simple. There must be some misunderstanding, right?"

"There’s no misunderstanding." Vivian Quinn cried silently. "It’s true that I’ve been pregnant and given birth before. This was aimed at me. I’m the one who caused the Sterling Family to be humiliated in public, and even more, I dragged Jett Sterling into it. I’ve let him down..."

...

Late that night, Jett Sterling, who had been in a coma, finally, slowly opened his eyes.

"Son, you’re awake?" Wendy Reeves’s tears flowed uncontrollably. "You scared your mother to death, do you know that?"

Jett Sterling glanced around, his voice weak. "Where’s Vivian?"

Wendy Reeves froze, then said with displeasure, "Are you out of your mind? How can you still be thinking about that woman at a time like this? Do you have any idea she nearly got you killed?"

"Where is Vivian!" Jett Sterling asked stubbornly. "Where is she!"

"She left," Wendy Reeves said with a cold expression. "She didn’t even come to see you once. She just left! Jett, I gave her a chance, but this proves she’s not worthy of being your wife. Whether it’s for humiliating you or for getting you hurt, I’m not done with her!"

Jett Sterling closed his eyes and raised his voice, "Easton Rivers! Easton Rivers!"

Easton Rivers quickly opened the door and entered. "Master Sterling."

"Go find Vivian. Go now!"

Easton Rivers looked troubled as he handed over the document in his hand. "Master Sterling, these are divorce papers. The Young Madam asked me to give them to you. She said her mind is made up and asks for your approval."

Jett Sterling froze.

Wendy Reeves snorted coldly. "At least she knows her place!"

Jett Sterling slowly closed his eyes. "Get out. All of you, get out!"

"Jett, you..."

"Get out!"

...

Rain drizzled outside the window. Vivian Quinn lay in her rented apartment, sleepless all night.

She didn’t pick up her phone to make a call until dawn.

"Vivian, why are you only calling now?" Rachel Quinn answered with a laugh. "I thought you’d come and question me in person..."

"Speaking of which, you got off easy last night. Originally, I was planning to find a man and a child to show up and claim you as family. That would have been more exciting. But Sycamore Bay is too heavily guarded; there was no way to sneak them in. Luckily, the photo of you with a big belly was shocking enough. Now, all of Aethelgard’s high society knows that the great Master Sterling was cuckolded and left holding the bag. You must have been kicked out by the Sterling Family, right?"

"You never planned to keep this a secret, did you?" Vivian Quinn said coldly. "You were stringing me along the whole time. Besides torturing me, you were just looking for the right moment to expose this to the world!"

"Aren’t you clever. But you can’t blame me entirely. After all, even I didn’t expect the Sterling Family to invite outsiders to Ian Sterling’s birthday party, much less that Jett Sterling would announce your marriage in public. Isn’t it like even the heavens are helping me? Vivian, just accept your fate. I’ve already cast you into Hell. Just stay there obediently and feel what it’s like to be in so much pain you’d rather be dead..."

Vivian Quinn gritted her teeth. "I’ll ask you one more time: Who was that man, and where is the child!"

"Honestly, even I don’t know who the man was. As for the child..." Rachel Quinn’s smile grew even more smug. "It was an ill-begotten thing, after all. It was never meant to come into this world, so it was stillborn."

Vivian Quinn’s fingertips trembled. She squeezed her eyes shut in anguish, her entire body shaking uncontrollably!

"Vivian, don’t be sad. Isn’t it better that it’s dead? It saves you from dragging around that extra baggage, which would only make your life harder."

Vivian Quinn slowly opened her eyes and let out a cold laugh. "Rachel Quinn, don’t you worry. Even if I’ve gone to Hell, I’ll make sure to drag you down with me."

"Did you really think that while you were forcing me to get a divorce these past few days, all I was doing was focusing on the divorce? Did it never occur to you that I was also looking for a chance to strike back?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Rachel Quinn faltered for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. "You’re the Sterling Family’s cast-off wife now. What kind of waves could you possibly make!"

"You’ll find out soon enough whether I can make waves or not." Vivian Quinn’s fingertip slid across her laptop’s trackpad and pressed the send key. "Rachel Quinn, you forced my hand. Now, neither of us gets to have an easy time!"
