Chapter 3 For a moment , I composed myself and took a taxi to Jarviss hospital .
I needed to see what Gianna was making such a fuss about .
Relying on my memory , I found the room where Giannas mother was staying .
I had been here once before when I brought Jarvis lunch .
As I approached the door and was about to push it open , I glanced through the small window in the door to see what was going on inside .
There , on the bed , lay a pale woman , looking sickly , but her expression was one of uncontainable excitement .
1/9 Chapter 3 I + 5 Points Standing beside the bed were Gianna and Jarvis .
The first thing I noticed was their hands , intertwined .
Jarvis had a serious expression , while Gianna looked shy , almost like a daughter being entrusted to her future husband .
I couldnt help but think back to when I had asked him to visit my parents .
At that time , he had made every excuse he was too busy at the hospital , no time .
So , even after three years of marriage , he had only met my parents at our wedding .
In comparison , Giannas mother seemed more like his true mother in law .
A sharp pain stabbed at my stomach .
2/9 Chapter 3 + 5 Points My stomach had always been weak , and today , the events had stirred up so much emotion that I was now suffering from a stomach ache .
I hadnt stood there long when Jarvis , with his sharp instincts , noticed me .
His face changed , and after exchanging a few words with the others , he walked out .
He closed the door behind him and pulled me away from the room .
On the small balcony , Jarvis glared at me .
Why arent you at work ? What are you doing here ? The pain in my stomach intensified , and I instinctively placed a hand over it to ease the discomfort .
3/9 Chapter 3 + 5 Points I forced myself to look at him , my face set with stubborn defiance .
I shouldnt have come , should I ? Disturbing you and Giannas little world .
What nonsense are you talking about ?! Didnt I explain everything clearly yesterday ? Is that all there is between a man and a woman in your eyes ? He unintentionally raised his voice , accusing me .
At that moment , Gianna appeared from behind and rushed in front of me .
She took my hand , her voice trembling with guilt .
Ellie , really , theres nothing between Jar and me .
Its all my fault .
I made you 4/9 Chapter 3 a w dres + 5 Points misunderstand , its all my fault … She choked on her words , tears welling in her eyes .
I didnt believe a single word she said .
In fact , the first person to notice me in the room wasnt Jarvis it was her .
The look she gave me was full of defiance .
I watched her put on her little performance , indifferent , and ruthlessly pulled my hand out of her grasp .
As soon as I shook off Giannas hand , her tears fell , but to Jarvis , that was enough to break his heart .
He immediately wrapped his arms around her , comforting her .
Meanwhile , here I was , the rightful wife , being scolded .
5/9 Chapter 3 What are you doing ? Gia is trying to explain , and this is how you respond ? The pain in my stomach made me double over , cold sweat beading on my forehead .
With a fragile voice , I whispered , Jar , my stomach hurts … Jarvis furrowed his brow , glaring at me .
Stop playing the victim ! Apologize to Gia now ! Our little scene was causing quite a stir , and soon , Jarviss colleagues two doctors , a man and a woman came over to see what was happening .
They walked up to Jarvis , glancing at the situation , and asked , Whos this ? Without thinking , Jarvis blurted out , 6/9 Chapter 3 + 5 Points Ex girlfriend .
He looked at me , panicked , as if afraid I would expose him .
Just as he hoped , I stayed silent .
I couldnt bring myself to speak .
Everything went blurry , and my legs buckled beneath me .
I was about to collapse when Jarvis stepped forward , ready to catch me .
But then , without warning , Gianna slumped to the ground , as if on cue .
Jarvis , quick as ever , rushed to catch her .
As for me , I crashed hard to the floor .
I stared at their intimate display , a bitter laugh escaping me .
7/9 Chapter 3 * 5 Points Why couldnt I just accept that in his eyes , I would never measure up to Gianna ? Eventually , one of the doctors nearby helped me to a bench .
A nurse gave me some medication , and soon , the pain eased .
As I left , I saw a message from Jarvis on my phone : You rest there .
