Antonio then told me, “Jessie’s afraid of the dark. The guest room gets no sunlight all day. I’ll have her stay in your bedroom for the time being.”
I just nodded dully.
After I got pregnant, Antonio said he didn’t want to disturb my sleep, so he decorated a soundproof bedroom for my unborn baby and me.
Now, he actually made me give up my bedroom.
Before I even agreed, he’d filled the room with Jessie’s stuff.
The baby’s crib, toys, and my bed were all thrown out.
It was just a bedroom. Anyway, my life was under Jessie’s control.
Jessie looked at me proudly.
She hugged Antonio’s arm, shook it, and said sweetly, “Is that okay? I just got here, and I’m taking Grace and the baby’s room.
“I can make do with it. It’s okay if the room is dark, but I don’t want to make Grace mad.”
Antonio soothed her softly, “Grace won’t mind it. Besides, this is my house, so I have the final say.”
Jessie pursed her red lips and leaned her head lovingly on his

shoulder as she said, “Antonio, you’re always so thoughtful.”
I watched them being affectionate. It really hurt. I wheeled myself towards the guest room.
Antonio then remembered I was there and nervously explained, “Jessie is younger than you. She grew up with me. She’s like a sister. You should be more understanding.”
What he said sounded like a joke
Jessie had paralyzed me and killed the fetus in my body.
Yet Antonio actually expected me to be nice to the culprit.
Did I have no pride in Antonio’s eyes?
Jessie moved closer to me and pretended to help push my wheelchair. “Grace, let me help you.”
I was startled and subconsciously reached out.
But she let out a cry and fell to the ground.
Antonio kicked my wheelchair over and anxiously held Jessie in his arms.
“Grace, you’ve gone too far!”
Then Antonio said to the servants, “Don’t help her. Let her get up by herself.”
He picked up Jessie and left while my body was pinned under the wheelchair, and I couldn’t move.
After receiving Antonio’s order, the servants didn’t offer me any

And they even mocked me. “I really don’t know why Mr. Kaufman married her. Ms. Weber is a better match for him. How dare a disabled person not leave?”
“She thinks she is somebody just because she’s got a brat in her belly. How dare she hurt Ms. Weber. I bet Mr. Kaufman wants to get rid of her!”
“Look at her like a turtle flipped on its back!”
Shame and anger flushed my face, yet I could only lower my head feebly.
Early the next morning, Jessie barged into my room without knocking.
She looked down on me with contempt in her eyes.
Yet she said, “Grace, it’s a sunny day. I’ll push you to the greenhouse for a stroll.
“You can’t always lie on the bed. It’s good to get some sun.‘
She kept saying she cared about me, but she was likely the one who wished my leg injury would get even worse!
After all, the worse my injury, the more valid her drug experiments would be.
She didn’t even give me a chance to say no. She just lifted my weak body into a wheelchair.
After she pushed me into the greenhouse, she put me in my wheelchair in a remote, tucked–away corner.

The flowers blocked my view, and I could only glimpse the outside world through the leaves
Later, Antonio walked into the greenhouse, and Jessie hugged him.
“Antonio, you’ve done so much for me. I’m so touched.
“I got flower petal juice on me. Can you help me wipe it off?”
Then Jessie took off her silk nightgown and put Antonio’s hand on her fair chest.
