Chapter 73 - Divorce (1/2)

When Lei Zhao woke up the next morning, he had a terrible headache. Groaning he rubbed his temples and hunched his brows together as he got down from the bed. He really regrets drinking last night.

”Lei Zhao?” Yan Mei called him as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. She remembers that Lei Zhao had brought her to the room last night.

”I didn't mean to wake you up,” He said hoarsely. From his voice, Yan Mei could see he was having a hangover.

”Are you okay?” She asked knowing very well that he wasn't.

Lei Zhao's lips curved into a small smile.

”Yeah, I'm good. I'm just going to prepare you breakfast since you've to go to work today.” He said sounding tired.

Yan Mei bit her lips, ”I'm sorry about yesterday.” She mumbled.

Lei Zhao shook his head and squeezed between his brows.

”No, I should be the one apologizing. It's was immature of me to come home late and drunk. We should've just talked about it like mature a.d.u.l.ts. I know you don't want to tell me what's wrong but I hope you can tell me when you're ready to talk about it.”

Yan Mei's stomach churned with guilt and apprehension. 'God, why was he so understanding?'

”I'm just going to wash my face and prepare you, breakfast, okay?”

Yan Mei swallowed the lump in her throat, ”Lei Zhao wait.”

She croaked out. Lei Zhao turned to look at her and saw her sitting up and staring at her legs.

”What's wrong?” Lei Zhao asked with concern laced in his voice. He walked over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.

”Are you alright?”

Yan Mei shook her head slowly and raised her head up, darting her eyes across the room.

Lei Zhao sighed and pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly.

Yan Mei closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she remembered the scars and memories of her past. She knew he needed to know the truth.

”I'm sorry Lei Zhao; I shouldn't have hidden the truth from you.”

”Truth?”

”I-you remember I told you, I got hit by a car and lost my baby?” She croaked out as she blinked away the tears that were threatening to fall.

Lei Zhao released her from his arms and raised her chin so they could be at eye level.

”Yes, I remember.”

Yan Mei bit her lips and played with her fingers nervously.

”I didn't tell you everything.”

Lei Zhao raised his brows when he heard her.

”I didn't just lose my baby that night I lost the possibility of being a complete woman.”

Taking a deep breath, she continued.

”I'm sorry Lei Zhao, but the possibility of me being a mother is really low. When I woke up from my coma, I realized that I had lost my child and the ability to ever be a mother. I was devastated. I couldn't believe it. I felt like nothing, just a mere empty shell of a woman. In the blink of the eye; my life had become something I never thought it would be. ” She fidgeted as she said.

”When I woke up in the hospital after the car hit; I realized I had been in a coma for three months. Fortunately , someone had taken pity on me laying on the road and brought me to the hospital but the damage was ready done. My father tried to find doctors to help me but I refused the treatments. I didn't want to get my hopes up high again.”

Lei Zhao kissed the top of her to comfort her. Neither of them said a word for a couple of minutes. Yan Mei felt safe with him that she didn't want to let go of him.

”I know, Wifey. I found out a couple of days ago.”
