Chapter 186
At this moment, Martin felt countless urges to strangle Victoria with his bare hands.
How dare she do this to him, how dare she do this to their child! He had given her fifty percent of the Gonzalez Group shares, three hundred million dollars.
And he had deposited one hundred million dollars in advance into Hayden's medical account for treatment.
All these real benefits handed over, and Victoria had promised him over and over that she would fulfill his wish, that she would honor the contract!
He stupidly believed her. Because she wasn't sleeping well, he canceled work to take her on vacation. Even though she was cold and harsh the whole trip, keeping a straight face without even giving him a single smile.
He kept enduring it, kept putting up with it!
But what did he get in the end?
All he got was his child being aborted early!
Martin's fingers around Victoria's neck turned white, veins bulging on his broad palm!
"Victoria, go die! Just die! Damn it, a vicious woman like you deserves to die!" Martin's eyes were bloodshot.
Victoria closed her eyes, her throat nearly crushed.
She thought she had gotten used to his curses.
But every time she heard them, Victoria's heart tore apart in pain.
His words were like a gun, shooting again and again at her already broken heart.
Her heart shattered into pieces, impossible to patch back together.
They were husband and wife! They used to be such a loving couple!
How did they end up hurling such cruel words at each other? How come Martin had nothing to say to her except cursing her to die?
Whether it was the intense pain from near suffocation.
Or her heart bursting from being filled with despair and helplessness, tears streamed from Victoria's tightly closed eyes.
Seeing her cry, Martin's angry expression flickered with a trace of heartache and shock.
Sweet memories from the past suddenly flashed through his mind.
It was during their honeymoon phase. Victoria wrapped around his strong waist, kissing the corner of his lips, acting cute, "Martin, you have to promise me, never make me cry again, and never be mean to me, okay? I'm most afraid of pain. I want us to be happy and loving every day."
Of course he had promised her.
But he never expected he would break his word and things would come to this.
Martin remembered what Victoria had told him:
"Martin, as long as you agree to help the Gonzalez family and take care of my parents in their old age, your wish will come true. I'll make it happen for you."
"Martin, I'll honor the contract!"
"Martin, I like you!"
"Martin, I like you, and I'll always, always like you."
"What if I'm not good to you?"
"That won't happen. I'm confident you'll be good to me for life."
Kisses, intimacy, him eating meals she cooked by hand, her picking out his clothes, carefully tying his tie... countless memories from the past, sweet ones, sad ones, desperate ones, helpless ones, appeared in Martin's mind like old photographs.
Martin's eyes turned bloodshot.
Hot tears welled up from his eyes.
Victoria's face grew paler and paler, her breathing more and more irregular and weak.
Martin suddenly changed his mind.
He couldn't let her off this easy!
He couldn't just let her die like this!
Martin suddenly released her throat.
Victoria lost her balance and knocked against the car window.
She gasped from the pain.
Victoria opened her eyes to see Martin still glaring at her angrily.
"Didn't you say you'd fulfill my wish? Why are you reluctant now?" Victoria sneered.
Was he reluctant to let her die?
Did he still have feelings for her?
Was Martin saying one thing but feeling another, still caring about her?
Various questions flashed through Victoria's mind.
His cold words made her hopeful heart instantly crash to the ground, shattering into pieces!
"I'm keeping you alive just to torture you!" Martin suddenly leaned forward.
His breath suddenly sprayed on her face.
She felt uneasy, uncomfortable.
"What are you doing?" Victoria frowned, pushing back.
This reaction made Martin's frown deepen.
Suddenly the car door was opened without warning.
Before she could react, her back was suspended in air.
Her whole body fell from the back seat onto the ground.
The cement road was hard and rough, tiny pebbles scraping off a layer of skin from Victoria's palm.
The burning pain made her entire hand go numb.
"Victoria, even if you stripped naked right now, I wouldn't touch you!"
"Take care of yourself. I won't let you have it easy! Every single day from now on, you'll spend in despair and regret!" Martin's hateful gaze landed heavily on her.
The car door closed.
Martin drove off.
Victoria hadn't snapped out of her daze.
She hadn't seen that hateful look in Martin's eyes for a long time.
Seeing it now was still shocking.
"Ms. Gonzalez, are you okay?"
Suddenly a strong arm helped her up.
Victoria looked up to see Aaron in casual clothes.
"Mr. Hill, what are you doing here?" Victoria smiled bitterly.
Aaron said his father was sick and he came to the hospital to visit.
Victoria always thought illegitimate sons and their biological fathers couldn't have good relationships.
But Aaron and his biological father weren't like that.
Maybe because his father had no other sons and treated Aaron sincerely, there was no barrier between father and son.
Victoria slowly stood up, her legs numb from squatting.
She almost fell.
Fortunately Aaron caught her in time, "Ms. Gonzalez, careful."
This scene was witnessed by Martin, who had sped back and was sitting in the driver's seat.
Martin gripped the steering wheel, laughing bitterly in anger.
He had been worried Victoria would be alone here and something might happen, so he came back.
But instead he saw this scene!
Did Victoria abort their child because of Aaron?
Not even divorced yet, took the benefits but wouldn't keep her word. Victoria, was Aaron really that good that you're this obsessed with him?
He was such a fool. Only he cared about this marriage, cared about this relationship. Victoria had thrown it all away long ago.
Martin's fist slammed heavily on the steering wheel as he sped away.
He wouldn't be soft-hearted anymore.
Victoria, you forced me to do this. Don't blame me for being cruel.
You've worn away the last bit of feeling and patience I had for you.
Martin took out his phone and called Terry, "Starting now, cut off all medication and treatment for Hayden!"
"But Mr. Collins, Mr. Gonzalez's body is too weak. Doing this could kill him!" Hearing this, Terry was stunned. What did this mean?
Although Terry and Mia were on the same side, he was still shocked and surprised by Martin's rash move.
"He should have died anyway! Anyone who dares give him medication is my enemy!" Martin snorted coldly, hung up, then drove like crazy on the road.
Terry called Mia, "Babe, I have good news for you. Come to my place tonight!"
