Chapter 50 Deeply Calculating
Across the street was the Imiac Restaurant, from which two people were emerging – Oswald and Lelia.
My face felt as if it had been slapped, slightly hot. I chuckled, feeling the twitch at the corner of my mouth. I looked straight at Raymon, “How embarrassing!”
He looked at me, his eyes deep, and after a moment, he finally spoke, “Not worth a laugh!”
I was desperately trying to control my inner embarrassment. I had assumed that Oswald had gone to dine with the client along with Orlando. It seems I thought too much, only Orlando was accompanying the client.
The atmosphere was noticeably gloomy. Thankfully, the waiter came to deliver the drinks. He extended his long, fair hand to take the fresh fruit juice, pushing it in front of me, his eyes scrutinizing me.
After a long while, he asked faintly, “Do you care?”
I chuckled, his question left me at a loss for words.
If I were to say, “I don’t care!” But that’s my husband. Seeing my own husband being intimate with another woman, and not caring? That would be a lie, dishonesty! Or else, there must be something wrong with me.
But if the answer is, do I care? But it’s already an irreversible fact, even if I care, I can’t change this situation. I feel like a failure! And it’s
embarrassing!
Í found that every time I was at my most embarrassing, this man would
see it.

I didn’t know whether he was my nemesis or my benefactor.

I took a sip of juice and suddenly felt a slight pain in my right lower rib.
“I want to explain something to you!” I said, abruptly turning to Raymon, ignoring the question at hand.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at me with a hint of confusion, waiting for me to continue.
“That night by the river, I wasn’t trying to commit suicide!” I didn’t know why I was explaining this to him. To me, Raymon was really just a stranger. I thought, perhaps it was my pride playing tricks.
“I just felt that what I saw after I returned home that night was too filthy. I even felt as if I had been contaminated. Therefore, I wanted the river to wash away my shame, to extinguish the rage in my heart… That’s all!”
He looked at me intently, as if savoring my words. I chuckled and continued, “The woman you saw with him earlier, she’s his sister!”
His gaze at me didn’t change at all, which was quite surprising to me. I suddenly felt like a Xianglin’s Wife, very pitiful.
After all, Raymon was a man who had nothing to do with me. Moreover, Prosper Materials was currently hoping to take the project from others. My actions were quite unwise. I was too foolish.
The pain under my ribs intensified a bit. I reached out and pressed it, it had been a long time since I felt this way. My palms were slightly sweaty.
“Are you not feeling well?” He noticed my slight movement, his eyes fixated on my hand pressing against my ribs.
“Oh… no, it’s just my old problem! I’m fine!” I took my hand away and quickly changed the subject, “Why did you go to the river that night?”
I didn’t have the nerve to ask him directly, how could it be such a

coincidence that he saw me ‘jump‘ into the river? A coincidence? I couldn’t believe that he would go to the river in the middle of the night!
“Your luggage was left on the car,” he said nonchalantly.
But I could fill in the rest of the story. He must have seen me running out, and under such circumstances, he had no way to stop me and return my luggage. So he must have followed me to the river and just happened to save me in the end.
This man was deeply cunning.
I gave him a grin, the pain in my ribs making me a bit unsettled. My forehead was slightly cool. I persisted, “Thank you… you! I’m not feeling well, so I’ll… take my leave now!”
The sudden intensification of pain blurred my vision. I wanted to get up and leave quickly, but I was no longer able to control my movements. I groaned softly.
In a daze, I felt a strong arm steadying my body, my hand was gripped in a large one, my ears were ringing with pain, I couldn’t hear the sound next to my ear clearly, “… …uh, it hurts…
་་
I clung to that large hand as if it were a life–saving straw, the intense pain causing my vision to darken and I lost consciousness.
