Chapter 2My Cheating Husband Thinks I'm Blind

The man who once had eyes only for me seemed to have died in that moment...

Before I met Leo, I was a tea picker.

Five years ago, I saved Leo from a landslide.

But I was hit by rolling boulders, losing my eyesight.

During our time together in the mountains, we fell in love.

He knelt and proposed to me, "Autumn, your eyes saw life and death for me. From now on, my eyes will be yours."

I was incredibly touched.

So, defying all his family's pressure, he married me, an uneducated blind woman.

I numbly tugged at the corner of my mouth.

I once believed our love could overcome anything.

And I never thought I'd be betrayed by both my husband and my best friend.

Now I understand, true love eventually fades, and vows can't stand against reality.

When I returned from the hospital, the maids at home looked at me with open disdain.

"The blind madam's baby is gone. I guess she's useless now, huh?"

"I bet she'll be kicked out within a month. Time for Miss Chloe to take her place."

"Shh! Quiet down! She's blind, not deaf!"

I paused. So everyone knew about them, and I was the only one kept in the dark.

The whispers stopped abruptly as a foot suddenly jutted out in front of me.

I stumbled and fell hard, scraping my elbow.

The young maid, who had a crush on Leo, feigned surprise. "Oh my! Madam, why aren't you watching where you're going? I just mopped the floor, and you've dirtied it again!"

I slowly looked up, my cold gaze sweeping over her petty, twisted face.

To everyone's astonishment, I stood up and slapped her hard across the face.

"As long as I'm not divorced, I am still Mrs. Leo! If you don't want to work here, you can leave now!"

A stern voice boomed behind me, "Oh? I'd like to see who dares to kick out someone from this family?"

My body stiffened, a familiar voice making me flinch.

The young maid's eyes lit up when she saw it was Grandma Eleanor, and she immediately straightened her back proudly.

Eleanor stepped forward and slapped my face even harder.

"You couldn't keep a baby, but your temper sure has grown! My family would have better luck with a breeding dog than with you!"

In front of all the servants, she ordered them to drag me to the courtyard and forced me to kneel, a heavy book balanced on my head.

The midday sun was merciless. I bit my lip and endured, my face turning deathly pale.

Eleanor leaned down, pinching my chin, each word like an icy dagger.

"Your mother is still in the ICU. If you're not pregnant in a year, I'll unplug her life support."

"Don't blame me for being cruel. Blame your useless womb..."
