Chapter 231 Let's Get A Divorce
Gary's expression changed. "Is it that your health can't recover completely?"
Gary looked at Elodia with a complicated expression.
If Elodia could never get pregnant again, Gary was a little conflicted.
However, Gary thought about how Elodia was incomparably compatible with him in making love and how their every sex was incomparably perfect. Gary thought that they already had Key, and only one child was enough.
"Don't worry. Even if you can't have another child in the future, I won't divorce you."
Gary looked at Elodia arrogantly on the bed from above and thought that Elodia would show gratitude.
However, Elodia said calmly, "Gary Lockwood, let's get a divorce."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Gary was stunned.
This was the first time Gary had heard Elodia call out his full name.
It was a little novel, a little unfamiliar, but also made Gary a little unhappy.
That was because the first time Elodia called his full name was to ask for a divorce.
Gary waved his hand and said, "Elodia, why are you so ungrateful? I already said that I don't mind if you can't give birth in the future..."
"You've misunderstood." Elodia smiled mockingly and said, "It's not because I can't have children, but I just want to divorce you."
Gary was stunned. Then, his expression gradually turned cold as he said angrily, "Elodia, you're getting bolder, aren't you? Do you think you're qualified to throw a tantrum just because you're injured and have a miscarriage?"
"I'm not throwing a tantrum. I'm serious.
"Let's get a divorce."
Elodia looked at Gary calmly. Elodia's usually clear and docile eyelids were now like stagnant water, numb and empty.
Gary stared at Elodia coldly and met her gaze. Gary sneered. "Elodia, are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious. Let's get a divorce." Elodia's voice was weak but extremely firm.
Gary took a deep breath and said mockingly, "Have you thought about the consequences of divorcing me?
"Would your greedy parents and brother allow you to divorce me and leave the rich Lockwood family?
"Don't think that I don't know that you're forced to give them money every month. If you give them less every month, they won't let you off and will argue with you.
"If you divorce me, you won't have any money to give them anymore. When the time comes, will they let you off?"
Elodia fell silent. Gary was mocking and confident.
Gary knew that Elodia would not divorce him even if it was to meet her greedy parents' and brother's requirements.
However, after a moment of silence, Elodia suddenly smiled.
Gary who was confident at first suddenly became a little panicked because Elodia's smile was a little scary and indescribably sad.
"That's my business. Gary, let's get a divorce," Elodia said in a hoarse voice.
Gary's eyes widened as if he did not recognize Elodia.
But when Gary came back to his senses, he said angrily, "Elodia, don't be so shameless!
"On account of the fact that you just suffered an injury and had a miscarriage, I won't argue with you. Take good care of yourself. As for a divorce, that's impossible!"
With that, Gary propped himself up with his walking stick and turned to leave angrily.
Elodia stared at Gary's back silently. Two streams of tears flowed silently from the corners of her eyes. In the end, Elodia closed her eyes in despair.
After a while, Kieran and Isabella arrived. Kieran ran to the bed quickly and looked at Elodia worriedly.
Elodia opened her eyes. When Elodia met Kieran's pure gaze, her eyes which were filled with despair and death flashed with a faint glow.
Isabella went forward and checked Elodia's situation.
Then, Isabella looked at Elodia and said, "Elodia, there are always endless possibilities in life. You might be trapped by a moment of bad luck and feel that you can't be freed, but once you walk out, life will be infinitely beautiful."
Isabella could tell that Elodia was determined to die, so she could not help but say this.
Elodia looked at Isabella in a daze, her eyes revealing an envious light.
Isabella smiled. Elodia was still envious of Isabella, which meant that Elodia had not completely given up on life.
Isabella smiled, patted Kieran's head, and said, "Key, do you love your mom?"
A serious expression appeared on Kieran's little face as he nodded gently.
"Seeing that your mom's hurt and sick, are you sad?"
Kieran's eyes dimmed a little, and he nodded again.
Isabella looked at Elodia and said, "Elodia, look! Key is so cute and smart. You have to be strong."
Elodia burst into tears instantly.
Elodia pushed herself up with all her might and tried to get out of bed.
Isabella quickly held Elodia down and said, "Don't move, Elodia. You can't move too much now."
However, Elodia was very stubborn. Elodia struggled with all her might, but she did not succeed. Isabella pressed Elodia down and said, "Elodia, just say what you want to say but don't move."
Elodia lay down again. Her eyes revealed a strong desire as Elodia looked at Isabella.
However, Elodia then tilted her head and glanced at Kieran. Elodia wanted to say something but swallowed her words in the end.
Isabella pursed her lips and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't avoid my children when I want to speak something.
"Since they were very little, I had already begun to communicate with them as if they were adults.
"I think that although they are children, I can't patronize them and hide anything from them. This is respect for them."
Elodia looked at Isabella in a daze.
Kieran realized something. He looked at Isabella and then at Elodia.
Kieran quietly looked at Elodia, his little face carrying a hint of sadness.
Elodia took a deep breath and raised her hand. She weakly held Kieran's small hand with a gentle gaze.
The next moment, Elodia looked at Isabella and begged, "Isabella, I want a divorce. Please help me." Kieran's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Isabella was not surprised that Elodia would make such a request.
Instead, Isabella was a little gratified. What Gary had done was indeed unworthy of being a husband.
It was really aggrieving for Elodia to live with such a man for the rest of her life.
"As long as you don't regret it, I will help you," Isabella said.
"Divorce? How dare she talk about divorce?"
Hearing Gary's words, Colin was furious.
Colin was a typical male chauvinist. He felt that when a woman mentioned divorce, it was simply a sign that she was bitchy and unfaithful.
"She's really gutsy!" Kim echoed sternly in order to please Colin.
But at the same time, Kim was in disbelief.
Elodia was just a village girl from Black Mountain Village. Being able to marry into the Lockwood family was something that many daughters of wealthy families could only wish for. However, Elodia actually dared to mention divorce.
Kim felt that this was too ridiculous.
Colin said angrily, "Gary, go and tell her that she's always one of the Lockwood family no matter if she is alive or dead. She can forget about getting a divorce for the rest of her life!"
Gary finally felt a little better. That was right. Elodia could forget about leaving Gary for the rest of her life. Divorce Gary was even more impossible.
Just as Gary was about to nod in agreement, he heard Colin say angrily, "I'll talk to her personally! She has gone too far!"
Then, Colin rushed out in an imposing manner.
Kim hesitated for a moment before following.
Kim felt especially unbalanced in her heart.
If Gary asked for a divorce, Colin might have thought about it and agreed.
However, the person who brought up the divorce was Elodia. That was different.
A man bringing up the divorce was completely different from a woman bringing up the divorce.
Colin was a person who valued rules and was hidebound. Colin would never allow a woman to ask for a divorce first.
Seeing that his parents had gone to Elodia, Gary hurriedly followed.
Isabella got someone to send a bowl of medicine to Elodia. After Isabella promised Elodia to help her get a divorce, Elodia finally relaxed a lot.
After Elodia drank the medicine, her complexion seemed to have improved a little.
Kieran sat obediently by the bed and accompanied Elodia.
Seeing this, Isabella couldn't help but pat Kieran's head again and said, "I am leaving. Stay here with mom. She needs you. If you're tired, lie down with your mom and rest for a while." Kieran nodded seriously and said in a cute voice, "Thank you, Aunt Isabella."
"You're welcome. We're family." Isabella smiled.

After settling Elodia and Kieran down, Isabella was about to leave when the door was pushed open hard.
