Remarried Wife: Mr. Ex, We Will Never Reconcile!-Chapter 78: Controlling Him with the Video

In the bedroom, all the blackout curtains were drawn, and the light was dim, with only the bedside lamp casting a warm yellow glow.

The atmosphere was suffocating, Vera struggled to breathe, her nerves stretched to the limit.

Ian Kane’s cold, slender hand caressed her cheek, his finger pads gently stroking her skin, as tender as a feather brushing against her, yet Vera noticed a trace of anger flashing between his brows.

It was like the chill of early spring wrapped in a gentle breeze.

"You lied to me... wife, you deceived me." The man’s thin lips moved, his voice hoarse, his dark eyes glimmering with a morbid tearful light.

His hand slowly moved downward, gradually approaching her swan-like neck.

Vera felt her heart leap to her throat, fearing he might strangle her the next second.

Maeve Holloway said that those with NPD often have violent tendencies.

"Husband, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you, I was afraid... I heard that the procedure is painful, and I wasn’t mentally prepared, so I lied to you." Vera’s eyes shimmered with tears, her tone sincere.

As she spoke, she reached out, grasping his arm to soothe him.

Ian Kane raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her, his deep dark eyes seemed as though they could see through her.

Seeing his disbelief, Vera continued to soothe him, "Husband, let’s wait until we return from Valdania to do it, okay? I heard that there is some abdominal pain after egg retrieval, I’m worried it might affect the trip and dampen your spirits."

Ian Kane’s brow gradually furrowed.

He seemed half-convinced.

Vera continued to press on his soft spot, "I heard from Mom that skiing in Valdania is your lifelong wish, don’t let my physical issues spoil your mood."

Ian Kane’s expression finally softened slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed, "If you’re afraid, you can just tell me, why lie."

Vera secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Of course, I was afraid you’d overthink."

"That I don’t love you anymore." She recalled the time he lay on her chest and asked her if she loved him.

Ian Kane’s eyes dimmed, locking onto hers, and after a pause, he chuckled softly, "Of course you love me, I never doubted it."

She did love him.

With all her heart, she loved him.

She had hurt her foot for him.

"Don’t worry, the egg retrieval procedure is done under anesthesia, you won’t feel a thing." Ian Kane smiled gently, speaking softly.

As he spoke, he lifted her blanket.

Vera was stunned that he still intended to go through with it!

"But it will be uncomfortable after the procedure..." She murmured, "It will affect skiing, what should I do?"

Ian Kane couldn’t ignore the faint unease within him, he spoke unconvincingly, "Living people matter more than dead ones, you matter more than him, if you’re really uncomfortable, you can stay behind."

He wanted her.

Valdania was a must-go as well.

His words left Vera no room to refute.

If she didn’t go today, he would surely suspect!

Just five more days, and she could escape this marriage filled with lies and betrayal. To tear it apart now would mean having to wrangle with him all over again.

Besides, she was eager to see his reaction when he discovered the "surprise" she had prepared for him!

Maeve Holloway always advised her that once she saw Ian Kane’s true colors, running away was the best option.

That was the rational thought of an outsider.

Yet in the past year, she had been moved by him, warmed her heart, and tried so hard to learn to love, to give...

She couldn’t accept giving up.

She always wanted to vent this grudge.

Seeing her dazed, Ian Kane didn’t delve further, only assumed she was scared, "Don’t worry, with general anesthesia, you won’t feel a thing."

Hearing this, Vera feigned a timid response, "Mm."

Previously, she had read about the IVF process on a hospital poster, if she went today, it couldn’t proceed, preliminary stimulation injections needed to be administered a week to half a month in advance.

Although she was now in the ovulation period, IVF required at least two eggs to be selected.

For the moment, Vera decided to lie low.

...

Neither of them had breakfast, and they arrived at the private aristocratic obstetrics and gynecology hospital under the Kane Group at nine in the morning, where a specially arranged specialist team awaited them.

At that point, Vera lay in the ultrasound room, "Doctor, for IVF, you need to receive stimulation injections in advance, right? Am I here to get the injection first today?"

The middle-aged gynecologist expert glanced at her, "Mrs. Kane, based on the ultrasound monitoring, your current dominant follicle diameter reaches 19 millimeters, which indicates that the egg inside is mature, and the subordinate follicle is also 18 millimeters, so there’s no need for stimulation injections, with my experience, we can retrieve at least two."

"You’re really lucky, if you conceive naturally, it’s very likely to be twins."

Vera’s breath caught, "How could it be so coincidental..."

The expert female doctor had a smile in her eyes, "From a professional perspective, it’s due to personal physical condition, or it might be caused by an endocrine disorder."

"We can arrange for retrieval today, Xiao Zhao, quickly tell President Kane the good news." She instructed the assistant doctor.

Vera instinctively reached for her phone and then realized her bag was with Ian Kane.

"Dr. Willows, how long does it take to implant the embryo?" she asked softly.

Doctor, "In general, it takes three days, depending on your personal situation."

Vera closed her eyes.

This was Ian Kane’s hospital, and the medical staff here were all his people, she couldn’t ask them for help.

Ian Kane pushed the door open and entered, approached the bedside, bent down on one knee, grasped her hand, and smiled, "Wife, I heard, our child is eager to check in."

"Suddenly, I really want to be a good father, like you said, the firstborn should be a boy, and when he grows up, I want to personally... teach him to ski."

When mentioning "teach him to ski," a complex emotion flickered in his dark eyes.

Vera didn’t hear a word, only thinking about how to avoid this ordeal, "Husband, where’s my phone? Maeve had an appointment for us to go to The Sanctuary today, and I was so excited I forgot."

This was Ian Kane’s territory.

Confronting him now would likely endanger her personal safety, let alone threaten him.

Ian Kane blinked the moisture from his eyes, glanced at his mechanical wristwatch, "Today time is tight, you prepare for anesthesia first, I’ll call her in a bit."

"After the egg retrieval, you can rest here at ease until the embryo transfer is done to go home."

Vera sensed he was determined to go through with it.

"Making just one call, how much time could it take?"

"I’ve already missed her appointment, and not even a single call, how inappropriate of me."

Ian Kane nodded, took the phone from her bag, and handed it to her.

He didn’t leave her side.

Vera dialed Maeve’s number in front of him, "Maeve, something came up today, I can’t make it to The Sanctuary, please give my regards to Big Yellow and Blackwood."

On the other end, Maeve had just gotten up, listening to Vera, feeling confused.

They hadn’t made any appointment today.

"What’s going on?"

Vera deliberately lied, hoping Maeve would understand her SOS signal, adding, "My husband is eager to become a father, we’re at the hospital now."

Maeve paused her action of pouring water.

This lunatic Ian Kane!

Vera’s deception didn’t fool him! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Of course, Maeve knew Vera was hoping for her help, "Then you rest assured, I’ll manage The Sanctuary properly."

Vera, "Mm, from egg retrieval to embryo implantation, it’ll take at least three days, I’ll need to stay in the hospital to recuperate, so I’ll leave The Sanctuary in your hands."

She deliberately let Maeve know to stop Ian Kane within those three days.

After hanging up, Maeve took a deep breath.

Opening her email.

To be safe, Vera had also sent Maeve a copy of a video last night, showing Ian Kane’s infidelity.

With the video, she had the leverage to confront Ian Kane.

Maeve didn’t hesitate, she called Ian Kane’s number directly.

She couldn’t wait three days, she wanted to minimize Vera’s suffering.

As soon as the call connected, Maeve got straight to the point, "Ian Kane, release Vera immediately, she can’t do IVF!"
