Married to a Trap I Already Escaped Chapter 05

I was knocked to the ground by the blast wave.

When I opened my eyes again, I turned my head and found Hubert standing by the bed.

In my past life, he was not only Sophie’s partner, but also Xavier’s boss.

“Why am I here?” I swallowed hard and reached for my abdomen.

It was flat and empty.

Hubert frowned deeply. “The explosion caused a collapse. When you were rescued, the baby didn’t

make it.”

“The doctors said your kidney was saved, but your body suffered severe damage and needs rest.”

Tears slid down the corners of my eyes.

The baby was gone. This little life had been snuffed out by Xavier before I even got to feel it.

“Why save me?” I stared straight at Hubert.

Hubert let out a sigh. “I’ve long thought Xavier’s recent actions were too crazy.”

“Fran, I’ve uncovered the truth about your father’s incident back then. Anne’s father embezzled public funds and killed himself out of fear of punishment after being exposed. She pinned all the blame on your father and tricked Xavier.”

My eyes widened abruptly. All the unjust disasters in my past and present lives stemmed from this

vicious lie.

“I want to see Xavier.” I gritted my teeth.

Hubert shook his head. “You can’t.”

“In the explosion, he suffered a severe head injury while protecting Anne and is still in a coma.” “Fran, leave. I’ve arranged a new identity and an overseas flight for you. Don’t come back again.”

I saw through the calculation in his eyes.

He was just afraid that Xavier would go mad and cause more trouble, dragging the Garrel Group down with him, so he was eager to get me out of the picture.

I nodded and agreed directly.

I left with nothing but the hatred carved deep into my heart.

Xavier, this isn’t over between us.

Meanwhile, in a hospital ward.

Xavier, who had been in a coma for half a month, suddenly opened his eyes. He gasped for air, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The investigation report Hubert had given him before the coma was vivid in his mind.

The truth of the Dorval family’s bankruptcy came to light, and Anne’s lies were completely

exposed.

Fragments of memory flooded back, one after another.

In his past life, Fran had bled heavily during childbirth, begging him to sign the surgery forms on the operating table, but he had mocked her over the phone, leading to her death along with their

child.

In this life, when Fran was pregnant, he had ordered her kidney removed to save Anne.

The despair in Fran’s eyes during the explosion made him clutch his chest tightly.

“Fran…” Xavier’s lips trembled, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He remembered everything now.

After Fran died in his past life, he had realized he was in love with her. He had rummaged through her belongings every day, clinging to her urn to get by.

Fate had given him a second chance at life, yet he had been blinded by lies and pushed Fran to the brink of death once again.

The ward door was pushed open.

“Xavier, you’re finally awake! I was so scared!” Anne threw herself toward the bed.

Xavier turned his stiff neck and stared at the woman in front of him.

This face overlapped perfectly with the Anne who had bribed the doctor to delay Fran’s rescue in his past life.

He clenched his jaw, his stomach churning violently.

Xavier suddenly reached out and clamped his fingers tightly around Anne’s neck.

“X-Xavier… what are you doing…” Anne flailed her arms, her face turning purple.

Xavier’s eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with rage.

“It was you. You killed her.”

“Anne Dorval, I want you to pay with your life!”

His fingers tightened abruptly, and Anne’s eyes rolled back.

Several staff members rushed into the room, forcibly pulling Xavier away, pinning him to the bed and injecting him with a sedative.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, tears soaking the pillow.

“Fran, I’m sorry…”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like this.”

But Fran had already been pushed to her death with his own hands.

Hubert walked into the ward and tossed a death certificate onto the bed.

[Fran Larson died from her injuries in the explosion and has been cremated.]

“Xavier, you killed the woman you loved with your own hands.”

Xavier stared at the thin piece of paper and let out a shrill wail. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious again.
