Let’s walk through this emotional roller coaster together in Chapter 492 of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*.
---
Renee never imagined she would end up in this situation. But there she stood, face to face with her best friend Leia, and there was no more room for secrets. Renee sighed wearily as Leia pressed her with question after question. The air around them was thick with hesitance and worry.
“Ah, why are you asking so many questions?” Renee said, looking exhausted in a way that had little to do with her body and everything to do with her heart. “All you need to know is that there isn’t any child. That’s it.”
But Leia was not so easy to brush aside. She was stubborn, sharp-eyed, and patient in the way of a true friend. She looked past Renee’s flimsy words and saw the truth hiding beneath.
“So, you’re pregnant, but you don’t want the child. Am I right?” Leia asked, her tone gentle yet persistent.
Renee knew she couldn’t hide it any longer. Maybe it was the exhaustion, or maybe it was relief that someone finally knew. Either way, the truth spilled out of her mouth.
“Yeah, I’m pregnant, but I don’t want the child. Dr. Wagner will help me abort the child right away. Just… help me handle Stefan. Don’t let him find out.”
It felt like a weight leaving Renee’s chest for just a moment—but the silence that followed was deafening. She continued, realizing that perhaps Leia could be her lifeline of support in the grim days ahead, someone who could care for her after the surgery and help keep this life-altering choice buried from Stefan.
“What? You want an abortion?” Leia’s eyes went wide. The shock in her voice was unmistakable. “It’s been only a few days but you’ve changed so much. Weren’t you very happy awhile back? Didn’t you want to have the child?”
Renee felt the sting of that question deep in her chest. She had been happy. She had wanted to carry this fragile new life, nurture it, protect it. But things had changed. People change. Hearts change. And no one knows how much a soul can ache until they’ve passed through the fire they never thought they’d face.
“People change. You weren’t there when I gave birth to the twins, and I agree with you. It's exhausting for women to have babies and get pregnant. I don’t want to suffer through that again,” Renee lied.
It was a mask of convenience, a cover for the storm raging inside her. But Leia—ever loyal, ever trusting—believed her.
“I see. It’s alright, I’ll support you!” Leia declared with sudden fierce resolve.
As expected, Renee had easily convinced Leia. There was no suspicion to pierce through, only the unshakable bond of sisterhood. Leia’s next words poured out with surprising anger and painful insight.
“I understand. Men are just playthings and scumbags. Women shouldn’t have to risk their lives to give birth to babies for them. Men have it easy—they get to become fathers without any pain. If they like children, all they have to do is play with them. If not, they’ll just ignore them and leave everything to the women to handle. In the end, children will bind us women, so I’ll support you if you don’t want this baby!”
Renee snorted, a faint, amused smile crossing her face despite the gravity of everything. “Pfft! You didn’t think so before this. What’s gotten into you?”
Leia was certainly different. Renee thought that might be a result of her sheltered upbringing—the reason they were such inseparable and trusting best friends. Stefan might not understand Renee’s decision, but Leia could, and more importantly, Leia would stand by her no matter what.
But Leia’s sudden anger wasn’t simply a reflection of Renee’s pain. It was personal. It came from deep wounds that had never been addressed out loud.
“No, I understood it clearly just now,” Leia said softly, clenching her fists in pain.
She had been naive. Once, she had fantasized about being with Xavier, having his children, and building a sweet happy family together—something like what Renee and Stefan had. But tonight, that fantasy shattered.
Renee’s eyes studied her friend carefully. Leia looked lost, hurt, raw. Something terrible had happened tonight, something that had rewired her inner world and stripped away all her sweet illusions about love.
“Did you argue with Xavier again?” Renee gently asked, her instincts as a best friend taking over.
Leia exhaled a long, exhausted sigh. “No, I ended things with him… He made a choice tonight… He gave me up.”
There it was. The real wound.
Leia had been victim and humiliated. People had hurt her and degraded her, yet Xavier had looked at her as though *she* were the violent abuser. Her defenses crumbled the moment Xavier protected Shirley instead of her. That was when Leia realized that men could easily change. Women shouldn’t have to risk their lives—their hearts—just to hold a relationship together. In love, as in everything else, it was women who always seemed to bleed the most.
As the chapter closes, two broken-hearted women sit together in the shadow of their own painful decisions. One is preparing to let go of a new life she cannot bear to keep. The other is mourning the love she thought would be her forever.
Their paths are different, but their pain echoes together in harmony.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating**
Oh, my heart. This chapter is a quiet hurricane of emotions. Renee is making one of the most difficult decisions of her life—not because she doesn't want this child, but because she feels she *can't* have it anymore. And Leia’s heartbreaking realization about Xavier just adds another layer of sadness.
The dialogue feels raw and real, and we can truly feel the weight hanging between these best friends. Those moments when friends realize they’ve been betrayed by love are always painful, especially when they see themselves in one another's choices.
I love that Leia stands by Renee unquestioningly, even if it means helping her make a choice that could devastate Stefan. That's true friendship, in all its complicated, messy glory.
The emotional depth of the chapter is excellent, though incredibly bitter. The writing takes us deep into the female heart, both its strength and its sorrow.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction**
We already know Stefan is not going to take this quietly. Once he senses that something is wrong, he will dig deeper, and soon he may discover that Renee is secretly pregnant. The biggest question is: Will Leia really be able to hide this from Stefan? Or will her own grief and conflict made her unexpectedly spill the truth?
And with Xavier having chosen Shirley, what will happen to Leia next? Will she truly walk away, or will a twist of fate bring her and Xavier back into each other’s orbit before it’s too late? We’re bracing ourselves for an emotional storm ahead.
