Peter’s words were like a heavy punch to the gut. Caspian trembled, panic overtaling him as he crawled over to Peter and grabbed his pant leg *N–No, I don’t want a divorce!”
He repeated the words over and over, desperately begging Peter to take them back. He couldn’t imagine what life would be like without shannon. Gabriel kicked him aside. His voice dripped with sarcasm. “You don’t want a divorce? Do you expect shannon to raise your mistress child?”
The mention of the child made Casplan’s eyes suddenly light up. Yes, they still had the baby!
“Right, we can’t get divorced. What about the child?”
Peter scoffed. This was the first time he found Caspian ytterly foolish.
Just as Julia was about to speak, Alena nished over upon hearing the word “divorce” and exclaimed, “Yes! Divorce her! We don’t want a woman who can’t have children! Besides, I’ll have a grandson soon. When that happens, I’ll have my son marry the mother of the child!
“Mom!” Caspian shouted, stopping Alens from speaking further. “Please, stop talking! I only want Shannon to be my wife!”
Alenachtched her chest in disbelief, looking at him with frustration.
“You. You…” Her words trailed off as she collapsed.
“Mom!” Caspian shouted
The scene erupted into chaos.
At that moment, Shannon was wheeled out of surgery. The Caldwells ignored Alens and Caspian and followed the gurney to the VIP ward.
Imide, Julia couldn’t hold back her tears as she looked at Shannon, whose face was completely covered in bandages
Shannon had once been such a radiant person, and now she looked so broken.
Peter gently patted julia’s shoulder, offering silent comfort.
Three days later, Shannon’s hand slowly moved, and she slowly opened her eyes.
“Water” she whispered,
Julia’s face lit up. She quickly helped lift the bed slightly and offered her a water cup with a straw. “Here. Drink slowly,”
After finishing the water, Shannon looked at her parents. Their worried expressions made her heart ache with a deep sense of grievance. “Dad, Mom…”
“Slib, no crying! You just had surgery on your face. You can’t cry Julia hurriedly stopped her. Shannon touched the bandages wrapped around her face. Pain and fury flashed in hereyes:
She would never forget the look of malice on Elsie’s face as she sliced her face with a knife.
Her face suffered a total of 99 slashes. The pain had been unbearable. And she would never forget the culprits behind this tragedy.
At this thought, she asked her parents, “Where are they?”
Julia knew whom she meant. As soon as she thought of what Caspian and Elsie had done to Shannon, her anger flared up again,
Still, she took a deep breath and told Shannon, “The mistress gave birth to a son. She had a cesarean without anesthesia and is still unconscious. As for Caspian, he’s still kneeling outside the door.”
Julia then pulled ou a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Shannon. “This is the divorce agreement cab had printed yesterday. Take a look, and if there’s no problem, sign it. ”
Shannon took the divorce papers, her emotions in turmoll.
She suddenly remembered the day she and Casplan registered their martage. Everything seemed perfect.
As they left the city hall, the sun shone brightly on them. He spun her around in his arms and kissed her forehead with deep affection
“You’re my wife now!” he had said.
The joy in his eyes was something Sharon would never forget.
Her mind then shifted to the day she uncovered his affair
Caspian was such a proud man, yet he had clung to her waist, pleading for her not to go through with the divorce
“You’re my wifel 1 won’t let you go, even if I have to darl
ly the end, all that remained in her memory were fragmented and cluotic recollections.
Twelve years of childhood friendship and five years of marriage had all come to this bitter end.
Shannon wiped away the tears from the comer of her eye and looked out the window. The sky was particularly gloomy today, as if it was about to rain. It was suffocating and oppressive
But strangely, she felt lighter. Because from today on, she would be completely free
Without looking at the terms and conditions on the document, she flipped to the last page and decisively signed her name.
