“He didn’t have a marriage certificate in his hand, so he must be a fraud.”
The doctor looked at the medical record in his hand.
He hesitated for two seconds and said, “But he donated a lot of blood for your surgery. The hospital
blood bank had no stock, and they almost drew half of his blood from his body.”
“That was what he deserved. I rolled down the stairs because of him.”
I closed my eyes, my face full of exhaustion, and didn’t want to talk about this matter anymore.
The doctor, afraid of affecting my recovery, left the ward as soon as he saw me wake up.
She seemed to have said something to Josiah.
I saw Josiah with an anxious expression on his face, and he defended himself for a long time.
And then he left.
The image of him laying hands on me on the stairs is still vivid in my mind. Now, whenever I catch a glimpse of him, I feel nauseous.
We thought we started inexplicably, and it would end inexplicably like this.
And then they disappeared from each other’s lives, as if by mutual agreement.
I had even bought myself a plane ticket to go abroad and find my parents.
But he appeared in the hospital holding our old shabby wedding photo.
I explained to my attending physician for a long time, and finally, the doctor reluctantly believed
him.
Bring the person to me.
Then he looked at me sympathetically and left the ward on his own.
I closed my eyes and heard footsteps, but I ignored them.
Josiah stared at me for a long time and finally couldn’t help but speak.
“Sorry…”
“I was just
too anxious. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Aurora has always been in poor health, and I was afraid that you would be too rough with her and something would happen. Then I wouldn’t be able to explain it to my colleagues at the company.”
“I swear, when I rushed past, I really didn’t see you, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to collide with you. You are my own flesh and blood in your belly, I can’t lay a hand on my own child no matter
what!”
Chapter 6
The surgical incision was still throbbing with intense pain.
But he put in so much effort, and the first thing he did when he saw me was to make excuses for his
mistake.
No one asked me
if the surgery was painful, no one asked me how my body was.
No one asked me where the child was.
I looked at his serious and nervous face and suddenly laughed.
Tears slid down unconsciously and dropped into the collar.
The location of the heart, it was icy cold.
Chapter 7
“What’s wrong with you, Hazel? Darling? Don’t scare me, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“Please hold on, I will go and call the doctor immediately.”
“Wait a minute.”
I called out to him, and he looked stunned.
“No need, let’s break up, Josiah.”
“I was tired.”
“I can’t blame her, and I can’t blame you either, but please, never appear in front of me again, in
this life or the next, I don’t want to see you ever again.”
Or I didn’t expect that I could speak so decisively.
Their eyes met, and he stood frozen in place.
It took him a long time to recover.
I was awakened by the sound of a cellphone ringing-
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, and his expression immediately became uneasy.
I laughed sarcastically and didn’t look at him again.
“Go, I said, don’t appear in front of me. It doesn’t matter to me who you are with.”
Six years of love and marriage, not even a farewell is needed to leave.
How hasty it was for us to be together in the beginning, and how miserable it is now that we have
separated.
He thought that when he received Aurora’s call, he would leave without hesitation.
But this time, he hung up.
“I know I made you feel wronged today, but I promise this will be the last time. I can explain. everything to Aurora, I only saw her as a sister. Sometimes when I see her, it’s like seeing a younger version of you, and I can’t help but want to protect her.”
As the words fell, I looked at him, with a face full of disdainful laughter.
“Josiah, I was still alive, there was no need for you to remember me, someone who was completely unrelated to you.”

“Don’t use me as an excuse for your infidelity, I find it disgusting.”
-Seeing my firm attitude, he finally became anxious.
Chapter 7
How could you think that, Hazel? I wasn’t that kind of person, you should know that!”
“We were together for six years, when did I ever betray you?”
“It was indeed your stinginess that caused such a result this time. The matter could have been resolved if you had just lowered your head, but you insisted on escalating it to this point. I don’t want it to be like this either.”
I have never felt as mentally exhausted as I do now.
I didn’t even bother to explain as he splashed all the dirty water on me.
Whatever you think, if you believe that a mother should not retaliate when being insulted like
that, if you think I would lay hands on her, then it was me who did it, fine, you don’t have to hold back either, take this opportunity, and let’s go our separate ways.”
He was about to speak up to explain, when the phone rang again.
He didn’t stay any longer this time, he looked at me disappointedly and left the ward.
As soon as he left, I took out my phone and sent a message to my parents who were far away in
another country.
I said that I would go abroad to meet them in half a month.
This time, it will never come back again.
My mom knows me too well. The moment she saw the message, she immediately knew that I must
have been wronged.
A phone call came in, and I couldn’t help but burst into tears.
But he dared not answer the call.
Afraid that she would hear my voice and perceive my situation.
I waited for a long time, waited for the phone to hang up automatically, and then she called again.
After several attempts, my mother finally gave up.
I pretended to have just looked at my phone and replied to her message.
“I was just having a meal, sorry I didn’t check my phone.”
“Nothing much, just missed you guys. Being with family is more important.”
“After all this time, I realized that Josiah and I Maybe you were right back
were not c
then.”
After confirming the time to go abroad with my parents, they said they would pick me up at the airport.
The long–lost warmth spread in my heart, and this lonely ward was finally not so desolate.
The nurse changed my medicine one trip after another, unable to help but wonder.
“Ms. Torres, what was your relationship with Mr. Gilbert? He was holding your wedding photo and always taking care of another woman in a different ward.”
“Really? The photos I took as a model before, don’t take them seriously, it was just a colleague
relationship.”
Perhaps it was the last bit of self–esteem that played tricks on me, I didn’t want to be seen as a joke by outsiders.
Once again, a spontaneous lie was woven.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I froze.
