Chapter 8
I don’t know since when, but I have become more accustomed to lying.
Once upon a time, I used to despise people like this…
At night, I rested alone in the ward.
Drowsily, it seemed like I heard the sound of Josiah arguing with the doctor.
“My wife dropped the child in your hospital, you must take responsibility!”
What do your nurses eat? Why couldn’t they detect it in the first place?
Originally, my child could still be saved, but now my wife almost lost her life! You must take responsibility!
The doctor, annoyed, spoke in a cold voice.
“Sir, please calm down. The abortion procedure was already scheduled by this young lady two days in advance. Even if she hadn’t fallen, the baby couldn’t have been saved.”
“And when the patient fell, our colleague witnessed it with their own eyes. She was dragged to the edge of the stairs by someone. If you don’t believe it, you can call the police and check the surveillance footage now!”
The sound of the door opening, under the dim light, Josiah’s face looked stern.
I looked at him with a gaze full of complex emotions.
I lay on the sickbed, furrowing my brows uneasily.
He tucked himself into the corner and carefully closed the curtains for me.
“Wife, I’m sorry..
A light apology was blown away by the night breeze, barely audible.
The next day, when he opened his eyes, he had already disappeared.
Only
the steaming porridge in the bedside thermos could prove that he had been here.
I asked the nurse to help me throw away the lunch box and bought another hospital breakfast.
The nurse hesitated, her gaze towards me showing some hesitation.
After a long while, they finally argued and spoke up.
“Don’t you know yet? That Mr. Gilbert, he called the police early this morning and arrested someone from the hospital!”
“When we went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, they specifically instructed uts to take good care of you.”
I lifted my head and my voice was light
“Who did you catch?”
“The person who wanted to pull you downstairs that day!”
I opened my phone and glanced at the news. Sure enough, the photo showed Aurora’s fierce and angry face.
seemed that the conspiracy was exposed in front of someone, and she was also too lazy to continue pretending.
It restored its original appearance.
The comments section is filled with speculations that she intentionally pushed the pregnant woman, which is no different from premeditated murder. There is a high probability that she will have to spend several years in prison.
But as I looked at these messages, I couldn’t muster any emotions.
Even if I kill her now, I cannot bring back my child.
Although the decision to have an induced abortion was made, being forced to have one and choosing to have one voluntarily are completely different.
That day, I actually wasn’t prepared yet.
Josiah’s biased and indifferent attitude just infuriated me.
Seeing that I didn’t respond, the nurse became disinterested and left, setting down the breakfast.
Turned off the phone and had dinner by myself.
Josiah hurriedly returned to the hospital.
Without saying a word to me, he started doing chores in the ward for me.
It was like there was a silent understanding.
He didn’t speak, and I didn’t ask.
And so, a week passed.
I was able to get out of bed and walk after the stitches were removed.
The doctor said there was nothing serious and I could go home to rest.
Josiah snapped a black card on the spot.

had to continue staying in the hospital.
I couldn’t help it anymore and started arguing with him.
“I was going to be discharged, what’s wrong with you?”
There could be someone to take care of you in the hospital, I have to go to work when you go back,
I’m worried.”
His serious and stubborn appearance made me feel as if I had gone back to six years ago.
But between us, we can no longer go back.
“Josiah, I just had an abortion, why are you taking it so seriously?”
As soon as the words fell, his face was full of injuries.
I don’t understand.
“Hazel, that was our child, how could you be so casual about it?’
“You impulsively made an appointment for surgery without telling me, and I don’t blame you. I
know it was my fault in the first place, but now the misunderstandings are slowly being resolved. We can also reconcile and go back to how we were. Can’t you give me a chance?”
I lifted up my hospital gown, revealing my abdomen covered in lines and my swollen legs.
“What, you don’t find it disgusting anymore?”
“Josiah, I was no longer the same Hazel as before, and you were not the same person as you used to
be either.”
“It was over between us a long time ago.”
I stubbornly discharged myself from the hospital.
He got angry and started a cold war with me.
After dropping me off at home, he went straight to the office to work.
I also enjoyed the leisure time and took the opportunity to pack my luggage for going abroad.
At night, he sorted out all the gifts he had given me over the past six years.
Surprisingly, it was so pitiful that not even a cardboard box was filled.
I took it downstairs and threw it into the trash can without hesitation.
He drove back home.
After entering the door, I washed my hands and went straight to the kitchen.
Chapter 8
Two hours later, looking at the table full of food, I realized that he had cooked for me.
I remembered that I had been busy in the kitchen for six years, but I had never tasted his cooking.
At that moment, I suddenly laughed bitterly at myself.
I ate a meal without savoring the taste.
Thinking about leaving tomorrow, I suppressed all my emotions.
After he finished tidying up the dining table, he took out a gift box from his coat and placed it in
front of me.
“Sixth anniversary gift, take a look.”
“No need, leave it for your next successor.”
“Hazel, did you have to be so hurtful with your words?”
“Compared to Aurora, I would say I am praising myself.”
Although Aurora will never appear in front of us again, she has already become an insurmountable
barrier between us.
We all understood this point.
I slept in the guest room for one night, holding my own bedding.
My phone kept vibrating during the night, all the messages were apologies from Josiah.
There were huge transfers of money mixed in.
Once upon a time, the green chat box finally changed its color at this moment.
But I had already lost the desire to watch.
When it was dawn, I heard the sound of him closing the door and leaving.
I got up and freshened up, then took a taxi to the airport.
On the way, I directly deleted all his contact information.
Only one sentence remains.
“Never again, this is the end.”
That room was a property he bought after his business success, and it had nothing to do with me.
So I left easily.
Letting go of this relationship was much easier than I had imagined.
Chapter
Perhaps many moments in the past were slightly disappointing..
Now, after putting in the effort, I have no regrets anymore.
At the moment the plane took off, 1 bid farewell to the person I used to be.
I hope that every day in the future surpasses every year in the past.
