Chapter $
My voice trembled, and tears threened no spill or again wir warning
“Winne? What’s going on?”
Was it you in that car accident last might
He panicked for a moment but guddy regained his compance
Yeah, I broke three ribs, and there’s more.
But he cut himself off abruptly before finishing the sentence
“Alright, which hospital are you in? I’ll come find you
I could hear the anxiety in his voice, and for a fearing moment, I thought he cared abou
me 200.
“Central Hospital. L…”
“Get in just wait for me in your room.“”
He seemed genuinely hurried, and I didn’t even have time to remind him of anything
Within five minutes. Knis arrived
Even though I couldn’t reach him after the accident and even saor him with Grace in
another ward, I didn’t suspect anything. Seeing my lover come to me at this moment stil
warmed my heart.
One can do many things alone, but in moments of vulnerability, we all crave
companionship.
“Honey, you’re here!” My lips were chapped from falling last night, and smiling now hurt
like hell
“Winne, let’s settle this privately with Grace about the accident. She can’t afford any negative publicity now and will compensate you generously.”

Chapter 5
My smile hadn’t faded yet when Kris’s indifferent voice pierced through.
I thought seeing me in this miserable state, he would at least show some concern first.
“Honey, I broke three ribs.” I tried to prop myself up to talk to him, but it was difficult.
“I know! But the surgery’s already done, right?” He casually pulled over a chair and sat down, without offering to help me.
Winne, Grace has entrusted me as her lawyer to handle this. It’ll be easier if it’s you.”
“Winne, do you know Grace? She was my college classmate. I didn’t expect her to be so successful, going abroad for five years and coming back straight to a management position in her company.”
“She promised me that if I handle this well, her company will prioritize me for any future
cases.”
For half an hour in the hospital room, he kept talking about Grace’s goodness, her
excellence, and the benefits she could bring him.
He didn’t ask once if my wounds hurt or how I managed alone last night.
His phone that was busy all night must have been with Grace, or he wouldn’t have known
so much.
His overtime last night must have been spent with Grace in the hospital, or his suit wouldn’t
have been so wrinkled, considering how meticulous he usually is about his appearance.
As he spoke, I could see a long curly hair floating out of his cuff. My long hair was cut short
for the convenience of delivering food a long time ago.
It turns out that all these years, the love I proudly believed had carried us from campus to the altar was just a one–sided affair.
It turns out that my husband can abandon me so ruthlessly as soon as someone slightly
better appears.
