Covering half of my face with my hand, I stared at him and said, "She is just an orphan and I am your wife."
"What a joke." He looked at me with disgust and said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to compare with Leslie? In my heart, you are not even qualified to be compared with her!"
"Come back with me!" He grabbed my hair with his big hands and almost dragged me forward.
I held onto the iron chair and suitcase tightly.
In a fit of rage, he kicked my suitcase and smashed it to pieces.
I clearly heard a sound of porcelain shattering in my ears and Garrick was stunned.
I squatted down, tears streaming down my face. It was a pair of porcelain jars.
It was the porcelain jar we made together on our first date.
He taught me hand in hand how to shape a clay pot and we even drew and colored it together.
Finally, they were glazed and it took half a year to complete this pair of porcelain jars.
That was my most beautiful memory with him. That was also my wish.
But now, the last bit of reluctance had also been destroyed.
I picked them up piece by piece, trying to piece together the porcelain jar, but failed.
Garrick grabbed my sleeve impatiently. "Don't pick it up, it's just a broken porcelain jar."
The car was driving very fast, which showed the man's urgent mood.
Soon, we arrived at the hospital.
So now, he only had Leslie in his eyes.
I met Garrick in college. At that time, my father's business was in financial difficulty and facing bankruptcy.
It was Garrick who appeared like a life saver and saved me and my family.
Later, he pursued me with almost no effort and I agreed.
I majored in general medicine. At that time, he loved fighting and his body was always covered with varying sizes of wounds.
Some were even on his face. I specially took a scar repair course and got full marks for him.
After graduation, I entered the hospital and scar repair became a plus point for me.
At that time, he told me, "Having you is like having the whole world. Wendy, you can't abandon me."
But after only eight short years of marriage, everything changed.
He forgot that I took this specialization for him and forced me to perform reconstructive surgery on his first love.
The two of them played too much that they ended up in the hospital.
There was no original partner in the world who was more frustrated than me.
After the reconstructive surgery, my face turned pale and my figure was on the verge of collapse.
Leslie said pretentiously, "Oh, I still have to get up and thank Wendy for performing the surgery on me. Garrick, don't you think so?"
"No need, that's what she should do as a doctor."
However, Leslie pulled me over with a shy expression and stuffed the familiar wedding ring into my hand.
Her smile was sweet, but her tone was extremely vicious. "I said I didn't like seeing him wearing a wedding ring and he took it off and threw it in the trash can without even thinking about it."
She leaned closer to me and said, "Wendy, in love, the one who is not loved is the mistress."
I did not say anything, but the pain in my heart swept through my whole body.
I directly threw a pair of wedding rings into the trash can.
The next time I saw Garrick, he was peeling an apple for Leslie.
I remembered that when I had a stomachache before, I also pestered him to peel an apple for me.
But at that time, his face was full of disgust and he stuffed the whole apple into my mouth, with a tone full of resentment.
"How old are you? Apple peels are nutritious. You can just chew them."
I thought he was disdainful of doing such a thing, but it turned out he did not want to do it for me.
When the plate of apple chunks was almost empty, I was about to knock on the door and go in.
But I saw Leslie holding an apple in her mouth and feeding it to Garrick mouth-to-mouth.
"You are so awesome, Garrick. I don't even know how to peel an apple. This last piece of apple is a reward for you."
He opened his mouth and bite it lovingly.
The two of them even kissed each other as if no one was around.
Until her face blushed and she leaned against the man.
I thought seeing this scene would make me heartbroken, but in fact, I just felt numb.
This marriage was nothing but a farce.
I just wanted to end it as soon as possible.
Leslie saw me standing at the door and hurriedly got off him, nervously speaking, "Wendy, why are you here?"
Seeing my dark eyes, she quickly explained in a coquettish voice. "I was too excited just now. Wendy, please don't get me wrong, there is really nothing between me and Garrick ...."
Her expression changed from shyness to shock and she covered her face and retreated back to the hospital bed.
Garrick, however, stepped forward and hugged the girl back in a protective posture.
He pressed her head into his arms and said, "What's there to explain? I just pamper you like a sister."
He turned his head and looked at me with obvious dislike. "What are you doing here?"
I took out a piece of white paper from my bag and told Garrick that it was a confirmation letter from the hospital that required family members to sign.
It involved Leslie, the apple of his eye and he was busy comforting the frightened girlfriend in his arms.
He signed without a second thought.
I got the agreement successfully.
Then I did something that surprised everyone present.
I bowed to Garrick and said solemnly,
"Mr. Steinfeld, thank you for helping my family through the difficult times back then. I don't owe you anything for the past eight years."
I turned and left, but I heard Garrick's panicked voice behind me.
"Wendy, what do you mean by that?"
