Herschel glanced at the closed operating room and nodded anxiously.
“Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and save her. I'm her husband. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!”
Even though I had seen it clearly, I still could not help trembling at this moment. He did not care about my life at all!
As if sensing my gaze, Herschel was silent for a moment, but still comforted me without taking it seriously, “Sallie, it's just a blood draw, nothing will happen. Besides, this incident was caused by you, we can't just ignore it.”
I closed my eyes, feeling more powerless and exhausted than heartache.
As time passed, my face turned paler and paler, as if I was going to faint in the next second. However, Herschel was immersed in worry and did not react at all.
Not long after, Liza was pushed out and Herschel hurriedly followed, without a word of concern from beginning to end.
I was thrown in the corridor. I felt sick watching the family having fun, but in the end, I was just discharged with the contract.
Herschel had to take care of Liza and had not been home for several days.
I cleared out my belongings in the villa bit by bit, selling what could be sold and donating what could not be sold.
Liza would send me provocative messages from time to time, sometimes even including photos.
[Thank you for your blood, but I think it's dirty, so I've thrown it away. Sallie, your life is so worthless. I just bribed the doctor to make a joke and he drained your blood for me.]
[Auntie gave me a bracelet today, saying it was a family heirloom that would only be passed down to her daughter-in-law. How come everyone only likes me, while you, the real owner, are disliked by everyone? How pitiful.]
[The whole hospital is full of traces of my lovemaking with Herschel. Can't you satisfy him? He said he would take me to the beach for the wedding next week. He gave me everything you did not have.]
I did not reply, but saved all the information and waited to give them a surprise at their wedding.
A day later, Liza was discharged from the hospital and Herschel also returned to the villa.
He asked with a frown, noticing that it was much emptier inside.
“What happened at home?”
I did not want to waste any more words, so I just dealt with it casually, “Too many things, so I cleaned it up and donated some.”
Herschel was obviously just asking casually and did not care. He just put away his things and looked apologetic as he said, “Sallie, I'm going on a business trip for a few days. I'll be back to be with you before our wedding anniversary.
“I'm sorry for hurting you in a hurry. I've asked the nutritionist to rearrange your meals. Take good care of yourself. I'll hold a wedding for you when I come back, okay?”
I sneered in my heart, ‘Is it because you and Liza are holding your wedding abroad this time and will have some experience now so you can come back and deal with me?’
I did not know why Herschel suddenly felt a little flustered, as if he could no longer see love in my eyes.
Thinking of what happened before, he suppressed his uneasiness and felt sorry.
This time he was the one who let me down. After settling Liza and Carlos, he would come back and live a good life with her.
It was not until Herschel left that I looked up at the photo of the two of us hanging in the living room. I took it down and lit it with a lighter until it completely disappeared without a trace.
I once thought that love was indestructible, but it turned out to be just like this.
In the afternoon, I got my divorce certificate and booked a flight abroad.
I had collected the information sent by Liza and sent them to the hacker. Then I packed my suitcase and took a taxi away.
At the airport, Herschel’s parents were holding Carlos and chatting in front, while Herschel was walking behind with his arm around Liza, his face full of happiness.
The next second, he suddenly saw a figure resembling me disappearing in the crowd and he felt uneasy.
‘Isn't she at the villa? Why is she at the airport?’ he wondered.
When he wanted to look for me again, I was gone.
Herschel frowned and was about to chase after me when Liza grabbed his sleeve and said, “Herschel, what's wrong? It's time for us to board the plane.”
He took one last look over there, but did not see me. He just shook his head, thinking it was an illusion and led Liza over.
“You said you wanted to wear that custom-made wedding dress. I've already sent someone to deliver it. Can you please go over there and try it on for me later?”
Liza gave him a shy look.
“So, you want to watch me try it on? Okay, I can wear it for you tomorrow night.”
I stood in the corner, watched the two of them leave affectionately, then turned and went to another boarding gate, going in the opposite direction.
This time, I want to leave completely and never come back, and from now on I will pursue the most beautiful and best self!
