I was about to ask Liam to withdraw his application to donate his body.
Suddenly the phone rang and my mother's condition suddenly became serious, so I hurried to the inpatient department.
When Luna's mother learned of her death, she was so anxious that she suffered a heart attack. Her condition was very serious. Although she was temporarily stabilized, she was not completely out of danger and needed an operation to be out of danger.
There are no more than three doctors in the country who can perform this operation.
My mother has tubes all over her body.
"If we can't find a doctor who can treat me, we won't treat me. It's such a waste of money to stay here. You don't have to come here so often. Luna still needs you..."
I poured some water into her mouth to stop her from talking.
"I can handle Luna's situation myself. You absolutely cannot be discharged from the hospital. Have you forgotten how dangerous your last attack was? Also, I heard that a great specialist who can perform this surgery will be here this month."
My mother's attending physician also said that the expert was very good at this type of surgery and all the spots were taken up as soon as they were released. Because my mother's symptoms were rather complicated, they temporarily added a spot for us.
Since Luna’s accident, this is the first good news we have received.
After comforting my mother, I was about to go find Liam to sign the divorce agreement.
The nurse told me embarrassedly that the VIP ward reserved for my mother had been taken away.
"I originally reserved it for you right away. But a lady with a strong background came and took it directly for her son. I heard from others that he is Director Liam's son, and we can't afford to offend..."
Liam? When did you have a son?
We have been married for eight years and our child is five years old, but we have always kept our marriage secret. The year we got married, Liam said that he was still young and announcing the marriage would make him look unstable. Later, it was dropped. Others didn't even know that Luna was his daughter. Could it be that he just didn't want to make his relationship with me public?
I had just taken care of my mother to sleep and prepared a divorce agreement.
As soon as I walked go side Liam's office, I saw Liam squatting, carefully polishing Vanessa's high heels - Vanessa came to deliver something to her son, and her heels were stained with mud. He squatted down and used the corner of his white coat to wipe the high heels clean bit by bit. The tenderness in his eyes was something I had never seen before. Even the last time I had a fever and was hospitalized, he was not so attentive.
"Lila? Why are you here?" Vanessa saw me and immediately put her feet away. She pretended to be flustered and pulled Liam's arm. "Don't get me wrong, my shoes are just dirty. Liam was afraid I would slip, so he insisted on helping me clean them..."
Liam stood up and patted the back of Vanessa's hand lovingly. When he turned to look at me, his eyes instantly turned cold, the corner of his white coat still swaying: "Didn't I ask you to apologize? Why did you come to the hospital? Empty-handed?"
"You're so old, and you can't even admit your mistakes?" His words pierced my heart like needles, but I just found it ridiculous - he couldn't even recognize his own daughter, and he still had the nerve to ask me to admit my mistakes.
I didn't waste any time talking to him. I took out the divorce agreement from my bag and handed it to him: "Sign it, divorce."
Liam stared at the agreement for two seconds, then flew into a rage: "What are you making a fuss about? You know Luna loves you as her mother the most. She always comes to you when she's sick. She won't agree to our divorce!"
When I heard the word "Luna", my heart skipped a beat - he finally mentioned his daughter, but he had no idea that the daughter he said "went looking for her mother when she was sick" would never come back.
I forced a bitter laugh, my voice as cold as ice: "Luna will never care whether we get divorced or not again."
Liam's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
"You'll know when you go home and take a look at Luna's room." I didn't want to say anything more to him. Saying one more word would be a blasphemy to Luna.
Liam glared at me impatiently. "Don't be so mysterious! Isn't it just Lila's death? Why are you still harping on it?"
"Hurry up and leave. Don't embarrass yourself in the hospital. I still have to check the medical advice for Vanessa's son. I don't have time to waste with you!" He said, and protected Vanessa behind him, as if I were some evil person who would hurt them.
Vanessa's eyes reddened at the right moment. She took out a handkerchief to wipe away her non-existent tears and sobbed, "Sister Clara, I know my son is wrong, but he is still young, only six years old... Are you filing for divorce at this time to distract Liam and delay my son's treatment?"
"My son is still waiting for a kidney. If Liam gets upset because of this and it affects his work, I... I really don't know what to do!"
Vanessa's words made Liam's eyes turn red instantly. He hugged Vanessa into his arms and whispered comfortingly: "Qingqing, don't be afraid. I'm here. No one can delay your son's treatment. Your son will have the best medical resources. A specialist will be coming in a few days. I will help you arrange it."
Then he turned and glared at me, his eyes full of hostility: "Clara, Qingqing and the child are already pitiful enough, what else do you want? Lila's death was an accident. Don't try to threaten me with divorce, let alone affect the hospital's affairs!"
Seeing him verbally abuse me for the bully's mother, I felt chilled to the bone.
If Luna knew in her afterlife that her most admired doctor father was defending the person who killed her, she would be so sad.
I took a deep breath and said word by word, "I'm getting a divorce."
Liam was so angry that he tore up the divorce agreement on the spot. The scraps of paper fell on his white coat and floated to the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, "You want a divorce? Impossible, Clara. I've said it before. There's only widowhood between us, not divorce."
Seeing that the divorce agreement could not be signed today, I said nothing and turned away. I didn't see the jealous look in Vanessa's eyes when she heard Liam say he didn't want a divorce.
Although the divorce was not successful, it doesn't matter. I have my own way to get rid of Liam. The most urgent thing now is to prepare for my mother's surgery, and to find Luna before the experiment so that she can be buried in peace and the murderer who hurt Luna will get the revenge she deserves.
