Reject The Ex-husband: I will be the best version of myself!

A fire broke out at the hospital,the fire spread and surrounded me.

However, when I called for help from my husband Liam, he ignored my life and I watched as my husband, Liam, rushed off to save his first love, Abby, who was in the ward with her 4 years-old daughter.

Fortunately, the fire was put out and I was rescued by firefighters.

Ten minutes later, my eyes fell on a post Abby made just few minutes ago on app.

[Abby: Although we are not married, you always show up when I need you, my dear hero.]

She posted a photo where she was holding my husband's hand.

I commented: Congratulations, I gave him to you.

After commenting, I decided to get a divorce. When Liam received my divorce agreement, he cried and begged me not to leave.

But it was too late.

——

Liam and I firstly met when we were still high school students,at a hockey game in their school.

I was a part of the female hockey team and he was part of the male one.After the match,he came up to me and praised my efforts.

We started talking and gradually,he always accompanies me when I was in training.

When my thigh was injured that led me couldn't participate in the competition,he always stayed by my side and kept me accompanied through the most difficult time.Later in college,he confessed his love to me,and I agreed.After graduating from college,we finally got married.

For a full ten years of love,every scenes of the memory floated in my mind.However,everything was broken by the return of his first love.

When the fire broke out today,I called him for help.But he said,"You are fine in the hospital.Don't make up lies anymore."and then hung up the phone.

The doctor walked and stood beside me,checking my vitals.

"Okay,Miss Nora,it's time for your discharge.You are free to go home now."The doctor's voice broke into my thoughts.

As the doctor handed me my discharge papers,I saw Liam walking towards me,Abby and her daughter by his side.Abby smiled at me,a triumphant look on her face.

"I'm glad you're okay,"Liam said,his voice detached.

I felt a sting from his words."Yeah,I'm fine,"I replied,trying to keep my emotions in check.

Abby stepped forward,her daughter,Becca,clinging to her hand."Thanks to Liam,we are all safe now,"she said,her eyes locked on his face.

I felt a surge of anger and hurt.Why was she doing this?And why was he looking at her like that?

"I believe you can go home on your own right?"Liam asked me.

I didn't reply,I just packed my bag and tried walking out when he held my arms.

"You are hurting me,Liam."I said with pain.

"When next I'm talking,you don't walk out on me."

I just stared at him.I was not ready to fight with him or argue,especially not in the presence of the hospital staff and also Abby and her daughter,Becca.I glared at John,my eyes heavy with emotions.If only he could split open my heart,he will know how much pain I was hiding.

"Anyways,I will be staying with Abby and her daughter for the night,they need me around."

I was shocked hearing my husband say such.How does he expect me to stay all alone at home,while he stays with his ex girlfriend?

"You're going to stay with them?"I repeated,trying to keep my voice steady.

Liam nodded,his expression unyielding."Yes,they need me.And I need to make sure they're safe."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing."And what about me?Don't you care about my safety?"

Liam sighed,his eyes flashing with annoyance."Of course I do,Nora.But you're not the one who just went through a traumatic experience.Abby and Becca need me right now."

I felt a surge of anger and hurt."So you're just going to leave me alone,after what happened?After what you said to me on the phone?"

Liam's expression softened slightly,but his voice remained firm."Nora,we'll talk about this later.Right now,I need to take care of Abby and Becca."

I shook my head,tears flowed down my cheeks."Fine.Go take care of them.See if I care."

Liam's face tightened,but he turned and walked away,leaving me standing alone in the hospital corridor.I watched as he disappeared,walking back to Abby's ward,feeling like my heart was shattering.

How could he do this to me?How could he choose her over me?

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.I couldn't believe what was happening.I felt like I was living in a nightmare.

I walked out of the hospital,feeling numb and alone.I didn't know where to go or what to do.I felt like my whole world had been turned upside down.

As I walked,I noticed a taxi cab waiting by the curb.I got in and gave the driver my address.I didn't want to go home,but I didn't know where else to go.

The driver asked me if I was okay,and I just shook my head.I didn't want to talk about it.

When we arrived at my apartment,I paid the driver and got out.I walked inside and locked the door behind me.

I walked over to the couch and sat down,trying to process everything.

Suddenly,my phone rang.It was Liam.I hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hey,"he said,his voice soft."I just wanted to check in on you."

I laughed,feeling a mix of emotions."You're checking in on me?After what you did?"

Liam sighed."Nora,I know I hurt you.But please understand,I had to help Abby and Becca.They needed me."

I shook my head,even though he couldn't see me."You always put her first,don't you?You always choose her over me."

Liam paused,and for a moment,I thought he was going to deny it.But then he said,"I'm sorry,Nora.I don't know what to say."

I felt a tear roll down my cheek."Just be honest with me,Liam.Do you still love her?”
