Looking at the surprised expression on his face, I felt a sense of pleasure in my heart.
I let Ethan continue to cry behind me:
"Vivian, what exactly do you want me to do so that I won't divorce you? What did I do wrong?"
I turned and left without looking back.
I stayed in the institute for the next few days.
After Ethan was humiliated by me that day, he never sent me anything again.
My world became much quieter until the fifth day, when I just finished my research and received a call from my mom:
"You rebellious girl, you never answered the phone. Did you know that your dad was in a car accident? Ethan fainted to donate blood for your dad and hasn't woken up yet."
I rushed to the hospital. Ethan had already woken up and was helped to sit up by my mother. When he saw me, his eyes lit up and he grabbed my hand.
"Vivian, I know you mind the fact that I donated bone marrow to Serena. You think I would do anything for her."
"But actually, for you and your family, I can do the same. I really want to live a good life with you. Can we not get divorced?"
My expression remained unchanged. I pulled my hand out with all my strength and said coldly:
"I didn't force you to donate blood. Don't be so sentimental. I'm going to divorce you."
Before Ethan could say anything, my mom rushed over and slapped me:
"You bastard, do you know what you're saying? Ethan saved your dad. If it weren't for Ethan, your dad might be dead."
"Ethan couldn't hold on any longer after just 400ml of fluid was drawn out, but for your dad, he insisted on letting the doctor draw it out. How could I have given birth to such a bastard like you!"
My mother sat on the ground, crying and slapping her thighs.
I felt uncomfortable watching this, but I didn't know how to comfort her. After all, if anything unexpected happened, I would rather she pretend that she didn't have me as her son.
Ethan's eyes were completely dimmed, and he looked at me disappointedly.
"Vivian, you want a divorce, then I will grant you that."
"Go to Sterling Family Manor tomorrow and sign in front of everyone. Let everyone see that it's not me who has let you down, it's you who has let me down."
"You only have this one chance. If you don't come, forget about getting a divorce."
He spoke with certainty, I just nodded faintly and turned to leave.
I leaned back in my chair tiredly, but those eyes kept flashing through my mind.
The snake at home stood not far from me in a hunting posture at night, staring at me with its eyes, as if it was going to bite my throat in the next second.
These days, I often dream about that snake. Every time I wake up from it, I get covered in cold sweat.
Suddenly, my phone lit up and a message popped up on the screen:
"I have solved your problem for you. You don't need to panic anymore."
The huge stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and I thanked the master very much, as if I had been reborn.
Tomorrow, everything will be settled.
The next morning, I went to Sterling Family Manor calmly. My father, who was supposed to rest in bed, was also supported by my mother.
They wanted to stop this farce, but I didn't listen at all.
As I expected, the snake followed and wrapped itself around Ethan's arm.
It's also funny that a person who used to faint when seeing a snake now dares to have close contact with snakes. It's really a great miracle.
"Vivian, you're finally here. I thought you regretted it."
The excitement in Ethan's eyes couldn't be hidden, and the same could be said for the snake in his hand. His eyes were fixed on me, as if he was sure of winning.
