I didn’t know whether Agnes or I was more important to Kenneth.
“Kenneth, maybe you should check on Irene. It’s been so many days. I’m fine now anyway.”
“Lie down and rest. What do you mean you’re fine? Your condition relapsed because of her, and you’ve only just started recovering. Have you forgotten how much you suffered?
You don’t need to worry about her. I know what I’m doing. A few days in there won’t hurt her. I want her to remember this lesson well.”
Every time Agnes offered to compromise, it hurt Kenneth’s heart.
Meanwhile, I had to bear the betrayal and false accusations alone.
“Please, I’m begging you. For my sake, go see her. I don’t want you two to keep growing further apart because of me.
“The more you do this, the more guilty I’ll feel!”
Kenneth remained silent. Agnes couldn’t read his expression. She waited for a long time before cautiously asking, “What is it? What’s the problem?”
“Nothing. I just think I should bring a doctor along this time. It’s been so many days. I don’t know what she might have done to herself. I have a bad feeling about this.”
I was forced to watch everything from above.
Kenneth’s sudden unease made me wonder what kind of game he was playing.
Since he thought of bringing a doctor along, he probably assumed I would go to extreme lengths just to keep up the act.
With a doctor present, it would also be easier to confirm my cause of death.
I really wanted to see the look on his face once he found out I was dead.
Agnes patted Kenneth on the back. He lowered his head and let out a bitter laugh.
“If only Irene were half as understanding as you. She’s too stubborn. She refuses to suffer even the slightest loss.”
“She’s your wife, after all. She’s afraid I’ll take you away, so she overpowers me and pushes me down. It’s all because of you. It proves she loves you.”
Kenneth glanced at Agnes and let out a scoff.
“If she truly loved me, she should understand why I’m treating her this way. She should have apologized long ago!”
I watched Agnes from above. A wave of resentment rose in my heart.
I had never wanted to compete with her for Kenneth. I had witnessed how they grew up with a strong bond.
After I had learned of her existence, I even regarded her as a younger sister.
