Chapter 5
Yoel looked deep into my eyes, and it seemed as if he really missed me. After feeling shocked for a moment, I quickly recomposed myself. “Have you brought it?”
He was stunned for a second before asking what I meant.
I scoffed and said, “The divorce papers! All I needed was your signature, right?”
It felt like I had flipped a switch when I said that because he had a big reaction instantly. “I’m not agreeing to the divorce!”
After that, he rushed toward me and grabbed my shoulders. “I’ve been looking for you for 128 days, Felicity. Do you even know how close I am to losing my mind? How could you be so cruel to me?”
I was greeted by his scent as it surrounded me instantly. I had wanted to feel that warmth for a long time. Even at that moment, I was wavering a little. However, I remembered the accident he had orchestrated to take my kidney away for Rosa and how it killed
Remy.
So, I immediately returned to my senses. “How can you still say that to my face so shamelessly?”
Yoel instantly stopped talking, and he looked stunned. “H–Have you really found out about it?”
I closed my eyes to hide the exhaustion I felt. “You can either sign the papers or wait for me to call the police on you, Yoel. Make
your choice.”
I knew calling the police wouldn’t do anything. Firstly, I had no proof. Second of all, even if the police looked into it, Yoel had the power to get the best lawyer to get himself out of trouble.
Meanwhile, I couldn’t be certain if I could go through the long and torturous process. I might even collapse first before anything happened to Yoel and Rosa. So, my only goal at that moment was to force him to sign the divorce papers.
A lot had happened, and I could just blame myself for being blind. However, I never expected him to say no to the divorce at all.
“Go ahead and call the police. I know I was wrong. If I can get you to forgive me by being in prison, then I’ll do it. I’ll get back the
kidney you’ve lost, and we can have another child to replace the one we lost! We can start from scratch again!” O
I looked at him in disbelief. His eyes were so red that it felt like he was serious. He really was speaking from the bottom of his
heart…
Why? Why did he have to wait until that moment? It was too late for that! My heart was already broken. Even if we managed to fix
it, there would still be a hideous scar on it.
My tears rolled down like rain, and the pain I had was mixed with hatred. I pushed him away like a lunatic, telling him to get lost.
