Finally, seven years of entanglement, love, and resentment came to an end.
Thinking of this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
When I came to my senses, Joel had already carried Priscilla into a ward.
The doctor said Priscilla only had minor injuries, yet he still refused to leave her side.
One of his subordinates couldn’t stand it anymore and softly reminded him, “Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander’s condition isn’t good. Her legs were crushed. Shouldn’t you at least check on her?”
Joel hesitated for a moment, but before he could move, Priscilla pitifully clutched his hand. “Joel, I’m scared. What if I fall asleep and wake up to find my legs broken? Can you stay with me?”
As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look like a wounded little rabbit.
His heart softened instantly, and he gently reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t go anywhere.”
His subordinate stomped his foot in frustration. “Mr. Xander, Mrs. Xander’s legs are broken! Can’t you at least take a look?”
Joel snapped, “What do you expect me to do? I’m not a doctor or a nurse. Am I supposed to operate on her myself? What? Will her legs magically heal if I go?”
Each word stabbed into my heart like a dagger.
After seven years of pouring my heart and soul into this marriage, I found that, in the end, I couldn’t even get him to visit me once.
“Joel, you can finally pursue your true love openly now. There’s no longer a ‘burden’ like me standing in your way,” I murmured as a floating spirit.
His subordinate stormed off in frustration.
At that moment, Joel’s phone rang. It was Sofia calling.
“Joel, where are you? Come to the hospital quickly to visit Aurora!”
Her voice was choked with sobs, making my nose sting with emotion.
