I finally understood why he reacted alarmingly when he saw the antidepressants.
He was afraid.
Even if it was not the same medicine, seeing it would make him think of his deceased sister

and remember that he failed in save his sister from misfortune.
So, that must have been the reason why he wanted to help me out.
I said seriously, “Ralph, we will get better in the future.”
He smiled brightly at me, but tears fell from his eyes, “Yes, we will all live well,”
When I came out of the restaurant, I saw a tall shadow and a small silhouette standing at the door.
They were my husband and son.
Actually, they weren’t related to me anymore,
I walked away from the two of them expressionlessly,
Anthony cautiously called me, “Mom…”
I turned around, looked at his frightened and guilty eyes, and let out a laugh,, “Kid, your mother is in jail. I am not your mother.”
Anthony burst into tears instantly.
It was amazing that he, who had been raised to be an old soul since he was a child, could actually have such a naive side.
Mark looked regretful, “Lily, I was wrong. I didn’t know you had gone through so much…”
Ralph couldn’t help but interjected, “How could you not know? It’s obvious that these scars were caused by you.”
Mark stared at him fiercely.
I immediately stood in front of Ralph.
That simple action dimmed all the lights in Mark’s eyes. After a while, he finally asked, “You really… Don’t want us anymore… Do you…?”
I replied, “Actually, seeing you this miserable makes me feel quite bad.”
Mark’s eyes lit up, and Anthony looked at me excitedly.
Ralph grabbed my elbow, fearing that I would lose my sanity over love again.
I said calmly, “How about this? Give me another one point five million dollars to make me feel better as compensation.”
Mark looked like he had been drained of his soul. He said bitterly, “As long as you are willing to come back to me, I am willing to give you everything I have.”
I said, “Sorry, you’re too filthy for me.”

Chapter 10
He wanted to say something else, but before he could, I took off my watch and showed him
the scars.
Seeing the panic and regret in his eyes made me sinile, “The day I cut my wrist, you were taking Sophie to our college reunion. When my blood filled the bathtub, the group was full of messages praising you for how well you two looked good together. So, Mark, why do you think I want to go back to you?”
Mark finally fled.
That night, I received 3 million dollars in compensation.
Not only that, my parents began to repent and they constantly bugged me in the hope of gaining my forgiveness.
I ignored them, so they came to the hotel and sat outside my door all day waiting for me to
come out.
They looked at me with eyes filled with tears and embarrassment.
They looked at me like I was being a mean person
I was just jaded.
So, the day I received the divorce certificate, I flew directly to another city.
From then on, I could finally get rid of the messy people in my world.
I opened a florist. The business was not exceptionally good, but it was enough to sustain my
life.
Later, Ralph also settled in this city.
Only this time, he was no longer willing to be just a friend.
The day I agreed to Ralph’s proposal, Mark had shown up..
I saw him shed tears of remorse with his foolish son.
I ignored them and touched my lower abdomen with my hand. I smiled, knowing there was a little life forming.
