Jason was determined to make Amber leave. No matter how much she cried and begged, or how much she made a scene, it was useless.
In the end, Amber attempted suicide by slitting her wrists at home.
Apparently, it was a social media follower who saw her post and called an ambulance.
When Jason came to the hospital to see Amber, he passed by a room and accidentally saw me lying on the bed inside.
Panic flashed across his face, “Are you sick?”
I closed my eyes and ignored him.
At this moment, a doctor carrying medical records came in.
“Are you Emily’s attending physician?” Jason looked at him, but his expression wasn’t friendly.
Dr. Sullivan nodded slightly, clearly reluctant to say much to him.
The three of us were high school classmates. The relationship between Dr. Sullivan and Jason had always been somewhat peculiar. They called each other good brothers, but were always competing with each other, openly and secretly.
“What’s wrong with Emily? Is it serious?” Jason asked him.
Dr. Sullivan’s face suddenly turned grim. He threw the medical records in his hand to Jason, “Brain cancer. See for yourself.”
Jason took the records, seemingly in disbelief, shaking his head painfully, “It’s impossible, impossible…”
He suddenly rushed over and hugged me, kneeling by my bedside and choking out, “It’s okay, I’ll definitely cure you. If we can’t treat it here, we’ll go abroad. Don’t be afraid, Emily. I’m with you. Everything will be fine…”
But I, looking at his crocodile tears, coldly pushed him away, “Jason, if you still have any feelings left for
“No, I won’t divorce you! Emily, I can agree to anything else, but divorce is out of the question!”
please sign the divorce papers!”
At this moment, Dr. Sullivan suddenly grabbed Jason’s collar and spoke fiercely, “Jason Quinn, Emily doesn’t have much time left. She’s suffered enough hardship and grievance with you. For the little time she has left, be a decent human being and set her free!”
Jason didn’t back down either, and they started arguing, “This is between me and her, it’s none of your business! Dr. Sullivan, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! Even if Emily dies, she can only be Jason Quinn’s wife. Her tombstone will only read ‘Here lies beloved wife Emily Carter, erected by husband Jason Quinn‘!”
With a “bang“, I threw the water glass beside me hard at Jason.
At this moment, I couldn’t hold back anymore, Crying, I shouted at him, “Jason Quinn, what have I ever done to you to deserve this treatment? You won’t let me have peace while I’m alive, and even after I’m dead, you want to trample on my dignity and taint my path of reincarnation!”
He weakly defended himself, “Emily, I didn’t… I just love you.”
“You love me, so you took Amber abroad to see the Northern Lights when I was heavily pregnant and about to give birth? You made love to her when I was fighting for my life after a miscarriage? Jason, stop saying you love me. It’s really disgusting.”
The child had always been my pain.
It wasn’t easy for me to get pregnant. Over the years, I had taken countless medications and endured numerous injections before finally conceiving.
I was already eight months pregnant then. But Jason said he had to go abroad on an urgent business trip.
On the day of my accident, I called him countless times, but no one answered.
When I finally got through, it was Amber who picked up, dismissing me with a single “Jason’s in a meeting“.
Only now did I realize how cruelly I had been deceivad,

Only now did I realize how cruelly I had been deceived.
But even now, Jason was still trying to defend himself, “Emily, there’s really nothing between me and Amber. I didn’t betray you. I never slept with her, I swear!”
“It doesn’t matter anymore! I just want a divorce! I just want to leave cleanly on my own, without any connection to you, Jason Quinn!”
I was resolute and desperate, “Jason, do I have to die right here in front of you for you to agree to the divorce?”
Great pain exploded in Jason’s eyes. His straight shoulders suddenly slumped, and he deflated like a balloon, “Emily, are you really so eager to
cut ties with me?”
I nodded without hesitation.
After a long while, he finally nodded, his voice hoarse, “Alright, I’ll divorce you.”
