A Grain Of Sand In My Eyes

“That’s great, Zach!” But after a brief period of excitement, I heard hesitation and worry. “But you have to think about this carefully. If you join us, that means that you will forever be stationed in Tubo, and you will hardly have time to meet your family. What about Ms. York—”Before he could finish speaking, I had already answered firmly, “I’ve thought it through.”“Alright. We’ll pick you up in three days.”Once I hung up, I started packing up. We had been married for eight years and had decorated everything in the house together. When she gave her entire salary to Harry, I said nothing about it and simply worked hard to put food on the table. As I stared at the house we worked hard together to manage, I found that my home was nothing but a dream. Belle walked in just then. When she saw me packing up, she thought that I was throwing a tantrum and running away from home. “You always pull such childish tricks. If you don’t want the baby, just say it. Harry is badly injure

“Why? Belle has a reserved bed here. This is her mother-in-law. How can you say that there are no beds here?” I lost my composure. The nurse answered timidly, “Ms. York came here just now and admitted her brother-in-law. That’s why the bed is occupied.”I turned my head stiffly and saw Harry lying in the reserved bed. He was eating a peeled slice of apple. Belle was sitting by his bed anxiously and giving him water. She looked more like his wife than she did mine. Alas, my appearance destroyed the harmonious atmosphere they had going. “Belle, my mom—”“Why did you follow me here?! Harry’s wound reopened because of what you said! Had we gotten here any later, he might have lost his legs!” Belle interrupted me furiously. Harry had picked up another slice of apple and was chewing at it languidly. No matter what, he did not appear to be in a medical emergency. Belle then shoved me out of the ward and locked the door. I trembled like a leaf and could only think of ways to get

“What?!” Belle swayed, and she nearly collapsed. “Why would he go to provide aid to Tubo all of a sudden? That place is horrible! How can he stand to be in that place alone?!”Mark Newton, the person who had brought the news to her, finally caught his breath. “Mr. Grant personally made the call and said that he would not come back.”Belle collapsed backward onto her couch the very next second. It was painful to imagine just how much despair Zach must have been in to say those things. “No! I refuse to believe that he’s abandoning me! Get the jeep ready. I’m going to find him!”Mark quickly tried to convince her otherwise. “But the research center needs you! You need to follow up on an important project, so you can’t leave now.”At that moment, Belle’s eyes pooled with tears. Feeling wistful, Belle stared at the empty room and found herself unable to say anything. She had thought that Zach would be able to accept the child born between her and Harry, due to her belief that Zach

“What on earth are you saying? When have you suffered to such a degree when you were with me? You will not be able to last until the end!” Belle was staring at me with eyes full of pity, as if she really could not stand the thought of me suffering, but she did not know that my days here had been the happiest and the most meaningful in my life. In the past, she had always prioritized Harry, and my needs were always second place to her. When I saw her taking care of Harry’s every need, I was always sad. I had argued about this with her before, but she always brought Adriana out as her defense. “Before Adriana passed away, she asked me to take care of Harry. Stop being paranoid.”Yet the truth showed that things were not innocent between them, and I was not a man “who simply enjoyed life,” as she claimed. I laughed. “Shouldn’t you be happy that I stepped aside for Harry? Get the divorce procedure done and deal with it. Stop pretending to be loyal here.”My words seemed to have hurt
