Burn My Love to a Crisp

Stanley tightly held Sabrina Randall's hand while nervously asking the doctor, "Doctor, will this wound leave a scar? Are there any other precautions we need to take?"The doctor's gaze shifted between the two of them. His expression was somewhat awkward.As Stanley and Sabrina left the examination room, I overheard the doctor mutter quietly, "If his wife knew, she'd probably be devastated."I had already been devastated so many times that I had become numb.But I still had Lily, and Stanley was her father.I floated to Stanley's side and coldly said, "Lily is upstairs. Go see her."I knew full well that he couldn't hear me or see me. But I still stood in front of him, hoping against hope that he might hear me and go check on Lily.But even as I shouted until my voice grew hoarse, nothing changed.Sabrina tugged at Stanley's sleeve, "Maybe you should call Jaycee. She might actually be in trouble."Stanley casually replied, "What trouble could she be in? She's probably just bei

I was shocked.Who had sent the message using my phone? How could they be so familiar with me that they could even sound like me?Stanley didn't suspect anything. He sighed and called me, but his calls were rejected one after another. Then another message came through. "Don't bother me. We're getting a divorce after the baby is born."Stanley's face darkened further. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and walked out of the bathroom.Sabrina walked over and asked in concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick? You look terrible."Stanley shook his head. "If there's nothing urgent here, I'll go home first."I was a bit surprised. Normally, he would leave me alone to calm down when we argued. But now, he was actually trying to go home.Sabrina didn't say anything. Just then, there was a cry from the kitchen. She rushed over.Hannah had burned her hand. "Mommy, I wanted to make something for you and Daddy Stanley."Stanley saw it too. His expression turned stern as he scolded

I let out a sigh of relief. At least Stanley wasn't sulking enough to skip the school activity. This way, he would find out about Lily's situation.I wondered where Lily was now and how the burn on her face was.Stanley's phone buzzed again. It was a reply to his earlier message."You don't need to attend Lily's school activity. She doesn't need an irresponsible dad like you. I've already asked Harry to go with Lily. She likes him anyway."Stanley stared intently at his phone screen. His expression darkened as the air around him grew colder.He sent me a voice message, his tone seething with anger."You're trying to drive a wedge between me and Lily just so she'll get closer to Harry, aren't you? When did you start messing around with him? Do you think you can take Lily and run off with another man? Dream on!"I won't let you leave, and I'll never let Lily go to another man! If Lily wants to act this way, I'll let her feel what it's like to have no dad around."As I watched Sta

Stanley didn't arrive at the hospital until nightfall.By then, someone else was already at Lily's side—Harry Davidson.Lily seemed much better. There was a smile on her face, and she sounded excited. "Are you serious, Mr. Davidson? You'll really take me to see Mommy?"Harry hesitated before replying, "Your mom is at my house. But Lily, you need to get better first. If you're not well, your mom will be sad."Lily nodded enthusiastically. "I'll get better soon! I want to see Mommy!"Stanley's icy voice cut through the moment as he stormed across the room and grabbed Harry by the collar. "Where are you hiding Jaycee? Don't forget. She's my wife."Harry glared back and threw a hard punch. "You don't deserve to say her name. The biggest mistake I made was handing her to you.""Daddy!" Lily ran forward in a panic. "Mr. Davidson, don't hit Daddy! If you want to hit someone, hit me instead."Stanley shoved Lily away forcefully, sending her tumbling to the floor. He pointed at her and

I let out a sneer, suddenly looking forward to the dogfight between Stanley and Sabrina.As expected, Sabrina got Stanley drunk that very night. She dressed in my clothes and mimicked my appearance to seduce him.When Stanley woke up and saw Sabrina lying next to him, it took him a moment to process what had happened.Sabrina shed her usual weak and innocent demeanor and used Stanley's company to threaten him.Since Stanley let his guard down around her, she managed to steal confidential information from his company.In exchange for the company's interests, he agreed to divorce me but firmly refused to marry her.He sent me a long voice message. "We'll get divorced first. I'll transfer the assets to your name. Once everything is sorted out, we'll remarry."Before he could get a reply from me, Harry arrived with Lily."Where's Jaycee?""You need to go identify Jaycee's body, or she can't be cremated."Both Stanley and Harry spoke at the same time.Stanley froze. His voice tre
