Cramps and Cheating: A Ski Trip From Hell Chapter 10
I cried, "Philip, you can't die. You promised to be with me forever. If you die, I'll never believe in love again."The operating room light stayed on for ten hours.I sat outside the door, motionless, the entire time.Owen showed up too. He hid in a corner, watching me. And when he saw the agony I was in, guilt washed over him."Brooke, I'm sorry. This is all my fault."If he hadn't gotten involved with Sandy, none of that day's tragedy would have happened.I couldn't even be bothered to spare him a glance. He didn't even have the right to make me hate him now.At last, the operating room door opened.The surgeon emerged wearily and removed his mask, revealing a relieved smile."The surgery was a success. The blade missed by half an inch and didn't hit the heart. Dr. Gardner is going to be just fine."Those words were the last thing I heard before everything went black, and I collapsed. It was just my nerves finally giving out after being wound so tightly for so long.Whe

Owen was dressed in cheap, bargain-bin clothes, his body stooped. Not only had his hair gone gray, but his eyes were also murky and timid.He stood at the restaurant entrance, gazing at me and Philip with jealousy and regret."Brooke," he called out to me hoarsely.The security guards wanted to escort him out, but I waved them off. I was curious to see what bullshit he'd try to feed me now.Owen walked up to me and, right in front of everyone, dropped to his knees with a thud."Brooke, I know I messed up. For six months now, I haven't stopped thinking about how good you were to me, your cooking, and the turtle cushion you made me."He pulled a filthy object from inside his coat.To my disbelief, it was the pink turtle cushion I had thrown away. He must've fished it out of some garbage dump somewhere. It was tattered and worn, yet he held it in his hands like it was the most precious thing in the world."Brooke, I also found the protective charm. I sewed it back on—see, it's sti

My heart sank. Even though I had been expecting it, hearing the doctor's pronouncement still stung.After leaving the examination room, I sat on a bench in the corridor for a long time.As I watched the pregnant women drifting past, their faces radiant with happiness, my hand came to rest on my flat stomach.A life once grew there.Unfortunately, because of the car accident Owen caused, the baby left this world before even getting a chance to see it."Brooke?" A gentle voice sounded above my head.I looked up and saw a handsome face framed by a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The man, dressed in a white lab coat, looked gentle and scholarly."Philip Gardner?"Philip was my high school senior, a medical genius, and a campus celebrity back in the day. I had heard that he went abroad for further studies, so one could imagine my surprise at running into him here."It really is you." Philip smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I thought it might be you from behind. I didn't thi

The medical report read, "The patient has suffered a uterine rupture due to a car accident. Hysterectomy is recommended."Back then, in order to preserve my chance of having a child someday, I begged the doctor to perform only reconstructive surgery.But for the past three years, I had to put up with unimaginable pain every single night.Owen had forgotten all of this. Or rather, he never cared about it in the first place.I picked up a lighter and set the medical report on fire. The flames burned the paper, and along with it, my past.The ashes fell onto the carpet—just like this marriage, it all meant nothing in the end.Back in Cruxby, I quickly finalized the divorce.Owen, buried in debt and suspected of fraud, was soon taken away by the police.I heard that he kept shouting every day that he wanted to see me in the detention center, saying he knew he had messed up and that Sandy had seduced him.But I never went to visit.As for Sandy, Mr. Compton found that she not only

Seeing Owen beg like that did nothing for me. If anything, I just felt drained.I said, "Owen, it's too late. The moment you gave the turtle cushion to Sandy, it was already over between us. When you pushed me down in the snow for her sake, the Brooke who loved you died right then and there."I waved my hand. "Throw him out along with all his things."The bodyguards stepped forward and hoisted Owen up.But Owen continued to put up a fight. "Brooke, I'm your husband! This is domestic abuse! I'll sue you and take half your assets! I'm your lawful husband!"I let out a cold laugh as I listened to his final desperate outburst.He wanted to take half of my assets? Well, we would see who ended up taking from whom.Owen was thrown out of the hotel wearing nothing but a sweater.I had the bodyguards cut up all his puffer jackets and ski suits, just like how he'd trampled all over my feelings.From behind the floor-to-ceiling window, I watched him hop around in the cold like a pathetic

Owen's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground."T-The Greer family? You're the heiress of the Greer family?" he muttered to himself as all those little details he had dismissed as nothing from the past three years flashed through his mind.The "flea market watch" I had casually given him was a limited edition worth millions of dollars.The "hole-in-the-wall restaurant" I took him to was a private dining restaurant exclusive to top-tier members.He always thought I hadn't seen much of the world and was just putting on a front with the buyout money.It looked like the joke was on him."Brooke, babe." Owen's voice suddenly softened, and even the way he addressed me changed.He pushed past the bodyguards and walked toward me."You must be joking, right? After all these years together, how could you just withdraw your investment like that? Isn't this company your baby, too?"I took a step back to avoid his outstretched hand."My baby? Give me a break. If I wanted to, I co
