He Loved Me as His Life 9
Upon waking again, all I saw was a sea of white. The nurse told me I had a fractured arm and some superficial abrasions, but my husband was in critical condition. Perhaps the nurse felt that, as a wife, I should be anxious and worried about my husband's condition in the emergency room. So, when I expressed my desire to get some fresh air, she led me to the emergency room where Wynn was.I stared blankly at the continuously lit red light above the door, saying nothing. The nurse by my side looked at me with concern and said, "Don't worry too much. The surgeon in there is the most experienced doctor in our hospital. The driver who lost control and crashed into you all was also saved by him. Your husband will be fine."I tugged at the corner of my mouth and replied, "Hmm."Perhaps she found me too indifferent, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. She made an excuse and left.My mind is in turmoil now. Why did Wynn risk his life to protect me in that crisis? Was it love? Bu

However, the well-behaved Lucy he spoke of didn't seem to be an obedient and docile girl. The next day, she came to the hospital.I still remember it was a sunny afternoon with a gentle breeze. Wynn had gone to the bathroom. Normally, it should have been my duty to help him since he was injured all over, but I just didn't want to. I thought he could manage a bit on his own despite the inconvenience he would face.I was leisurely eating an apple peeled by one of the nurses and watching the latest variety show on my tablet when she arrived. Her eyes were red, and she was panting, pushing the door open anxiously, saying, "Wynn."We locked eyes just as I was sitting on the couch. For a moment, the air felt as lifeless as ashes. It only lasted a few seconds, and I averted my gaze, staring at the screen, and spoke indifferently, "He's in the bathroom."Perhaps my attitude had provoked her. Lucy, her feathers ruffled like an angry chicken. "He's injured, and you don't even take care of

After knowing that I was going to hand over the evidence in my hand to Lucy's academy, Wynn, who had been unresponsive and refused to divorce, took the initiative to contact me after a long time.I sat, and after a moment of silence, Wynn spoke, "Suzy...""You don't want me to report it, do you?"I raised my gaze to this man and let out a sarcastic laugh. "Give me a reason?"He nervously pinched his fingers and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Lucy... she's only twenty years old. She's so young and still in school. If she's kicked out because of this, her life will be destroyed."All of this is my fault, my mistake, it's my foolishness that caused all of this."Suzy, can you, for the sake of me risking my life to save you earlier, please..."He didn't finish his sentence.I lowered my gaze. My heart, which had been silent like stagnant water, still hurt upon hearing these words. We had known each other for years, and I had always thought we would be together for a lifetime.

I should be like other women and carefully reminisce about the past with Wynn.However, I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for it now. While the memories from before were indeed beautiful, they had also been tainted.I didn't want the happiness and beauty of the past to be defiled. Let it remain in the past, for the Suzy of that time. The Suzy of today must live for herself. Life is not just about the present hardships; it also encompasses the beauty and inspiration found in poetry and the allure of distant places and experiences.…….The divorce progressed smoothly. After signing the papers, I left the office without any turning back. It was a perfect day with a gentle breeze, much like the rest of my life from that point forward.The property division followed the agreement: I got eighty percent, he got twenty percent. The company's shares were all converted into cash and transferred to my account. As for the house, I left the recently renovated villa we had just moved into not l

After the original studio contract expired, I chose to invest and open my own studio. I even organized an art exhibition. Seeing those paintings with my signature being admired and praised by more people, at that moment, the void in my soul, which had been empty for a long time, was finally filled again.I just wanted to live in peace, but I didn't know what madness possessed Lucy. She came to cause trouble for me, even ruining a piece of artwork that I was about to submit to a client the next day."Suzy, why don't you just die already? If it weren't because of you, why wouldn’t Wynn want to marry me?"I'm young and vibrant, much better than you in every way. You're an old hag without any self-awareness."It had been a long time since I had seen her, and Lucy no longer had the lively, cute, and innocent look from her photos. Her face was contorted, her skin dull, and she had lost all her charm.Seeing her in this state, my smile grew even brighter."Young and vibrant? Then why haven

In the middle of the night, Wynn, who was lying beside me, called out softly, "Suzy."Suzy, are you asleep?"With no response from me for a while, he quietly got out of bed.He stepped onto the balcony, braving the cold wind as he made a phone call."Why aren't you sleeping yet? It’s already so late at night."I know, but the divorce isn't as straightforward as you might think."You’re a good girl. I'll handle it properly."Just a wall away.My husband, who professed his love and pity for me, was now gently reassuring his mistress."Alright, go to sleep. I'll come see you early tomorrow morning, okay?"Wynn's voice, filled with helplessness and indulgence, trickled into my ears one after another."You really can't bear to have me out of your sight for even a moment."He had said similar words to me before.My mother, a government employee with old-fashioned conservative values. When I was born, she had hoped for a son, believing it would win back the heart with my father, who often str
