My husband, a regiment commander, once promised me he'd only accompany his depressed first love ninety-nine times. But when I finally reached that ninety-ninth tally, I saw the two of them locked in a tight embrace. After that, I stopped crying and begging him not to go to her. I only asked him for a safety locket—a small blessing for our soon-to-be-born child. At the mention of the baby, his expression softened. "When I get back," he said gently, "I'll go with you to the hospital for the checkup." I nodded obediently. I didn't tell him that ten days earlier, I had already filed for divorce. Now, our divorce was final.

Unfortunately, none of this had anything to do with me anymore.On the other side of town, Quentin returned home."Cammy! Cammy! I know I was wrong, Cammy! I'm sorry! I bought the locket you wanted! Cammy!"But no matter how loudly he called, no one answered.Panic surged up his spine.He searched the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom…They were all empty.A sudden thought struck him. He opened the wardrobe. Half the clothes were gone.Everything that belonged to me had disappeared, except for one white dress, the one he bought for our wedding.I was nineteen then. I had said to him, "Quentin, when we get married, can you buy me a white dress?"He agreed.And on our wedding day, I did wear that beautiful white dress.But our marriage brought no happiness.Quentin remembered that day too. I had my hair in braids, cheeks flushed with shy warmth. In front of both families, I placed my hand in his.I said, "Quentin, from now on, we're a family."The cheerful scene still

Rita immediately crouched down, trying to hide the string around her ankle."I… it's nothing…"Quentin's expression darkened, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Where's the locket I told you to keep? Take it out."Her eyes dropped, guilty and evasive. "Quentin… it's just a locket. I—""I'll say this one last time. Take it out."A storm gathered in his eyes as he stared at her.Panic finally washed over Rita. She stumbled to her feet and backed away, the locket exposed at her ankle— It was the one he had bought.Quentin lunged forward and yanked the locket off her ankle. His fingers dug tightly into his palm."Nurse… earlier you said Cammy was here?" His voice was strained.Lily frowned."Cammy? Cammy Mason? Yes, she came by. I saw her leaving this room in the hallway—that's what prompted me to come here in the first place."Rita shot her a glare, then quickly forced a sweet smile, reaching for Quentin's hand."Quentin… I fell asleep. I didn't know Cammy came."But Quentin said no

If the book had flown even a little farther, it would've hit her eye."What happened, Lily?" The head nurse carefully dabbed disinfectant over the wound while speaking with obvious concern.Lily Altman had joined the hospital staff earlier that year. She was only nineteen and unmarried. Now she had an injury on her face. If it scarred, it could even affect her future prospects for marriage.Lily understood that too. Her eyes reddened the moment she saw the head nurse."Mrs. Grant, she's the one who threw something at me." She pointed at Rita, looking thoroughly wronged.The head nurse's expression chilled."Miss, don't you have anything to say for yourself? We live in a cultured society. Hurting people without cause carries consequences."Rita had calmed down by then. Panic flickered in her eyes at the head nurse's words. Instinctively, she looked toward Quentin, hoping he would defend her.Catching her gaze, Quentin moved to speak for her out of habit."Rita didn't mean it. S
