My Perfect Wife, My Brother's Secret Lover Chapter 9
Kate refused to get a divorce. It wasn't until the ninth time she saw a fresh injury on my body that she finally broke down. She kneeled beside my hospital bed, handing me the divorce papers she'd signed. "Gavin, if you promise you won't hurt yourself anymore, I'll give you anything you want."She also signed over every asset in her name to me. Once I had the divorce papers, the weight lifted from my chest. Soon after, I was discharged from the hospital. From then on, I carried a small portion of Sadie's ashes inside a bracelet. Just as I'd promised her when we'd made a pinky promise together, I took her around the world to see different landscapes—mountains, oceans, rivers, and lakes… Kate followed me the entire journey, clinging to me like a stubborn parasite I couldn't shake no matter how many times I tried. Eventually, I simply treated her as though she weren't there. I stopped paying her any attention.As we traveled, the wounds in my heart slowly began to heal.I m

I went to the morgue to see Sadie, who was laid inside a crystal coffin. Kate had told me that I could make all the arrangements for Sadie's funeral myself. I ran my fingertips over the cold crystal surface, staring at Sadie's pale, lifeless face. My heart felt as though it were being torn apart. Slowly, I bent down and wrapped my arms around the coffin, as if somehow my body heat could pass through the crystal and warm her again.Kate stood at the doorway, watching me with a grief-stricken expression. She didn't dare come inside. After all, she was a monster who hadn't even been willing to take her own daughter to the hospital before she died. What right did she have to see her now?I stayed in the morgue for so long that the sun was already beginning to set when I finally stood up."Don't worry, Sadie," I whispered, pressing my face against the coffin. "Daddy will live on. I still have to take you out into the world and show you everything it has to offer."…The surveil

"Once Gavin wakes up, I'll take him overseas and leave this place behind," Kate announced. "There's nothing here but painful memories."As for you…"She paused. Guilt and reluctance flashed in her eyes as she looked at Gideon, but there was no trace of love left. "My law firm, my money—you can have all of it. I owe you that much."But I can't spend the rest of my life wronging Gavin any more than I already have."A crisp sound sliced the air as Gideon struck Kate across the face. "You bitch!" The words escaped him before he could stop them, yet he stubbornly lifted his chin. "Do you really think Gavin will still leave with you when he wakes up? You betrayed him and slept with his own brother. You even got his daughter killed!"If I were him, I'd be dying to tear you apart with my bare hands!"Kate, wake up. I'm the only one who still loves you now!"Kate remained where she was, completely still. She let Gideon rage at her, curse her, and even hit her. Only when he finall

It was only then that Gideon hurried over, saying, "Kate, it's okay." His eyes were red as he crouched down and pulled her into his arms. "Even without Gavin, you'll still have me," he said gently. "After all, wasn't Gavin making this choice for our sake? Maybe, for him, staying alive would only have been another kind of torment."Look. The two people he trusted most—his wife and his brother—betrayed him."He dug his fingernails into his palm. It hurt, but beneath the pain came a sense of satisfaction.Gideon actually witnessed the moment Sadie was hit by the car. Yet out of selfishness, he hadn't wanted Kate to save her. He'd spent all these years by Kate's side without ever having a proper place in her life. Why shouldn't he be selfish just this once?As long as Sadie died, there was no way Kate and I were ever getting back together again. After more than 20 years as brothers, he knew me better than anyone. The moment he saw me holding the knife in the hospital room, he k

Blood gushed from the wound on my chest, splattering across Kate's face. The confusion and wariness in her eyes instantly gave way to sheer terror. "Gavin!"Her hands trembled violently. In the end, she could only stumble and crawl toward the door, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Someone! Something's happened! Please, save my husband and my daughter!"At the sound of her cries, nurses came rushing in with a stretcher. The moment they saw the horrifying scene inside the room, they all drew a sharp breath. Kate stayed by my side, clutching my hand so tightly that her fingers trembled. "Gavin, you idiot!" she cried. "How could you? You can't die! You'll be fine.""Kate…" I tried to speak, but my mouth was full of blood, turning every word into a broken whisper. "Didn't you say I deserved it? Didn't you say you'd rather have watched me die back then?"Well, now you've got what you wanted. My only daughter is gone, and I'm not going to live much longer either. No one will

Kate's expression darkened, and she opened her mouth as though she wanted to say something. But Gideon stirred, his fingers twitching weakly. Kate immediately looked away from me and turned her attention back to him, gently wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tenderness I no longer recognized. Then she tossed me one cold remark. "Whatever."I took the hint and left the room, quietly closing the door behind me. Outside, I wandered the streets like a ghost. It was nearly 104 degrees, yet I couldn't stop shivering. Later, I found a lawyer and had the divorce papers drawn up. Then I packed my belongings as quickly as I could and picked Sadie up from her after-school class. "Sadie, Daddy and Mommy are going to live apart soon," I said. "Would you like to live with me from now on?"She wrapped her arms tightly around me and nodded. "Wherever Daddy goes, I'll go!" For the first time in what felt like forever, warmth seeped into my battered heart. Whatever happened, at le
