My marriage certificate with Shane Galingston was lost again. By the time we went to replace it for the ninth time, his childhood sweetheart deliberately raised her voice as she said, "Lily has been divorced eight times and has had nine abortions. She also has AIDS and syphilis… practically every vice in the book. Did you know all that?" With a loud crash, a newlywed couple sitting nearby was so startled that they fell to the floor, groaning in pain. In an instant, contemptuous and disgusted gazes poured in from all directions, pinning me in place. The icy slime of rotting refuse dripped down my face, chilling not just my skin but my heart as well. This time, I didn't hold back. I turned and walked straight toward the complaint counter. But Shane, who had stayed silent all along, suddenly grabbed my arm. He wiped the filth from my face and coaxed me in a low, gentle voice. "Don't be angry. She's just childish—she likes to fool around. She didn't mean to smear your name. "Besides, she's not targeting you. She's just throwing a tantrum at me. How could I not know what kind of person you are?" As he spoke, he shot his childhood sweetheart a helpless yet indulgent glance. "Go ahead and help us reissue—" I pushed his hand away without expression and cut him off. "No need. Let's get a divorce."

My mother tapped the screen and cast the footage.The surveillance video from the civil service exam institute made one thing unmistakably clear: it wasn't that she hadn't bothered to tutor Fleur properly—Fleur's mind had never been on her studies at all.She skipped her daytime classes and headed straight for the male dormitory. It wasn't until late at night that she staggered out, clothes rumpled, arms slung around three different men…There was no sound, yet the images struck harder than any accusation. The impact blasted Shane's mind to pieces."For a piece of trash everyone's slept with like you, I actually… actually destroyed my own child! I ruined Lily… I ruined my entire family!"The madness in Shane's eyes frightened Fleur so badly that she wet herself. She turned to run, but he grabbed her by the collar.The force nearly choked her.He seemed to care about nothing anymore. Dragging her down the hallway, he stumbled forward, refusing to let go no matter how she screamed

"My mother spent her whole life upright and principled, working steadily in the public sector for twenty years. But to help you through your crisis, she didn't hesitate for a second—she resigned her post and lowered herself to become a highly paid civil service exam instructor."Do you know how her old rivals mocked her behind her back? They said someone from a scholarly family had fallen into the trap of money. But for the sake of giving us a better life, she swallowed every bit of that humiliation!"My voice began to shake uncontrollably."And what did she get in return? On New Year's Eve, in front of all my relatives back home, you let Fleur use the filthiest words to smear her daughter…"My mother… she's always been so proud. In her entire life, no one had ever pointed at her spine and cursed her like that. How was she supposed to endure such humiliation? How could she possibly bear it?"The past replayed itself vividly.All the grievances I had buried for so long—my anger, m

I spent half a month in the obstetrics and gynecology ward.When I first woke up, it felt like I had just come back from a long, dreamlike journey, as though half my soul were still drifting in the air.After I learned that my mother had been successfully rescued and was now in stable condition, my head fell back—and I slipped into another three days of unconscious sleep.In my hazy state, warm towels gently wiped my body.The blood beneath me was cleaned away promptly, leaving almost no trace of that metallic smell.Every time I opened my eyes, there was always a bowl of warm porridge at my bedside, and Shane's grief-stricken gaze.He behaved as though he loved me desperately. He stayed by my side day and night, never leaving.Even my father, who had first greeted him with cold hostility, gradually softened.Every day, he silently brought meals to Shane, who never left my bed.But I knew my father would never utter a word of forgiveness for me.I also knew everyone was waiti

Shane's mind rang with a dull buzz, and he stood frozen in place.His thoughts clashed violently.That scream… it sounded like Lily's.But how could Lily be beaten? He had already paid twenty thousand to calm those families down. For an unborn fetus, twenty thousand should have been more than enough!He must have been imagining it—too anxious, too on edge.Even as he tried to convince himself, his hands shook uncontrollably, and his feet refused to move.He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he pulled out a bank card and shoved it roughly into Fleur's hand."Fleur, go to my mother-in-law's hospital and pay the surgery fees first. I'll wait here for Lily to come out—"Before he could finish, the mediation room door burst open with a loud bang.Two uniformed staff members, pale-faced, rushed out carrying an unconscious woman."Call an ambulance! There's so much blood!"Shane's gaze locked onto the blood soaking Lily's legs. It was as if a hammer struck his head.He f

Shane stood rigidly in place, his face livid, his fist clenched so tightly it creaked."Lily, your mother is still—"Before he could finish, Fleur cut in with a bright, ringing voice."Shane, how could she possibly divorce you? She's just threatening you."That single sentence set off a chain re

Shane reacted like a drunk cat whose tail had been stepped on—startled and guilty, he toppled backward onto the floor.Fleur kept her face tight as she hauled him up and dragged him away. When she saw that I didn't stop them this time, her smile finally bloomed, as if she had claimed total victory.
