She Wouldn't Do "It" Chapter 12
Lindsey woke the next evening.When she opened her eyes, she saw me sitting at the bedside. Her pale face strained into a faint smile."George… you don't need to worry. I'm fine."I didn't return the sentiment. My voice was cold."Lindsey, are you out of your mind? If you hadn't lunged at me, I would have already kicked that lunatic away. Even if I hadn't, I had plenty of time to dodge him."During those three years abroad, aside from experiments, I had spent every spare moment in the gym, practicing Sanda.Judging by that man's small, weak frame, he posed no threat to me. If Lindsey hadn't blocked me, he would have been flat on the floor long ago.Her expression fell, hurt and confused."I just didn't want you to get hurt.""Lindsey, you didn't need to do that. And don't think that standing in the way of a knife for me earns forgiveness. From the moment you lied about having a phobia to avoid physical contact, to when you said seeing me made you want to vomit… we were already

I knew coming back meant I'd eventually have to face Lindsey. I hadn't planned on avoiding her. What I didn't expect was to run into her at the very first industry gathering I attended after returning home.She sat across the round table, eyes rimmed red, staring at me as if I might vanish the moment she blinked.I had no desire to get entangled with her again. Just as I turned to leave, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.We ended up in the garden. Lindsey buried her face against my chest, breathlessly whispering over and over, "I'm sorry."I tried to push her off. Finally, my patience snapped. I tipped the champagne in my glass over her head."Are you sober now? If not, I don't mind calling everyone out to watch."She wiped the dripping champagne from her face. Her eyes looked clearer, but her expression had sunk into ruin."I know everything Ian did—those texts he sent you behind my back, my grandfather's hospitalization. I was blind and foolish. I've already driven

I had just finished packing my luggage for going abroad. Before I could even send Lindsey a message, she showed up at my door.Her eyes were bloodshot, her whole body radiating hostility as she glared at me."Was it you who sent those photos of me and Ian to my grandfather?"I frowned, puzzled."What are you talking about?""George, stop pretending. If you hadn't told my grandfather about my affair, he wouldn't have collapsed at home from a heart attack! If Ian hadn't happened to notice something was wrong, I don't even dare to imagine what would've happened!"Only then did her words click, and my heart tightened in my chest.I had considered telling her grandfather about the affair, hoping he could knock some sense into her. But the old man had a heart condition, and I was afraid the shock would be too much. So I swallowed the thought and never acted on it."Lindsey, if you're going to frame me, at least put some thought into it. I'm a doctor. No matter how much I hate you, I'

"Why shouldn't I sell it? What's the point of keeping it? It's an eyesore," I said flatly. "In a couple of days, the agent will bring buyers to view the place. If you still have anything left inside, you can collect it then."Lindsey's eyes reddened instantly, a flicker of sorrow glinting in their depths.In the past, whenever we argued, that look alone would melt my resolve, even when I wasn't at fault.But I had come to realize that the tears she shed for me could just as easily be shed for another man.I turned to leave.Yet she couldn't let me walk away so easily. She stepped forward, hurriedly blurting, "We'll have to change the date for picking up the divorce certificate. Something urgent has come up. I don't have time to go in person."She studied the flicker of unease on my face and smiled with satisfaction."Lindsey, do you find this kind of joke amusing? No matter how busy you are, you'll be at the courthouse on time. I don't have the patience or energy to keep draggin

Lindsey frowned. "In a few days, I'll find another place for Ian to stay. As for his rent, I'll have my secretary transfer the money to you later."I shrugged. "Fine. I've already packed up everything. Whatever's left, throw it away if you want. Don't forget, we still have to meet here at the courthouse in a month."With that, I turned to leave.But Lindsey suddenly spoke. "Last night… Ian wasn't there because of me. I didn't know he'd come to pick me up. I was drunk out of my mind, and when he happened to call, Richard was in a rush to meet his girlfriend. So he asked Ian to send me home.""Lindsey, you don't need to explain. That's your business, not mine—and I'm not interested."Her face stiffened, her expression darkening further.…The next morning, I boarded a plane to Gallergohe City.Professor Ryder had called the night before, asking me to take his place at a week-long academic exchange.It was the perfect excuse to get away. With everything piling up lately, I felt s

The moment Lindsey saw me, her expression shifted. Her brows relaxed, and for a fleeting second, a glimmer of triumph crossed her face. Yet she kept her features composed, refusing to meet my eyes.Only then did I notice the empty table.Richard quickly jumped in. "George, Lindsey's been waiting for you this whole time. She wouldn't even order the food without you here."I suddenly remembered a message Lindsey had sent before I left work. I hadn't opened it in my rush to leave."Come, sit down, George. I'll have the waiter bring the food right away."At some point, Lindsey had moved her handbag, leaving the seat beside her empty—clearly waiting for me.Richard was about to fetch the waiter when I stopped him. "No need. I came with colleagues, and I'm heading back. Besides…" I glanced at Lindsey, my tone even, "…Lindsey and I will soon be divorced. I won't be your brother-in-law soon."I hadn't even finished before Lindsey snapped, her voice sharp and cutting, as if the very word
