Chapter 8

Author: Forestry
Ivy's face darkened the instant she saw me. With a mockery in her eyes, she scanned me from top to bottom.

In high heels, she strutted over and snatched my hat away. She burst out laughing the next instant. I was overcome with humiliation as I took in the scornful expression on her face.

Ivy covered her nose, seemingly repulsed by my appearance. She began making various derisive comments.

"Sienna Jameson, you already lost all your hair? Hahaha! You should take a look at yourself in the mirror and see how horrible you look now.

"You awful wench! Why didn't you just go ahead and take your own life? You must be doing this on purpose! I hate you to the core. Derek hasn't been himself ever since you left. Why aren't you dead yet?"

Ivy pointed to me and yelled at me furiously. Her chest heaved with anger.

I bent forward slightly because of an immense pain in my lower abdomen.

Unfortunately for me, I kept running into Ivy every time I visited the hospital for a check-up. She would alwa

  • So Long and Farewell—Forever   Chapter 10

    Using my staff for support, I walked slowly yet steadily toward the room for chemotherapy.Fortunately, I can still eat and walk now. It probably would not be long before I had to be confined to a hospital bed with numerous tubes and needles stuck to my dying body.I did not want to see Derek's face at all during the final moments of my life. So, I halted and turned around."Derek, I'll give you two options. The first one is to come with me to the courthouse and complete the divorce procedures now. The second option is that I'll file for a divorce lawsuit. Take your pick."Derek felt as though everything had fallen apart when he heard those words.A few minutes later, a group of policemen showed up at the hospital. Both Derek and Ivy were escorted away.Ivy yelled several profanities at me again when she walked past me. Her hair was messy and disheveled. She seemed a little mentally unstable at that point.Derek begged to have a chance to accompany me when I went for my check-up

    Derek was trembling all over as Ivy held his hand.She said in a shaky voice, "Derek, don't do this… I can't lose you. Do you not want to marry me anymore? I'm pregnant with your child!""Ivy, I need to stay with Sienna until she's cured of her illness." Derek looked at her calmly.Ivy shook her head. She refused to accept what he just said."Derek, you're lying! Were you lying too when you made those promises to me? I gave up everything to be with you. Yet, is this how you're going to treat me? I hate you! I hate you!"For a moment, I was lost in thought as I stared at Ivy. I would say that she was also a victim in this situation.It was all because Derek had reassured her with all kinds of promises that she took the risk and gave up everything just to be with him.However, the only person Derek loved was himself. No matter how much time he had spent with someone, Derek would stop loving that person the instant those feelings in him diminished."Why? I only agreed to get pregn

    "Sienna, we shouldn't end our relationship just like this. I just want to stay with you for the time being and help you get better."Everything he said sounded empty and meaningless to me now. I took in the lost, troubled look on his face. Derek's lips were trembling. It made me wonder if he truly felt guilty toward me."I have considered getting a divorce, but I've never actually made up my mind to do it. I would have handed you the divorce agreement early on if I truly did not love you, Sienna. Can you really give up on our nine-year-long relationship just like that?"What's more, you're suffering from a chronic illness. You need me by your side! I can't possibly leave you all by yourself in your current condition."I retorted, "Didn't you say it yourself, though? Ivy has given up everything to be with you, and you owe her a real home. She's pregnant with your child now. Are you going to abandon her instead?"I've already made up my mind, so don't bother trying to persuade me ot

    It was Ivy.It appeared Derek had brought her back to his house. I could not help but wonder why he would even bother calling me and asking me to go back to him now."Sienna, Derek has worked tirelessly for the past few weeks just to get a few days off to be with you. Yet, you're causing a fuss and even making up lies about having ovarian cancer. You shouldn't do this to Derek, who's done so much for you."Ivy's soft and sweet voice sounded so fake that I found it repulsive. She and Derek should know better than anyone why I was doing this now."Do the two of you not find it tiring to have to keep up with this act? Derek, you were the one who wanted a divorce. Why do you not want to proceed with it now that I've agreed to it too?"I've already signed the divorce agreement. I'll meet you at the courthouse to complete the procedures once it's convenient for you."I hung up right after saying that. It felt liberating being able to share what I had on my mind.Derek was in love with

    I rubbed my eyes. The phone that had been vibrating ceaselessly was making me feel more and more frustrated.Derek had been calling me non-stop. In the end, I had no choice but to answer the phone.His anxious voice sounded on the line."You're just trying to act like you won't ever come home, aren't you? Do you think doing something like that is going to make me feel guilty? Also, who gave you the right to go through my things on the bookshelf? I won't acknowledge the divorce agreement!"Derek did not allow me any chance to cut him off.He was the person who wanted a divorce the most. I could not fathom why Derek was suddenly blaming and asking me now why I had signed the agreement.I let out a deep sigh and tried my best to endure the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. I haven't had much of an appetite lately. Sometimes, I would even observe abnormal bleeding. I could tell that I did not have much time left.I interrupted Derek in a calm voice, "I just think that it's bet

    When he did not get any response from me, Derek knitted his brows and let out a sigh. Then, he asked cautiously, "Are you feeling upset?"It turned out he was not completely blind.I forced a smile. "No, I'm not. It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night."The atmosphere was growing tense gradually. Ivy dropped her gaze briefly. Suddenly, she leaned toward Derek's chest."I'm sorry, Derek. I shouldn't have troubled you in the first place. It's all my fault that Sienna's ended up in a bad mood now."Derek instinctively placed his arm around Ivy's shoulders and pulled her closer. His voice was tinged with concern."It's fine. You didn't do anything wrong. Why should you feel bad asking for help from a long-time friend? It's not like we did anything wrong."The two of them completely ignored me as they gazed into each other's eyes longingly.I averted my gaze from them and decided to walk past them. I had only taken a few steps forward when Derek caught hold of my arm.

    I placed the divorce agreement on the coffee table in the living room. Derek would probably be very pleased to see it once he returned home.Leaving the house I had lived in for nine years still made me feel a bit sad.The phone in my pocket vibrated just then. It was a text message from my doctor asking me to visit the hospital for another check-up. I suppressed the turbulent emotions inside me.I took a cab to get to the hospital. Somehow, Derek's face came into my mind. I wondered how he would feel when he eventually saw the divorce agreement.Yet, just as I lifted my gaze, I spotted the person that had been on my mind all the way. Derek stood outside the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology department. Ivy Andrews was standing right beside him.Derek circled his arms around Ivy and lightly brushed the tip of her nose with his finger. The two of them looked like a happy, loving couple.Perhaps it was because I was staring at them intently, Derek soon noticed me. He hurr

    By midnight, the noises coming from the living room had died down. I lay curled up on the bed and stared blankly into space. Tears streamed down my cheeks despite my efforts to hold them back.I picked up the photo frame placed on the bedside table and traced my finger along the outline of our faces, hoping to feel the warmth and happiness captured in the photo.I smiled bitterly. Derek had blocked me from viewing his social media account. He had to since he could not possibly let me find out he was openly expressing his love for someone else.I thought that Derek had loved me for my pureness and innocence. Yet, it turned out what he liked about me was the complete faith I had in him. I was completely oblivious for the past nine years.My gaze fell on his tablet. After keying in Ivy's birthday, I managed to get the tablet unlocked.I felt as though sharp knives were driven into my heart as I scrolled through Derek's social media account.Every year during our wedding anniversary,
