All Chapters of My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift : Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

David didn’t try to fix it with excuses. He didn’t point out details or plead his case. He simply stood there and let the weight of her anger and truth press into him. For a moment he looked smaller not weaker, but somehow more human, like a man faced with the clear account of what he had done and no clean way to deny it.Lily felt something in her chest shift. The years of storing up hurt,the small humiliations, the long silences, the times she’d swallowed shame so she could keep a job, a shelter all of it pooled into this one storm of argument. She had wanted him to hurt, to see. She had wanted him to know that his actions had consequences beyond his own anger.“You think saying ‘you’re right’ makes it okay?” she asked, the words a little softer now, but no less fierce. “A word can’t fix what you did. A word can’t give me back those years. It can’t give me the respect you stole.”He swallowed, the sound hollow in the quiet kitchen. His expression tightened, and for the first time sh

After some time, she stopped in front of a quiet bar on the edge of the city. The neon sign flickered weakly, and faint music floated out from inside. She turned off the engine, sat there for a moment, then grabbed her bag and stepped out.The night breeze brushed against her face as she walked in. All she wanted was a drink something to quiet her thoughts, even for a little while.Lily opened the door to the bar, and the soft bell above it rang out. The atmosphere inside was heavy with the scent of alcohol and smoke, with traces of perfume and laughter. It was not full just a handful of patrons, sitting by themselves at the bar and in small groups at the tables.She entered slowly, clicking her heels on the wooden floor. The light was low, golden, almost soothing after the day. She went directly to the counter and sat in the corner, far from the others.“What would you like, miss?” the bartender inquired with a polite smile.“Something strong,” said Lily gently.The man nodded and po

“Jabco… you were right…”The words froze the air in the room. David’s eyes darkened, the silence thick enough to break.He stared at her for a long time before speaking, his voice calm but heavy.“Who did you just call out?”He didn’t shout, but that quiet tone was even more frightening. Lily didn’t answer. Her eyes stayed closed, maybe pretending to sleep or maybe truly asleep.David touched her chin gently but firmly, trying to wake her. “Lily, who were you talking to just now?”Her eyes fluttered open. Still half-dreaming, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and whispered in a broken voice, “Jabco… I should’ve listened to you and left. I regret it so much…”David’s expression changed. “Run away? With Jabco? Regret?”No one answered. Only her soft sobs filled the room.His hands curled into fists at his sides. “For five years, you said nothing. And now you regret it?” His voice trembled with suppressed anger.Lily blinked through the tears, slowly realizing who stood in front o

Later, doctor shift, Lily to private ward and then David got chances to see her.David entered the private ward with caution. The gentle beeps emanating from the equipment in the room contrasted with the silence. His eyes found her, lying in the hospital bed with her pale skin, unmoving, her mouth parched, her arm extended weakly by her side.He froze. He had trouble breathing. He swallowed, his throat closing. He took another step, his heart throbbing in his chest. He had seen her hurt before, but never like this. He had never seen her injured in such a way, not this fragile, not this lifeless.He moved the chair closer and sat down beside her. Reaching out with his shaky hand, he pushed a few strands of hair away from her forehead. Her skin was cold to the touch, and he could feel his heart ache.“Lily…” he breathed, his voice just barely intact. “Why would you do this to yourself?”There was no response, only the g

Later, Roy came by with food. She barely eats, after one or two small bites, she set it down again. The food tasted like nothing in her mouth. Her stomach twisted, not from nausea, but from the storm of emotions eating her from inside. She didn’t say a single word to anyone.David watched her quietly from the side. The silence was killing him. He wanted to say something, anything but every time he looked at her face, he couldn’t find the words.Later in the evening, he finally said, “I’ll be outside. If you need anything… just call me, okay?”She didn’t answer. Didn’t even look at him. He waited, hoping she might at least glance his way, but she stayed still, eyes fixed on nothing. So, with a heavy sigh, David turned and walked out.The door closed behind him with a soft click.Only then did Lily turn her head toward the door. For a moment, she just stared at it, and then she pressed her lips tightly
