I looked down and realized there was a cut across the back of my hand. I had no idea when I'd gotten it.When I didn't answer, Samuel let out a soft sigh and pulled me into his arms."Alright, that's enough. You've hit me, so you should be over it by now. Stop crying."Besides, I never intended to stay married to her. It's just a piece of paper. I'll divorce her soon enough."Jessie grew up being spoiled. She's fun to fool around with, but actually living with her? Just keeping her happy would wear me out."He paused and softened his voice."But you're different, Regina."You never cause me any trouble. Being with you doesn't take so much effort. You'll make a good wife."Come next month, we'll get remarried. Your mom has always wanted to see you married, right? I'll even give you a grand wedding–"Before he could finish, his phone buzzed again.One glance at the screen, and a smile immediately appeared on his face."Jessie wants a cake from that bakery on the west side of t

I was woken up by the voices outside my ward."Is that her? She looks so innocent. Never would've guessed she'd go that far just to get rid of her own baby.""Seriously. Paying people to do that to herself? That's a new one. Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover."My heart skipped a beat. With trembling hands, I picked up my phone.Photos of me being forcibly posed in humiliating positions went viral on the internet.The whispers outside the door merged with the insults flooding my screen.My heart pounded so hard that I began hearing buzzing sounds in my head.Bang!The door was pushed open again. The attending physician came in and spoke in an anxious voice."Ms. Sullivan, your mom saw the viral posts online. The shock caused her condition to worsen. She needs surgery immediately. You have to make the payment now!"I stared blankly at him. Several seconds passed before his words finally registered.Mom was still waiting for me.At that thought, I mechanically w

Samuel's eyes went wide. For a moment, he was speechless."I just said that offhand. Who told you idiots to actually obey everything she said?"Get those photos and those posts scrubbed clean before sunrise. If they're still up by morning, don't bother coming back."And once the specialists from abroad arrive, send someone to check on Regina's mother. I heard her condition isn't stable."Only after his subordinates hurriedly agreed and fled did he finally slump against the wall. With both hands braced against it, he trembled as if every ounce of strength had been drained from his body."I'm sorry, Regina. I didn't know. I didn't know."His voice grew softer and softer until it broke with emotion."Wake up. I'll stop lying to you. We'll get married again immediately. I won't hide anything from you ever again."Regina, please wake up."Near dawn, a doctor finally emerged from the emergency room with a stack of reports.Looking at Samuel, he spoke solemnly."The patient is no l

After sorting everything out, Samuel returned to the hospital. Holding me in his arms, he said through choked sobs, "Regina, I've gotten revenge for you. When are you going to wake up?"I know I was wrong. I really do."Every day, he stayed by my bedside and never left.When the doctors said I needed physical stimulation to aid my recovery, he learned how to massage my arms and legs. He was clumsy at it. Half the time, he'd end up sitting there with tears in his eyes.He told me stories from our past, including the day we first met and the first time he saw me in a white dress, but sooner or later, he'd always lose the ability to continue.Instead, he'd bury his face in my palm. His shoulders would tremble.He refused to eat. Meal after meal brought by the caregivers remained untouched until they grew cold.He refused to sleep too. Night after night, he sat beside my bed watching me. He was terrified that I'd open my eyes while he wasn't looking.In less than two weeks, he'd lo
