I was on the verge of tears, begging the nurse on duty beside me to lend me her cell phone in order to contact Ian to sign.

The moment the call was answered, Ian heard my voice, and his tone instantly turned indifferent.

"Are you done? Have you finished making a scene? You knew Bella was leaving today, but you had to cause trouble today, didn't you?

"What can you do to me today if I don't go? We can get a divorce, and I've had enough of you being suspicious of me for a long time. If you touch my mom, I'll make you pay for it!"

Ian didn't give me a chance to explain, and he abruptly hung up.

I sneered sarcastically.

I felt worthless in my mind for the five years I had wasted.

During the five years we got married, I took care of Carol every day and did everything I could for her, but all I ended up with was Ian's heartless words.

I wasn't the woman Ian loved, much less the wife he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.

My chest was stabbed by him in my previous life. At this moment, I could still feel the pain tearing through my heart.

As my tears overflowed my eyes, I reached up and wiped them away casually.
