Every time I quarreled with Bruce about this, he would stand on Carol's side and accuse me of being narrow-minded.
"Flora, can you stop being unreasonable? I am just repaying Carol's kindness.
"She's an orphan with nowhere to go. Why can't you be kinder and more tolerant of her?"
In the end, Carol planned a kidnapping to make me give up and to get rid of me and my child.
I watched Bruce choose Carol and let me and the child fall off a high cliff.
If a passing forest ranger hadn't called the police and sent me to the hospital, I would have also died.
However, Carol framed the kidnapping case on me, causing Bruce to angrily come to question me.
But it didn't matter. The child was gone, and I was completely disappointed in Bruce.
I had decided to divorce him.
During the five months I was in the hospital, Bruce rarely came to visit me. Even if he came, Carol would immediately call him and ask him to leave for various reasons.
The day I was discharged from the hospital, I received a call from the clerk in my flower shop.
She said that a woman brought a group of people into the shop and smashed everything.
