My thoughts returned, and I blinked away the tears.
Looking calmly at Colin, I said “Then why don’t you agree to the divorce? I can hand over the position of Mrs. Nelson to Esme.”
I didn’t know which word triggered Colin’s anger.
He suddenly opened his eyes and said, “What did you say?”
“Gloria Lee, I warn you to behave yourself.”
“Since I have given you a way out, you better take it and not push your luck!”
After saying that, Colin got up and left, just like every time when we had a fight.
He would choose to slam the door and stay away for a few days, ignoring me.
Because I loved him, no matter whose fault it was, I always lowered my head and coaxed him back.
His hand was back on the doorknob.
I spoke indifferently, “By the way, I have a terminal illness. If you don’t want to be widowed, divorce me.”
Upon hearing this, he paused.
With an unhappy expression, he asked, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
He looked at me with a skeptical gaze.
Seeing my strong and healthy appearance, he obviously didn’t believe that I was sick.
I picked up the medical report on the table that he hadn’t noticed.
Colin took the report with suspicion.
“Late-stage breast cancer... How is this possible?”
