After we had succeeded in business, Gary said he would be the breadwinner and that I should stay home. So, I stayed behind the scenes and became a good wife.
He was busy expanding the business while I went for prenatal checkups alone, endured sickness alone, and gave birth to the baby alone.
Later, I raised Mia alone and accompanied her to the hospital when she was sick.
Those who didn't know me misunderstood me as a shameless mistress. But I knew who I was, so I never really cared for that.
I kept telling myself that Gary was just too busy and he wanted to give me and Mia the best he could offer.
Now, I finally understand that Mia and I have never meant anything to him.
He agreed to celebrate Mia's birthday because I begged him for a long time.
This was the first time he was there for Mia's birthday. However, he left her on the beach and let her drown for Linda.
Mia was only four years old and was still a child. How come she had become a big girl who didn't need anyone's care in Gary's eyes?
My heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe whenever I thought of how Mia had drowned in the sea. How scared and desperate must she have been at that time?
