Jensen swore at my hospital bedside to treat me well for the rest of his life, after I amputated my hand to save him. However, five years after we got married, he gradually got home less. I thought he was busy at work, until I heard rumors that he was dating his junior from graduate school…
View MoreThe next day, Mia's former colleague brought some news—Roxanne had been fired from the lab.Mia burst into laughter. "The retribution for the evil has finally come. Now, we just need to wait for Jensen's turn."I glanced at my bionic hand, lightly running my fingers over it. The hand could be considered my punishment for trusting the wrong man, but fortunately, I turned back before it was too late.From then on, I focused on my work.Not only had my skills not deteriorated, but they had improved significantly.The headquarters of the Nature Reservation Association extended an invitation for me to join as a guide.Mia thought it was a rare opportunity and wholeheartedly supported me.I had wasted enough time, so I accepted the offer without a second thought.Before long, I became a full-time employee at the association.Life gradually returned to normal.As for the divorce, I spoke with Jensen several times, but he refused to relent. With no other choice, I filed a lawsuit.H
At the end of the day, my 'love' turned out to be a burden to Jensen. He guilt-tripped me and looked down on me.Jensen looked confused. He opened his mouth but could not say a word.I continued, venting my frustration."Your family humiliated me, and you knew about it, but you turned a blind eye just to show how kind you are, didn't you? On one hand, you look down on me, and on the other, you refuse to let go."Who do you think you are, a king who dictates everything? Do you think I should still be grateful to you no matter how you degrade me?"I poured out all the resentment I had buried deep inside.Losing my right hand broke my heart, made me feel inferior, and caused immense pain.However, I never dared to show it in front of Jensen, afraid it would stir up bad memories, afraid he would feel guilty, but in the end, my tolerance turned to a weapon he used to hurt me.Jensen panicked as he stammered, "Martha, I—""You have nothing to say because you know everything I said i
I clenched my fist and gave a cold snort. My face remained unfazed."Is that so? Then, please pass a message to him. Tell him to file for divorce as soon as possible so that you don't have to spend your life as a disgraceful mistress.""You—"At that moment, Maria walked out of the room and cheerfully said, "The room has been tidied up, Martha. When will you move your things back?"Maria was all smiles, unaware of the displeasure in Roxanne's eyes."I'm not coming back," I said calmly.As soon as I finished speaking, the movers knocked on the door.Although the house was not mine, I purchased most of the things inside. I would rather sell them for some money rather than leave them to Jensen's family.I instructed the movers to take all my belongings away.Maria looked surprised and asked, "What are you doing, Martha?"I replied, "From now on, I have nothing to do with Jensen. I won't be coming back to live here."After I married Jensen, Maria had always taken care of my dail
I slept soundly that night.Suddenly, my phone rang urgently. I reached for it groggily and answered."Hello?"It was Jensen."My stomach hurts. Where are the medicines at home?"I was instantly awake. I glanced at the time—it was already two in the morning.I suppressed my anger and replied nonchalantly, "Don't be crazy, Jensen."That was something he often said to me in the past. Every time I questioned him about his closeness with Roxanne, he would reply dismissively with the same response."Don't be crazy, Martha."He seemed to realize how familiar that phrase sounded and fell silent.I sighed deeply and said calmly, "From now on, don't contact me unless it's about the divorce. I don't owe you anything."Jensen paused for a long time, muttering to himself, "There's still some of your stuff here. You should come pick them up when you have time."I cleaned up everything when I left, so I should not have left anything behind.As I thought about it, he continued, "The jade
"Who do you think you are?" I sneered.I turned to face Lawrence and said proudly, "I have already asked for a divorce, but he won't let go. Tell Jensen to let me go."My life might be even more exciting without Jensen, just like what Mia said.For the past three years, I was shackled by the old traditions of Jensen's family and my disabled body. I had no job or income, and I could not even take care of my daily tasks independently.Jensen thought I could not live without him, but he was wrong.Lawrence was so enraged by my words that he gasped and glared at me."Get out of here!" he yelled.That was exactly what I wanted. I did not want to be in that suffocating place any longer.I left the hospital ward without a second glance. After venting all my thoughts, I felt much better.I remembered I had a follow-up appointment, so I went to find my doctor/ I needed a check-up on my wounds before getting the bionic hand.After some time, I made my way back to the parking lot where
As I reached the ward entrance, I heard someone on the inside complaining."Martha's so shameless. She agreed to a low-key wedding, but she wants to have a grand wedding ceremony now. She even ran away from her wedding. Does she think she can do whatever she wants to us?"It was Susan Tod, Jensen's younger sister. Out of everyone in Jensen's family, she hated me the most.Jensen's mother, Clara Smith, sighed dramatically. "Watch your words, Susan. She's still your sister-in-law, after all.""Ugh! Jensen would never marry a cripple if it wasn't because of that accident."Jensen furrowed his brows upon hearing that, but he did not refute it.It seemed that was how he truly felt.I could not help but sneer, bitterly laughing at myself.Jensen opened the door.When Susan saw me, she rolled her eyes in disgust. "You have no shame at all, do you?"Jensen's grandfather, Lawrence Tod, lay in bed as he shot me a sharp, intimidating glare. He coldly spat, "You're not welcome here. You
The murmurs around us echoed in the quiet lobby, making every word cut a little deeper.I felt a mix of emotions—heavy and bitter.Jensen seemed to say something to Roxanne before he looked up and met my gaze. For a brief moment, there was a flicker of panic in his eyes.Roxanne noticed me too.She smiled and walked toward me, her tone overly sweet, almost apologetic. "You didn't make it to the wedding today, so I filled in for you at the last minute. I hope you don't mind."Jensen did not spare me a glance as he added, "She has no right to mind it."He gently comforted Roxanne and warmly said, "Grandpa would be upset today if it weren't for you."My left hand clenched tightly at my side.I had thought Jensen was angry because I missed the wedding. I never thought it was because I nearly caused him and his family to lose their dignity.It was absurd."Of course, I have no objections. I wouldn't want to intrude on such a perfect pair. Once you're done, I would appreciate it if
I quickly answered the call, and the doctor's voice came through. "Ms. Ramsey, your customized bionic hand is ready. When would you like to come in for the fitting?"I suddenly remembered the bionic hand.Jensen had once mentioned that he wanted to travel across the country with me to conduct research when we both had the time. However, because of my limited mobility, we never made it happen.I planned to get the bionic hand and surprise him when the time came, but before I could give him the surprise, our relationship was already coming to an end."Alright. I'll come by this afternoon," I replied.After setting the appointment, Mia drove me to the hospital in the afternoon.The moment we stepped through the hospital doors, I spotted Roxanne Foster, Jensen's junior in graduate school, dressed in a white evening gown.I knew that gown all too well. I had picked it out myself.The gown fit her so perfectly that I felt a pang in my chest.My gaze lingered on her hand, where a rin
The memories filled my heart with bitterness.I looked around at our simple and cozy home, feeling reluctant to leave.Jensen bought the house we lived in.His family strongly opposed our marriage, insisting he focus on his career and not be distracted by a disabled woman like me.I gave up everything to be with him, and I did not even ask for a wedding ceremony. After we registered our marriage, we moved into our house together.My best friend, Mia Walter, scolded me for being foolish and told me to leave myself a way out. However, I believed love was everything and ignored her advice back then.I finally realized how stupid I was.I took a deep breath and called Mia. After the call, I started packing my things with my left hand.Packing had become a challenging task for me, but fortunately, I had enough time to do it slowly.After talking to Mia, I continued packing.Mia quickly arrived soon after. She became furious when she saw me sitting alone outside the house."Why ar
When Jensen Tod returned with the chill from outside clinging to him, the porridge I had spent the entire afternoon cooking for him had already gone cold.To my left sat the wedding ring.He frowned when he saw me at the dining table late at night. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes landed on the ring.He paused and asked coldly, "Is this your way of picking a fight?"It would be impossible for an outsider to guess that Jensen and I were supposed to get married the very next day.I touched my amputated right hand, and when my gaze fell on the raised scars, I felt extremely sad.Jensen knew full well that I could never wear a ring on my right hand again and that I hated the scars on my left hand.He also knew how much I had looked forward to our wedding all those years, yet he kept upsetting me. It seemed like he was reminding me that I was the one who begged for the wedding.I was devastated.After a moment of silence, I softly replied, "Jensen, let's get a divorce."His...
