Forsaken in Her Final Hour Chapter 8
I went back to the house and packed my things. After that, I moved into the dormitory provided by my workplace and started working.I was certain that I would be able to buy my own house if I just put in the effort.As for the divorce, even if Caleb refused to do it now, I could just file for divorce after we lived separately for two years.One day, my colleagues and I grabbed dinner together after work. Just as we exited the restaurant, we spotted a crowd in the distance.I had no interest in learning others' personal matters. Yet, I caught a glimpse of Lexie just then.A middle-aged woman yanked at Lexie's hair and shouted, "How dare you try to seduce my husband, you slut! I'm going to give you a good beating!"I moved a bit closer to the crowd and saw that Lexie's body was covered in bruises. Her clothes were torn too. She seemed quite miserable."This shameless wench has been seeing my husband for a few years now. She's got my husband spending more than one million dollars o

During dinner, my mother-in-law, Sophia Valdez, suddenly clutched her chest. Her face turned pale.I quickly put down my fork and went up to her. "Mom, is it your heart problem?"Sophia nodded.I picked up my phone to give my husband, Caleb Wright, a call. He was a cardiologist.Caleb did not join us for dinner since he said he would be working overtime tonight.I tried calling him several times, but Caleb did not pick up the phone. When the line finally got through, I could hear a soft female voice speaking on the other end."Esther, my cat, Bailey, is feeling a bit under the weather. Caleb is preparing some food for him. Can you stop calling? The noise is going to wake Bailey up."I stiffened for a moment.It was Lexie Simmons, Caleb's first love.The two of them dated back when they were still in high school. However, Lexie's parents did not like the fact that Caleb came from a poor family.They eventually forced the couple to break up and sent Lexie away to study abroad.

I curled my fingers into a fist. However, I did not have the time to question what she and Caleb were doing in her house."Where's Caleb?"Just as I said that, Caleb walked over to the door with a cat in his arms. His expression darkened the moment he saw me."Esther, what on earth do you want?"He seemed extremely annoyed. "I told you that Bailey was sick and had trouble eating his usual food. I'll go home after making him some food. Can't you show a small animal some empathy?"I did not want to waste my time arguing with him. I grabbed hold of Caleb's arm. "Come with me. Mom just had a heart attack."Yet, Caleb pulled away from my grip."What nonsense are you talking about? I know about my mother's condition better than anyone else. She's doing well."I did a medical checkup on her during the day. She's in a stable condition, so don't use that as an excuse to threaten me."Indeed, Caleb had been monitoring Sophia's condition all along. Still, there was no telling when unfore

In the end, I had no choice but to rush back to the hospital. I even tripped and fell a couple of times because I was in a hurry.Morgan asked the instant he saw me, "Esther, where's Caleb?""He wouldn't follow me to the hospital. How's my mother-in-law doing?"Morgan turned his face away and avoided my gaze. "You should prepare yourself for the worst, Esther."My face went as white as a sheet. I rushed into the emergency room at once.I felt so bad as I took in Sophia's weakened state. "Mom, I'm so sorry. I couldn't find Caleb."I could not bring myself to tell Sophia that Caleb had refused to come with me to the hospital."You don't have to lie to me, Esther. Caleb is my son. I know him better than anyone else does. He must be with that woman again."He chose to forsake me, his mother, because of that woman. What an ungrateful child!"I knew you were a good person from the first time I met you, Esther. Caleb has been seeing that woman recently. You suffered a lot because of

Sophia's ashes spilled onto the floor the next instant. I was shaking all over in rage.I threw my arm back and slapped Caleb hard across the face."Caleb, you bastard! How could you break the urn containing your mom's ashes? Are you not afraid of divine punishment?"Caleb was in a daze after receiving that slap. He snapped out of it a few seconds later and yelled at me furiously, "Esther Lloyd, how dare you hit me? You lunatic!"I ignored him. Crouching down, I fumbled as I tried to pick up Sophia's ashes with my hands."Mom, I'm sorry. I'm so useless. I didn't do a good job at protecting you."Caleb stared at me as though he was looking at some monster. He scoffed. "That's just flour, isn't it? Your acting skills are quite convincing."I lifted my head and glared at Caleb with red, teary eyes. "Caleb, you spilled Mom's ashes! Can you really call yourself a human?"Caleb was about to respond, but his phone rang just then. His expression changed slightly after he answered the c

If it were before, I would have been devastated to hear Caleb say that. Yet, I just felt like laughing now as I thought about how much of a fool he was.I did not waste time arguing with him. "I have the divorce papers ready. You just need to drop by and sign them."Without allowing him the time to respond, I hung up.The doorbell rang half an hour later. I opened the door thinking it was Caleb who had arrived.The person standing outside the door was not Caleb. Instead, it was Lexie, who was carrying her cat.She glanced at me and said mockingly, "How has it been? It feels awful losing your husband to someone else, right?"Lexie did not bother putting on an act since only the two of us were there. She raised her phone and showed me a photo."Esther, why did you think Caleb chose to marry you in the first place? It's because you look a lot like the younger me. Well, I'm back now. So, you should take the hint and quickly divorce Caleb."I took a glance at the phone screen.The

Caleb picked up the papers from the floor and flipped through them. His face darkened when he confirmed that I was serious about getting a divorce."Fine! Let's get a divorce. I shouldn't have married you in the first place anyway, Esther."He quickly signed the papers.I took the divorce papers from him. "I'll meet you tomorrow at 9:30 am to complete the divorce procedures."As if he did not hear me, Caleb turned his eyes to Lexie. "Lexie, we'll take Bailey to the vet's. I'm sure he'll be fine. Don't worry."Lexie smiled and agreed to his suggestion. Then, she flashed me a contemptuous grin as though flaunting her victory.I could not be bothered with her cheap tricks. So, I turned around and closed the door behind me.I thought about Sophia just as the door came to a shut.Caleb was so worried about the cat's wound that he swiftly decided to take it to the veterinarian. Yet, he did not ask about Sophia, whom he had not seen for days, at all.I could almost imagine how disapp

Caleb's phone slipped out of his hand and fell onto the floor.He was shaking all over. There was a look of guilt, pain, and regret on his face. Caleb had probably thought about what happened during the last few days.The night I went to Lexie's house and begged him to perform the surgery on Sophia only to hear his refusal. After that, Caleb stopped by home and shattered the urn carrying Sophia's ashes, saying that the ashes were just flour.Caleb was gripped by a sense of panic. His legs went limp, and he dropped to his knees."Mom, how could this be? Why did my mom end up dying? I was wrong, Mom! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"As he broke down in tears, Caleb started slapping himself nonstop.I looked at him expressionlessly. Even if Caleb managed to beat himself to death, it would not bring Sophia back to life.Lexie crouched down beside Caleb and consoled him, "Caleb, you're not at fault for what's happened. Stop blaming yourself. There's no way we can bring back the dead. So
