Moving On Chapter 3
I could no longer hold back my tears. "No. I'm not okay. I'm not okay at all."I felt that I had lost my mind as I cried my heart out in front of two strangers.There was no denying I was in a very bad state of mind.If Jason were here, I would tell him that I was scared and that it was hurting where I was scalded, but he was not here.He broke his promise on the first day of our marriage. He neither protected me nor showed up beside me at my saddest moments.The janitor patted my back gently and said, "It's okay to let it out."When she patted me on the shoulder, my pain drew out an ugly wince.The janitor was startled. "Are you hurt?"The two of them immediately brought me to the bathroom after lifting my shirt collar and seeing what had happened. They ran cold water over my shoulders and asked another colleague to get some ointment for my burns.Jason should be the one doing all that for me.My tears flowed uncontrollably when I saw those two strangers with worried looks.A good amo

I could not believe my ears and simply stood in an utter daze.Jason reached out and held my shoulders. I cried in pain because his hand was in contact with the area that had been scalded.However, he seemed to be worried about another woman. "This is no time to lose your temper, Lauren. Don't you think it'd be cruel to ruin someone else's career?"I protested, "But didn't you insist on coming here for our honeymoon because you wanted to see Sylvie go crazy?"Jason grabbed my shoulders as soon as I finished speaking. The pain, both physical and mental, was simply too great.During the interrogation, I was asked why this location became the destination for our honeymoon. It was a mediocre forest lodge with nothing of particular interest, some unremarkable scenery, and subpar infrastructure.The decision was Jason's. He rarely went online, but he seemed drawn to a post that was uploaded online and claimed that the patch of forest was an interesting one.I knew he was tired from work, so

Jason might have felt a pang of regret as soon as he saw Sylvie's photo and received her message.I could still accept it if he explained himself clearly, and I would not mind it if he wanted to meet her.I was disappointed because he did not bother to show me that courtesy. To make things worse, he gave me the pink diamond ring that symbolized their promises and intended future.I wore that ring in front of him every single day.It was not until Sylvie showed up and broke down in tears that the indifference he so feigned crumbled.I am a nobody, though.Half a year had passed since Jason received the message from Sylvie. Jason and I had not even met each other's parents to discuss the marriage back then.He had opportunity after opportunity to figure out who he truly loved. That would at least make things less complicated between us.He made his choice, and he would have to live with it. Everything that happened in the present was the consequence of his past actions.It was I

I got into the taxi and looked out the window. Jason said something to Sylvie and shook her off before running toward me.The car drove off, but Jason continued to give chase.His figure was getting further and further away until the night eventually made it so that he could no longer be seen.I gave him one last chance to decide, but Sylvie came first. It was about time I let go.I went into the hospital alone.Initially, there were no blisters, but the delay in getting medical attention resulted in a few of them appearing.While the nurse cleaned the wound and applied ointment, she chastised me, "Burns need to be treated immediately. What made you wait so long?"I could not bring myself to explain it.She pointed to the hickey on my neck again and asked, "Do we need to get the police involved?""I came here from the police station," came my reply.By the time I was about to leave the consultation room, Jason had already caught up.He held me firmly and asked the doctor, "A

I took some comfort in my increasing numbness to all the continued disappointment.It had reached a point where I could say with a smile, "You don't have to worry about Jason being hurt again. I'm pretty sure he's finally fulfilled his long-cherished desires."Jason's parents looked at each other in embarrassment. His father's calls remained unanswered.My parents were more displeased than ever. "There's nothing else to discuss if you can't even tell your son to behave. Let's deal with the divorce."Please return the money we paid for the house. We won't ask for anything more than that. We'll cut ties with your family so Lauren won't have to suffer anymore."My parents did not demand anything else. They were simply there to support me.I could feel my tears welling up again.Jason's parents said embarrassedly, "But it would leave a bad impression for newlyweds to divorce so soon. Please give Jason a chance, Lauren. It could just be a misunderstanding.""Newlyweds, huh..." I always thou

I watched a viral video on my phone, where a man whose back was facing the camera threw a ring into the sea. A woman then jumped into the water without hesitation to chase after the ring.The strong waves eventually swept the girl away.The uploader replied to several concerned social media users in the comment area, saying, [The lady is safe! The man dived into the water to save her. The two of them hugged each other tightly in the water, and the ring was found too. However, we're not allowed to post the rest due to restrictions.]What came to mind was a pale-faced Jason bringing me some bubble tea drinks from that famous tea-based drink place.I could not bear to see him that way, so I gave him some medication.As it turned out, he was unwell not because he had a heat stroke while queuing to buy me boba, but because he had jumped into the sea to save Sylvie's life.Even his attempts at repenting and making up to me involved her.I called Jason.

Sylvie was threatening to commit suicide—again. She stood at the edge of the building, started a live stream, and mentioned my name.I switched on the live broadcast and saw her crying in front of the camera. "Some days ago, I helped the husband of a woman named Lauren Falk get ointment for her after she suffered some burns. She left her hotel door open to seduce other men into satisfying her sexual frustration, but she later regretted it and called the police on them. I then got fired for leaving my post."I'm now banned from this line of work, and until now I don't know where I went wrong."I am the ex-girlfriend of Lauren's husband, but my relationship with him is water under the bridge. He is simply a guest at the hotel where I am a manager."But you're playing dirty, Lauren!

I called out to him, "Jason! Darling!"Alas, my newlywed husband never looked back even once. The sound of his hurried footsteps crushed my self-esteem to pieces.The skin on my shoulders was also burning with pain.I bit my lips and blinked rapidly to try and stop my tears from flowing. Once my vision was crystal clear, all I saw was an empty room.Jason did not return. He did not bring cold water to tend to my scalds and comfort me. He left me in the room to bear the pain, all to chase after Sylvie who was afraid of the dark.I was his newlywed wife. We exchanged vows in front of his family and friends. He promised that he would always love me, care for me and put me first.Even when he was courting me, I knew that he once had a relationship that ended on extremely bad terms. He promised me time and again that everything was in the past, and that hate had turned to indifference. Through his promises, I gradually opened my heart up to him, fell in love with him, and eventually married
