(Flora's POV)I woke up from my sleep and felt my heart beat very hard. I couldn't remember what dream I had, but it should have been a nightmare.When I turned on the bedside lamp, I found that I was in the wedding room, and then I remembered that I was sent there by Leo after the funeral.'What time is it now?'I looked around the bed for my phone, but I couldn't find it.It should have fallen downstairs. So I went downstairs to look for it.As soon as I turned on the light, I was startled. Abbi Miller was sitting on my sofa."Moon Goddess, why are you here!" I cried out in alarm.Her eyes, which were as calm as water, glanced at me. "I'm just waiting for you here. I think you'll always come back. I didn't expect you to be in the house."With just one look in my eyes, I noticed something was wrong with her. "Abbi Miller, what's wrong with you?""Nothing, it's just... Leo beat me back to the original shape. He was angry with me when he learned about the divorce agreement, so he arran
(Flora's POV)That was probably how life works. Once you let your guard down, it would hit you hard and knock you down. One second I was chatting with Iggy about whether it was worth spending 10.000 dollars, and the next second, we had a car accident. It was a near-death experience for me.When I woke up, I saw a white ceiling and Mable Bell's face. I tried to open my mouth to speak, but I couldn't feel my tongue for a moment."Don't talk. You just had general anesthesia, and the effect hasn't gone away," Mable Bell explained my current situation.I tried my best and could only give a weak nod. Mable Bell gently stroked my head and said softly, "Have some rest… Fortunately, I was nearby when the accident happened. I heard Iggy's cry and rescued you in time. Don't worry. She was in the back seat, and the impact didn't harm her as much as you, only minor injuries. You don't have to worry too much."'How did this happen?' I wondered.Seemingly aware of my question, Mable Bell smiled, "It
(Leo's POV) 'Flora was in a car accident?!' The moment I received the news, I rushed out of the office and headed to the hospital. Along the way, I, an atheist, prayed to God, hoping that nothing would happen to her. However, through the hospital's glass, I saw her with gauze wrapped around her head. Bandages were all over her body. She was hurt so badly!I was so distressed that when I called her, she didn't respond, so I wanted to call a doctor. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to call the doctor over, Flora woke up. I suddenly realized that her injuries were all skin injuries and not that serious. Maybe she just didn't want to see me at the moment. But still, I couldn't just leave her behind. I should care more about her at times like these. "Flora, do you hurt?" I asked."Well, what do you think?" Her emotional rhetorical question left me unable to answer. I just wanted to make sure that she was okay. I didn't expect her to be so disgusted with my concerns. Did I do something wr
(Abbi's POV)I thought I was going crazy too. After seeing Flora in the wedding room, I hated her even more. Most importantly, I didn't think she was still in that house. I thought she wouldn't come, and I just wanted to borrow that big house that night to calm myself down. But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the daily necessities that Leo had prepared for her. I immediately realized that they still had each other in their hearts. Otherwise, Leo wouldn't have prepared these things for Flora if that woman wouldn't stay in that house.What about their divorce? Maybe it was just a quarrel in their love affair. After some time had passed since Ada's death, they would overcome the pain and come together sooner or later.I sat stupidly on the sofa, thinking about Leo's bad habit for me and his good for Flora. My jealousy grew secretly.At that moment, Flora suddenly appeared. She looked so innocent and was surprised, as if she was the mistress of the house and I was a thief who had inv
(Flora's POV)After three days, most of my injuries were almost healed, except the one on my face. I didn't know how it turned out. After all, I hadn't looked in the mirror for three days.At this moment, Mable Bell walked into the room with a mirror and said to me, "Before you look in the mirror, I need to tell you a few things. First, there must be a way to repair the injury on your face, so no matter how bad it is, you don't need to be too sad. Second, don't cry. Tears will only make it harder for the wound to heal. Third, you are still a beautiful woman in my eyes.""Thank you, Mable Bell." I knew she said all this to comfort me. In fact, now that I had no relatives, having Mable Bell by my side during these difficult times made me feel much better as she had been nothing but tender and patient with me. Then, she shoved the mirror into my hand.I finally saw myself again. My face didn't change much, but the area under my right cheekbone was wrapped with thick gauze. I reached out
(Flora's POV)Friday had finally arrived. That day, I packed my luggage in advance, sent Iggy to the pet store, left a message telling Mable Bell that I had to say goodbye to Leo, and left the rental house. When I was about to leave, I glanced back for a while, afraid I wouldn't be coming back this time. I put my luggage in the car and set off.Before dinner time, I tidied up the house, put the items Leo bought for me in the cabinet, checked the empty refrigerator, and prepared to go to the supermarket for grocery shopping. As soon as I went out, I ran into Judy. She looked at me and greeted me warmly as she said, "Hi Flora, I really haven't seen you for a long time. You don't know how much I miss you.""I was busy at work, and I miss you too." Judy and I exchanged a few simple words."What's with the wound on your face?" she asked me.I reached out, covered my face subconsciously, and then said, "It's just a small injury. It will get better."However, my wound was actually quite trou
(Leo's POV)The investigation into Flora's car accident had run into trouble. Even though I had repeatedly emphasized to the police that this case should have been taken seriously, with the available evidence, the murderer still couldn't be found.Although I had already determined that Abbi Miller did it, there was no way to convict her. I even thought about prosecuting her for fraud and putting her in jail. However, compared to attempted murder, this crime was too light. Flora would be very sad when she found out. I didn't want to embarrass Flora anymore. So, I had to send someone to investigate the matter secretly.***On Wednesday, I got a call from Flora. It turned out that she had been discharged from the hospital. However, I didn't expect her to call me to talk about the divorce. I didn't want to divorce her anytime. But, I had come to understand that continuing to keep her beside me would only suffocate her. I fell in love with her completely, so I was willing to sacrifice my
(Flora's POV)After the party, I was sad when I heard Leo talk about the child. Indeed, we had done everything. When I thought that it was our time to be happy, we were then struck by my misfortune. There was no way that we could go back to the past easily. When he and I were married, we had many opportunities to be happy, have children, and become a real family. Yet, we couldn't do that now. We had nothing. Instead, we only had three short days left.Initially, I wanted to do many things with him that I could not do with him. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the peaceful time between us was already enough. After all, we didn't even fight; that was the best thing ever to happen since I was now injured badly.Looking at the mirror before me, I could see how hideous my scar was after I tore off the gauze. Under the gauze, there was a noticeable scar on my face and a thick layer of bloody scab. Although it was only four cm in length, it was so long since it
