Now, in the hospital room, Lucas stared at the divorce papers, love you so much, how could I ever divorce you?”
Chioe had been by his bedside the whole time, attentively
his face contorted with pain. “How could this happen? How is this possible? I
pic for him.
Her dedication made even me, his current wife, feel inadequate,
“Lucas, you promised to marry me, to help me through this…” Chloe’s voice was soft and pitiful.
“Chloe, I’ve always seen you as a good friend. The person I love is my wife, Olivia.” Lucas cut her off before she could finish.
Chloe’s eyes welled up with tears. She tried to hold his hand, but he forcefully pushed her away.
He frowned and said coldly, “Don’t touch me!”
Of course, his memories were stuck three years ago, when he still loved me.
How ironic.
I stood far from his hospital bed, my face expressionless.
You’ve always been the one asking for a divorce. I’m not lying. After you’re discharged, contact me and we’ll go finalize the paperwork.”

In the past, I hated seeing such an expression on my man’s face, but now my heart was as cold as stone.
Despite his heartfelt words to me-
“Olivia, you promised you’d always be by my side.”
“I love you.”
“There’s nothing between Chloe and me. There must be some misunderstanding.”
“Please don’t divorce me, okay?”

Now that Chloe was back, and in such a sickly state, of course he wanted to give her his name.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten all this.
But I hadn’t!
How could I forget how many times I had cried over these three years? How many times I had called him, begging him to come home, only to be met with a casual “Chloe’s not feeling well, I need to stay with her.
