Everything I revealed gained massive public
attention.
Many people were attacking Noelle and Declan.
I heard someone even dug up Declan and Noelle’s past.
Noelle used to be a streetwalker, and Declan was just a poor car mechanic.
Noelle had a string of boyfriends, and so did
Declan.
They were both just a couple of dirty, used-
up people.
I truly felt I must have been blind to fall for
such a disgusting man like Declan.

Someone also posted a video from the
hospital room.
It showed Declan secretly having sex with Noelle while she was in a coma.
A netizen commented: [I passed by back then and thought he was the patient’s husband, so I didn’t think much of it. Now I know the truth. Declan is truly disgusting.]
After watching the video, I felt so sick I almost threw up.
To think I used to treat Declan so well,
worked so hard every day so he could have a
good life.
I wouldn’t even buy myself a two–dollar meat

My clothes were old, patched up again and
again.
I thought that a life of scraping by would eventually lead to happiness.
But now I knew, a life built on patches and fixes is the most fragile of all.
In the following days, I didn’t hear from
Declan.
I only heard that he and Noelle were going
through a messy divorce.
Apparently, they both resented each other for
being poor and dirty.
Noelle was demanding all their assets,
threatening to keen the child from Declan if

threatening to keep the child from Declan if
he didn’t comply.
Declan had no choice but to agree, leaving
him broke with only the child.
He was living a miserable life now, holed up in a dilapidated rental.
I used to live in a rental with him too, but back then, with my touch, it was cozy.
Without me, I wondered if it would still feel
like home.
