Chapter49
“Looks like the surgery cleared your head this time.” Jarvis said, as mean
as ever.
I smiled and said nothing. He packed up his things and put a chocolate on the table. “Eat it when your condition allows.”
I watched him, but he didn’t look back. He simply turned and left. As the door closed, I glanced at the chocolate.
It was the same one I had posted about on social media a few days ago,
That day was my birthday, and though I rarely indulged in chocolate as a child or an adult, I had a sudden craving
I mentioned it to Antonio several times, but he brushed me off, thinking I was being childish and asking why I couldn’t just buy it myself.
Again, he hung up on me.
I searched everywhere but couldn’t find the filled chocolate I craved.
Feeling despondent, I posted on social media, saying I might never find my favorite chocolate again, with an old photo of it.
Antonio commented below. “Are you done?”
Long ago, Eloise sent me a picture of the chocolate, asking if it was the one I wanted. I was a bit confused but thrilled and told her it was.
She replied. “Antonio bought me this.”
Feried all night, hurt by Antonio’s words. Even now, thinking about his words made me feel so hurt.
Seeing the chocolate again, I couldn’t help but smile.
I couldn’t enjoy it yet, but I snapped a picture and shared it online. To my surprise, Antonio was the first to like it.
He even commented, “Did some other guy buy you this?”
I ignored him. It was the first time in years that I chose not to respond to him.
Half an hour later, he started bombarding me with calls and messages.
But my phone was on silent while I was undergoing tests. When It finished, Jarvis stopped me.
We talked about my condition.
Halfway through, Antonio stormed in and angrily pulled me away from Jarvis.
“What are you doing? You want a divorce just to run back to your first love?
“Have you no shame, flirting with him in our hospital?” Antonio hissed. Jarvis tried to speak, but I stopped him.
I pulled out the surveillance videos I had been collecting from the hospital.
I had planned to show them to the judge to prove our marriage was over. But here Antonio was, practically begging for an insult.
So I played the videos.
The first one showed him and Eloise hugging in the operating room and kissing in a corner of the ward.”
Other videos were filmed during my previous hospital stays. While I was unconscious, they were flirting, even kissing by my bedside.
If I hadn’t seen the footage with my own eyes, I would’ve never believed they could be so shameless. “So who has no shame now?” I asked.
I even looped some of the most disgusting clips. Antonio, furious, tried to take my phone.
I laughed. “Where did all that confidence go? I’m just showing everyone. how ‘pure‘ your friendship with Eloise is.”
