“You know that Jake’s death had a too big
impact on her, that’s why she became like
this. The reason why she is close to me and
targeting you is because she is sick, why do
you have to argue with her?”
“Amy just can’t control her temper, she didn’t
do it on purpose, can’t you just let her go!”
But now, when we finally reached the end of
our marriage, he finally let go and said he
would let her move out.
How ridiculous.
If you really care about someone, will you wait
until you lose them to cherish and regret it?
It’s just what you can’t get that always stirs
up trouble.
<
I opened my mouth, about to say something.
A sharp voice suddenly exploded in the ward:
“No! Why should I move out!”
Amy came in with high heels, pointing at my
nose and scolding:
“You damn fox spirit, you’re the one who
instigated my husband to drive me away!
That’s my home with my husband! You’re the
one who should get out!”
The more she talked, the more angry she
became, and she rushed over to grab my hair.
Mark’s face sank, and he stood in front of
me:
く
“What are you doing! I’m the one who said I
was going to send you away, it has nothing to
do with your sister–in–law! She’s your sister-
in–law, and she’s still injured, show some
respect!”
Amy instantly broke down, her eyes red, and
she reached out to cling to his arm with
grievance:
“Jake! I’m your wife! How can you treat me
like this for an outsider!”
If it were the past, Mark would have put his
arm around her and comforted her with
Jake’s identity.
But now Mark looked at me with fear and
hurriedly withdrew his arm, completely
disregarding Amy, who was swayed by his
<
movements.
He even lost control for the first time and
blurted out to Amy:
“Jake is dead! I am Mark, Susan is my wife!”
At this moment, Amy and I seemed to have
switched roles.
Mark’s actions shocked not only me, but also
Amy.
She looked at Mark in disbelief.
It seemed that she hadn’t expected that he
would suddenly and directly break the illusion
that he had painstakingly created.
Amy finally collapsed, and she screamed and
く
“You’re lying to me! How could my husband
be dead!”
“Jake! You must be lying to me, right! You
are Jake, you are my husband!”
But the Mark who used to feel sorry for her
now had a face full of indifference.
He frowned, felt she was too noisy, and
pressed the call bell without hesitation.
Soon, the doctor came in.
Mark pointed at Amy and said coldly:
“She’s mentally ill and has started to show
aggressive behavior, please take her away
immediately and don’t affect my wife’s rest.”
L
Amy’s expression instantly froze on her face,
and no matter how much she cried, she could
only be forcibly taken away by the doctor.
I silently watched this farce.
I only found it pathetic and ridiculous.
Whether it was me or Amy.
Mark refused to get a divorce.
He kept promising me that he would find
someone to take care of Amy and wouldn’t let
her affect us anymore.
The divorce agreement that I had the lawyer
draw up was torn to pieces by him as soon as
it was placed in front of him.
く
He was even afraid that I would secretly
escape from him.
During the time I was in the hospital, not only
did he follow me every step of the way, but
he also hired a large number of bodyguards.
to guard the door, not allowing me to go out
alone.
Lendured the annoyance until the wound was
completely healed.
Perhaps my peace during my hospitalization
made Mark think that I had given up the ideal
of getting a divorce, and even the bodyguards.
guarding me were called away one by one.
That day Mark went on a business trip, and
after I got rid of the last bodyguard, I went
<
straight to the law firm.
Mark was unwilling to sign the agreement, so
I could only see him in court.
After leaving the law firm, I was also
preparing to take the evidence of Mark
restricting my personal freedom to the police
station.
But before I could get to the police station, I
was suddenly gagged and taken away when I
passed by a plain alley.
Soon, I lost consciousness.
I didn’t know how long it had been when I was
suddenly awakened by a basin of cold water.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that I
く
seemed to be in a basement, and my whole
body was tied up.
It was enclosed on all sides and no light could
penetrate. The light in the room was dim.
Reflecting on Amy’s malicious face, it was
creepy for no reason.
My chin was pinched and lifted hard, and my
fingernails almost dug into my flesh. The pain
made me shrink back subconsciously, but
Amy forcibly pulled me back.
“I really underestimated you, Susan!”
“It’s all because of you! Mark’s attention is all
on you now! He even wants to forcibly send
me to a mental hospital! What tricks did you
use on him!”
く
I stared at her face, suddenly noticing
something was wrong:
“You’re not crazy?”
I said almost certainly:
“You always knew he wasn’t Jake.”
Amy chuckled:
“So what?”
“So you’ve been targeting me on purpose!”
Amy straightened up, pulled out a knife from
a dilapidated table next to her, and sneered:
“Who told you to steal what’s mine!”
“If it weren’t for you butting in, Jake, Mark,
and the entire Jiang family would be mine!”
“But all of this has been ruined by you!”
“Mark was originally moved by me, but you
caused such a scene that he actually
regretted it! He didn’t even consider the old
relationship and wanted to send me to a
mental hospital!”
The more she said, the angrier she became,
and she laughed as she dragged a black iron
bucket from the corner.
My pupils contracted violently when my eyes
caught the liquid inside.
That was gasoline!
<
She was going to burn me to death!
I struggled madly to hide, but I could only.
watch her open the lid and pour the liquid
directly on me.
The pungent smell hit my face.
She took out a lighter and smiled evilly:
“Susan, after you die, I’ll let Mark give you a
good burial!”
But as soon as she finished speaking, the
basement door behind me was suddenly
knocked on.
Amy shouted impatiently at the door:
<
“What’s the matter? Didn’t I tell you to stay
outside and watch, and not bother me!”
But the only response to Amy was the sound.
of knocking on the door again.
Amy frowned, grabbed the knife, and went to
open the door irritably.
As soon as the door opened, she was caught
off guard, her hand pressed against the wall,
and the dagger fell to the ground instantly.
Her pupils shrank, and she blurted out:
“Mark! How did you find this place!”
