Mark’s attention was immediately diverted,
and he eagerly reached out to take Amy’s
hand to comfort her, afraid that she would
not think things through:
L
“I’m Jake, I’m your husband, she just called the wrong name, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Amy clung to Mark’s waist like a drowning
person grabbing a floating log, acting like she
was having a seizure.
But only I saw it.
The eyes she looked back at over Mark’s
shoulder were full of smugness and
provocation.
I looked at them embracing each other as if
there was no one else around, and finally
laughed miserably.
Forcing myself to stand up straight, I said
each word clearly:
<
“Yes, he is your husband, Jake.”
“My Mark died a long time ago.”
Mark subconsciously looked over, his pupils
constricting as his eyes caught the
bloodstains on my body that could no longer
be hidden.
He pushed Amy away in panic and rushed
toward me:
“What’s with the blood on your body! Are you
hurt?”
The pain in my body was tearing at my
nerves.
I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him
<
anymore, turned around and wanted to leave,
but was stopped by Mark.
I looked at the hand he was reaching out to
hold, feeling only ridiculous.
I opened my hand and showed him the
bandaged finger in front of him:
“Mark, didn’t you say those kidnappers were
hired by me?”
“But the injuries on my body were caused by
them.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I was pushed
away by an indignant Amy:
“You can pretend to be injured by wrapping a little gauze, you’re really going to extremes!”
<
Her eyes were red as she looked at Mark:
“Honey! This is just a lie she’s deliberately
telling to get your attention! Don’t let her fool
you! Don’t forget, this isn’t the first time she’s
done this!”
“Please don’t care about her so much, I’m so
scared.”
Amy’s words pulled Mark back to his senses,
the anxiety in his eyes faded, and his eyes
toward me were filled with disappointment.
While gently comforting Amy, he blamed me:
“Even now, you still want to evade
responsibility!”
I smiled mockingly, and without hesitation, I
<

peeled on the bloodstained panuage.
As the bandage was removed, the gruesome
finger was revealed.
Mark’s face turned pale instantly.
He reached out his hand but trembled and
didn’t dare to touch me.
“This… how could this happen…”
He turned his head and looked at Amy with a
face full of anger:
“Didn’t you say those kidnappers were fake!”
Amy trembled at his expression:
“I… I don’t know, maybe the marks on her
く
hands were made with makeup.”
Mark’s veins were bulging: “Shut up!”
I couldn’t help but sneer as I watched Mark
push the responsibility onto someone else.
Gently placing my hand on my lower
abdomen, I continued:
“Mark, do you know? We used to have a
child, who was also killed by the kidnappers.”
Seeing that the expression on my face didn’t
seem fake, Mark finally collapsed completely.
“Wife, are you blaming me for only taking
care of Amy, so you want to take revenge in
this way, what you said is a lie, right?”
Due to blood loss, my head was faintly dizzy,
and I couldn’t help but sneer when I heard
Mark’s words.
Taking out the medical bill I brought from the
hospital, I smashed the almost broken hope in
his eyes without hesitation:
“Mark, open your eyes wide and take a good
look!”
But the medical bill that hit Mark was first
grabbed by Amy, who tore it to pieces in
embarrassment and anger.
“Susan, how many tricks are you going to use
to fool us!”
