Before I could do anything, Adrian called the hospital security to take Edward away.
I watched Adrian walking into the ward and said, “Thank you.”
But there were many things in Adrian’s eyes that I couldn’t understand.
“You are welcome. I just think Edward went too far.”
Adrian turned away and wiped his eyes. “Is there anything else you need me to do for you?”
I looked at the ceiling of the ward quietly, with only one thought in my mind.

“I want to leave Edward and find my own life.”
“Okay. I’ll help you.”
With the coordination of Adrian and his lawyer friend, Edward finally agreed to divorce me.
In just three or five days, the once high- spirited and powerful Edward had disappeared.
He had an unshaven beard and a haggard face. And he looked listless, as if he hadn’t rested for a long time.
I heard from Adrian that after we left that day, Brittany moved in with Edward’s parents.
Edward, who had just returned from the hospital, was furious and drove Brittany out

male of the night.
Brittany cried so sadly that she slipped and fell down the stairs at night.
Edward’s mother, who knew everything, also
blamed Brittany, saying that Brittany had destroyed Edward’s marriage.
While Brittany was arguing with him, Edward’s mother got so excited that she had a stroke and in a coma. Edward’s father also had a cerebral infarction and was hospitalized.
Brittany’s ankle had to be amputated because she was delayed at the scene for too long.
Brittany’s parents could not tolerate their daughter being bullied by Edward, so they risked their lives and spared no effort to

suppress Edward’s business.
In just a few short days, Edward’s family’s business had continued to shrink, not to mention that his parents were still in a coma in the hospital.
After going through all this, looking at Edward who had no spirit in front of me, the last bit of expectation in my heart was completely dispelled.
I actually loved such a fragile and stupid man for so long.
I thought, “Now he should be able to understand how desperate I was before.”
Just as I expected, Edward didn’t say anything else when he saw me, just a simple “I’m
sorry“.

Then he took out the prepared divorce agreement from his pocket, signed his name on it and handed it to me.
Adrian’s face was full of vigilance. He took the agreement and studied it repeatedly with his lawyer friend. But after seeing the terms, they couldn’t help but let out surprised sounds.
“Are you sure you want to leave 60% of your property to Grace?”
Edward nodded with lifeless eyes.
After saying that, Adrian and the lawyer turned to look at me. I asked the lawyer to take out the agreement I had prepared.
Over the years, I felt that Edward and I still had feelings for each other, so even if we end up getting divorced, I didn’t want to make it

too embarrassing for both of us.
“Edward, it doesn’t make any sense for the two of us to get to this point and talk about whose fault it was.
“I won’t take any more of your property, but my efforts over the past ten years are
something you will never have again in your life.”
As I spoke, a trace of struggle flashed across Edward’s face, but he finally defended himself.
“There’s really nothing between Brittany and me. I really just treat him as a friend.
“And I can assure you that all these
years,
I
only love you.

“I admit that I neglected you because of my dull life or other reasons, but I didn’t cheat on you, nor did I do anything to let you down.”
Seeing Edward’s unconvinced look, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Until now, you still don’t understand what I
want?
“All I want is a stable family and a husband who can be with me.
“But what have you done in these years since Brittany returned?”
Edward seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head silently.
“Edward, please go. I will try to start a new life. I hope you can move on as soon as
