Vanessa endured the pain in her abdomen and came out of the hospital hall.There was a long staircase at the door. Vanessa took two steps down, but she couldn't take a step because of the pain in her abdomen.The nurse's words echoed to her ear when she just left the ward, "Mrs. Simon, you just had an abortion. I suggest that you rest in the hospital for two days. Otherwise, your body will not be able to stand it and leave some sequelae."Vanessa pressed her lower abdomen hard and closed her eyes with a bitter smile.She was dying of cancer, so why bother about the sequelae …Tomorrow was Oswald's birthday, so she must go back and decorate the house in advance to accompany him for his birthday.Taking a deep breath, Vanessa continued down the stairs.After walking a few steps, she broke out in cold sweat because of the pain and her face turned pale.At this time, a black car suddenly opened under the stairs. The car stopped and Oswald pushed open the door.When Vanessa saw him, she remembered that she had an abortion just now. She panicked and couldn't help but take two steps back with a panicked expression.Oswald did not miss the panic in her actions. His expression became even colder. He strode up the stairs and rushed to Vanessa. He grabbed her collar and pulled her over roughly."Vanessa, I told you not to look for Elena anymore, don't you understand?" Oswald's voice was filled with anger.Vanessa was stunned for a moment, "I didn't …""Stop lying." Oswald pushed Vanessa so hard that she fell onto the stairs. The prismatic stairs hurt Vanessa's tail bones and her face turned even paler."I saw it with my own eyes in the surveillance cameras!" Oswald lowered his eyes and said, "Now that Elena has been stimulated, she starts to hurt herself again. I'll get even with you!"With that, Oswald grabbed Vanessa's wrist and dragged her down.Vanessa's abdominal pain was unbearable. She couldn't stand up at all. After being dragged a few steps, she rolled down the stairs out of control and fell two steps. She was stopped because Oswald pulled her wrist.She knelt on the stairs with a twisted posture, stabilizing her body by Oswald's pull."Oswald, will you listen to my explanation? I really don't …"But before she could finish speaking, Oswald suddenly let go of his hand. Vanessa lost his support, tilted her body, and tumbled down the stairs.A dozen steps, she just rolled down like this.When Vanessa finally stopped on the flat ground, her entire body was in intense pain. She almost fainted.Oswald sorted out the cuffs ruffled by Vanessa and looked angry. He walked down the stairsslowly and stopped in front of Vanessa who was lying on the ground and could not stand for a long time."Vanessa, I hope this is the last time I warn you. Stay away from Elena." His tone was ice—cold and full of threats, "Otherwise, next time, I will not just make you hurt so lightly like this."Oswald slowly bent down, his handsome face approaching Vanessa."Next time, I will cripple your legs so that you can never go out again in this lifetime, understand?"Vanessa lay on the ground, enduring the double pain in her body and heart. She stared at the floor and said weakly, "Oswald, aren't you curious why I appear at the hospital gate?"Oswald frowned, "Could it be that you have a terminal illness? Are you going to die?"Vanessa's heart skipped a beat. Before she could say anything, she heard Oswald's cold voice, "That would be even better. Lest I feel you in the way when I see you."Vanessa closed her lips, unable to speak.Yes, how could Oswald care whether she was dead or alive?Oswald squatted down, grabbed her chin, and raised her pale face."Vanessa, I don't care if you're alive or dead, so don't try to make me sympathize with you. I won't fall for it. I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt Elena again, I'll make your life a living hell."

After Oswald threatened her, he directly left Vanessa at the entrance of the hospital and drove away.Vanessa lay on the ground, her arms and knees hurting so much that she couldn't use any strength. Her abdomen hurt so much because of having an abortion. She hurt so hard to breathe.She lay on her stomach for a long time, but she did not have the strength to get up. She was helped up by a kindhearted passer—by and sent to the hospital again.When the nurse who persuaded her to be hospitalized before saw her come back miserably, and asked Vanessa in surprise what happened.Vanessa lowered her eyes in embarrassment and said, "Nothing. I accidentally fell down the stairs …"The nurse hurriedly supported her and persuaded, "You might as well stay in the hospital for a while. Having an abortion is different from other surgeries. If you leave behind any gynecological sequelae, you will be tortured for the rest of your life."Vanessa listened in a trance, feeling sad.She originally wanted to rest in the hospital for one night, and came back to home early the next morning, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly have a high fever in the night. She didn't even have the strength to get out of bed. She had an intravenous drip, and then the fever subsided the next evening.In a serious illness, Vanessa's body was weak, and dizzy. Not to mention the pain in her joints, even the pain in her liver had broken out. The sharp and lingering pain caused Vanessa to curl up her body and groan endlessly.She was so miserable that her consciousness was muddled. Suddenly, her phone rang.Vanessa struggled to pick up her phone and answered the phone."Vanessa, where are you?" Oswald's voice was filled with anger."I … um …" Just as Vanessa said one word, she was forced to mutter by the pain in her liver. Her breathing was heavy and her entire body was covered in cold sweat."What are you doing?" Oswald's voice suddenly turned cold. He did not hear the suppressed pain in Vanessa's voice. He only felt ambiguous.It was as if this woman was doing shameless things with other men while answering his phone.Vanessa was so painful that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't help puffing."Vanessa, get the hell back here right now!" Oswald bellowed, his anger surging.Vanessa closed her eyes, and hung up the phone.She really didn't have the strength to appease Oswald's anger.She was in great pain …On the other side, Oswald paused for two seconds in disbelief when he heard the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, then he suddenly smashed his phone.Today was his birthday, sohe took the initiative to go home. He thought that he would see the woman cooking a lot of dishes for him to celebrate his birthday, but when he pushed open the door, he saw only the silence in the room.He called that woman and wanted her to come back, but that woman was actually sleeping with another man!He was more and more angry. Oswald lost control of his emotions and kicked the coffee table again.The coffee table was kicked down, the vase on it shattered, the flowers fell, and the petals scattered all over the ground."Vanessa!" Oswald fell down on the sofa, gritted his teeth, and called her name.He raised his hand to support his forehead and thought about how he would punish and torture that woman when she came back. However, the few ambiguous gasps from the phone just now still lingered in his mind.Oswald gritted his teeth tightly and endured until veins burst out from his forehead.Time passed minute by minute.When the sun rose outside the window, the sun shone through the glass and spilled all the way to Oswald's feet.That woman still hadn't returned.Oswald finally ran out of patience. He stood up and strode out.When he passed by the living room, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the wedding photo hanging on the wall of the living room.In the photo, Oswald was expressionless, while Vanessa wore a sweet smile. Her face was filled with happiness.It was really an eyesore.Oswald pulled off the photo and smashed it on the ground. The frame glass shattered, and the photo fell out. Oswald stepped it a few more times.He would never enter this so—called home again."Bang!"Oswald slammed the door and left.

Vanessa went home two days later.She had been calling Oswald for the past two days, but the phone had been blocked and he did not reply to her text messages.It must be that she didn't celebrate his birthday for him like before, which made Oswald angry.Vanessa pushed open the door and saw the crumpled wedding photo that had been thrown on the ground.She paused for a moment and slowly walked over. She picked up the wedding photos with footprints and cleaned up the dust and glass fragments. Then she saw the coffee table and the withered flowers.Vanessa crouched down to pick up the withered flowers. As soon as she touched it, the petals on the flower fell to the ground miserably.Vanessa looked at the scattered petals and suddenly had a strong premonition.Her marriage to Oswald would soon be completely over.Vanessa held the flowers and sat on the sofa for a long time. Then, she went upstairs and quickly printed out a divorce agreement.She signed it, took a picture, and sent it to Oswald."I've already prepared the divorce papers. When are you free? Come here and we'll see each other one last time."She sent the message to Oswald, but he still did not reply.Vanessa waited until the next day. She had no choice but to contact the secretary in charge of Oswald's scheduling to find out when Oswald was free.This secretary's name was Morgan Turner, and he had a good relationship with Vanessa.He replied, "Mr. Simon brings someone to travel abroad. He will come back the day after tomorrow.""Who?"After a while, Morgan replied, "It's Miss Martha."Elena, Vanessa felt a little sad. Her phone shook again. Morgan sent a message, "Oh right, Manager Toland, I heard that you resigned. Is that true?""It's true," said Vanessa. "The handover has been completed. I'll come to the company to get my personal belongings tomorrow."Morgan sighed, thought it was a pity.Vanessa was capable, kind and generous, often treated colleagues to supper and coffee. People in the company all liked her.The next day, Vanessa went to the company early in the morning, packed her things, and finally, she took out a brown paper bag from her bag.After hesitating for a long time, she handed it over to Morgan."When Oswald comes back, please pass it to him for me. Tell him that it is very important."Morgan said, "Since it's important, why didn't you personally hand it over to him?"Vanessa smiled bitterly and shook her head. She thought, after all, she didn't have many days to live. Before she left, she really wanted to see Oswald again. However, Oswald didn't want to see her.Vanessa left the company home, and began to pack. She was ready to go abroad to treat her liver cancer.Saying that it was treatment was actually just a dying struggle.The doctor said that she was already in the advanced stage, and the chances of being cured were less than five percent.She booked a flight at noon the next day.Oswald's flight was also at noon on this day.Morgan came to pick him up.After the plane landed, Elena said that she was hungry, so Oswald took her to the airport restaurant to eat.Morgan saw Oswald having time now, so he took out the envelope that Vanessa had given him, "This is a very important document left behind by Manager Toland after she left office," he said.Oswald suddenly raised his head and stared fiercely at Morgan, "Leave office?"Morgan said, "Yes, Mr. Simon, don't you know?"Even her job was handed over, indicating that the application for resignation had been handed in at least three weeks ago.Oswald tightened his lips, and looked angry.Elena, who was drinking porridge at the side, turned her eyes, raised her pale face, and timidly asked softly, "Why did she resign?"Morgan shook his head and said he didn't know.Oswald gritted his teeth, pulled out the file bag, and opened it.Divorce Agreement—these words instantly jumped into Oswald's eyes, causing him to freeze.Elena secretly caught a glimpse of the word divorce. Her eyes were filled with joy, and she immediately lowered her head to drink porridge to disguise herself.The atmosphere at the dining table was so cold that no one dared to make a sound.Morgan turned his eyes away in boredom. He happened to see Vanessa who was dragging her suitcase. He was surprised, "Mrs. Simon?"Oswald suddenly raised his head, his gaze firmly grabbing onto Vanessa's slender figure.Oswald kicked the chair away and rushed out of the restaurant.
