With no other choice, I went to my father-in-law's house and told him the truth about my mother's illness. My father-in-law, who had just been discharged from the hospital, gave me $10,000 without a word. I didn't refuse, and after taking it, I was about to write an IOU. "The money you spent on our treatment, I've kept track of every penny. This is your own money." My father-in-law refused. Before leaving, he asked about Olivia again. I thought the divorce couldn't be hidden anyway, so I just told him straight. "What a mess..." I didn't answer. After giving the money to the hospital, I stayed with my mom at the hospital. She sighed, saying we hadn't spent so much time together in a long time. I felt extremely ashamed. During this time, Olivia called me to urge me to come home. "I'm not coming back tonight, that's it." I didn't have the heart to talk to her much. After that, I didn't answer any of her calls. I just chatted with my mom about traveling to relax after she recovered. It wasn't until the next day, after I had confirmed the surgery date with the doctor and reassured my mom, that I went home. As soon as I got home, I saw Olivia sitting on the sofa with a dark face. "Signed it?" I directly bypassed her to look at the divorce agreement on the table. Unexpectedly, she snatched it first and tore it to pieces. "Enough, Luke. How long are you going to keep this up? Taking things to the point of divorce, just because I didn't come home that day?" "When did you become so unreasonable? You weren't like this before!" "Say something!" Olivia was in a rage. I just stood there silently looking at her. In the past, it was always me who was angry and irritable like this. Suddenly, I understood her a little. People who lose control of their emotions are really ugly. "Fine, I know what you mean." Seeing that I didn't speak, Olivia sneered and started to undress in front of me, moving very quickly. "What are you doing?" I stopped her. "I know you're not satisfied with me going to take care of Ethan, but there's nothing between us. I'm still pure. Now I'm giving myself to you, is that okay?" "You don't need to refuse, this is my duty as a wife, isn't it?" After saying this, she pushed away my hand and stubbornly continued to undress. I walked to the window and pulled the curtains. When I turned back, I found her looking at me mockingly: "What, you want to do it in the living room?" "Undress if you want to, Olivia. I'll tell you one last time, I'm serious about the divorce." After saying this, I walked past her towards the door. "Stop right there!" I turned my head to look at her, somewhat impatiently. It turns out that when I used to cling to her, I was this annoying. "Olivia, have you really never seen the problems between us? It's already beyond repair." "Can't we just be civilized about this?" After hearing this, her face turned pale. Olivia also realized that I seemed different from before. "Maybe there are some misunderstandings between us. I know you might feel a bit unbalanced after taking care of my father recently. I apologize to you. If I've done anything too much, tell me, I can change..." Just then, her phone notification sounded. She instinctively opened it. "Olivia, the potted plant you gave me lost two leaves today. Is it going to wither... I feel a bit tight in my chest." A very affected voice came from inside. Ethan always spoke with a lack of energy. In the past, I would get physiologically agitated just hearing his voice, involuntarily angry. But now, I just want Olivia to sign the divorce papers quickly and lock herself down with him. "Don't overthink it, I'll be there soon." Olivia's face changed, and she quickly put on her clothes. As she passed by me, she seemed to remember something. "Ethan is at a critical point in his treatment recently. The nurse asked me to stay with him as much as possible..." "I know, you don't need to explain." "I promise you, after he gets through this course of treatment, I'll give you an explanation." I frowned, about to say it wasn't necessary. But she ran off quickly, not giving me a chance.
