“Linda…”

Upon entering the room, Mark, unable to endure it any longer, collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

The sound jolted Linda back to her senses. With no time to wear her slippers, she dashed out of the bathroom. When she saw Mark lying on the ground holding his leg, she felt as if someone had stabbed her in her heart. At the same time, it cemented her resolve to break up.

“I’ll call for an ambulance so that you’ll be taken to the hospital…”

Suppressing her urge to go to his side, she picked up the phone by the bed and made the call.

It wasn’t until the paramedics knocked on the door that Mark finally let her go.

Staring at her swollen lips, he declared in a raspy voice, “From now on, we are strangers to each other…”
