Anthony's mouth curved with mockery.
That laughter, upon closer inspection, was actually mocking himself.
"You've known me for a while now. Is it necessary to be so surprised?"
Mavis was in a panic, still holding the pen. Her hand was shaking, but she did not dare to pull it out, afraid of bleeding.
His lips lost a bit of color, his brow furrowed with pain, but he still smiled and said, "So this is what it feels like to be wrongly accused and unable to defend. It really hurts."
"If you insist on signing, I agree. Just take out that ballpoint pen and continue signing now."
Mavis looked at him incredulously, "You're absolutely crazy."
He was breathing heavily, with a paranoid smile on his lips and his eyes gradually becoming weak. He could barely stand upright.
Mavis had to support him and called an ambulance.
...
Within one day, Anthony went to the hospital twice. He sat by his hospital bed while medical staff disinfected and dressed his wound.
With a small screen blocking her view, Mavis listened to the doctor's medical advice.
"The ballpoint pen pierced deeply and almost reached his heart, but fortunately it was handled in time and there was not too much bleeding. In the future, you should control his emotions better. It's normal for couples to argue, but you shouldn't resort to violence easily. It would be terrible if someone got hurt."
Mavis's mouth twitched, "It wasn't me... he hurt himself."
The doctor was shocked. When he was angry, he can even kill himself?
What a tough man!.
He wrote in the medical record and said, "Mr. Callahan had suffered a very serious gunshot wound before, with obvious old scars on his chest and heart area. The location of the injury is two centimeters away from where he was poked with the ballpoint pen. Please advise him to take care of himself and not to joke around with his life."
The doctor thought that the gunshot wound was also self-inflicted by Anthony.
After all, if he can stab himself with a ballpoint pen, his brain must have been abnormal before.
Mavis was surprised.
She remembered the last time she had seen Anthony's traumatized body, so many wounds that she couldn't tell what they were.
Thinking about these things, she couldn't express what emotions she was feeling, but overall, it wasn't very comfortable.
"I will let him know, doctor. Thank you."
As soon as the doctor left, Mavis went around the screen to check Anthony's medication situation.
The man sitting on the hospital bed, originally had a straight back and a carefree expression on his face.
In the instant, he caught a glimpse of that graceful figure from the corner of his eye. He let out a soft hiss and furrowed his brows, shifting slightly to the side. "Are you choking me so tightly, aiming to take my life?"
"Ah?" The nurse who was wrapping the bandage looked confused. He didn't use much force, did he?
The male nurse turned back to look at Mavis and seemed to understand something. "Girls have weaker strength than mine, so their grip must be much lighter," he said.
He handed the unfinished bandage on his hand to Mavis, bowed slightly, and left the ward.
Mavis walked slowly over and sat down by the bed.
While she was focused on bandaging the wound, Anthony was staring at her intently, lost in thought.
From Teflayria to Crana, she had pursued him for five years. What exactly did he need to do to regain her attention and once again capture the deep love she once gave him without reservation?
"It's okay."
Mavis's voice brought his thoughts back, and he was about to say something when he saw Mavis stand up to leave.
"Where to?" he grabbed her hand.
"I have already handled everything on your end. There is no big problem. I will go downstairs to check on Moore."
The wound that was just bandaged up suddenly began to hurt again in an instant.
"Raymond is taking care of things over there. Why don't you sit here and then we can chat?"
Mavis looked indifferent and said, "There's nothing to talk about."
Anthony held her hand tightly and asked, "Are you still going to sign the divorce agreement?"
She nodded.
Still signing... did she need to continue signing even if she needed to change the pen?
Feeling angry and with a sharp pain in his chest like needles, he could only drown his sorrows in bitter.
