I didn’t want to argue with him, didn’t want to end up parting on bad terms, so I calmly and peacefully said these things to him. 

Looking at me, his handsome face trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing his emotions. After a brief silence, he looked at me and asked, “Do you really hate me that much?” 

I shook my head, “No, I don’t hate you. I just want to start a new life. A lot has happened recently, and I want to give myself some time to sort everything out. I don’t want to continue living in a daze like before.” 

He pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. 

I didn’t know if he had taken in my words, I took a slight breath and said, “Because of what happened five years ago, I’ve been brooding over it. There are many things that I’ve never thought about whether I truly wanted them or not. Marrying you was for the Conner Group, for my father. Later, I thought you were not bad, and it was quite good to live with you peacefully. But Song Yueyu appeared and messed up a lot of things. I’ve never thought about what I really want. Initially, I wanted to divorce you because I resented the way you treated me, but now it’s not. I want to calm down and think about what I really want.” 

After speaking, I looked at him, my gaze calm and composed. 

He seemed to take my words into consideration, and after a long silence, he looked at me and asked, “Would you still see me if I got a divorce?” 

I was taken aback for a moment, couldn’t help but laugh, looking at him, “It seems like I’ve never avoided you, have I?” 

He paused, nodded, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, “Okay.”

After waiting for a few seconds, he fell silent. I thought he had more to say, but all he responded was a simple “okay”, and then there was nothing. 

Seeing this, I didn’t have much left either. 

After my mother finished the discharge procedures, she came up and saw him there as well. Probably because she knew that Walter had saved me, she didn’t frown like before. She just looked at him and gave a slight nod, then turned to me and said, “Tabatha, the discharge procedures are done. Xiao Shen said he will come to pick us up later.” 

I nodded and left the ward with my mother. 

Walter followed us to the hospital lobby and said, “I’ll take you to the station.” 

I was just about to open my mouth to refuse when he said again, “If you don’t want me to take you, Roy is here, let him take you.” 

The conversation had reached this point, and it seemed that there was nothing more I could say. I could only nod. 

Roy indeed was waiting outside, and when he saw me, he greeted me as always, “Madam.” 

I wanted to emphasize, but then I thought better of it, since this person seemed to not listen to me no matter what I said. In the car, my mother called Alexander to meet directly at the station. 

The speakerphone was on, and Alexander’s voice came from the other end, “Auntie Eileen, I might not be able to come back with you guys for a while, I’ve run into some issues here that I need to deal with.” 

The mother asked worriedly, “What’s the matter? Is it serious?” 

“It’s from my parents’ side, don’t worry. Marjorie and I plan to take
