Chapter 140
Mypast self had always hoped Irvin would choose her for once whenever a situation like this occurred. She had hoped he wouldn’t choose Julianne again, who would obviously pretend to fant.
However, the current me desperately hoped otherwise.
I prayed his heart would break for her just like it always did in the past whenever she fainted. I hoped he would drop everything else, rush over, and sweep her away.
That way, I could finally divorce him!
Irvin had saved me once before. And he had done it again just now But no matter what, the harm he had caused me couldn’t be wiped clean.
I felt conflicted because he had saved me. However, it doesn’t change my desire to divorce him.
Besides, my past self had also saved him many times before. In fact, if we were keeping score, I had saved him more times than he had. So I didn’t owe him a thing.
Thus, I prayed he would choose Julianne. This way, our marriage would come to a quick and clean end.
However, just like always, he dashed my hopes again.
I used to long for him to choose me in the past, but he hadn’t done so once. Now, I didn’t want him to choose me. And the one time I wholeheartedly wished he would choose Julianne, he had chosen me.
It didn’t matter that Julianne had fainted so realistically. He refused to put me down. All he did was get the paramedics to carry her into the ambulance.
I watched Julianne as she was being carried off. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her veins were bulging.
I still ended up following Irvin to the hospital.
However, it wasn’t for me. It was to get his injuries treated.
The police had questioned me about what had happened after the ambulance left. That was when they discovered a piece of debris from the car was stuck in Irvin’s back.
It was embedded in his flesh. Blood was flowing from the wound. Yet, Irvin acted as though it wasn’t there. His only concern was
The police commended me for finding such a good husband. They said men like him were hard to come by. So I should cherish him well.
I couldn’t stop myself from smiling sardonically at their words.
I thought back to the moment I was standing at the edge of a cliff. The kidnappers had forced him to choose between me and Julianne.
Without hesitation, he had chosen to let me die.
My life had been hanging by a thread after falling off the cliff. The hospital had called him urgently. Yet, he was too busy cooking stew for Julianne to sign my treatment consent forms.
I had stayed in the hospital for over three months. Yet, he stubbornly thought I was faking it.
How could such a husband be a rare exception in the world?
This made me feel the world wasn’t just crazy but utterly nonsensical.

A doctor treated Irvin’s back once we arrived at the hospital. Once he was done, he learned how Irvin had sustained the injury.
Similar to the police officers, the doctor also commented on how wonderful of a husband he was,
There weren’t many men who would shield their wives with their own bodies in this day and age. Thus, he said I was a good judge of character. I had chosen the right person and had married well.
I forced a smile but didn’t say anything.
