When she finished, she looked at David for the first time since she had woken up. “Sign this,” she said, her voice low but firm, “and let’s not see each other ever again.”
David froze. His breath caught. “Lily… don’t play with me,” he said through clenched teeth.
She let out a small scoff, bitter and broken. “Play with you? No, David. I’m ending this game. I can’t handle it anymore.” Her voice cracked slightly, but her eyes stayed steady. “Because of your lover, I lost my child. Don’t you dare forget that.”
Her words hit him like a knife to the chest. David stiffened. His throat felt dry; he wanted to say something, to defend himself, to say he was sorry but the look in her eyes stopped him.
“Sign it,” Lily said again, pushing the papers toward him.
Roy quickly reached over and took the papers, scanning them carefully. He frowned, then looked at David. “Boss…” he said quietly. “It’s… divorce papers. No conditions. No alimony. Nothing.”
David’s jaw tightened. He turned his eyes to Lily again. She was sitting there, pale and fragile, yet her eyes were full of quiet determination. It wasn’t a threat. It wasn’t anger. It was the final goodbye.
David took the papers from Roy’s hands. For a long moment, he just stared at them. He had seen her beg for divorce before, threaten to leave but this time was different. There was no emotion left in her voice. No anger. Just emptiness.
He picked up the pen and signed without hesitation.
David looked at her with a faint, bitter smile. “You think it’s that easy, don’t you?” he said quietly.
David set the pen down, his eyes cold and unreadable. “You really think a few papers can make me walk away from you?” he said slowly. “That’s not going to happen, Lily. Not now. Not ever.”
Lily’s expression hardened. “You already took everything from me, David. What more do you want?”
He didn’t answer. He just stood there, watching her, his heart burning but his pride stronger than his guilt.
Roy looked between them, feeling the tension thick enough to choke on. He knew what David was thinking, he may have signed those papers, but he would never actually let her go. Lily didn’t even look at David. She turned to the lawyer instead, her face calm but her eyes cold. “Get me the certificate today,” she said firmly.
The lawyer nodded quickly. “Alright, Miss Collins.”
“And finish the hospital procedure. I’m leaving today,” she added without hesitation.
“Understood,” he replied softly and walked out of the room, leaving a heavy silence behind.
David stood frozen for a moment, then stepped closer. “Lily, don’t be stupid,” he said, his voice rising in panic.
“You can’t leave the hospital. You’re still weak!”
