“Yes,” I said.
I didn’t try to hide it.
Edward was silent. He mistakenly thought that I was still into Finn.
I let the silence hang for a second, then kept going.
“I need enough evidence to put Grace away. And I’m divorcing Finn. Edward, can you come get me?”
My explanation cheered him up.
He didn’t even let me finish and said, “I already tracked you to Riverside Hospital. I’m on my way.”
After a pause, I said, “Oh, I want you to prepare the divorce papers for me.”
True to his word, Edward moved fast. Within hours, I was settled in a private hospital, one of the Scott family’s properties with top tier security and complete privacy.
I went through the discharge procedures on my own. Sadly, Finn had never shown up.
Surely, he would camp out at Grace’s bedside, holding her hand and telling her everything would be okay.
I left the divorce papers prepared by Edward in Riverside Hospital so that Finn could sign once he went back to the hospital. Thinking of him, I put on a bitter smile.
Since they cared about each other so much, I would like to do them a favor by divorcing Finn.
The days I spent in the private hospital were not so boring as I had expected.
Back when I was still with Finn, he would always talk about putting work on hold to take care of me.
However, the truth was that he was by Grace’s side every second.
Finn would spend three hours in the kitchen making some fancy dessert Grace mentioned once.
He would call her a lazy little princess when she refused to do her own laundry, laughing at her jokes and wiping her tears.

My suffering was just background noise in their love story. Fortunately, this time, I retrieved my long-lost happiness thanks to

The food tasted like nothing from any restaurant. The flavor was unique and impressive.
But after graduation, I never tasted the same flavor again.
After I married Finn, I asked him to buy me those breakfasts again for old times’ sake.
However, Finn always made excuses to brush me off. Eventually, I just forgot it.
“Where did you get the food?” I asked.
The taste hit me the second I took a bite. I was so content that I closed my eyes.
Edwand stammered, “I grabbed them from an ordinary food store downstairs.”
For some reason, he was a little nervous.
My appetite turned large, and I cleared everything on the table.
When I looked up, Edward was sitting on that chair, his chin in his hands, watching me with a tender smile.
He mumbled under his breath, “Your appetite is still as good as it was when you were in college.”
I didn’t hear him clearly as his voice was low, so I asked, “What did you say?”
However, he scooted out the door before I could finish.
Three days passed before Finn saw me again in the hospital.
According to Edward’s investigation, Grace had a seizure the night she got home and got a serious fever.
Finn didn’t sleep for two days straight to look after her.

However, he completely forgot about me, his wife, who was in need of his care and love most but was left alone in Riverside Hospital.
When he went back to my ward only to find I was gone, he snapped, “Ella is so weak! How could she check out by herself?”
