The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 167

"The issues between me and Abigail are not something outsiders can understand," I said.

Blair's eyes flickered with disappointment when I used the word "outsiders". She hesitated, as if wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Seeing that Blair seemed to be convinced, I continued, "Abigail is my wife, and that's an undeniable fact. As long as we are not divorced, she's still my wife. The issues between us are our own private matters, and you should understand that."

Blair's eyes welled up with tears after my harsh words. She seemed to want to say something but couldn't find the words.

I sighed. I hadn't meant to be so harsh, but her constant pursuit had really been bothering me. If I didn't make myself clear, she might get the wrong idea.

Once I finished speaking, I turned and walked away without looking back. Russell hesitated for a moment before quickly following me. Blair's relentless pursuit had gone on for too long. I couldn't give her any more chances.

Russell, always my good friend, seemed to sense my unease and didn't ask any questions. Instead, he simply took me to see Lana. he gave my shoulder a reassuring pat and offered me a small smile.

"Don't worry," he said. "Lana's test results should be back in the next few days. If everything's fine, they can schedule the surgery for the day after the results come in."

Hearing this, a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. The anxiety inside me finally eased, and exhaustion hit me all at once. I slumped into the chair, drawing in a deep breath.

"Relax," Russell said with a reassuring smile. "I'll take care of it. As soon as Lana's test results come back clear, we can perform the surgery right away."

I smiled and shook his hand, feeling grateful. "Thank you."
