They then looked at me as I lay on the hospital bed. Petra asked, "Why is she suddenly vomiting blood? Did they find anything?”
I did not speak, nor did I have the energy to open my mouth. I did not want to say anything at all.
Theo looked at them with a shockingly sullen gaze but still did not say anything. Thus began a long period of silence.
Theo, Petra, and Grayson all came to the hospital in the following days, but everyone chose to remain silent as though it was all planned.
Every time they came, I would pretend to be a mute no matter what they said to me.
I looked at each of their faces, finding the whole thing ridiculous the more I looked at them. My mother killed my child, and my husband was the instigator.
Was there anything in the world that was more absurd than this?
The blood I vomited was from my heart after holding back for too long, hence it was not considered an illness. I was discharged after four days.
Theo came to pick me up and brought me back to Regal Villa.
It turned out that once a person experienced something that was shocking enough, his or her personality could actually be altered.
I grew silent from the inside out.
I went upstairs and into the bedroom. Looking at every familiar object in the bedroom, I smiled sarcastically.
There were too many memories of me and Theo in this bedroom. There were good and bad memories. I could never have imagined that when I reminisced about the past memories again, Theo and my marriage would have come to an end. The memories between us were proof that I was nothing but a fool.
All these years, all the things I owned were given by someone under Theo's orders. I did not have many things. I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so I merely grabbed the bag I carried the most that contained all of my documents.
