Chapter 1
On my son's birthday, I met bandits in the wild.
When I came to my senses, I called my husband as soon as possible, but he hung up my call directly.
The bandit dragged me out of the car and stabbed me 50 times with a knife.
My neck was almost broken, and my internal organs were scattered all over my body.
They thought that I would die for sure, and they even said their names in front of me.
The group of people then drove away my car. I held my neck with one hand and covered my internal organs with my coat with the other as I climbed onto the road for help.
When I was sent to the hospital, I still could not get through to my husband.
However, I saw a photo of him celebrating our son's birthday with his secretary on his Instagram.
A month later, I proposed a divorce on the day I was discharged from the hospital.
From the moment I was out of danger to the moment I was discharged from the hospital, Sean had not called me for a whole month.
The only message was the interrogation on the day of that incident.
[Just because I didn't answer your call, really? Is there a need to go missing? If you don't come back soon, don't come back forever!]
After that, he blocked my number.
I endured the pain all over my body and opened Instagram to torture myself day after day.
He would post photos of him going to the amusement park with our son and his secretary, Emily, every week.
They were like a real family.
We've been married for six years, but I haven't had the chance to appear on his social media. Now, he easily rewarded it to another woman.
The questions that I had once suspected of stabbed me in the heart, making my heart so broken.
Scar wound covered from my chest to my lower abdomen, and there was no intact skin on my neck.
The physical pain was nothing compared to the pain of being betrayed.
I lay in the hospital and struggled for my life. Yet at home, he took his son to recognize his new mother.
My broken heart gradually sank to the bottom, and I only felt sad for myself.
After I was discharged from the hospital, in order to cover the horrible scar on my neck, I tied a thick scarf on a hot day.
After a month, I finally stood at the door of our house again.
But my fingerprints couldn't open the door no matter how hard I tried. The sound of the door being locked kept ringing in my ears.
I thought that my fingerprints were worn out while struggling, so I tried again and again unwillingly.
Sean did not come back until the lock automatically called the police.
His gaze fell on me, who was squatting helplessly at the door. The anxiety on his face then turned into disgust.
He reached out to open the door and said sarcastically, "You came back so quickly. Why didn't you wait for your son to become an adult before entering the house? Anna, do you still remember that you have a home?"
For a moment, the scar on my neck hurt, and the grievance that I had endured alone for a month spilled out of my chest.
I got up and stared at him with red eyes. "Why didn't you answer my call a month ago? Did you give me a chance to explain? Did you ever worry about me driving alone at night?"
"Or do you think it's better for me to die outside, so as not to delay your and Emily's dates?"
"Right, you have posted so many posts about her. Let's wait for your official announcement, shall we?"
When I asked this question, I could not help but tremble.
Sean changed his shoes and turned to scold me with a gloomy face, "How many times have I told you that Emily is just my secretary? She is capable and excellent. Do you think I will fire her just because you are jealous of her?"
"If you hadn't arrived home on time that day, our son wouldn't have been crying so hard. I coaxed him, so I didn't have time to answer your phone. How dare you get angry with me now?"
The moment I heard this, my eyes widened in disbelief.
Did I manage to escape from hell just to see his cold and ruthless face?
Seeing that I was silent, he continued,
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for Emily, your son would have been sent to the hospital that day!"
The next second, I lost control of my emotions. Tears welled up in my eyes as I roared at him.
"Yes, he's my son. It has nothing to do with you!"
"So don't compete with me after the divorce! My son is mine, and I don't need your help in the future!"
The man in front of me is the man I've loved for six years, but now the only feeling I have left for him is disappointment.
Chapter 2
Sean's impatient expression froze when he heard the word divorce.
At this time, Emily led my son into the room and naturally put my son's schoolbag on the cabinet.
She said softly, "Anna, you're back! Why are you fighting? I'll take the child in. Have a peaceful talk."
As soon as she finished speaking, she skillfully changed her shoes and took my son into the room.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I could not help sneering.
"In less than a month, she makes this place her home. Sean, what else do you want to explain?"
I was in the hospital struggling to survive and he was at home dating his lover.
Hearing my question, he lit his cigarette irritably and looked impatient.
"Whatever. I have nothing to explain. You can think whatever you want. Your heart is dirty and that's your fault."
At this time, Emily turned around and walked towards me.
She handed me a disc.
"Anna, don't be angry. Is it because of the child's birthday that day? I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to make it in time and would get angry when you came back, so Mr. Miller specially carved a CD after recording so that you can watch it at any time."
Then, she said with grievance,
"I just didn't expect you to come back so late. It may be difficult to explain to your son..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sean immediately said angrily,
"What do you mean by that? You did it out of kindness. There's no need to explain to her what I'm doing, as if I'm the one who's been fooling around for a whole month!"
I slapped Emily on the arm and the disc fell to the ground.
"Since you think so, let's get a divorce. The child is mine."
After that, I ignored his angry expression and went straight to my room to pack up my luggage.
After a while, Sean kicked open my room door angrily.
He said angrily, "You've been fooling around with that man for a month and now you want to divorce me?"
"Anna, Are you crazy? You want to live with another man and my son? Do you think I'm an idiot!?"
Hearing this, my hands froze and I turned to look at him in shock.
"I've been fooling around for a month? Sean, do you know how I got through this month? Do you know..."
Without waiting for me to finish, Sean interrupted impatiently.
His tone was full of sarcasm.
"How did you get through it? You are cheating on me! What else could it be?"
"I bought you a car and you gave it to another man. What else do you want to say? Do you think I don't know? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Or do you want to say that you lost your car with the key? And that you lost all the bank cards I gave you?"
In an instant, I swallowed all the words I wanted to say.
At this moment, there was no need to vent all my grievances.
There was no longer any love in his eyes, and it was impossible for him to feel sorry for me.
I sneered.
As I sneered, tears flowed down her cheeks and fell to the ground.
The doctor said that my chance of survival was very small. I didn't cry at that time.
He said that there might be serious sequelae if I survived, but I didn't cry.
But in this moment, I don't know what I'm holding out for.
As expected, after I lost control and cried, Sean's impatient expression became even more intense, and his eyes were full of disgust.
Emily saw that something was wrong, so she came in and tried to pull my arm.
I shook her off again.
Sean gritted his teeth in anger, and his eyes were burning with anger.
"Emily has been taking care of your son for a month. What's your attitude now? Does she owe you anything? Or do I owe you something? If you come back to make things difficult for us, then never come back!"
The hatred in his eyes fell into my eyes, and all my emotions disappeared in an instant.
I could only nod numbly.
"I won't show up ever again after you sign the divorce papers."
"I won't be so ignorant as to disturb your lives. You don't have to find excuses for socializing at night and try every means to lie to me."
As soon as I finished speaking, Sean grabbed his hair with both hands angrily.
"How many times have I explained? What did I say when you disappeared for a month? You can't even mention it, can you!?"
"You're going to divorce as soon as your son goes to school. Anna, do you still love this family? What do my son and I count as in your mind? How much trouble do you want to make for no reason before you're willing to give up?!"
"I've been busy with the company's affairs and taking care of your son for the past month. I'm about to break down. Do you have to make trouble for me when you come back?!"
I watched expressionlessly as he collapsed.
I found it ridiculous.
Emily was a little scared, but she still reached out and pulled Sean's sleeve naturally.
"Mr. Miller, don't be angry. Although the man is in the car, you have to give Anna a chance to explain."
Then, she turned to me and said softly, "Sister, why did you give your card to someone else? That man has sent all the text messages about his consumption to Mr. Miller. It's not easy for me to explain it for you..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I slapped her delicate face.
Chapter 3
There was a crisp sound, and Sean's eyes were burning with unprecedented anger.
His murderous gaze fell on my neck.
Stunned, I quickly pulled on my scarf.
However, he still saw some scars from the stitches.
He grabbed my wrist so hard that it trembled.
"What's that around your neck? What's that red thing? Anna, I really didn't expect you to be so disgusting!"
"The traces of cheating haven't disappeared yet. Now you're targeting my son. Are you shameless?"
After that, he shook my wrist hard, and my arm hit my face heavily.
My nose was bleeding on the spot.
Seeing this, Emily hurried out to grab a tissue and handed it to me.
My face twisted in pain. I looked up and shouted at her, "Get lost! Do not pretend to be kind in front of me!"
I didn't believe that the police didn't tell her that it was an accident car when she went to check the license number!
But she hid everything and turned to splash dirty water on me!
I reached out to touch my face, and the fire in my heart burned hotter and hotter.
Hearing the noise, my son staggered out of the room.
He came to us and whispered, "What's wrong with Mommy and Daddy?"
When he turned around and saw Emily crying with grievance, he started to babble anxiously.
"Auntie... don't cry... Mom is bad..."
In an instant, my heart sank to the bottom.
Sean scolded harshly, "Anna, look at you! Are you going crazy in front of your son? Don't you think it's enough? Do you want the whole city to know that my wife cheated on you and even put the blame on me?"
When our son heard his father's roar, he burst into tears on the spot.
I hurriedly reached out to hug him, but he hid in the arms of Emily in front of me.
It was as if I was a devil from hell.
"Anna, don't be angry. The child is innocent. You can't vent your anger on the child. What can he understand at such a young age?"
I could not help but shout at her uncontrollably.
"Enough! What does my son know at such a young age? He was only close to me a month ago. I don't believe he can act like that without any one telling him that!"
"Emily, I can tolerate you, and I can give you my position, but you can't use my son as a tool to compete for favor!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the son in her arms cried even louder.
"I don't want a cheating Mom! I don't want Mom anymore... Bad Mom, bad Mom..."
Emily looked panicked, but there was a flash of pride in her eyes.
The next second, I rushed forward and grabbed her collar tightly, my eyes red.
"What on earth did you say to my son? You bitch!"
Sean slapped me hard on the arm and pushed me away.
I fell backward uncontrollably.
His angry curses came to my ears.
"Lunatic! You're crazy now!"
The movement was too big, revealing the redness on my neck.
Sean gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Anna, tighten your scarf. Don't let me see that disgusting thing!"
I frantically reached out to cover my eyes, but the scene of him returning home late at night with red marks flashed through my mind.
Countless times, when Emily accompanied him to socialize and sent him home.
One person's lipstick had lost its color, and one person's collar was covered in lip prints.
I was so angry that my chin was shaking.
"Sean, you're not qualified to scold me! You're the dirtiest one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed my neck with a ferocious look.
The wound that had just healed was suddenly hit by an external force, and the pain was almost unbearable.
Sean gritted his teeth and said, "You cheated on me and now you are afraid that our son knows? Why didn't you think about today when you did it?"
"Didn't I give you enough money to keep another man? You even want to swipe my card. You almost shit on me! Anna, am I too gentle?!"
Hearing this, Emily had just coaxed my son and spoke in a hurry.
"Mr. Miller, the secondary card has been suspended. Don't be angry. It's more important to solve the problem now."
Sean calmed down a little when he heard this.
He said coldly, "Anna, why didn't you just die outside? If you died, I could pretend that nothing had happened. Why did you have to come back now?!"
A cold smile appeared on my face as I pushed his hand away from my neck.
"I don't come back so I can make room for the two of you? You are dreaming!"
"When I leave with my son, I won't even spare you a glance even if you beg me!"
After that, I endured the pain in my neck and got up from the bed.
I rushed to Emily and reached out to grab my son.
My son was so scared that he began to suffer on the spot.
Emily quickly moved aside to block my attack.
"Anna, don't be like this. The child is crying because of you. He..."
Without waiting for her to finish, I slapped her on the other side of the face.
"It's none of your business! If you talk nonsense to him again, I'll tear your mouth apart! Anyway, I have died once, so I'm not afraid of anything!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Sean kicked me hard in the back.
I fell forward on the ground.
The scarf around my neck fell off, revealing a circle of horrible scars.
My phone fell out of my pocket and rang at this moment.
Sean stared at my neck as if he couldn't hear it.
My wound felt inexplicably hot under his gaze.
The phone rang for a long time. Maybe it was because no one answered, the person called again.
When I struggled to get up and was about to take out my phone, Sean snatched it from me.
"What's wrong? You've just returned home for half a day, and he can't stand it anymore? He's swiping my card to sleep with my wife and you're not letting us chat?"
After that, he directly pressed the answer button and turned on the speaker.
The police officer's anxious voice suddenly sounded.
"Ms. Miller, are you all right? You didn't answer the phone just now. I thought someone had escaped to take revenge on you. We successfully arrested the suspect according to the name you reported last time, and your car has been detained. I heard from the doctor that you have been discharged from the hospital. Please come to the police station as soon as possible!"
