"She's going to accompany Armand to the amusement park tomorrow. You can come with her. I'll give you money and you'll pay for them when they need it."

After saying that, he put his hand into my clothes.

I immediately stopped his hand and said, "I'm having my period."

He then withdrew his hand.

The next day, I followed along.

Armand had a heart disease and I was a little worried.

But when he found out that I was going with him, he pouted his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered.

"What? It would be such a bummer if you went with us!"

When we went to the amusement park, I repeatedly reminded Yasmin several times not to let Armand play anything too extreme.

She nodded affirmatively.

But just as I was about to pay, she took Armand to play with the pendulum rides.

Watching the pendulum swung back and forth in the sky, my heart also hung in the sky.

As soon as the ride stopped, I rushed over.

As expected, Armand fell into a coma and Yasmin froze in place, looking at him with a bewildered expression.

I immediately ran forward, called an ambulance and performed artificial resuscitation and artificial respiration procedures for my son several times.

The ambulance arrived soon and Armand was sent to the operating room.

As soon as the doctor said that his condition was out of the critical period, I breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Leonard also hurried over.

He started to blame me. "Didn't I ask you to go over and take good care of them?"

"What kind of mom are you? Don't you know Armand has a heart disease? And you took him to play with the pendulum rides!"

I looked at him coldly and said, "Why don't you ask your son first?"

As the words fell, Leonard's anger subsided a bit and he turned to ask our son in a soft voice, "Armand, who took you to play the pendulum rides?"

The next second, Armand pointed at me with trembling fingers and answered, "It's Mom, it's Mom ...."

For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating.

I felt very disappointed.

But when Armand saw my expression, he shrank back and hid behind his father.

The man's anger grew even stronger. "Joanna, I am too disappointed in you!"

"What else did you do besides giving birth to Armand?"

Just at this moment, the doctor came in at the right time.

"Who performed CPR on the child before he was brought here? It was so timely! If it weren't for this action, the child might not have been saved."

"It's Yasmin."

Even though I had let go, my heart was still broken.

I did not stay any longer.

Before leaving, I heard Leonard say with a sad expression on his face.

"Why did I marry you in the first place? I regret it so much."

The doctor, who was also Leonard's colleague, patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

"There is an evil woman in the house. I respect you, Dr. Leonard."

For several days in a row, Leonard and Armand did not go home.

And Yasmin also posted many photos of them taking care of Armand together on her social media.

Several of them were photos of Leonard lying exhausted in her arms.

Leonard also commented. [Wiping asses for the shit some people do ....]

He always forgot to give me a key to the house, so I went to get one myself.

During this period, I was also packing my luggage at home.

Seven days passed in a flash.

And just the day before I embarked on the journey, Leonard finally sent me a message.

[Armand has a fever, come and take him home.]

Armand was discharged from the hospital a few days ago, but did not go home.

I frowned, but still went to pick my son up.

The destination was a private ballroom in a hotel.

As soon as I walked into the room, everyone looked at me in surprise.

Leonard unconsciously said to me, "What are you doing here?"

Looking at Yasmin’s triumphant smile, I knew that she was the one who sent the message using Leonard’s phone.

Leonard made new progress in his clinical research yesterday, so he held a celebration party today.

Everyone was there, but I was the only one who was not invited.

Leonard had no choice but to let me sit down first.

Yasmin and Armand sat next to him, meanwhile I sat opposite them.

His colleagues around him also realized that the atmosphere was not right and gave me the menu.

"Joanna, why don't you order something you like to eat?"

I took the menu and was about to order a shrimp fried rice.

Leonard unconsciously said, "You can't order this. Yasmin is allergic to shrimp."

After he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was inappropriate and glanced at me.

I tactfully handed the menu to him.

Soon, he ordered a lot.

When Yasmin heard the names of the dishes, she covered her mouth shyly.

"Leonard, you always order dishes that I like to eat, I didn't expect you still remember them all."

In just a few minutes, the dishes were served and the table was filled with dishes that I did not like to eat.

I lost my appetite instantly.

And when the last dish was served, the waiter came up with a small cake.

He said to Leonard who was sitting at the main seat, "Sir, you are our 52nd customer with a partner today. This is something we have specially given to you."

Even though Leonard and I did not have a good relationship in front of outsiders, when it came to this kind of thing, everyone thought he would hand the cake to me.

But to everyone's surprise, he naturally handed the cake to Yasmin.

"Go ahead and eat, your favorite strawberry cake."

I could feel the strange looks from people around me.

I had no choice but to endure it, then grabbed my bag and left.

"Sorry, I have to excuse myself."

Leonard did not try to persuade me.

But until I reached the door of the private room, Leonard's phone rang.

After the call was connected, he seemed to hear some news.

Immediately, he turned his head stiffly and looked at me.

His voice was trembled. "Is it true that you're going to the Syrena to participate in the implementation of the space program as said on the phone?"

Suddenly, I remembered the years when I loved Leonard most. I remembered his phone number, ID number and even the lock screen password. I knew his parents' birthdays by heart.

So, when I signed the contract to confirm my participation in the space program, I filled in Leonard's name out of inertia.

The phone call now was a reminder of the upcoming departure tomorrow.

I did not deny it, turned my head to look at him and nodded. "Yes."

Hearing this affirmation, he suddenly realized something.

He laughed. "I understand, Joanna, you are just jealous and angry, so you did this to make me regret it?"

The more he spoke, the more certain he became.

"With the love you have for me, how could you possibly be willing to leave me for three years?"

"I'm telling you, I'll never be fooled by you."

There was nothing wrong with him thinking so. After all, everyone knew how much I loved him before.

After I suffered heavy bleeding and gave birth to Armand, during my confinement period, I insisted on cooking for myself and ran to Leonard's hospital more than ten kilometers away to deliver food to him.

I begged him again and again for a wedding, tried my best to be a good wife and mother, put my dream of space travel on hold and took care of the father and son.

Later on, Leonard started blaming me.

"The matter with Armand was originally your mistake and Yasmin even saved him. Not only are you not grateful, but you are also making assumptions about others!"

The people around him suddenly realized and muttered to themselves.

"Joanna is really a villain who repays kindness with kindness. How could Dr. Leonard bear it all these years."

"I definitely won't be like her in the future, it's too annoying."

***

Even Yasmin stepped forward and took the initiative to hold my hand.

An attitude of bearing humiliation and enduring heavy burdens.

"Joanna, I know you've always disliked me and regarded me as a thorn in your side because of Leonard and Armand. But don't worry, I have never meant to hurt your family or Armand."

I had done everything I could to deal with this bad person in terms of emotions.

Looking at Leonard's disdain and everyone's pitying eyes.

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

At this moment, I chose to leave.

After returning home, Leonard's celebration party continued.

The social media was full of photos celebrating happiness.

However, I slept soundly.

In the next day, Leonard finally came back. Perhaps he was still a bit worried about the phone call last night.

It was the first time he had been home in a while.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that all traces of me in the house were gone and it became empty.

His gaze also lingered on my hand holding the luggage.

His eyes turned red in an instant.

"Joanna, are you for real?"
