Wife Falls in Love with School Brother

After receiving the gastric cancer diagnosis, I tried to seek comfort from my girlfriend, Selina Garcia, but I couldn't reach her all night.

The next day, she posted on Instagram a picture of her hand in hand with Kevin, strolling by the river.

The caption read: [One day, we will find happiness.]

In response, I immediately froze the credit card in Selina's possession and changed the locks at home.

If she were chasing happiness, went for it. I was not going to wait for she anymore!

"Mr. Watson, I'm sorry to have to tell you this news, but according to the test results, you have gastric cancer."

In the quiet restroom, the doctor's words still echoed in my ears.

Gastric cancer.

I never thought a disease that only appeared on TV would happen to me.

A sense of helplessness and fear washed over me...

I looked at the phone on the sink countless times, hoping it would suddenly light up with a message from Selina.

At this moment, I desperately wanted her comfort.

But I was destined to be disappointed.

I sent her countless messages and even made many calls, but they all fell on deaf ears.

It was late at night while I was still trying.

"I can't sleep. I can't sleep yet..."

I turned on the faucet and washed my face vigorously.

With this state, I fell asleep drowsily.

The next day, my biological clock woke me up.

I instinctively checked my phone and found that Selina had posted on Instagram.

The moment I clicked in, my expression froze.

What Selina, my girlfriend, posted was not a blessing for me to overcome the illness, but a picture of her walking by the river with her handsome male classmate.

She looked coy in the photo.

The caption was: [One day, we will find happiness.]

Seeing this, I had the urge to confront her.

But when I looked up at the mirror, I was stunned.

My eyes were bloodshot, with deep dark circles, as if sleepiness could strike at any moment.

My face was pale, my skin lacked luster, and I looked drained of vitality and energy, enveloped by fatigue.

"I'm really tired..."

I suddenly felt that questioning Selina was pointless.

She had shown many signs before.

When Kevin was sick, she canceled our date to take care of him.

She used my card to buy him a gift on his birthday.

There were too many similar incidents. I was bewitched before, thinking there was nothing wrong with this.

But Selina's Instagram feed was the last straw.

I no longer understand the meaning of persisting in this relationship.

I took my phone and went into Selina's chat interface.

I texted: [Selina, I'm tired. Let's break up.]

Sending this message, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.

It felt as if the mountain pressing on me had been removed.

I exhaled slowly and left the restroom, ready to go to work.

Treatment costs money. Without work, there is no money, and this illness was caused by working.

This made me feel a bit of dark humor.

After work, I barely mustered the energy to walk out of the company's door.

According to the usual arrangement, I should have gone to pick up Selina after work.

But she had nothing to do with me.

At this time, I saw Selina waiting by the roadside for someone.

She kept looking at her watch, impatient.

I ignored her, planning to leave directly.

"Jack, stop right there!"

She saw me with sharp eyes and stormed towards me.

"What's wrong, Ms. Garcia?"

Seeing that I couldn't leave, I turned my head and said indifferently, my voice full of thick, unhidden fatigue.

"What's the matter, Jack? Why did you get off work so late today? Why didn't you come to pick me up? You even broke up with me in a huff. Jack, what do you mean?"

Selina didn't notice that my mental state was not right and was still questioning me.

"That's what it means."

I arrived at the parking lot and opened the driver's door.

"What does that mean? Explain it to me properly!"

Selina also skillfully opened the passenger door and sat in.
