Chapter 14
The next morning. I was still asleep when I was woken up by a knock on the door.
When I opened it, there stood James and Yuri.
James immediately dropped to his knees on the other side of the iron gate. “Vivian, Vivian, please save me, I don’t want to de
Yuri followed suit, kneeling beside him. “Vivian, all our savings are gone, we even owe hundreds of thousands in online kam. You’re the only one who
Take the money from the divorce settlement and pay off the loans first. Otherwise, the interest will pile up and we’ll be ruined. Then sell your house
he money from the sale can be used to treat James, We’ll start over from scratch”
Jamek, tearfully begging, looked up at me. “Vivian, I was seduced by that Linda. But I only ever loved you. She even wanted me to kill you, but I couldn’t do it. That’s why I agreed to divorce you. I saved your life, so you should save mine.”
Yuri, seeing that I wasn’t saying anything, mistakenly thought I was considering forghing them. She quickly added, “Vivian, as long as you help pay off the debt and save James, you’ll be our benefactor. I won’t ever hold your infertility against you. From now on, you’ll be like my own daughter
“And by the way, since Linda can donate a liver for James, you, as his wife, should also donate one. After all, you’re a woman, losing a never won’t be a big deal. I’ll take good care of you in the future.”
The two of them went on and on until they were nearly out of breath. Only then did I finally speak. “Why should I?”
James froze for a second. Maybe he thought that since he had apologized. I would naturally forgive him, and we would try and hug, with me paying off the debt, buying a house, and donating a liver. So, after hearing my question, he seemed a little irritated.
“Why should you? Because I’m your husband. Vivian. Don’t act like you don’t care. You definitely still love me. That’s why you went to the sales You meant to bribe the staff, show me the truth about Linda, and make me realize you’re the only one who’s really my wife.”
“I know, all these years you’ve suffered because I couldn’t give you children. I’ve wronged you, and you’ve been ridiculed by my mother, but I you, it won’t happen again. From now on, both my mother and I will treat you well. Don’t let your pride get in the way of us. You’ll regrer i of your life.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re so full of yourself. When we were dating, I’ll admit we were a good match, but after ten years of smoking drinking and not exercising, I’m sure if we stood together, people would think I’m your daughter. Why on earth would I still love you?”
Yuri shook her head and chimed in. “I know you’re angry and just saying this to spite us. But if you don’t love James, why did you go to the sales office?”
I sighed. “What can I even say to you two? I’ve explained this already–I went to look at houses.”
Both of them shook their heads in disbelief. That’s impossible! Where would you get that kind of money?”
“Didn’t you see the news yesterday? That woman who was bundled up tightly while accepting the lottery prize–that was me! We lived toge
ten years, and you couldn’t even recognize me?”
The moment I said this, it was like a bomb had been dropped into deep water. James Smith and Yuri couldn’t even maintain their kneeling posture and collapsed to the ground.
