I was ironing Lucas's white coat for tomorrow when I smelled another woman's perfume on him as he came home. "She's pregnant." His voice was as calm as if discussing a medical case. "Chloe is an orphan, she needs me." My hand holding the iron suddenly froze in mid-air, steam blurring my eyes. Thinking of the night I had a high fever of 104 degrees, he held a hot towel to compress me, "I will only take care of you in this life." "What about me?" My voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. Lucas wrinkled his brows in displeasure: "Sarah, you know I'm under a lot of pressure, and Chloe understands my ambition." Bang, the iron dropped onto the white coat, burning a hole right over the heart position. I didn't cry or make a fuss, returned to the room, sleepless all night. Before leaving, I placed the divorce agreement and ring in the entryway. Incidentally, I wrote in my graceful handwriting on the burned white coat. "Dr. Sterling, from now on, there will never be a patient named Sarah on your operating table again." Chapter 1 Leaving the Sterling home, I boarded a plane to Miami. These years, I gave too much for Lucas, lost myself. Miami Beach, the place I always wanted to go. Every time I mentioned it, Lucas always used being busy as an excuse, making me wait. Waiting and waiting, this time finally no need to wait anymore. I looked at the white clouds outside the window, from now on, I want to be a bird flying freely, living for myself. Got off the plane, Lucas sent me more than thirty messages. "Sarah, just because Chloe is pregnant with my child, you make a fuss about divorce with me?" "How can you be so selfish, don't you know I'm in the rising period now, you just can't stand to see me living well." "I am responsible for Chloe, do you want me to be a treacherous person, can't you understand me." "What exactly are you doing? Why turn off the phone!" "Sarah, what exactly did you say to Chloe? Why did she suddenly bleed?" "You bitch, since you left, don't come back for a lifetime!" Such messages filled the chat box between him and me. Lucas and I married for ten years, this is the first time he sent me so many messages. Every sentence can't leave accusation, also can't leave Chloe. I couldn't be bothered to pay attention, turned off the phone and played in Miami for half a month to my heart's content. After leaving Miami, I found a seaside city, Seattle, opened a studio, making a living by painting. I thought the matter with Lucas was already past. Unexpectedly, today, I just opened the shop door, saw an uninvited guest squatting at the door. He grabbed my arm, staring dead at me. "Why did you block all my contact methods." "Do you know how long I've been looking for you?" I threw off his hand, "Mr. Sterling, we are already divorced, please conduct yourself with dignity." He was stunned, couldn't help stepping back two steps. Seemingly didn't expect, we haven't seen each other for just half a month, the person who was always obedient to him actually changed like another person. He hesitated for a moment, lowered his posture, voice gentle. "I know, you are still sulking, but Chloe is different from you, she can't leave me." "This time I came, hoping you can go back with me, take care of Chloe postpartum." "Don't worry, when Chloe recovers, I'll give her a sum of money, we raise the child, send her abroad." I turned my back to him, tears blurred my vision. For a moment, I thought he really repented. Unexpectedly. I turned around sharply, eyes scarlet. "Lucas Sterling, are you sick, asking me to serve the mistress postpartum?" Voice just fell, this sentence touched Lucas's reverse scale, he raised his hand and slapped me. Blood flowed from the corner of my mouth, half of my face burned with pain. He pinched my chin like crazy, coldly said: "Chloe is not a mistress, heard that?" He released his hand sharply, I stumbled and couldn't stand firmly, hit the corner of the table behind me precisely, teeth bared in pain. Seeing me like this, he snorted coldly. "Aren't you always very strong, what does this little injury count to you?" "Want a divorce, without my signature, you can never escape my palm." "Give you three days, arrange things here well, go back immediately to take care of Chloe, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." Lucas turned and left, door closed with a bang. I suddenly realized, every time we had different opinions and quarreled, I was always the one retreating and bowing. I once thought, couples don't have overnight grudges, it's just mutual accommodation to last long. Now it seems, my retreat exchanged for his inch by inch advance. He ignored my feelings, still thought I was that silly woman who only mentioned divorce but dared not really leave. Dare to propose, let me take care of his third party, really ridiculous. Even, until now, he dare not face his heart squarely, still drawing big cakes for me. This kind of man who wants both, disgusting and greedy, whoever loves to take can take! Even if I leave with nothing, I will divorce him! Chapter 2 Coming out of the hospital after bandaging, I dug out the number of my male best friend, Alex. We are high school classmates, relationship always good. Since he went abroad for further studies in college, learned I dated a boyfriend, we rarely contacted. On the wedding day, he sent a text message to bless me. "Happy Wedding!" After marriage, to prevent Lucas from overthinking, we lost contact. In a flash ten years passed. Staring at the number, I hesitated for a long time, still couldn't help dialing out. "Sarah, is that you?" Familiar voice came from the handset, I felt surprised, softly responded Hmm. Didn't expect, after so long, he still kept my number. Seeing me迟迟 not speaking, he laughed awkwardly twice. "Why thought of finding me, must have encountered some trouble." He is still the same as usual, likes to joke, ease the atmosphere. "I... I want you to help me a favor!" I hesitated for a long time, finally summoned up courage to say it out. "Okay! Where are you now, I go find you, I returned to Boston." "I'm not in Boston, I'm in Seattle." "Seattle" He didn't ask much, just said: "Send me a location, I go find you now." Before I could speak, he hung up the phone. Two hours later, a familiar figure appeared in the shop, it's Alex. Seeing me he scratched his head embarrassedly instead. "Hearing your voice was a bit excited." "Haven't seen for so long, thought of inviting you to dinner, so ran over." Seeing his shy appearance, I couldn't help laughing. Later I learned, the reason he was so fast, was taking a private jet. We exchanged pleasantries briefly, then stated my request. After hearing, he stood up from the chair swish. "This beast, if in front of me, I must kill him." Seeing him rolling up sleeves, a look ready to fight, I burst out laughing. He patted his chest, vowing solemnly. "This divorce lawsuit, I help you fight!" Chapter 3 He handed me a list of information needed to be collected, and instructed me, the more detailed the better. I looked at the items on the list. Dealing with Lucas this greedy and entangled man, without using some means, he won't let me go easily. Rather than this, might as well spend some thought to collect enough evidence, court direct enforcement is faster. I told Alex about Lucas coming to the shop to make trouble today, and those remarks he said. He said his personal proof of the third party's existence is naturally the best evidence, in court, he is powerless to refute. I was still struggling with the difficulty of getting rid of this scumbag before. Now with Alex's few words of pointer, I instantly relaxed a lot. I collected the list well, picked up coat and bag, smiled at him. "Time is late, today you helped me solve problems, tonight I treat you to dinner." Seeing smile finally on my face, he didn't be polite with me. "Okay, rare you treat, then I'll eat freely today." We talked and laughed ready to leave, suddenly door kicked open. Lucas rushed in angrily, like an angry lion. He stared dead at Alex. "Good! I said Chloe pregnant, why didn't you make a fuss with me one cry two make noise three hang myself, just ran away from home sulking." "Also kept insisting on divorcing me non-stop." "Thanks to Chloe just now keep nagging me, saying my handling method to you wrong, also said let me invite sincerely." "I came back to apologize to you, didn't expect, you dare cuckold me!" He was emotional, raised hand to hit Alex. Alex pinched Lucas's falling hand tightly, face iron green. "What are you? Also dare hit me?" "Just this kind of man who can't control lower body, still well-known thoracic surgeon in the city." "I呸!" "Simply tarnishing the profession of doctor." "Cheating outside after marriage, knocking up others not mentioning, still delusional to let wife serve mistress." "You have this time here shouting thief catch thief, might as well think if this matter spreads out, how will you face medical big shots later." Lucas face turned green, he showed no weakness, flung away Alex's hand. "You! You dare!" He placed gaze on me, eyes fierce. "Sarah, if you dare ruin me, I will definitely kill you." "Don't let me have a good time, you don't think about having a good time either." Alex raised leg gave him a kick. "Just this useless appearance, don't know how Sarah was blind to see you back then." I looked at Lucas carelessly, tone mixed with ridicule. "Seeing clearly now is not late, stop loss in time, ending is not too bad." "We throw him out, don't let him affect our mood." Voice fell, Alex picked up Lucas collar, dragged him out. "Sarah, you want to kick me to be with him, unless you serve Chloe postpartum." "If coax me happy, maybe I'll divorce you." "Otherwise, as long as I live, you don't think about it, consume, I also consume you to death!" Lucas exasperated appearance, made me feel shocked. Married to him for ten years, even if we had numerous frictions between us, didn't see him so vicious. These years, he hid really deep enough. If not completely angered him this time, didn't know he has this face. No wonder, before marriage father reminded me, Lucas is not as kind as I saw. Blame me for being love-brained back then, insisted jumping into fire pit.
