Love and Hate: A Bittersweet Marriage Split
墨書 Inktalez
My lover of fifteen years, with red eyes, was gripping my neck tightly. Yet the one being choked was laughing, while the one doing the choking was crying.
"Is this your explanation to me?" he roared, like a wounded beast. I gently stroked his trembling hand, my gaze calm and devoid of any ripples. "I gave you a chance, Cheng Bai."
I pushed him away with force, and his hand fell weakly to his side, unable to utter a single plea for me to stay. He could only watch helplessly as I turned my back and walked away.
I clutched my daughter Keke's medical report tightly, hurrying through the hospital corridor. Patients and their families moved back and forth along the sides of the corridor, each face etched with anxiety and worry, like mirrors reflecting my current despair and helplessness.
At the end of the corridor, a striking flash of red caught my eye. The color was so vivid and jarring, like a sharp knife stabbing into my heart.
The woman in red high heels was young and beautiful, her face adorned with a bright smile as she carried an exquisite lunchbox. It was none other than Cheng Bai's student, He Jia.
When our eyes met, her smile froze for a moment but quickly returned to its natural state, even carrying a hint of provocation.
Cheng Bai floundered in his attempt to explain; his lips moved but no words came out. The panic and evasion in his eyes were like a sharp blade that ruthlessly severed my last thread of hope.
I took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the tumultuous emotions within me. I shot him a cold glance and silently turned to leave.
Cheng Bai, I gave you a chance; it was you who did not cherish it.
After leaving the hospital, I hailed a taxi and gave the driver my home address.
Keke sat in the backseat of the car, her innocent big eyes wide with curiosity as she asked me, "Mommy, where are we going? Where's Daddy?"
My heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, the pain making it hard to breathe. I held back my tears and forced a smile, "Daddy has something to do. We're going home first, and he'll be back later."
Keke nodded, seemingly understanding, and fell silent.
I gazed out the window at the passing streets, memories of how I met and fell in love with Cheng Bai flooding my mind.
At that time, we were the happiest couple in everyone's eyes.
Now, the vows we once made have turned into the sharpest knives, leaving me deeply wounded.
Cheng Bai, what you owe me can never be repaid in this lifetime.
The taxi stopped downstairs, and I paid the fare before taking Keke upstairs.
Auntie was in the kitchen preparing dinner. When she saw us come back, she asked with concern, "Why are you back so late? How did the check-up go?"
I mustered my spirits and smiled, "It's nothing; the doctor said Keke is recovering very well."
Auntie set down what she was doing and walked over to Keke, saying with tenderness, "Keke, come here and let Auntie take a look."
Keke obediently opened her mouth for Auntie to check her teeth.
Auntie checked while saying, "Keke's teeth are growing so well; she will definitely be a beautiful little girl in the future."
I looked at Keke's innocent smile, feeling a mix of emotions in my heart.
Keke, it's your mother's fault for making you bear all this at such a young age.
I walked into the bedroom, locked Keke's examination report in the drawer, and then started packing my luggage.
Cheng Bai, I'm tired; I don't want to continue anymore.
I dragged my suitcase, holding Keke's hand, and left this once joyful home without looking back.
