"By the time you read this letter, I'm sure you have received the divorce papers. I know you probably wouldn't care about what I left for you, going as far as to feel repelled by it."But this is all I can give you. And besides you, I don't know who else to give all this to."As I write this letter, I realize how lonely I am. I'm stuck in prison, but no one is waiting or hoping for my release."I've spent over 20 years on this earth and still haven't understood what it means to be loved, or how to love someone."In another life, I wish I could be an ordinary person—someone with simpler thoughts, someone who knows how to love. I think I would be much happier that way."I'm sorry you met this version of me. I can't bring myself to say this to you in person, so I'll leave them on paper."Lastly, I want to say goodbye."Even after reading the letter, Leslie's anger didn't dissipate. At this point, what was the use of these hypocritical words?The sudden ringtone snapped Leslie back

"By the way, why haven't you gone to the company?" Natalie glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past noon.Usually, Henry would have been at the company by now."Dr. Quince is coming later to help me with my leg treatment." Henry checked his watch.He and Lavender agreed on 1:00 pm, so she would probably be here soon.Natalie was about to respond when the sound of a car stopping outside caught her attention."Is that Dr. Quince?" Natalie went to the window to check.Looking out, she saw Lavender just getting out of the car. She had heard about Lavender from Henry a couple of times.Natalie hadn't expected her to be so young. Not only that, but she was also very beautiful.Her aloofness was unforgettable. She felt like a winter fairy, proud and cold."I think it's Dr. Quince. Let's go downstairs to greet her." Natalie went to Henry's wheelchair and pushed it toward the door.When they reached the first floor, Amos had just welcomed Lavender inside."Hello, Mr. Cha

Natalie glanced up as Henry wheeled himself in."Is she asleep?" Henry whispered, careful not to disturb Mercy. His gaze toward Mercy was overflowing with affection.Thinking about Shane's strong preference for sons over daughters, Natalie couldn't help but ask, "Henry, can I ask you something?"Henry looked at her with a hint of confusion. "What do you want to ask?""Do you ever wish we had a son?" Natalie asked calmly, her eyes assessing Henry discreetly. She believed a person's initial reaction held the truth.Henry chuckled at the question. It seemed like he could read her thoughts, and he asked jokingly, "Are you worried I'll leave you if we don't have a son, and find another woman to give me one?"Natalie couldn't help but smile at his response. She knew he wouldn't do that."Hurry up and give me an answer. Do you want a son?" Natalie brushed aside his teasing and pressed on.She was still curious about his thoughts on this. She had heard that many successful men were obs

As Lavender spoke, she handed the ring to Jonah, who hesitated for a moment before accepting it.Lavender extended her hand. "Help me put it on."She pointed to her ring finger and said, "Put it here."Jonah gently grasped her fingertip and slowly slid the ring onto her finger.The ring was a little big and not very attractive. But Lavender looked at it with a childlike smile.Jonah had once told her that one day, he would put a ring on her finger and make her his bride. She never expected that the ring he eventually placed on her finger would be a worthless grass ring."Once this ring is on, there's no turning back, okay? After you're discharged, we'll go get our marriage certificate," Lavender said cheerfully.Before, when Jonah wasn't in trouble, she was a serious and formidable doctor in front of others.But in front of him, she was just an ordinary girl. She would whine to him, make requests, and joke around. And he always indulged her.One particular sentence from him st

Natalie immediately began massaging Henry's legs.This should have been a very enjoyable process, but Henry couldn't feel anything at all. Of course, he wouldn't say this to Natalie.Henry couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable watching Natalie work so diligently on massaging his legs."Natalie… you don't have to help me with the massage, it's quite tiring," Henry finally said.He prepared to retract his legs, but Natalie held them down firmly.She threw him a determined look. "Just lie down!"Henry was whipped for his wife. A single glance from her was enough to make him yield.So, he didn't dare to move around anymore. Instead, he lay quietly, enjoying Natalie's thoughtful gesture.During this, perhaps to prevent Henry from overthinking, Natalie talked to him a lot.Henry would occasionally smile or chime in. And his eyes were always fixed on Natalie.Marrying a woman like Natalie was the best thing that ever happened to him. Fortunately, he had realized this early on a
