"Mr. Barrett, this was from your ex-wife, saying she wished you a happy wedding!"
The assistant, Jacob, whose expression was a bit solemn, silently handed over the package.
He opened the package, which contained three documents:
The first one was a consent form for the donation of corneas and kidneys;
The second was a report from Washington Hospital on advanced brain cancer;
The third again was a pregnancy test issued by a Washington hospital.
He shuddered as he turned the last page of the document, all the signatures were hers...
"I'll sign the divorce papers, but I need you to promise me three things."
"First, will you smile at me? A real smile."
Andrew Barrett's slightly impatient face froze abruptly, and Jacob froze as well.
"Second, call me 'sweetie' or 'honey', like a husband to a wife."
Jacob had never seen such a simple request before, and at the same time, his heart overflowed with sourness because it was too simple, yet the man she was asking said coldly and stiffly:
"I can't."
Harper Flynn was at peace with herself because Andrew had let her down too many times, so even if she could not get whatever she wanted from him, she could also easily give up.
"Third, let me hug you. Then, I'll sign right away."
Harper reached out her hand, but the man's body remained tightly shut, standing there like a log.
At that moment, Jacob answered a phone call and his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Barrett, Dr. Chambers said that your cornea transplant is ahead of schedule and can be done at the same time as Ms. Wang's kidney transplant."
Within a short time, the three of them entered three separate adjoining operating rooms.
Harper lay on a cold operating table, with her hands resting on her abdomen, her eyes gently closed.
Baby, mommy wanted to hold out for you, but mommy was useless and couldn't hold out until you were born.
Her brain tumor was malignant, with a low success rate for surgery, and she once thought rather than die on the operating table, she'd rather be in pain and opt for conservative treatment. At least this way, she could still spend more time with Andrew.
But now, she was tired, so she'd have to take the baby with her.
At the same time, the red light came on in all three operating rooms.
In the door in the center, doctors removed fresh kidneys and corneas in vessels and stepped into the left and right door.
Jacob, who was waiting outside, watched in horror. Didn't Harper only donate kidneys?
Why would any doctor still come out holding a clear cornea and then walk into that operating room of Mr. Barrett's?!
Did...
Suddenly, from the center operating room came the doctor's panicked yell, "No! Cardiac arrest, how did this happen?"
Jacob was sweating profusely, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, muttering: "Mr. Barrett, you'll regret it, you'll definitely regret it..."
A month later, Andrew, who had regained his sight, did not see Harper show up.
He took out his phone and finally dialed the number.
It took a long time for the other side to answer. Andrew was a little impatient and spoke sharply: "Harper, hurry over and take your stuff away. It's taking up space!"
There was an "uh-huh" and a hang-up.
How long it took, he didn't know, but there was the sound of a door being pushed behind him.
"Mr. Barrett, I've come to pack up Harper's belongings for her."
The visitor was holding a picture frame in his arms, and the person in the black and white photo was clearly Harper!

Love and Nothing More

Andrew's whole body was fixed in place, and the original callous black eyes suddenly flashed through a wipe of embarrassment, and his hands trembled.


She was as graceful as when Harper saw her in Finland two years ago.


Harper refused to accept it. It's only ten days away from the agreement. Why did she appear at this time?


Noah stopped two meters away, looked at Andrew firmly, and sighed, "I just came back to see if you are happy. Now I see it... goodbye."


Harper suddenly had a feeling in her heart that as long as she let go of his hand, they would really be finished.


But Andrew also cast off her, can't wait to break free. With a leap of his long legs, he stumbled a little and pounced on Noah, holding on tightly.


Then, Harper clearly saw that Noah smiled at her through Andrew's generous shoulders, while Andrew's waist was surrounded by thin white arms.


Harper was gnashing her teeth with rage. Clearly it was early summer, but she could feel a chill ran through her bones.


Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she reached out and tried hard to pull him back.


"Andrew, you are still my husband, how could you hug another woman and leave me standing behind alone? Noah, let go of him!"


Hearing the exclamation of the woman in his arms, and then hearing Harper's noisy sound like a shrew, Andrew felt humiliated and lifted his hand to push her away.


Harper dropped to the ground and suddenly stiffened, a sudden throbbing pain in the depths of her mind causing her breath to linger.


Since Andrew losing his sight, his hearing has been very keen. When he heard Harper groaning in pain, he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you?!"


Noah said timidly: "Miss Flynn is covering her head in pain, but she didn't hit her head..."


"Harper, don't pretend, it's boring." Andrew frowned and felt that the worries he had just raised were ridiculous.


The pain made Harper more and more irritable. When she saw Noah still snuggling in Andrew's arms, she hissed and shouted: "Let her go, let her go-!"


Noah cringed a little at the sight of Harper's bloodshot eyes staring straight at her.


Andrew didn't pull her back, and then he soon heard the sound of a car starting up and going away.


And Harper was still chanting "Let her go" like a crazy woman, which made him angry. He raised his hand in response to the voice and slapped her across the face!


Harper's body slumped helplessly and she was just about to open her mouth when Andrew immediately slammed over three more words.


She was a little dull, and it took a long time to react. She murmured, "There are still ten days..."


"What's the difference between divorce now and divorce in ten days?" All that remained of his face was the usual coldness and impatience. "Do you think there will be any change?"


Harper's lips moved and wanted to say that after ten days, she would never see him again.


But in the end, she just stubbornly said, "Have you forgotten what I said? I'm not getting a divorce for a month..."


Andrew interrupted her, his words were like knives cutting her heart, and blood dripped in an instant.


From the day of the marriage, no, from Andrew's blindness in a car accident, her heart fell apart, barely alive with patches everywhere, and no intact flesh could be seen for a long time.


Now she can't make up for it at last. The broken hole, gurgling with blood, gradually dried up and shrank.


"As you wish." Harper's voice trembled and her throat overflowed with a choke. "I am sick, very serious, and I can't live long."
