As memories flooded back, my heart was filled with bitterness.

Looking around this simple and cozy little home, my gaze was somewhat reluctant to leave.

This house was bought by Ethan.

When we got our marriage certificate, his family strongly opposed it, believing that he should focus on his career and not marry me, a disabled person, which would distract him.

In order to be with him, I didn't ask for anything, and we didn't even have a wedding.

As soon as we got our certificate, we moved into this house.

My best friend Luna even scolded me for being foolish and advised me to leave myself a way out.

But at that time, I believed that love was everything and didn't listen to her.

Thinking about it now, I was really stupid to the extreme.

I took a deep breath and gave Luna a call.

Then I went back to the bedroom and used my left hand to pack all my things into a backpack.

Now, packing luggage had become an incredibly difficult task for me.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, allowing me to sort things out slowly.

After finishing my conversation with Luna, I continued packing.

Luna arrived quickly, and seeing me sitting alone outside the house, she was filled with rage.

"Why are you here alone? Where's that bastard Ethan?"

She had always disliked Ethan and couldn't help but roll her eyes whenever she saw him.

"Luna, please take me away from here first."

I said with a bitter smile, glancing at the two suitcases beside me.

She immediately understood and, without a word, picked up the larger one and stuffed it into the car.

I also struggled to move the other one towards the car with my single hand.

Seeing this scene, Luna's eyes turned red, and she silently took the suitcase from my hand.

She took me back to her place.

After settling in, she asked me what had happened, and I told her everything.

She was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Why doesn't he just die! Wasn't it because of him that you became disabled while trying to save him? If it weren't for him, would you have suffered this kind of pain for no reason?"

"In my opinion, you shouldn't have helped him in the first place.

You should have let him die there, so you wouldn't be in this situation now, where he's blatantly lying to your face."

Luna cursed Ethan late into the night, but I listened with great calmness.

We are both adults now and must take responsibility for our own choices.

Besides, what's done is done, and there's no use in saying more.

Actually, many times, I couldn't tell if he loved me more or felt more guilty towards me.

But now I understand that feelings can't withstand the test of time.

I stayed at Luna's place.

Before going to bed, I deliberately turned off my phone.

I no longer cared about what would happen tomorrow.

When I woke up and had just stepped out of the bedroom, I heard Luna on the phone.

I don't know what the other person said, but she let out a cold snort.

"Ethan, you're really something.

Your wife is missing, and instead of looking for her, you're threatening me? Do you think I'm easily scared?"

Hearing her say this, my heart skipped a beat.

It was only then that I remembered that Luna still worked on Ethan's team.

I hurried over to her and looked at her with concern.

But she just gave me a "don't worr."

look.

Soon, she hung up the phone and said with a cold laugh, "How unlucky!"

I asked anxiously, "Luna, what did he say to you?"

"It's nothing.

Don't worry, just stay here with peace of mind.

Besides, even if the sky falls, I'll be here to hold it up for you."

Her words were casual and lighthearted.

But knowing Ethan's temper, he must have threatened her with her job.

Spots on the ecological survey team had always been hard to come by, requiring a letter of recommendation from an advisor and passing through layers of selection.

Luna had worked hard to stand out, and this job was too important to her.

I took the initiative and said, "I'll go find him and tell him not to make things difficult for you."

"No way! Then wouldn't you be giving in to him again? Does he deserve that? Even if I quit, it's not like he's the only one in this world who can lead me in research.

I can still make great achievements elsewhere!"

With that, she started humming and preparing application materials for other research teams.

I sighed and was about to say something when my phone suddenly rang.

It was the hospital calling.
