After Tiernan left the room, I got up and locked the door.
I'm not sure if it was just my imagination, but my eyes felt a bit blurry.
Two days later, I finally found a reliable lawyer.
After explaining my marital situation and divorce demands to the lawyer, I realized that letting go of what I had been clinging to for so long wasn't as difficult as I thought. It only took a moment.
At the same time, Tiernan posted on social media.
In the photo, Cadence was making a wish over a birthday cake, wearing the protection amulet I had given Tiernan around her neck!
Three years ago, when Tiernan was in a coma after a car accident, I had traveled overnight to Tibet and climbed three thousand steps on my knees to get that amulet.
Tiernan had actually given it to Cadence!
I was so angry my heart ached. I wanted to teleport there and rip the amulet off her neck.
Just as I was drinking ice water to calm myself down, Tiernan called.
"It's Cadence's birthday today. Come have dinner with us, let's talk things out and live well together from now on."
I couldn't help but let out a cold sneer.
Before I could refuse, Tiernan hung up.
Soon after, he returned downstairs.
When Tiernan saw me, he couldn't help but smile.
He seemed to think that I also had thoughts of reconciliation.However, I didn't come for the reason he thought, but to reclaim what's mine.
When I arrived at the restaurant, Cadence was already seated.
Seeing me arrive, she happily called out my name.
Her delicate, innocent smile was like a pure, flawless flower, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
I strode over and grabbed the cord around her neck.
"Sunny, you came for my birth- Ah! What are you doing?!"
Cadence's smiling face twisted unexpectedly.
Unable to break free, she gripped my arm tightly, but put on a weak, pitiful expression for Tiernan.
"Tiernan, it hurts..."
Tiernan's face darkened as he angrily demanded, "What are you doing?!"
"This is mine. Give it back."
Tiernan forcefully pried my fingers open, saying, "Let go first! I'll make her return it to you. It's just a lucky charm, is it worth all this?"
Just a lucky charm?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I kicked Tiernan's leg, then couldn't resist adding another kick.
Cadence was heartbroken, her eyes reddening.
She suddenly clenched her fist and struck my head, then immediately swung her other fist.I was about to dodge when a man grabbed her wrist from midair.
It was the doctor who had prescribed my medication!
He shielded me behind him and said sternly, "She has a head injury, you can't touch her!"
Tiernan looked up in shock and asked, "Who are you? What injury does she have?"
"I'm a neurologist from First Hospital. I prescribed her medication."
"She has a blood clot here that could likely cause blindness."
The doctor pointed at my swollen area and continued, "Her vision is already declining."
Tiernan quickly stepped forward and grabbed my wrist, his tone unusually anxious.
"Is what he's saying true? Sunny, let's go to the capital for another checkup, okay?"
Cadence forcefully interjected at this point: "Sunny, don't use your health to deceive people. If your vision was really bad, how could you see clearly what I was wearing on my neck from so far away?"
"With so many patients coming and going at the hospital, how could he recognize you at a glance?"
"Could it be that you two have a secret relationship and are putting on an act to trick Tiernan?"
