Chapter 3

While waiting at the airport, my phone pushed a notification about a press conference at Mr. Grey's hospital.

Grey himself, as the CEO, was actually present at the scene.

"Mr. Grey and Mrs. Grey, has your hospital already dismissed Dr. Insomnia?"

"Such a major medical incident occurred simply due to the negligence of the doctor on duty. According to regulations, their license should be revoked. So why is Dr. Insomnia still allowed to practice?"

"There are rumors that the doctor responsible for this medical incident is not Dr. Insomnia, but someone else. Mr. Grey, what's your explanation for this?"

Under the flashing lights, Grey suppressed a fleeting look of reluctance in his eyes.

"The hospital has already provided compensation to the patient's family. Dr. Insomnia has also resigned. We had intended to handle this matter discreetly, but given the spread of online rumors that could potentially affect other innocent doctors and patients, we felt compelled to issue a public apology. We hope for the patients' understanding and ask for a chance from everyone."

"If this is an apology, then why isn't Dr. Insomnia present..."

"So, Mr. Grey assumes that Dr. Insomnia is the main person responsible for this medical accident?"

"Isn't resignation too light a punishment?"

"Dr. Shaw not coming out to apologize in person shows a lack of sincerity!"

However, no matter how the reporters below questioned, Grey left directly without further response.

Leaving only a cold back to the cameras.

And I finally became the target of public criticism.

If divorce was Grey slapping me in the face,

Then this press conference was a knife stabbed into my heart.

The phone connected.

"Grey, is this your explanation to me?"

"Insomnia, whether it's consideration for Mr. Grey's stocks, or... Elowen's health, I can't make any clarifications for now."

"Don't take the online news to heart. Before long, no one will remember this incident, and no one will care who was right or wrong."

I stopped in my tracks, unable to hold back a laugh.

If it truly was a matter of right and wrong that no one cared about, why would Grey be unwilling to let Elowen be tainted by it?

If it truly was a matter of right and wrong that no one cared about, how could I have lost my life because of it in my previous life? Perhaps to Grey, everyone's life was insignificant except for Elowen's.

The airport announcement urging me to board the plane echoed through the waiting area.

"Insomnia, are you at the airport? Where are you going?"

"Back to New York City."

"That's good, that's good. You should go back to New York City. It's been a while since you've seen your parents."

"Once things calm down a bit, I'll come get you and bring you back."

"After I've seen Elowen off, we'll remarry."

"No, Grey. I will never return to San Francisco, and I hope we never see each other again."

The call was abruptly ended, and when he tried to call back, all he got was a message saying the user's phone was switched off.

Grey was stunned for a moment, instantly at a loss for words.

In that instant, he felt as if something important was about to slip away from him.

How much did the divorce affect Grey?

Those around him might think it was close to zero impact.

Because he still carried on with his witty banter, cool and collected,

Whether it was work or taking care of Elowen,

There seemed to be no effect at all.

But only Grey himself knew,

A life without Insomnia felt like a piece of him had been forcibly carved out.

But he knew he had no choice.

Back then, During the Grey family feud, he fell victim to a scheme.

When he regained consciousness, Elowen was by his side.

If it weren't for Elowen, he wouldn't even be alive today.

Elowen was the one and only moon in his life.
