Chapter 3

The phone with the shattered screen on the ground rang.

It was a call from my mother-in-law, her voice trembling: "Your dad is critical, is Ah Ming here yet? Has he arrived?"

"The doctor said your father doesn't have much time left, Xiao Ya! Please come back quickly! This old woman doesn't know what to do!"

My mother-in-law was already choking with sobs, and I was on the verge of collapsing, while Jiang Ming was nowhere to be seen.

Why doesn't he believe me, how can he ignore his own father's life or death just for a woman!

He's so heartless! Cruel!

With all my strength, I screamed in the direction he drove away: "Jiang Ming! Come back! Jiang Ming!"

But it was all in vain.

I hurried back to the hospital, and when my mother-in-law saw me returning alone, she shook her head weakly.

I quickly grasped her withered hand and apologized with tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't bring Ah Ming back for you…"

My mother-in-law patted the bed and shook her head, sobbing loudly: "That bastard! That beast! How did I raise such an unfilial son!"

"Ah..."

The father-in-law on the sickbed groaned, seemingly wanting to speak, and I hurried over to listen.

"Daughter... Ah Ming... I want to see... my son..."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I could only lie to him: "He's on his way, Dad, you must hold on, Ah Ming will be here soon."

"Heh... haha... ah..."

Hearing my words, the father-in-law seemed to know I was lying, suddenly unable to catch his breath, passing away.

Upon seeing this, my mother-in-law collapsed onto the bed, crying out loud, then fainted, being supported away by the nurse.

The entire hospital room was engulfed in deep sorrow, with the cries of my mother-in-law and me echoing throughout the hospital.

Thinking of the years of care and concern the father-in-law showed me, my heart was unwilling to accept his passing.

Who knows how long passed, the nurse came over to console us, saying the room needed to be vacated.

At this point, remembering the father-in-law's wish to see his son before passing, which was unfulfilled, made me even more heartbroken.

I wanted to call Jiang Ming to tell him about the father-in-law's death, but the call still wouldn't go through.

Then I discovered a post from He Yan's Moments, showing the two of them closely together at the seaside, He Yan wearing a sexy swimsuit flaunting her body, Jiang Ming in shorts, tightly holding her waist.

Seeing their sweet and intimate posture, I instead became calm and resigned, completely seeing through it all.

I calmly sent a message to Jiang Ming.

"Let's get divorced."
