On the third day, at 10 a.m., I arrived promptly at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The entire Chu family was already waiting at the door early.

They looked so prepared, as if afraid I might refuse the divorce and burden their family.

My father-in-law, even more anxious, pulled out a divorce agreement and threw it in front of me.

"Don't blame us for being heartless, anyone in this situation wouldn't save you. This is leukemia, if you won't give up, then don't drag this family down."

My father-in-law's serious expression almost made me laugh.

As always, hypocritical, but none of that matters anymore.

The conditions were extremely harsh; the Chu family not only voluntarily gave up Wenwen's custody, but even deprived her of the right to bear the Chu surname, demanding that my daughter and I sever all ties with their family, never to contact again.

While I was reading the agreement, Chu Ping whispered to me:

"If you give up Wenwen now and agree to bear a son for our family, I'm willing to give you a chance to regret."

I resisted the urge to slap him again, picked up the pen without any hesitation, and decisively signed the divorce agreement.

A few minutes later.

Chu Ping and I collected the divorce certificate and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Finally rid of this jinx!"

"Exactly, that sickly Wenwen is finally gone; otherwise, I wouldn't dare let Xiao Chen be around her. What if she infects Xiao Chen with her illness?"

"A child with leukemia, and a girl at that, what's the point of treating her?"

Seeing they finally got rid of this burden, the whole family gathered around, celebrating with one another.

But their joy wouldn't last long.

The next moment, the hospital sent the diagnosis text of Chu Chen to my in-laws' phone.
