On the third day, at ten in the morning, I arrived at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau on time.

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

They looked so ready, fearing I might refuse the divorce and burden their whole family.

My father-in-law urgently took out a divorce agreement and threw it in front of me.

"Don't blame us for being ruthless. No one would save this situation, it's leukemia. If you refuse to give up, don't drag this family down."

My father-in-law's serious look almost made me laugh out loud.

As hypocritical as always, but that doesn't matter anymore.

The conditions were extremely harsh. Not only did Lin Yan willingly give up custody of Qingqing, but she also stripped our daughter of the right to call her mother, demanding that my daughter and I cut all ties with their family and never contact them again.

As I was looking over the agreement, Lin Yan lowered her voice and said to me:

"If you give up Qingqing now and don't hurt Yaozu, I'm willing to give you another chance to regret."

I resisted the impulse to slap her, and without any hesitation, I picked up the pen and decisively signed my name on the divorce agreement.

A few minutes later.

Lin Yan and I got our divorce certificate and walked out of the civil affairs bureau.

"Finally rid of this jinx!"

"Exactly, that sickly Qingqing is finally gone. I wouldn't even dare let Yaozu interact with her; what if she infected Yaozu with the disease?"

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

Seeing that they had finally gotten rid of me as a burden, the whole family gathered together, celebrating with one another.

But their joy wouldn't last long.

The next second, a confirmation text regarding Yaozu was sent from the hospital to my father-in-law's phone.
