The servant was aware that something had occurred within Mark’s family, so she refrained from bothering him and promptly took Laura out of the hospital.
Since the age of six, Laura had never uttered another word.
On the day Edwin was discharged from the hospital, Cecilia packed up his things.
The driver was waiting downstairs.
Mark had just gotten off from the company.
As he observed the things she was carrying, he gently suggested, “Go to my place and stay there for a while.”
Cecilia shook her head.
Mark understood her thoughts, so he refrained from pressuring her “You can go to your parents’ place then. Edwin will be taken care of.”
Cecilia shook her head again.
Standing by the window, she said softly, “Mark, I want to start a new life.”
Mark was puzzled by her words.
Cecilia glanced at the car parked outside and said in a hushed tone, “I’ve hired two dependable people to assist me in taking care of Edwin. I will plan my own life. If you want to see Edwin, you can make an appointment one week in advance.”
Mark clenched his fists.
He grasped her intention. She not only desired a divorce but also custody of their child.
If he wanted to visit, he would only see Edwin, not her.
Mark approached her slowly.
Staring at her slender back, he asked hoarsely, “Can’t we care for our child together?”
Cecilia turned to face him.
She said firmly, “Mark, sign the divorce papers. It’s over between us.”
“Cecilia…” Mark tried to control his emotions.
“No matter what I do, it’s useless, isn’t it? In the end, you’ll leave with our son, won’t you? For the sake of our past, please forgive me for this once!”
“This has nothing to do with forgiveness.”
After a brief pause, Cecilia continued slowly, “I just don’t want you anymore.”
Mark’s forehead bulged with veins.
