When it came to her, Skyler was filled with resentments. He showed no pity for her and did not utter a word to Estelle.
Tears streamed down Estelle’s eyes, but she remained silent.
Choking on her sniffles, Estelle started coughing strenuously. She lied on the bed for quite a while as she did not have the strength to sit up. She was in tremendous pain.
With an icy cold voice, Skyler uttered, "Sign the papers."
She sat up shakily and asked, "You’ve been drinking?"
"It's none of your business!"
"Your stomach's not in a good shape, try to cut down o n the alcohol.”
"How could I possibly touch you if I'm sober?"
A force of strong blood smell rushed up to her throat, and the sticky fluid leaked from the corners of her lips. Estelle frowned while she wiped her mouth clean with the bedsheet under her. Her heart turned stone cold.
She kept a calm and gentle voice. "You came home
really fast, there isn't much traffic is there?"
Skyler had already tidied himself up. He lit up a cigarette, sat in the dark, and replied nonchalantly," It's for the divorce, of course, I'd be quick."
"Are you that desperate?"
She sat with her back facing him and her voice sounded frail. She started to cough again because of the smoke.
"Didn’t you already figure that I’m indeed eager for the divorce?" Skyler deliberately puffed out the smoke from the cigarettes toward Estelle. Weirdly, he felt a rush of satisfaction seeing how Estelle coughed strenuously until her body trembled.
