Simon took the document and lowered his peach blossom eyes to see it. As his eyes swept over it, he saw the most eye-catching title first: The Divorce Agreement.
Initially, the corners of his eyes were filled with a languid smile, but now, the smile was gone totally.
Just like the laboratory sheet that the doctor handed to him in the emergency department that year, his slender fingers tightened the sheet, which made a rustling sound. His pupils contracted, and his cold eyes seemed to sink into a miasma of sadness and despair.
"Mrs. Chin, what do you mean?"
Emily straightened her back and felt that her body kept sinking into the sofa as if she could not touch it. At this time, she really wanted to cover her ears and shout at him.
She did not want him to call her Mrs. Chin anymore!
Because every time she heard him call her that, she felt that something in her heart collapsed.
Emily stood up from her shadow and moved her feet to turn aside. "I have signed the divorce agreement and can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at any time to remove our relationship. But I won't take any of your property!"
In fact, she didn't even read the agreement carefully, because the details in it were not important to her.
After returning from the hospital, as the night outside became darker and darker, all the sound from his mobile phone was mechanical female voice. When dawn came little by little outside, she pulled off her pen cap and signed her name at the last page.
Simon threw the divorce agreement in his hand on the tea table and strode to her. His peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed and he said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
His voice became much higher in the end. His shout seemed to echo across the living room.
Emily slightly raised her eyes and was caught by his cold and sullen eyes. At this moment, she was confused. She found that she still couldn't understand him, as if she didn't understand where his anger came from.
Wasn't this what he wanted?
She clenched her fist, and her cold sweat wet the lines inside. "Monster, we've been married for four years now, and our agreement has ended. We'll go our separate ways from now on. We don't have to be bound by this marriage anymore. Finally, you and I can regain our freedom!"
"Emily, Do you dare to say it again!" Simon said while grinding his teeth.
Emily shrank her shoulder suddenly because of his roaring from a close distance. She saw him coldly staring at her at this time, and it seemed that there was a fierceness in his eyes.
She felt timid, but at the same time, she was slightly annoyed. "Simon!"
Simon's Adam's apple rolled.
Usually, she would call him monster. It was rare for her to call out his name together with his surname directly, only once.
Even after such a long time, he still remembered very clearly that not long after they got married, his first patient that couldn't be healed passed away. At that time, he was very depressed and pressured. She had accompanied him in the garden for a long time and softly called his name to comfort him. She told him that the doctor's job was to heal the wounded and rescue the dying. It was his duty to save the patient, and he had done everything he could to save the patient.
And she also said that he did very well...
This was the second time she called him like this.
Even at this time, when he was extremely angry, he still felt warm in his heart for her gentle call. His closed palm gradually relaxed. He wanted to reach out to grab her arm, but he had to stop owing to Emily's following words.
Emily looked into his peach blossom eyes, which were black with glow in the morning light, and said softly, "You persuaded me to marry you for four years. And now, please allow me to ask you for a divorce."
