Chapter 2

Eric and Sharon rushed to the hospital when they heard the news.

I saw hope again and stopped them, wanting them to help me explain.

They could understand a little simple sign language.

Sharon nodded slightly, but Eric pushed me aside and got into the room.

They exchanged some pleasantries, and then Sharon hesitated and said, "Megan..."

Laura realized what she was going to say and interrupted her, "Sharon, Megan just likes Roman too much. Don't be angry."

I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, grabbed Laura, and gestured vigorously with my hands. "You're lying! You're lying!"

She rubbed her wrist, snuggled up in Roman's arms, and said pitifully, "I'm sorry, Megan. Don't be angry. I won't say anything."

I gestured desperately towards Sharon, almost in tears. I wanted to say, "Tell him it's not like that!"

She avoided my gaze.

I felt powerless. During the three years I took care of Roman alone, I had never been more desperate than I was today.

Eric said angrily, "It was you who forced Laura to leave Roman, and you even said that he wouldn't know anyway."

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have thought that my father would slander me like this. These words made my heart ache.

At first, it was Laura who disliked Roman for being in a vegetative state and didn't want to marry him, so Eric and Sharon asked me to marry Roman.

Roman sneered, "Megan, fortunately, I woke up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known all these things."

I bit my lower lip tightly. I was so despicable in his eyes.

Sharon pulled me out of the room and said guiltily, "Don't blame Eric. We really owe Laura this."

Laura's parents died to save my parents. Then, my parents took her home and doted on her.

They thought they should do that, so I had to give in to her in everything.

As long as I refused, Laura would cry and say that if her parents were still alive, things would be different.

When I developed aphasia and needed company, she made my parents take her on a trip abroad.

Three years ago, Laura taunted me, "A mute marrying a vegetative person is a perfect match!"

Sharon continued, "Now that Roman is awake, he will divorce you sooner or later. Laura leaves a good impression on him in advance, and she will have a higher status in the future, won't she?"

With tears in my eyes, I pounded my chest hard, and only in this way could I relieve the pain in my heart.

They felt guilty, but they made me bear all this humiliation.

Roman decided to divorce me in the morning, and in the afternoon, he had already drawn up the divorce agreement.

He was so afraid that I would cause trouble that he found a few bodyguards to watch me sign my name.

I smiled bitterly and slowly wrote down my name.

He once saved my life, and I took care of him for three years. From now on, we were even.
