“I understand why you brought me here today. You want me to face reality. You did not have the heart to tell me that she did not want to save Isaias, right?
“Marlon, it's okay. This is Isaias and my life."
The gentle offensive took effect immediately. Marlon looked flustered in a way I had never seen him look before.
He hugged Melanie's shoulders tightly and kept promising, “Melanie, listen to me. I won't let you have any wild thoughts. I promise you that Isaias will be fine.
“I love you, I love Isaias, have you forgotten? Our family is going to travel to Europe. I will definitely save our son. If the matching is unsuccessful this time, I will find a way to have another child.
“I, Marlon, am rich and powerful. Even the Devil of Hell would not dare to take my son's life!”
His words were a reassurance to Melanie, but a fatal call to me.
He seemed to have forgotten long ago that his money, his power and everything he had were given by me.
He took away everything I had and that time he wanted to squeeze out every last bit of my value.
my voice turned cold as I said, “Stop torturing each other, Marlon, let's part ways in peace.”
Marlon seemed not to hear me.
After he placed Melanie and Isaias in the hospital's VIP ward, he came back to see me.
“Don't say this kind of thing in front of Melanie in the future. She will blame herself.”
I responded to his silence.
Watching me like this, he continued, “Margret, I know you are angry. But talking too much about divorce between husband and wife will only hurt each other's feelings. You know, I will never divorce you.
“Everyone knows that I, Marlon, can be where I am today thanks to the support of my father-in-law and I am equally grateful. Which man in my position does not have a few female confidantes? I promise that you are the only one who will be my wife.”
“Is this a gift to me?” I sneered.
The innocent boy whom I once loved so deeply, had turned into an arrogant man without knowing when.
Yes, I was just a tool for him to maintain his persona.
