Kurt didn't reply to my message. He stood at the door and said, "Open the door, and let's talk face to face."
I didn't say anything or message him again.
Thus, Kurt could only go downstairs. Later, I vaguely heard his conversation with my mother.
"How about it?"
"Lara didn't open the door. It's okay, Anna. She will be fine tomorrow."
"You're not even allowed into the bedroom? Don't you have the key?"
As the sound faded away, I suddenly felt lucky that all the spare keys in the house were in my bedroom.
After lying on the carpet for a long time, I tried to stand up. However, I couldn't do it as if I had forgotten how to exert strength.
I crawled to the bathroom, lay in the bathtub, and fell asleep under the blanket.
I felt damp and cold in the middle of the night, so I struggled to get up, changed my clothes, and took a shower.
With my stomach cramping, I had a stomachache, and soon a bad smell appeared.
Getting up, I changed clothes and cleaned up again.
Later, I couldn't fall asleep anymore, looking at the darkness outside the house.
I wanted to live, but unluckily, in my current condition, I was unable to live long.
But no matter how difficult it was, I would get a divorce.
I didn't want to die as someone's wife.
After I got divorced, I would move out. Even if I couldn't survive, I wanted to die outside the house.
As my mother wished, I would die outside and never go back.
I turned on the light and put on some light makeup.
Then, I found an outfit I liked and put it on.
Such a simple thing might only take ten or twenty minutes in the past, but it took me almost two hours today.
It was daybreak, and I looked at the pendulum clock on the wall, which slowly ticked toward eight o'clock.
I found out all the materials we would need, took them, struggled to stand up, and walked down.
As I went downstairs, Kurt was not there.
There was only my mom, and the maid had just made breakfast.
"Hey, it's rare to see you getting up so early."
I looked at her, whose face was still blurry. My eyesight, which had been damaged, could no longer recover.
"We agreed to get a divorce today."
"What? Divorce, Lara, are you crazy?"
Anna was hysterical and furious. In the past, we would have started a big quarrel, but I didn't have the energy to do it today. Also, I could never argue with her later.
"I made this decision after careful consideration."
