My Ex-Husband's Betrayal, My New Beginning Chapter 2

When I woke up again, I was in a hospital bed.

"Stop pretending. The doctor said you just have low blood sugar. Why are you being so dramatic?"

Daniel stood over me, looking down, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

I didn't reply. I didn't want to talk to him.

Daniel couldn't stand it when I was like this. He snapped, "How long are you going to keep this up? Can't you learn to be more sensible, like Skylar?"

"Keep this up? Daniel, I'm already in this state, what do I have left to 'keep up' with you about?"

For him, I had undergone chemotherapy at 25.

I had become this ghost of my former self, and now he was tired of me. He was disgusted by me.

The man who once loved me so deeply had become a cruel stranger, a puppet in her hands.

"But you still can't give Skylar the cold shoulder. She's pregnant; what if her emotions get out of control and affect the baby?"

Mid-sentence, Daniel paused, noticing my pale face.

He used to be so concerned about me, but now, because of Skylar, he was yelling at me.

Completely forgetting that we had been married for over ten years.

He controlled himself. "I was too emotional... Eliza, you know, Skylar's parents were very good to me. I can't just stand by and watch her suffer."

I gave a cold laugh. "So I deserve to suffer instead?"

"You!"

Daniel was choked by my words.

"You're always so willful and defiant. Can't you learn to be a little more sensible and gentle like Skylar?"

He forgot that when we first got together, he used to say he loved my straightforward personality the most.

Now that he was tired of it, he blamed me.

But it didn't matter anymore. If he couldn't stand it.

I wasn't going to force it.

"I can't learn, and I won't. If you want someone 'sensible,' go find her."

"What do you mean?"

I looked at him coldly. "Let's get a divorce."

Daniel's face instantly darkened. "Divorce? Eliza, do you know what you're saying?"

"I'll have the divorce papers prepared today. You can leave now."

I had given him his marching orders, but Daniel suddenly became agitated.

"Just because I asked you to apologize to Skylar? You're threatening me with divorce?"

He wouldn't believe it.

Ten years into our marriage, I had never once talked about letting go, so Daniel naturally assumed I was just throwing a tantrum.

But the truth was, I wasn't.

"Eliza, when did you become so petty?"

I ignored him.

Daniel gritted his teeth. "Fine, you'd better think this through. If we divorce, I won't ever remarry you!"

"Don't come crawling back to me then!"
