Leo wanted to make a move, but I held his hand. He pouted in dissatisfaction. “Do you feel sorry for him?”
I laughed speechlessly. “I feel sorry for your hand.
He immediately kissed me on the face like a child who stole honey.
When I turned my head to look at the dejected Elmer, the smile in my eyes. disappeared completely.
“You should have seen the breakup text message. We are no longer related. I have a husband who loves me now. You and
Melissa should be together. You don‘ t have to act so hard anymore.”
He looked at me in panic and shook his head repeatedly. “It’s not like that. Melissa lied to me. I love you, Erin. I was stupid and deceived. Please give me another chance, okay? I will make it up to

you. I will use the rest of my life to prove to you that I only love you.
If he had said this a week ago, I might have been moved to tears, but now, I am only disgusted.
“No matter how strong the affair is, it can’t be brewed without boiling water. At this point, you can only use women as a shield to cover up the fact that you want both. Elmer, the only person you love is yourself.”
He grabbed the ring and tried to give it to me, but I waved it away and the ring rolled away without a trace.
Faced with his surprise, he took off his wedding gloves.
The thick gauze was wrapped from the palm to the arm. Although I used the best medicine to eliminate most of the pain, every night, I would always be unable to sleep because of the discomfort of the
wound.

My parents were worried about me and felt sorry for me. I didn’t know how many tears they shed.
Elmer‘ s pupils trembled and he knelt in front of me in pain and regret, tears streaming down his face. “I’m sorry, Erin.”
“I don’t need your apology. I just need you to never appear in front of me again from now on, as if you were dead and be a qualified ex.‘
Elmer couldn’t accept it and cried out in tears, “Erin, I beg you, don‘ t leave me. We were about to get married, just a little bit away, why is it like this!”
He pounded the ground like crazy, crying heartbreakingly.
I was indifferent, no longer looked at him, took Leo’s arm and left without looking
back.

Half a month later, I received a video from an unfamiliar number.
In the video, Elmer picked up a hammer and smashed his proud surgical hand.
A pair of big hands covered my eyes in time and he said sourly, “Do you feel bad?”
I grabbed his hand and played with it. “A video of a stranger, why should I feel bad? If I feel bad, I feel bad that my husband will be drowned in jealousy.”
Leo held me on his lap and hugged me with great care. “That’s great, you are mine, no one can take you away.”
I smiled with stars in my eyes. “Yeah, forever yours.”
After that, I heard from my past friends. that Melissa pretended to break her hands and Elmer broke both of her hands.
Evidence was even collected and she was sent to prison for abetting rape.
He also spent money to have someone take

special care of Melissa in prison.
Before Melissa was released from prison, it was reported that she was beaten and paralyzed.
And Elmer, after his hand was broken, could no longer be a doctor and he drank and smoked and ruined himself in the hospital.
When he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, it was already in the late stage.
One night, I received a strange phone call.
The voice was weak and humble. “Erin, I’m dying and you still…”
“You got the wrong number.”
“Wife, who’s calling?”
“Sales.”
I hung up and blocked him and threw myself into Leo’s arms.
I was always happy and everything was going well.
