The servant was aware that something had occurred within Markâs family, so she refrained from bothering him and promptly took Laura out of the hospital.
Since the age of six, Laura had never uttered another word.
On the day Edwin was discharged from the hospital, Cecilia packed up his things.
The driver was waiting downstairs.
Mark had just gotten off from the company.
As he observed the things she was carrying, he gently suggested, âGo to my place and stay there for a while.
â
Cecilia shook her head.
Mark understood her thoughts, so he refrained from pressuring her âYou can go to your parentsâ place then.
Edwin will be taken care of.
â
Cecilia shook her head again.
Standing by the window, she said softly, âMark, I want to start a new life.
â
Mark was puzzled by her words.
Cecilia glanced at the car parked outside and said in a hushed tone, âIâve hired two dependable people to assist me in taking care of Edwin.
I will plan my own life.
If you want to see Edwin, you can make an appointment one week in advance.
â
Mark clenched his fists.
He grasped her intention.
She not only desired a divorce but also custody of their child.
If he wanted to visit, he would only see Edwin, not her.
Mark approached her slowly.
Staring at her slender back, he asked hoarsely, âCanât we care for our child together?â
Cecilia turned to face him.
She said firmly, âMark, sign the divorce papers.
Itâs over between us.
â
âCeciliaâ¦â Mark tried to control his emotions.
âNo matter what I do, itâs useless, isnât it? In the end, youâll leave with our son, wonât you? For the sake of our past, please forgive me for this once!â
âThis has nothing to do with forgiveness.
â
After a brief pause, Cecilia continued slowly, âI just donât want you anymore.
â
Markâs forehead bulged with veins.
