- When I woke up again, I was in a ward, and I could hear my parents scolding. “Ryan Lincoln, you’ve gone too farl Jean agreed to this marriage, and you took her to a hotel before the wedding? You hurt her like this!” Dad’s voice trembled with anger. “I thought you were a good man. How are you any different from that animal in the Mook Family? The wedding is in three days. Couldn’t you wait? I wondered why Jean suddenly agreed to this marriage. So, you were behind it all!” With that, Dad slapped Ryan Lincoln across the face.
- Ryan staggered but didn’t dodge, sincerely admitting, “It’s my fault, and I’m willing to take
- responsibility for Jean. Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured, Jean is the only one I’ve ever loved, and that will never change.” Disappointed, Morn turned and went downstairs to pay the bill. Dad, furious, stormed to the window to smoke, trying to calm himself.
- I understood from their conversation that Ryan had taken the blame for everything I suffered in the Mook Family to protect my reputation. I struggled to sit up, but the raw wounds on my body flared with sharp pain, making me cry out. Ryan rushed into the ward, anxiously pressing me back against the bed. “Don’t move. Your wound was just bandaged. The doctor said you need
- to lie down for a couple of days for it to scab over.”
- After five years, Ryan had become even more mature and composed. His face was as
- striking as ever, making me feel momentarily disoriented. “Why? Why did you admit to doing it?”
- I asked softly. Ryan said casually as he poured water, “It’s nothing. It’s something you have to do
- after you’re married anyway. If Jean feels indebted to me, she can just make it up to me on our
- wedding night.” His seemingly joking words made me blush and eased the tense atmosphere. I
- know he’s doing all this for me, wanting to shield Mom and Dad from the terrible truth, afraid they
- wouldn’t be able to handle the shock.
- Because of the engagement, Mom and Dad, though angry, couldn’t say much more. They
- only told me to take care of my injuries and instructed Ryan to look after me in the hospital as atonement. Blinded by anger, they didn’t bother to investigate Ryan’s lies, even though he was
- holding a press conference at the company when everything happened.
- To lift my spirits, Ryan told me jokes like he used to when I was a child and sent a plethora of
- jewelry to the ward, suggesting I wear them at the wedding and take my time choosing. Mindful of my injuries, he selected wedding dress styles that would conceal my skin. Initially, my parents disapproved, believing their daughter should look radiant on her wedding day, and covering myself entirely defeated the purpose. Ryan chuckled and said, “Jean is my bride, and only I am
- privileged to see her. Outsiders are not worthy.” Once again, he concealed things for me in this way. Although my parents felt helpless, they were relieved to entrust me to him and no longer objected.
- The wedding was set for three days later. During that time, Ryan stayed in the ward, refusing to leave even for a moment, and didn’t go to work. I felt a little guilty, thinking I was delaying him, but he said nonchalantly, “We’re getting married soon. Can’t I take some time off? It’s only ric

- to be with my wife.” His words made my face flush, and I was too embarrassed to refuse his care any longer. I took out my phone, and as soon as I turned it on, messages flooded the screen, all from Ethan. “Jean, where are you? What are you up to now? I told you, Enya is just a kid. Don’t give

- The wedding was set for three days later. During that time, Ryan stayed in the ward, refusing
- to leave even for a moment, and didn’t go to work. I felt a little guilty, thinking I was delaying him,
- but he said nonchalantly, “We’re getting married soon. Can’t I take some time off? It’s only right
- to be with my wife.” His words made my face flush, and I was too embarrassed to refuse his care
- any longer. I took out my phone, and as soon as I turned it on, messages flooded the screen, all
- from Ethan. “Jean, where are you? What are you up to now? I told you, Enya is just a kid. Don’t give
- me the cold shoulder over this.” “Jean, don’t push it. My patience is wearing thin. You have one
- hour to get back to the hospital. Don’t test me. Even if you’re angry, don’t jeopardize your health”
- “You’re not a child anymore; there should be a limit to your tantrums!” “Who do you think you
- are, blacklisting me? Unblock my number, or forget about us ever remarrying!” Then came the
- messages from his friends, saying Enya was just being immature and that I, his wife, shouldn’t take her seriously–it was just a fling.
- Looking at those messages, I was filled with disgust. I was about to delete and block him
- when the phone rang. My hand shook, and I nearly dropped it. Ryan, noticing something was wrong, grabbed the phone and answered it. Ethan’s furious roar immediately came from the other end of the phone: “Jean, where the hell are you! Don’t play dead with me! Enya is still in the
- hospital in critical condition after you pushed her. You need to come here and take care of her. This is your last chance! Don’t be ungrateful!”
- Ryan chuckled: “How noisy. I’m sorry, but Jean can’t answer the phone right now. She was
- too tired last night and is still resting in bed. I can’t pass on your message, sorry.” He held the
- phone away and put it on speaker. Ethan’s voice, completely losing it, echoed in the ward: “Who the hell are you? Jean, how dare you find some random guy behind my back? Don’t forget who’s been supporting you all this time! Are you that desperate? You couldn’t even wait until after the divorce to cheat? I was so blind; I thought you were a decent person! Say something! Where are you? I’m coming over there right now! Jean, if you dare betray me, I swear I’ll break your legs!”
- The grievances I’d suppressed for years finally erupted. I snatched the phone and said
- coldly, “I’m sorry, but we’re divorced. Who I’m with is none of your concern. Besides, I’m getting married soon, so it’s perfectly normal for me to be with my fiancé. Stop disturbing my life, or your little canary might get jealous. Anyone would think you can’t live without me and are still trying to bother me.” Without waiting for Ethan’s response, I hung up and blocked his new number.
- Silence fell in the ward. After a moment, I looked at Ryan with a hint of guilt and said, “I’m sorry for troubling you.” Ryan’s face was grim, his knuckles tapping the table rhythmically. “I was going to deal with him after the wedding, but it seems he’s even more impatient than I am. Leave it to me, Jean, don’t worry.”
