"Xiao Lin, you need to be clear today." He stared at me, his gaze sharp. "Have you... never considered me your husband?"
"I..."
"For the past three years, you've been thinking about Chen Gang, waiting for him to come back, haven't you?"
"I haven't!" I retorted.
"Then why do you want a divorce?" He glared at me. "Is it just because he returned?"
"Xu Zimo, why do you insist on tying me to Chen Gang?" I was angry now. "I've told you, it's impossible between us!"
"Then why—"
"Because of Chen Yun, right?" I looked into his eyes. "Because she died, that's why it's impossible between me and Chen Gang, isn't it?"
He was taken aback.
"Xu Zimo, do you know?" I said with a bitter smile. "Sometimes, I really wish I were the one who had died."
"Xiao Lin..."
"But the ones who are alive are the ones who suffer the most." I looked at him. "For the past three years, I've tried to be a good wife. I've tried to forget Chen Gang, but what have I gained from it?"
"You... forgot him?" He looked at me in surprise.
"Yes." I nodded. "I no longer love him, but... I've fallen for someone else."
"What did you say?" He was stunned.
"Xu Zimo, let's get a divorce." I said. "I'm really tired; I don't want to maintain this marriage anymore."
He stared at me, a gloomy light flickering in his eyes.
"I've told you before, I won't divorce you." He said coldly.
"Why?" I looked at him in confusion.
"Because..." He gritted his teeth. "I don't agree."
"Why?"
"There’s no reason." He said in a deep voice. "In short, if you want a divorce, it will only happen over my dead body."
"..."
I don't understand. He said he didn't want to hold me back, so why won't he agree to the divorce? Even if I say it's because of Chen Gang's appearance that I want a divorce, he shouldn't oppose it! He's such a proud person; how can he tolerate my "infidelity"?
Just then, the door was pushed open. Ma Jun burst in.
"Zimo, you really are here!" He excitedly ran up to Xu Zimo. "I have good news—"
"I'm not in the mood right now!" Xu Zimo replied coldly.
"But—"
"I said I'm not in the mood!" Xu Zimo shouted angrily.
"But Xiao Lin's brother—"
"What?" I suddenly stood up. "What happened to my brother?"
"He woke up!" Ma Jun said. "The nurse just told me!"
"Really?" I was overjoyed and immediately turned to run out the door.
"Xiao Lin!" Xu Zimo chased after me and grabbed my hand. "I'm going with you!"
...
At the doorway of the hospital room, I stopped, looking at my brother lying on the bed, too nervous to step forward.
"Go in!" Ma Jun urged.
"I..." I opened my mouth but couldn't make a sound.
Xu Zimo put his arm around my shoulder and guided me forward.
My brother looked at us with a puzzled expression on his face. "Who are you?"
"I'm your brother-in-law," Xu Zimo said.
"Brother-in-law?" My brother frowned. "Isn't my brother-in-law Chen Gang?"
"I..." Xu Zimo was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Xu Zimo, you can go out first," I said. "I'll explain to him."
"Okay." Xu Zimo patted my shoulder. "I'll wait for you outside."
He looked at me deeply for a moment before turning and leaving the hospital room.
"Sis, you finally came," my brother said, smiling at me. "It feels like I've been asleep for a long time..."
"Yeah," I nodded. "You've been asleep for three years."
"So long?" He looked at me in surprise. "What about you..."
"I'm fine," I shook my head. "I'm doing well."
"The guy said he's my brother-in-law," my brother asked. "Did he bully you?"
"No," I laughed. "He didn't bully me; he's been very nice to me."
"What about Chen Gang?" he asked. "Did you... break up?"
"Yeah," I nodded. "We broke up."
