Upon hearing my words, my partner was so enraged that he fell down the stairs, foam forming at his mouth. My son, witnessing this, hurriedly picked him up and rushed upstairs. However, due to his lack of exercise, my son stumbled on the stairs and fell hard, causing my partner to cry out in pain.
I stood on the staircase, watching this scene unfold with no emotion whatsoever. "This is your own doing; you have no one to blame but yourself."
I had barely walked away when I turned back; I certainly wouldn't let them off easily. My son, seeing me return, quickly called for help. "Mom, come quick! What's wrong with Dad?"
"Mom, hurry!"
I sneered quietly, silently observing the person who had accompanied me for most of my life, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within me. My partner was taken to the hospital under my watchful gaze.
During these days while my partner was hospitalized, I stayed at home since I hadn't found a place to live yet. It was during this time that I discovered a secret my partner had hidden away for many years—his white moonlight.
This secret remained concealed until I stumbled upon items in the room. I looked at the photos in the dark cabinet; these were pictures of my partner and his white moonlight from their youth. Back then, he was still young and handsome. His white moonlight was also young and beautiful.
But now, he had aged significantly, his face lined with wrinkles and his hair peppered with gray. Holding the photos in my hands, anger surged within me. "Why? Why did you betray me?"
"After all these years, am I still not as good as her?"
I angrily tore down all the photos, along with the figurines and letters that my husband had received from his white moonlight, shredding them into pieces to send back to him.
"If you like her so much, then I'll make it easy for you!"
After renting a new place, I moved out immediately.
Not long after, I received a call from my son.
"Mom, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Why are you provoking Dad? Don't you know he's not well?"
I scoffed, "His health is none of my concern."
"Why should I care about him when he treats me this way?"
My son was left speechless by my words.
"You... how can you say that?"
"He's your husband!"
"And so what? What right does he have to be my husband?"
"Does he deserve my concern after treating me like this?"
My son was at a loss for words and had to switch to his wife.
"Mom, I know it's not easy for you, but you can't treat Dad like this!"
"Do you realize that you're making it difficult for us?"
"If it's difficult, then don't do it. I'm not forcing you."
"Aren't you the ones who want money? Go ask him! Why come to me?"
My daughter-in-law was also left speechless by my retort.
Seeing that both of them were silent, I continued, "Don't call me anymore; I won't answer."
"If you have something to say, just message me. I'll respond when I see it."
Just as I was about to hang up, I heard my husband's voice on the other end.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"Come back quickly and take care of me."
I scoffed, "Why should I take care of you? Don't even think about it!"
My son raised his voice upon hearing this.
"After all these years with Dad, can't you just endure a little?"
I snapped back, "Endure? I've put up with him my whole life, and now I have to endure more?"
"Listen, this is all his own doing."
My son was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"
"I found out he transferred a sum of money, and the beneficiary isn't you two; it's his white moonlight."
As soon as I said this, there was silence on the other end of the line.
