Counterattack: The Revenge of the Abandoned Woman
墨書 Inktalez
In the hospital corridor, filled with the smell of disinfectant and the muffled cries of family members, I felt an unusual calmness. The doctor announced that my child had a severe traumatic brain injury and needed an immediate craniotomy. I grasped his hand, pleading for him to save my child at all costs, but my husband pulled me back forcefully and coldly said, "We're not saving him."
At that moment, my head buzzed as if I could hear my child's desperate cries. "You have no right to make decisions for him!" I pushed him away violently, but he held my wrist tightly, his words chilling: "That child won't live long anyway; we might as well save the money to have another one..."
I looked at this man in disbelief; the tenderness he once showed felt like a ridiculous dream. The indifference in his eyes pierced through my fragile nerves like an ice pick. "You..." My voice trembled, struggling to find words to express my shock and fear.
"Wenxin," my mother-in-law's dry hand touched my arm, her tone icy, "I know it's hard for you to accept right now, but Cheng Bin is doing this for your own good. Instead of wasting money on a child who won't live long, it's better to save it for a healthy one. Don't you think?"
I shook her hand off violently and stumbled back a few steps until my back hit the cold wall, feeling as if I were in an endless abyss. "You... have been lying to me all along?" I murmured to myself, my thoughts in disarray.
"Stop talking about lies; how ugly that sounds!" Zhang Chengbin frowned impatiently and tossed a bank card in front of me. "There's some money on this card; take it for now. I'll handle the child's situation."
I looked down at the cold card at my feet, feeling utterly ironic. This was my husband, who could so heartlessly abandon his own flesh and blood for another woman! I took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turmoil within me, slowly crouching down to pick up the bank card, my fingertips turning slightly white from the pressure.
"Fine, I agree." I raised my head and stared coldly at Zhang Chengbin, forcing a faint smile. "I will sign to give up treatment, but I want to take the child with me. I will care for him in his last moments."
"You..." Zhang Chengbin clearly did not expect me to agree so readily. He opened his mouth to refute but was stopped by my sharp gaze.
"What? You don't want that?" I stepped closer with a hint of provocation in my tone. "Or are you afraid I'll discover something?"
Zhang Chengbin's eyes flickered as he instinctively took a step back, avoiding my gaze. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do I have to be afraid of?" He replied with feigned calmness, but his tone betrayed his unease.
I smiled coldly and ignored him, turning towards the hospital room. I knew they were hiding something from me, but I wouldn't let them succeed. For my child, I would uncover the truth and make them pay the price they deserved!
In the following days, I seemingly complied with the procedures for my child's discharge and, under my family's arrangement, moved back to my parents' home to recuperate. However, secretly, I began gathering evidence. I searched every corner of the house and finally found the hidden phone of Zhang Chengbin in an inconspicuous drawer.
The phone was filled with ambiguous messages between him and an unknown number, the intimacy and explicitness in the words stinging my eyes. I suppressed my nausea and anger, taking screenshots of all the information as irrefutable proof of his infidelity.
At the same time, I discovered that Zhang Chengbin had been frequently in contact with a woman named Ju Mengying. There seemed to be some unspeakable secret between them. My intuition told me that this woman must be connected to the incident involving my child!
To uncover the truth, I decided to reach out to my college classmate, Lawyer Liu. He is an experienced divorce lawyer, known for his integrity and kindness, and might be able to help me.
When the call connected, I held back my tears and briefly explained the situation to him. There was a long silence on the other end, and I could sense Lawyer Liu's shock and anger.
"Wenxin, don't worry. I will do everything I can to help you," Lawyer Liu's voice was firm and powerful, providing me with immense support and comfort. "Rest assured, the law is just; they will pay for their actions!"
After hanging up, I let out a long sigh of relief, a flicker of hope igniting within me. I knew that my path of revenge had just begun...
