Broken Marriage: The Destructive Power of First Love

I borrowed another doctor's phone and called repeatedly, but it was always off.

I glanced back at Leah, who was lying on the hospital bed waiting for help, and clenched my fists.

I couldn't sit and wait for him!

Although Xavier had been cheating on me for months, Leah was a really good girl.

She was honest, kind, hardworking, and had a very upright character.

Even if she wasn't my sister-in-law and just a stranger, I couldn't let her die without trying to help!

Xavier didn't believe me, so I would go find him!

In the three years of our marriage, Xavier and I had shared our phone locations to easily find each other.

Even if the phone was off, I could still determine his real-time location through the linked information.

I pinpointed his location at a mall and quickly took a taxi there.

When I arrived, I saw him seriously standing in front of a claw machine, leisurely aiming for a cute pink doll.

And Eden was intimately holding his waist, cheering him on from the side.

"You're amazing, you're the best!"

I almost vomited from disgust.

Yet Xavier loved this, and Eden's praise brought a gentle smile to his face.

"Xavier! Come with me now!"

I went up and tried to pull him away.

With Leah in such a critical condition, I was extremely anxious. Yet Xavier was leisurely playing with his ex.

My forceful tug made Xavier miss his aim on the doll.

Eden immediately looked disappointed, her voice even higher pitched, "Ah, my doll, what a pity!"

Xavier frowned unhappily, turned to see me, and his expression immediately darkened.

"Clara Watson, what are you doing?"

Xavier's tone was full of coldness and vigilance.

"You know today is Eden's birthday. I took time off to be with her. Do you have to ruin it?"

Even though Xavier and I had been in a quarrel for a long time, his rudeness wasn't unexpected.

But hearing him call me by my full name with such vigilance and disgust.

I couldn't help but disappoint.

Not long ago, he was still caring for me in every detail, calling me gently by my nickname.

It had only been a few months since Eden reappeared, and our relationship quickly deteriorated.

Some things are more urgent than others, and now wasn't the time to dwell on these issues.

I took a deep breath.

"Xavier, Leah is showing signs of sudden death. They say only you can perform the surgery. Come back to the hospital now, or it will be too late!"

I reached out to pull him again, but he coldly shook me off.

"Clara, first you installed cameras; now Leah's sudden death. How can you be so manipulative?"

A cold sneer and mockery flashed across his face, which then turned into deep disdain and disgust.

I was stunned.

A couple of months ago, I noticed Xavier often stayed out all night. Even when he came home, he would hide in his study alone.

Out of curiosity and concern, I installed a camera in the study.

While at work, I accidentally saw him and Eden intimately hugging as they entered the study.

He eagerly ripped off Eden's clothes, carried her princess-style onto the study desk, and they kissed passionately.

They were soon about to do unspeakable things.

At the critical moment, my angry voice came through the camera, startling them.

It even made Eden cry.

Since then, Xavier and I had been in the longest quarrel.

I was disappointed. Was the manipulative referring to the camera in his study?

I held back my anger and explained, "Xavier, we've been married for three years. You should know my character. Even if I had something against you, I wouldn't joke about Leah!"

The coldness in Xavier's eyes intensified.

He didn't believe me.
