He Abandoned Me in the Flames

Two years ago, a fire in the school auditorium trapped me and Flora.

My husband, Nolan, was a firefighter.

In the fire, he stepped over my body, which was pressed by heavy objects, and shouted "Flora" while searching for Flora's figure.

Flora was his goddess in college, his unforgettable crush.

He didn't call my name.

Nor did he see me, barely alive under the ruins.

I was suffocated by the thick smoke and was finally saved by his colleagues.

The moment I breathed fresh air, I saw him carrying Flora and rushing out of the fire in the chaotic crowd.

I was unharmed.

Flora suffered severe burns.

So, I should compromise.

That was Nolan's logic.

I clicked open Flora's live broadcast room.

She was live-streaming her burn recovery training.

Wearing a low-cut dress, she was revealing the large scars on her neck, trying to seek sympathy from netizens.

Nolan also showed in the camera, gently helping Flora with joint recovery training.

His eyes were filled with indulgence and tenderness.

Netizens' comments quickly scroll by.

[Dear, you're so strong. I'll send you some gifts to show support.]

[Beautiful girl, your optimistic attitude towards life has touched me.]

[I've donated some money to you, doing what I can.]

[Your boyfriend is a nice person, never leaving you. Thumbs up to you guys.]

Nolan saw that comment but did not clarify the issue.

I remembered that Flora once cried and begged me privately.

"Elise, you are unharmed, but I am burned like this. Can't you just let me have Nolan?"

That was the first time I confronted her head-on, shocked by her hypocritical words.

I mercilessly retorted, "What do your burns have to do with me? Why should I let you have my husband?"

She wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with ambition.

"Then let's get him by our means."

I slapped her.

It was shameless of her to willingly be a mistress of Nolan knowing that he had a wife.

That day, Nolan skipped work for the first time and rushed home to question me.

"Elise Murphy, how could you be so heartless? Flora's parents died in the fire, and she managed to escape from the fire. Instead of sympathizing with her, you slapped her. Are you still human?"

I was stunned, staring at his handsome face, which was now red with anger.

I raised my hand and slapped him too.

"Nolan, don't you know who you are?"

He seemed to have forgotten that he was my husband.

He forgot that I also managed to escape from that big fire.

He forgot that my parents died in that fire too.

Most importantly, he forgot that he used my bank card to pay for Flora's medical expenses.

I was so kind-hearted, paying for Flora's medical expenses and letting her steal my husband.

No wonder that Flora had the nerve to show off in front of me, Nolan's wife.

After all, she didn't need to fight at all.

Nolan had always wanted her.

I, however, was just Nolan's simp.
