My Mother-in-law Was Critically Ill, My Husband Was Busy Pursuing His Lover

As Kevin turned to look at me, he glanced around the room, but he still hadn't found Ian.

He suddenly frowned tightly and said indifferently, "Haven't you gotten in touch with him yet?"

I nodded helplessly and forcibly shed a tear.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't called Carol before when he was in critical condition, everything would have been fine. Now he won't believe me no matter what I say..."

Kevin and Ian were close, so of course he knew Bella and was aware of their ridiculous relationship.

Upon hearing what I said, he sighed, "We don't blame you. We just blame Ian for not being conscious!"

He took his gloves right off, walked over to the nurse's station, and dialed Ian's number with the telephone on the nurse's station.

I walked up in a hurry, feeling genuinely anxious.

The moment the call was answered, Kevin said sternly, "Carol has to be in surgery right now, and you're the only one who can sign the surgery paper for her. Where are you? Come to the hospital right now!"

The sound on the other side of the phone sounded noisy, and Ian seemed to be on his way to drive to the airport to catch up with Bella.

Ian didn't even take Kevin's words to heart.

"Since you're taking care of my mom in the hospital, what will happen to her?

"Audrey is acting up in front of me, but are you also messing around with her? Don't you know Bella is leaving today? If I don't catch up with her, I'll never see her again for the rest of my life!

"I missed her once five years ago, and I don't want to do it again this time. I know you're speaking for Audrey, but I don't want to live with a woman I don't love for the rest of my life. That's it. I have to drive, so I'm hanging up."

With nowhere to vent his anger, Kevin's eyes widened in disbelief that he couldn't believe that Ian wouldn't even listen to him.

For a split second, Kevin's eyes turned red with anger, and his heart kept beating violently.

He kept pressing the redial button with force.

But after Kevin redialed the phone over and over again, all that came was the sound of hanging up coldly.

The anger in his eyes gradually turned into disappointment.

Finally, he sighed helplessly.

He punched his fist on the desktop in vain.

I was on the verge of tears, begging the nurse on duty beside me to lend me her cell phone in order to contact Ian to sign.

The moment the call was answered, Ian heard my voice, and his tone instantly turned indifferent.

"Are you done? Have you finished making a scene? You knew Bella was leaving today, but you had to cause trouble today, didn't you?

"What can you do to me today if I don't go? We can get a divorce, and I've had enough of you being suspicious of me for a long time. If you touch my mom, I'll make you pay for it!"

Ian didn't give me a chance to explain, and he abruptly hung up.

I sneered sarcastically.

I felt worthless in my mind for the five years I had wasted.

During the five years we got married, I took care of Carol every day and did everything I could for her, but all I ended up with was Ian's heartless words.

I wasn't the woman Ian loved, much less the wife he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.

My chest was stabbed by him in my previous life. At this moment, I could still feel the pain tearing through my heart.

As my tears overflowed my eyes, I reached up and wiped them away casually.

The nurses kept screaming from the operating room, and Kevin's name was called numerous times.

He finally gave up on contacting Ian completely.

Kevin turned around and walked into the operating room with determination.

The critically ill notice on the table looked particularly harsh.

I calmed down and sat back in my chair.

After I contacted my lawyer, he drew up a divorce settlement for me, and he got the funeral home ready to handle Carol's funeral.

Soon, the lights went out in the operating room.

Kevin removed his mask with exhaustion and sorrow and shook his head at me.
