Love to the End and See the Light Again

My daughter, Elaine, suddenly fell ill at school. There was no taxi available due to a snowstorm blocking the roads, so I had to ask Colt Simpson to take me there.

Just before departure, he received a call and said that the investor wanted to see him and asked me to go to school by myself.

I braved the snow and took my daughter to the hospital. She was already cold.

I held my daughter's body in my arms, in agony.

I called Colt more than a dozen times before someone answered the call.

"Hello, who is this? Colt has already gone to bed. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I'll tell him tomorrow."

It turned out that this was the investor that Colt was going to meet.

This was his ex-girlfriend, Amy Lane.

I hung up the phone trembling, deleted the number and turned off the phone.

Ten days later, I returned home. Colt looked disdainful.

"You are back. I thought you could be tougher this time and hold on for a few more days."

——

"Colt, let's get a divorce."

Colt and I had known each other since we were young. Our grandfathers wanted to arrange a marriage for their children, but unfortunately both of them had sons, so they wanted Colt and me to get married.

We went to school together. I saw him and Amy dating. And I also saw Amy dump him and go abroad.

I had a crush on Colt when I was seventeen years old. We got together when we were twenty, got secretly married when we were twenty-five, and had a daughter when I was twenty-seven. Now my daughter was six years old. Sixteen years had passed.

In these sixteen years, whether I had a cold and a fever, or my water suddenly broke and went to the hospital to give birth to my daughter, I didn't dare trouble him.

Colt was an actor, and we were still in a secret marriage. I dared not relax at all for fear of affecting his image and his career.

This was the first time in so many years that I asked him for help so humbly, but he just left me indifferently.

For sixteen years, I had exhausted my most precious youth.

Sixteen years later, I thought he had long forgotten Amy.

For sixteen years, I thought that as long as I persevered, he would change.

Unfortunately, I lost.

Because of my self-indulgence and my wishful thinking, my daughter lost her life.

She must hate me.

"Divorce? Myrna, you want to divorce me? Even if you want a divorce, I can't give you our daughter!"

He said sarcastically.

The word "daughter" hurt my heart.

"Just stop making trouble. I have found a doctor who can perform surgery on Elaine."

I ignored him. Elaine would never be with him in her life.

I turned around and went back to the house, took out my ID card, and walked out.

"Today, we are getting divorced."

He looked at the document in my hand, frowning.

"Are you serious?"

I looked at him. My eyes sore. "Colt, have I ever troubled you with any trivial matters over the years?"

Colt's expression changed slightly. "No."

I smiled and cried.

"Just this once. The only time.

"Is it true you were meeting with investors that day?"

Colt might have felt guilty. After a long silence, he said, "I'm sorry. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. I will never break my promise."

I said, "Colt, this is the first time I've heard you apologize in sixteen years, but I will never forgive you in my life."

Colt was about to say something when he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone. After answering the call, he left in a hurry without paying any attention to me behind him.

He had just left when I received a call from the cemetery.
