Our Marriage's Final Chapter

I only figured after waking up.

It happened on my way back with the medicine.

There were 12 more bodies in the morgue.

I was physically weak, but I wanted to be discharged.

My parents' attending physician has tried to persuade me once.

This year, he also got to know the situation of my family.

He sighed and said, "You are the only one left in your village. Before your mother passed away, she asked me to tell you to live well."

I shed two tears.

After my health improved, I buried all the villagers on the hill in my hometown.

They also longed to return to their hometown.

On the seventh day, I returned to my hometown to pay homage to everyone's graves.

But outside the village, I saw Kyle's car.

How did he get here?

Could it be that he found out that the whole village died because of his broken appointment and came here to pay his respects with a guilty conscience?

Walking outside the village wall, I saw Kyle coming out.

And Bethany.

She had a worried look on her face and said, "Kyle, do you think the fish will have a good life in the next life?"

Kyle looked at her indulgently and said, "Definitely, didn't the master say so? That place is a treasure land, and it will definitely allow the fish to have a good life in the next life."

Upon hearing this, Bethany finally smiled.

I watched coldly.

I didn't expect someone like Kyle to believe in these superstitious things.

But if it's for Bethany, then it's not surprising.

Kyle caught sight of me and said, "What are you doing here?"

I frowned, thinking. This should be my question to him.

He frowned and questioned me clearly in his tone.

He was just one step away from saying 'tracking'.

I didn't want to have any more entanglement with him. "It's none of your business."

I was about to leave, but he grabbed my hand.

His palm was warm as always, but I couldn't forget his indifference when he abandoned me.

I forcefully pushed him away. "Don't touch me!"

I rarely got angry with him, after all, our engagement was all thanks to my grandfather saving his grandfather.

I was climbing high, so I was always careful with him.

Kyle frowned, "Ruby, what's wrong with you?"

I didn't want to pay attention to him. His voice reminded me of the beeping sound of life-supporting devices in the hospital.

He still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Bethany.

"Ruby, that day, it was because of the critical situation with my fish that delayed Kyle from delivering medicine to you. Don't blame Kyle, blame me."

I looked at her earnest appearance and found it funny.

"For a dead fish, and it was a critical situation, more than seventy lives in my village were at stake."

"I blame Kyle because he is my fiancé. What are you, worth blaming?"

"What are you shameless for?"

I shouted angrily.

Those were more than seventy lives.

Almost. They were almost saved.

If it weren't for Bethany holding back Kyle, their ending wouldn't have been...

Kyle stood up with a cold face. "Ruby! You're still my fiancée from the Iversen family. Who allowed you to curse at people without manners? Apologize to Bethany!"

"Then let's break the engagement!"

He stood there in a daze, unable to react. "What did you say?"

I ignored him.

He followed me and I scolded him, "Get lost!"

His face turned dark. "Must it be like this? Isn't it just asking you to apologize to her? You were the one who made the mistake in the first place."

I didn't say anything, but my attitude was obvious.

He softened his tone. "Last time, I neglected you, but didn't I give you the medicine afterwards? Stop making a fuss, okay? Be good."

I didn't expect that Kyle would actually compromise and give in.

This has never happened before.

If it were before, I would have been so happy that I couldn't find my way.

But then I just felt disgusted.

He saw that I was not receptive and lost patience. "Indeed, Bethany was right. I spoiled you too much. If you don't apologize and admit your mistake to her."

"I will cut off the special medicine you want."

His threat did not have the expected effect.

On the contrary, I laughed.

If he cared about me even a little, he wouldn't use this to threaten me.

"It doesn't matter."

Kyle frowned.

Seemingly sensing the sadness in my smile, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. "What's wrong with you?"

I was about to push him away, but Bethany noticed that something was wrong with his mood and pretended to kindly hold my hand.

"Ruby, I happen to have some good news that I haven't shared with anyone. Come and see my fish's grave. Do you think it's well built?"

Over the village wall, I looked at the scene in front of me with a cold body.

All the houses in the village were demolished and turned into cement ground.

Even the small hills were leveled!

There was a luxurious tombstone standing in the ruins, which was out of place with the surroundings.

And a mastiff was eating the ashes in the ruins.

I seemed to be deaf and couldn't hear the sounds around me.

But Bethany's voice still reached my ears clearly.

"This was the place that Kyle accompanied me to choose for a long time. I heard that the site here is good."

"Ruby, where are you going..."

I pushed her away and ran over to drive away the mastiff.

I held the ashes in the ruins with my hands.

Crying uncontrollably.

So many...

I didn't know where those ashes were from.

The mastiff bared its teeth, stuck out its tongue, and wanted to eat other ashes in the ruins.

I picked up a stone and threw it at it. "You are not allowed to eat!"

It was provoked by me and was about to pounce on me.

"Ruby!"

Kyle ran quickly from a distance.

The mastiff obviously recognized him and didn't attack me again.

Bethany ran over and hugged the it. "Dear, are you okay?"

I hit its front leg with a stone, leaving a small cut.

Bethany looked at me angrily. "What are you doing? I've already apologized to you, why are you treating my dog like this?"

I haven't gotten angry yet, but she got angry first.

I pointed at it. "What is it doing again?"

Bethany shrugged. "I heard that this used to be a milk powder processing factory, and he likes to eat milk powder. So what?"

That was ridiculous.

I didn't know if she really doesn't know or just pretends not to know.

I could tell from my intuition that she was not innocent.

Bethany cried and said, "Kyle, my cute fish is gone, and I only have the dog left. Why did Ruby hit it?"

Kyle looked at Bethany crying sadly, frowning.

He grabbed me and said coldly, "Are you crazy? Apologize to Bethany."

It's always like this when Bethany was around.

Kyle never stood on my side.

I angrily retorted, "Kyle, what right do you have to order me? We have broken out engagement."

His face turned even darker after hearing this.

"You are really stubborn!"

Kyle dialed his assistant's phone in front of me.

To make it clearer for me to hear, he put it on speakerphone.

"Karl, stop the special medicine for Ruby next month."

He looked at me contemptuously as he spoke.

"Some people like her don't deserve it."

There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Mr. Iversen, don't you know? Everyone in the Norris family village has already passed away."

"What?"
