Parting Ways After Not Falling In Love

On my mother-in-law’s birthday, she made a wish in front of the cake. "I hope Jack can live a good life with Laura and stop associating with Jennifer."

Elysia finished speaking. My husband, Jack Price, received a call from Jennifer Wallace.

He left in a hurry despite Elysia's strong opposition.

Elysia was so angry that she suffered a heart attack and was sent to the ICU.

Only Jack’s company had the particular medicine that could cure Elysia, and he was the only person in charge!

When I called him, I heard the voice of his mistress, Jennifer.

"Jack is busy. Just tell me what happened."

I didn't have time to analyze what they were doing. I just spoke anxiously.

"Get him on the phone. Elysia is in the hospital and needs his company's medicine!"

Jack's voice came from the phone. "Jennifer's pet dog died. I just came to attend its funeral. Do you have to tell such a lie to cause trouble?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

I called him again, but his phone was turned off.

That day, Elysia died in the emergency room.

——

"The patient's condition is extremely critical. Didn't you just say there is a special medicine? Where is the medicine?"

The attending doctor came out of the emergency room with an anxious look.

"Her heart attack has already led to heart failure. If the special medicine is not delivered within two hours, we will be powerless to save her."

Two hours?

My hand, which had been dialing the phone, suddenly stopped.

I was trembling all over and begged, "Doctor, please stabilize Elysia's condition. I will get the medicine!"

I said so, but I was panicked.

I wandered in the corridor, dialing Jack's number with trembling hands again and again.

But what I heard was always the ruthless sound of shutting down the phone.

I was so anxious that I almost collapsed.

Elysia treated me well. I must save her.

I forced myself to calm down, then called Jack's secretary and asked her to bring the medicine to me.

But the secretary, Lily, said that only Jack had the authority to use the special medicine, and no one else had this authority.

The situation was urgent. I had no choice but to ask Lily to tell me where Jack was now.

It seemed that Lily felt my anxiety and panic. After some confusion, she finally sent me a location.

I ran there right away.

This was a funeral home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jack and Jennifer, like a couple, bowing to the guests who came to pay their respects.

This pet dog's funeral was more grand than some people's.

He saw me. Jack's sad expression immediately turned into displeasure.

"Laura, what are you doing? You actually followed me here?"

I dared not delay and got straight to the point.

"Elysia suddenly had a heart attack and is in a very dangerous condition. The doctor said that only your company's special medicine can save her. Come on. Get the medicine and follow me to the hospital."

I reached out to pull Jack. But he dodged to the side as if in disgust, then frowned at me with a look of annoyance.

At this time, Jennifer walked up to me with tears and said with a complicated expression.

"Laura, I know you don't like Jack associating with me, but there's no need to curse your mother-in-law just to trick him away from me.

"For so many years, Elysia has always treated you well. You are so vicious. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"

Hearing these words, Jack frowned again.
