Ten Years of Marriage and A Regret

The surrounding scenery became a little blurred in my vision perhaps because the lights were too bright.

I closed my eyes in an attempt to stop thinking about the past, but it kept flooding into my mind.

Sean and I had been in a relationship ever since that day.

To gain recognition from Sean's family, I had given up my ideals and had applied for admission to a normal university.

I had stubbornly refused all financial assistance from Sean and had earned my tuition fees by doing part-time jobs to prove that my love for him was pure without any other ulterior motives.

Sean had also given up his life of luxury to live with me in a cramped rental apartment.

That should have been our happiest time when I thought about it now.

Life was free, busy, and full of hope at that time.

I could see the one I loved by my side every morning I woke up.

"Girl, why are you crying? You're alone so late at night. Did you have a fight with your partner?" the driver asked as he kept looking back at me in fear that I would do something stupid.

"It's just that the wind hurts my eyes."

I reached for the pillbox in my bag, only to find it was already empty.

I endured the discomfort for a night and went to the hospital early the next morning.

While waiting in line for the consultation, I saw Sean holding Amanda as they walked out of the gynecology department.

"Did you secretly investigate my whereabouts?" Sean questioned with an unkind tone.

I said after a glance at Amanda's abdomen, "Congratulations. For the sake of your future child, just sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."

Amanda bashfully gave Sean a gentle hit with a flushed face.

"Alas, I told you not to accompany me to the hospital. Look, Shirley has misunderstood. I'm just having period pain. You shouldn't have been so nervous."

"Shirley Dawson, you'd better not go too far."

I couldn't be bothered to argue with him when it was time for my consultation at that moment.

I was just about to leave when Sean grabbed my hand.

"Psychology department? Shirley Dawson, what tricks are you trying to play?"

Amanda covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sean, don't you understand? Shirley is jealous because you care about me too much. If I got it right, Shirley will soon say she suffers from depression."

"You ran away from home and now pretend to be sick. Do you plan to put on a suicide act later?"

Sean snapped as he shook off my hand.

"You have learned your mother's threatening tricks so well."

As expected of the man who had been together with me for ten years.

All the worries I had confided to him when we were deeply in love became knives he used to stab my heart now.
