Valentine's Day, I Cut Off Husband and His Sweetheart

The nearby intern who had stayed with him shouted loudly.

"Why did you kick us, Doctor Winters? The ground over there is sinking! Are you even human?"

Dash, holding the puppy, limped down the mountain without looking back.

"If she comes over here, our side might collapse too."

"Let's go, let's go. She chose to save the dog to keep her job anyway. It's fate, we can't blame others."

I kept falling, with mud and rocks pouring down from above like a flood.

I crashed hard onto a protruding concrete platform below, with the exposed rebar piercing my lower abdomen.

The intern had somehow run down and was now supporting me as we fled.

I heard a huge crash behind us, and that concrete platform was instantly buried under mud and debris.

I felt a wave of fear, realizing that if it weren't for this intern girl, I might have truly lost my life here.

A sharp pain twisted in my belly. Despite pressing hard on my abdominal wound, blood still dripped steadily, leaving a trail behind us.

Just as we reached the bottom of the hill, I saw Dash arguing with the medical staff.

"Why won't you give my darling a stretcher to lie on?"

With numerous casualties, the first-response stretchers were in short supply. Although Meadow had been trapped, she only had some minor scrapes.Not far from me, Meadow and Dash were squeezed onto a single stretcher, while another stretcher sat empty nearby.

Their medical colleagues tried to negotiate the use of that empty stretcher, but Dash shouted abuse in their faces.

"Even if my darling doesn't need it now, she might get tired later and want to rest on it. We're not giving it up!"

He then turned and gently caressed Meadow's visibly pregnant belly.

"Darling, don't be afraid. I won't let anyone bully you!"

"Honey, I heard there was a second collapse upstairs. Are you okay? I was scared to death!"

"Don't think about those unimportant things. Even if people died, it was their fate!"

"Sweetheart, you need to stay in a good mood. Otherwise, if my son comes out with a wrinkled face, what are we going to do?"

Dash held their dog, Pebbles, as the two of them cuddled close together, looking especially cozy.

Meanwhile, I was losing too much blood, waves of fainting spells washing over me, as if I'd fallen into the depths of a harsh winter.

I once had a corgi that had been my companion for many years, but when we first got married, Dash claimed he was allergic to dog hair.

I compromised, saying I'd keep the dog in a separate room and not let it out, but he still wouldn't budge.

He said it was either the dog or him. In the end, I had to painfully give up my dog.Love and indifference were so starkly apparent.

"Someone come help! Doctor Winters is injured!"

The medical staff around finally noticed me. My injuries were severe, and I urgently needed to lie down to slow the bleeding from my abdominal wound.

But the only stretcher left was the empty one meant for Meadow.

"What are you all looking at? That stretcher is for my darling!"

"Besides, look at her covered in blood. It's bad luck! If she lies on the stretcher my darling used, what if she passes her misfortune to my darling? Who's going to be responsible for that?"

Dash made a huge fuss, arrogantly stacking the two stretchers and sitting on them.

"How fussy! If you're so delicate, don't come out here pretending to save people!"

"It just shows your life is worth less than others. I pity whoever married such an unlucky woman! The ground is wide enough, why don't you just lie there!"

In the end, it was a volunteer who couldn't bear to watch anymore. He helped me into the passenger seat of his car, reclining it so I could rest for a bit.

The incident happened so suddenly that all the hospital's ambulances had already been dispatched. Many of the seriously injured patients had been taken away first.

It was a long wait before an ambulance finally returned.
