When Love Disappears in A Flash!
Chapter 4
The kids laughed at me and said I was trash.
After going to school, I became the target of bullies because of my introverted and lonely nature.
They knew that no one would help me.
Once, the bullies forced me into a corner.
They found some thugs and wanted to kill me.
When I was in despair, Charles saved me like a hero.
After graduating from high school, I went out to work and was bullied by customers.
As if fate had struck me, Charles appeared again and helped me out.
The young boy in the past had grown into a handsome young man.
After he saved my life twice, I fell in love with him.
I approached him carefully and warmed him.
And my hard work payed off.
Then, we got married.
I thought I would be happy for the rest of my life.
But fate always made fun of me.
Just three months after Charles and I got married, Amanda suffered a stroke and became bedridden.
My nightmare began.
In the beginning, Charles was worried that Amand couldn't get used to being taken care of by outsiders.
Later, Amanda couldn't live without my care, and it was costly to hire a caregiver who was often careless.
For more than three years, I basically hadn't slept well.
Whenever I felt tired, I always told myself that everything would be alright soon.
The hard work I did was for a better future for our little family.
But not all good intentions were appreciated.
I looked at the receding poplars outside the window.
The sun was so bright and warm, but my heart was cold. Margaret, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the makeup mirror and carefully drew her eyebrows.
When Charles and I got married, he hadn't bought a car yet.
We were on a crowded bus, and he put his arms around me, helping me to block the crowd around us.
"When we have money in the future, we will buy a car first. Then you won't have to suffer from this anymore, Arlene!"
Now, we were rich and had a car, but I was not sitting in the passenger seat.
The crowded bus at that time stopped at the door of happiness.
But now, the spacious private car was heading towards our separation.
"Charles, goodbye! Goodbye, the boy who once warmed my heart!" I thought.
It didn't take a long time to complete the procedure.
I heard before that when couples were getting divorced, the staff here would try to mediate their disputes.
But when it was my turn, the staff didn't say a word, probably because they saw Charles and Margaret holding hands tightly.
After leaving the office, Charles hugged Margaret and drove away without looking back.
I took a deep breath, feeling empty inside.
I had no family or friends in this city.
In this world, I was always alone.
At night, I lay on the bed in a small hotel, feeling relaxed.
Amanda called.
"Where the hell have you been? You're such a bitch! Why are you not coming home so late?! Didn't your mother teach you what the manners are?!"
She was still cursing on the other end of the phone.
I suddenly raised my voice to interrupt her chatter.
