When Love Turns Cold: A Journey Through Divorce

On the birthday of my boyfriend, Max Wood, I was drugged and passed out.

When I woke up, I found that I was blind and could no longer see the world.

Max hugged me and apologized to me, saying that he was sorry for not protecting me and that he would treat me well.

But he couldn't hear the voice of the system in my mind. The system said, "Master, I've sent the video of last night to you. Do you want to watch it now?"

"The patient in bed five is in stable condition. Be careful not to irritate her." I heard the conversation happening at the door and smelt a strong smell of disinfectant.

I frowned and opened my eyes, but all I saw was darkness. I rubbed my eyes but still couldn't see anything.

"What's going on?"

I remembered that I had just attended a fashion show and rushed to Max's birthday party. "Then, what happened?" I tried to recall it, but my head hurt.

The person outside the door noticed I was awake and walked towards me quickly. I subconsciously shrank back. The person seemed distressed.

"Winnie, you finally woke up. I'm sorry."

I was hugged and smelt Max's unique perfume.

"It's all my fault that I failed to protect you." Max choked out, and his palm was rubbing my back.

My blind eyes made my other senses become more sensitive. I was nervous and intuitively felt that Max let me be in danger.

"Why am I bind?" I twisted my body slightly to distance myself from Max. Being imprisoned made me uncomfortable.

Noticing my movement, Max was sad. He trembled. "You had a car accident on the way to attending my birthday party..."

I got an electric shock on my face. Max was touching my face. "It's my fault. I'm sorry for not keeping you safe."

"Don't be afraid. I will face it with you no matter what. We will get married soon."

Max was afraid that I would go back on my word, so he announced our marriage to the reporters in the morning.

But at this moment, my health was obviously the most important.

I sneered, but I asked him with sobs, "Max, what did the doctor said about my eyes?"

"The doctor said that the car accident caused blood clots in both eyes, and you may not be restored." Max kissed my forehead, and his tone was extremely gentle and compassionate.

"I'll get through this with you, and we'll get married after you are discharged from the hospital."

I couldn't see his face, but I could imagine his affectionate eyes.

"Ding!"

The system said, "Master, I've sent the video of last night to you. I also discovered that you recently underwent an abnormal surgical operation."

I freed myself from Max's arms and waved my hand to motion for him to leave. "Let me be alone for a while."

Max fixed the hair on my forehead and gave me a gentle kiss.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need my help."

The nurse who came in happened to see this scene. After changing the medicinal liquid, she sighed, "Mr. Wood is gentle and considerate."

"Is he considerate?"

I began to recall the things after the fashion show. Last night, I was driving on an overpass. It was raining heavily. The owner of a car on the opposite side switched on the high beams. Then, everything I saw was white, and both I and the car overturned quickly.

Afterward, someone called an ambulance, and I was sent to the nearest hospital, which was the Wood family's hospital. At the same time, Yana Combs, who was Max's lover and suffering from renal failure, was in surgery.

I lifted up my clothes and saw a thin scar on my lower abdomen. It was obvious that the doctor had a good skill.

I sneered. "Max, you've gone too far."

"Master, your points are 590. You can choose to use 500 points to restore your eyesight. Do you want to restore them?"

I shook my head. "It isn't the right time to regain my sight.

"But my kidney..." I gently touched the scar, and my mind became clear.

The system said, "Master, the points required for organ recovery are high. You don't have enough points. Please continue to work hard."

Yes, I wasn't from this world. By chance, I entered a novel's world. The novel was "A Paranoid President's Love: Sweet, Don't Run Away".

I knew this novel because I was madly criticizing it when I entered its world.

In the novel, Winnie Jones, the heroine, was delicate. Max Wood, the hero, who was Winnie's boyfriend and a president, put out Winnie's eyes and kidney for Yana Combs, his lover. Winnie was tortured to the point of dying, so she fled abroad. Only then did Max realize that he loved Winnie.

Thus, Max began the long journey of pursuing Winnie. He cried and confessed several times, and he also took strong measures. It could be said that Max used all means.

Because Winnie lost a kidney, Max took good care of her every day and never let her do housework. Winnie said, "He seems to be afraid that I'll die."

They also had three kids! The second half of the novel was about the happiness of their life. Every word seemed to be mocking the readers. They were a match. You were not ineligible to disagree.

I had been typing to criticize the novel. I even cursed at it when I was sleeping. "She's mad."

However, when I opened my eyes again, I became Winnie.

I heard an electronic voice in my mind. "Dear Master, I detected that you have great resentment towards the main plot of this world, so I chose you to damage the plot.

"This system is called 'The Soberness of a Wife'."

Once I woke up, I got all the memories and characters. When Max and I were young, our engagement was decided. But I grew up abroad, so I didn't know Max well.

Our two families were old friends. Gavin Wood, Max's Dad, passed away many years ago, and Ada Wood, Max's mom, took over the company. It was only in recent years that she gradually transferred power to Max.

The relationship between Gavin and Ada wasn't good for some time before Gavin's death. Besides, Ada was opposed to Max's arranged marriage to me. However, Max and I met frequently and finally fell in love.

I was a famous designer overseas. So, after returning to the country, I founded a brand.

My first meeting with Max was extremely awkward. A receptionist gave me the wrong room card, and then I walked into Max's room. He was drunk and thought I was an unfamous designer who wanted to be famous by selling my body.

After having sex with me, he humiliated me.

I was angry when I saw this plot in the original text, but I didn't expect that Max would do more outrageous things later.

Max had no interest in me at first, but one day, he suddenly changed his attitude and began to pursue me romantically and tenderly.

In the original text, Winnie thought that Max was in love with her. But actually, Yana Combs had renal failure and urgently needed a kidney transplant. Winnie happened to have a check-up in the Wood family's hospital, and it was found that her kidney was a perfect match.

So, Max and Yana planned to take action on that rainy night.

Since the system was called "The Soberness of a Wife", I would pretend to be delicate before getting revenge. "Max Wood did evil things. Yana Combs instigated Max. Ada Wood knew that Max was committing a crime but tried to cover it up with her power. I'll never let the three persons off."

During the time I was in the hospital, Max stayed with me after work every day. He sat by my bed and peeled apples for me. He also considerately wiped the residue from the corners of my mouth.

I guessed there must be reporters outside the window who got Max's permission and that the hot news must be "Max Wood never leaves his fiancee and takes good care of her". Then, he would win popularity and reputation.

"Winnie, you'll leave the hospital tomorrow."

Max carefully fed the peeled grapes to me, which tasted a little sour.

"Live in my home first. I'm worried about you."

I dropped my glance. "Okay."

In fact, he wanted to monitor and control me.

"By the way, there might be reporters stopping us for interviews tomorrow. Your condition..."

Max hesitated to speak, and I immediately understood his meaning. I pursed my lips and shook my head. "It's okay. I'll explain it to the reporters."

Max hugged me. "I'll try to cure your eyes."

The next day, I was in a wheelchair, and Max helped me downstairs. It was getting more crowded and noisier.

"Ms. Jones, how are you now?"

Max stood in front of me and said, "She is still recovering. Please don't disturb her!"

I sneered. "Without your permission, nobody can enter here. Aren't you tired of putting on a show all the day?"

I coughed. I deliberately didn't drink water today, so my lips were dry and peeling. From my performance, people could see how haggard I was. I patted Max's back. "Never mind."

"Everybody, thank you for your concern. I do have some health problems and need to recuperate."

I stretched out my tone and spoke this simple sentence in a halting manner, sounding fragile and pitiful.

A reporter rushed to me and handed me the microphone. "I heard that you lost your sight due to a car accident. Do you have any intention of getting a cornea transplant?"
