Chapter 13
“He lost too much blood and is currently being rescued. Before entering the operating room, he kept calling your name. Can you come to the hospital and see him?”
I sighed in my heart and then coldly refused, “No, I’ll wait for him to wake up before calling me.”
“During this time, I will be in Oakland until he wakes up,” I paused. “And also, once he wakes up, you tell him that this is not a way to avoid the problem.”
Charlie seemed to not understand my actions.
“He searched for you for four years, during these more than a thousand days and nights, he had to rely on sleeping pills to get through each day.”
“Didn’t you even come to see him once?”
I chuckled lightly, “Where was he when I was pinned to the ground by a tree trunk in the cemetery?”
“Where was he when I was driven
to cut my Wrist?”
“When I was having an abortion in the hospital, was he there again?”
“Charlie, you had no right to meddle in my decisions.”
When I saw Johnson again, it was at the courthouse entrance half a month låter.
His face was so pale that it was frightening, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but when he saw me, he still managed to force a smile.
Chapter 13
After receiving the divorce certificate, I looked at the melting snow
outside the window and chuckled coldly, “You know, this way is really
stupid.”
“Johnson, you once said, “Take care of your own life.“”
“I still give you this sentence now.”
“Don’t do this stupid thing again.”
After saying that, I walked towards the door.
“Adeline!” Johnson called my name behind me.
I stopped and didn’t look back.
“I’m sorry.”

I still did not turn back, just nodded gently.
Hendry and Michelle were waiting for me outside.
After walking out of the courthouse, I saw a big and a small person squatting on the roadside, counting ants in the glow of the setting sun.
“Dad, why do ants always go out in groups?”
“Because whenever they encountered something delicious, they would call their companions to bring it back home. This, is called sharing and working together, just like when dad earns money, he wants to spend it on mom and Michelle…”
Actually, all I wanted was very simple, but Johnson never understood.
