It felt as if an invisible hand was choking my throat.
The room fell into silence as he took off his drenched coat and walked to the door.
When he returned, he had a lighter in his hand, but in the end, he didn't light a cigarette.
Instead, he sat for a while, staring at me for a moment.
I looked straight back at him.
"Emma, you know I love her."
For a second, I could hardly breathe.
Despite being prepared, it still hurt.
He just waved his hand, and a document was brought in, placed on the table.
"Before your amnesia, our relationship was already beyond repair, we were discussing divorce. Sign here, and I'll give you a substantial sum, enough to last you a lifetime."
"Is it true? What you're saying, is it true?" I questioned, but he didn't answer right away, just sat there quietly.
"Alright, I believe you wouldn't deceive me, I'll sign."
I walked over, uncapped the pen, and signed my name.
I handed the pen back to him.
"Signed."
Half a year later, I returned to the North City once again.
In the small town I lived, there were no better medications to control the tumor's progression.
After collecting my medicine, I planned to leave but ran into a college classmate, Frank, by chance.
"Emma, is that really you? You've lost so much weight."
I wanted to deny it, but it was too late to escape.
"Yes, it's me. What are you doing here?"
"Just passing by. Where are you headed? If you're free, would you like to come to the event I'm organizing?"
"It'll be a small gathering, just come and make up the numbers, okay?"
I intended to decline, but he was already excitedly grabbing my arm.
Frank actually came from a very prominent family.
However, he had a slight limp from childhood, which kept him from fitting into upper classes.
Despite being a wealthy young master, he was often alone.
In the end, I nodded.
I didn't expect that Frank's event was to organize games for children with prizes.
I helped distribute the prizes on the side.
A cup of milk tea was handed over: "Tired? Have something to drink."
"Thank you." I took the milk tea.
Frank pulled me aside, away from the crowd, and handed over the work to other staff.
By the roadside, he took a sip of coffee and looked at me.
"Emma, where have you been? You haven't shown up at any banquets for a long time."
His face was very pale, but his gaze on me was very focused.
I found it hard to deal with.
Turning my head, I didn't expect that my divorce from Johnson hadn't been made public yet.
Half a year ago, I took the divorce certificate and left overnight, also changing my phone number, without paying attention to any news from the City.
I thought about it: "I went on vacation."
I didn't want to mention the divorce now, so as not to shock everyone.
Just then, a screeching sound of brakes came from behind.
I turned around.
He was walking towards the building with a beautiful girl followed closely.
The man glanced at me.
To my surprise, Frank suddenly rushed up, grabbing Johnson.
"Johnson, you jerk, how can you bring another woman? What about Emma?"
"Frank, let him go."
I almost immediately rushed over.
Frank had already been shaken off by Johnson, who often worked out, Frank was no match for him.
Almost at the same time, Miah had already stood by Johnson's side.
