Beside him, Catherine patted his chest to calm him down,\u00a0<\/p>\n
occasionally glancing at Henrietta. \u201cExactly. Ever since certain\u00a0<\/p>\n
people entered the family, the Simpson family has had one\u00a0<\/p>\n
misfortune after another. Giving up a kidney won\u2019t kill her. She\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
just watching someone die without helping. How can she be so\u00a0<\/p>\n
inconsiderate?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what the Simpson family said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta just didn\u2019t speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at Bradley. He must be in a tough spot, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On one side was his father, and on the other was her, his wife\u00a0<\/p>\n
with whom he had no feelings but had to maintain\u00a0<\/p>\n
appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBradley, come out. I need to talk to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley looked up at Henrietta. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them walked out of the hospital room, one after the\u00a0<\/p>\n
other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They found a quiet place and sat down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renewal\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley, we need to talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was serious this time. There were things she\u2019d been thinking about for days. \u201cHonestly, your dad\u2019s illness isn\u2019t serious enough to need a kidney transplant. The only reason\u00a0<\/p>\n
sisting is because he thinks I\u2019m the one who jinxed him, e something from me to make it\u00a0<\/p>\n
feels like he\u00a0<\/p>\n
ut\u2026 I\u2019m no\u00a0<\/p>\n
struggling\u00a0<\/p>\n
up wit\u00a0<\/p>\n
hea\u00a0<\/p>\n
ad a kidney. I know you\u2019ve been w days, wondering if you should bring it . I don\u2019t want to think you\u2019re sick in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
ried into your fa\u00a0<\/p>\n
e fought, we\u2019ve\u00a0<\/p>\n
mpsons have never\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve held on for so\u00a0<\/p>\n
arate?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
the past few days actually\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 344\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSeparate means divorce. It means ending what we have now\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t one to drag things out. \u201cI don\u2019t want any money from the Simpson family anymore. You guys can treat his\u00a0<\/p>\n
illness, or treat your own crazy heads. I don\u2019t want to be\u00a0<\/p>\n
involved anymore. I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta felt wronged, her voice choking, \u201c\u2026I\u2019m a person too. I\u2019m made of flesh and blood. I can\u2019t keep draining myself\u00a0<\/p>\n
emotionally in your house. Really. I can\u2019t stand a husband who\u00a0<\/p>\n
won\u2019t stand up for me, I can\u2019t stand overbearing in\u2013laws. There\u00a0<\/p>\n
are too many things I can\u2019t stand. I\u2026 Let\u2019s get a divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tomorrow. We\u2019ll go to the Registry Office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta had held out hope for Bradley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On their wedding night, he had been on her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she was wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When it came to his family\u2019s mortality, he stood by them\u00a0<\/p>\n
unconditionally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He started to resent her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To make demands of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 344\u00a0<\/p>\n
He ignored her, treated her with indifference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renewal\u00a0<\/p>\n
what was the point of her staying with the Simpson family?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe Bradley had his own difficulties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to understand, but she couldn\u2019t. She was all alone in\u00a0<\/p>\n
this family, and she was miserable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was only one voice in her head: leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For her own health, for her own sanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHenrietta.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley\u2019s quiet voice sounded. \u201cI\u2019ve neglected you lately, I\u2019m\u00a0<\/p>\n
sorry. But I don\u2019t want a divorce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s really no reason for our marriage to continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley looked at her, helplessness in his eyes. \u201cI never agreed\u00a0<\/p>\n
to my dad\u2019s demand to give him your kidney. I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I supposed to wait for you to say it, Bradley?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 344\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, even if you did say it, does that mean I have to give it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Renewal Surprise\u00a0<\/p>\n
im?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I would only end up hating you too. So just don\u2019t say it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta felt she had said enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the anxiety, nervousness, hopes, and fantasies from before\u00a0<\/p>\n
the wedding were gone now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A failed marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d learned her lesson, at least.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley didn\u2019t speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know how serious he was about not wanting a\u00a0<\/p>\n
divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever, it didn\u2019t matter anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be best if we have an uncontested divorce. It\u2019ll be a lot\u00a0<\/p>\n
less trouble. If this goes to court, I\u2019ll be coming after your\u00a0<\/p>\n
assets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta took a deep breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was like a final summary of her marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 344\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t going to mention the pregnancy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ging them would only slow down her departure, and it wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
like the Simpson family would be thrilled about this new little\u00a0<\/p>\n
life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to head back now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley stood up. \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going back to my parents\u2018 place for now. Let\u2019s meet at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
Registry Office tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley looked pained. \u201cHenrietta, we can\u2019t be so rash about\u00a0<\/p>\n
this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rash or sensible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t matter anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What\u2019s important is that she has to leave the Simpson family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henrietta looked back at Bradley, a bitter smile touching her lips. \u201cBradley, since it\u2019s come to this, let me tell you what I really\u00a0<\/p>\n
think,\u00a0<\/p>\n
