The Divorcee Amazed the World

For a while.

Willis raised his hand, gently caressing Helena’s pale face, and softly comforted, “Stay calm; divorce is a big decision, don’t act on impulse.”

Helena lowered her eyes, “I am calm. I’ve been contemplating this for the past three days.”

Seeing her determination,

It couldn’t be resolved with just a few words.

A needle-like pain pricked Willis’s heart.

He closed his eyes slightly, suppressing the emotions deep within.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

He calmly said, “I’m going out for a smoke.”

Helena softly acknowledged.

Willis stood up, straightened her collar, pulled the blanket to cover her, tucked in the corners carefully, and then walked out.

Opening the door of the ward, he ran into Zena.

Zena was carrying a thermos, greeting him, “Willis, where are you going?”

Willis’s handsome face was gloomy, and he didn’t respond, walking straight out.

Zena was puzzled.

Entering the ward, she placed the thermos on the bedside table.

Bending down, she sat and asked in confusion, “Girl, what’s wrong with Willis? Why does he look so bad? Did you two have a fight?”

Helena shook her head, “I told him about the divorce.”

Zena was shocked, “Aren’t you two doing well recently? Why do you want a divorce?”

Helena looked down, staring at her left hand.

Those fair and slender fingers, even after using the best scar removal ointment, still retained scars.

Even if the bones had healed, the flexibility was not as good as before.

She said slowly, “The first time, they severed my left hand, which I considered as my life. The second time, they almost took away my most precious innocence. The third time, using my master’s hand, they poisoned me with saffron, intending to get rid of my most important child. The fourth time, a sudden car accident took away my flesh and blood, also costing Tim his life.”

Zena’s face turned pale with anger.

But at this time, pouring oil on the fire wouldn’t help.

She advised, “Willis avenged you for the previous incidents. This time, he will definitely seek revenge for you.”

Helena forced a bitter smile, “What’s the use of revenge?”

She raised her left hand to touch her slightly painful abdomen, “My hand will never fully recover, the innocent child in my womb has turned into a pool of blood, and Tim will never come back to life.”

What fault did the innocent child in her womb have?

That dark-skinned, honest young man who smiled, revealing a set of white teeth.

What fault did he have?

Because of jealousy and competition between women, he lost his life.

His child was about to be born, but now he had no father.

Thinking of the bloody scene where he tried to save her,

Helena’s heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.

Tears flowed endlessly.

If Willis had suggested divorce at the beginning.

If she had left without turning back, perhaps none of these tragedies would have happened.

Zena quickly wiped her tears, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re in the postpartum period now; crying will harm your eyes.”

Helena looked at her with a worried expression, “This marriage, if continued, will lead to a fifth time. The fifth time will be my mother’s turn; they always target my most vulnerable spots. I really didn’t expect that jealousy and competition between women could be so terrifying. I used to only see it on TV, but now it’s happening to me for real.”

Zena was stunned.

For quite a while.

She smiled nonchalantly, “Don’t worry about me. I’m an old woman; I’ll die one day. I just feel that Willis is really good to you. It’s a pity to divorce like this.”

Helena felt too complicated to express in words.

She was sad about the divorce.

Even now, she still loves him deeply.

She also knew that the fault wasn’t his.

But with so many bodyguards, it was still not enough to prevent two lives from being lost.

She used to think that love was more important than anything else.

Just a few months ago, when Willis suggested divorce, she felt like the sky was falling.

But now, in the face of human lives, love seems trivial.

Helena firmly said, “I’ve decided, let’s get a divorce.”

Zena’s eyes turned red.

She hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, your grandmother could have lived a few more months. She secretly turned off the equipment on her body. Your marriage cost her life.”

A sharp pain stabbed Helena’s heart.

She bit her lip, suppressing the pain inside.

After a long time.

She said, “I had guessed it earlier, so I worked hard to maintain the marriage with Willis. I always thought it was irrational to get pregnant now, but in order to maintain this marriage, I still got pregnant. Now that the child is gone, there is no need to continue this marriage. The child is not the main reason for the divorce, but it’s the last straw that broke the camel’s back.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“But…”

“Mom, please don’t persuade me.”

“I just feel that divorcing like this is a pity. Although Willis has a lot of flaws, I can see that he genuinely cares about you.”

Helena said softly, “He is good, but I’m tired of this kind of life now. I’ve been learning to restore ancient books and paintings with my grandfather since I was a child, for almost twenty years. I acquired these skills not to engage in jealousy and intrigue among women. I want to use my time for something meaningful.”

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her, Zena sighed heavily.

Her daughter, although gentle in personality, had quite a strong backbone.

Once she made up her mind, no one could pull her back.

For some reason, Zena suddenly felt a little sorry for Willis.

She stood up, walked to the window, opened the curtain, and looked down.

In the night, Willis was standing downstairs, smoking.

The cigarette hung in his mouth, and he even forgot to light it.

After a long time, he remembered and reached into his pocket, took out the lighter, opened it, tried to light it, and the wind blew it out.

One after another, he lit it three times before it stayed lit.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and looked into the distance.

The night was so dark tonight, as if ink, and the lights of thousands of households couldn’t illuminate it.

Clearly in early summer, it was as cold as winter.
