AT the strength seemed to have been drained from my body, whether from the illness or them, | couldn't tell.
My feet felt as though they were weighed down by lead. | desperately turned around.
Before | could leave, a sweet voice from behind suddenly grew louder.
"Juliana!"
My body trembled, and it was too late to avoid it.
Turning around, | met Amelia's eyes, which particularly lit up with excitement.
Her goal was about to be achieved, so she should be happy.
Stanley, who didn't expectto be there, seemed visibly flustered, trying to hide something.
But Amelia gently tugged at his sleeve.
He had no choice but to walk up towith a stiff face.
"Juliana, you must have heard what I said. Amelia is pregnant. I'm sorry. We were both drunk that day. I'll give
you more money during the property division, and | can't be irresponsible to her."

His gaze darted around Meanwhile, Amelia, with her hand on her belly, flaunted it towith a look of
arrogance.
"Juliana, it was wrong ofto do this, but there's nothing wrong with loving someone. Besides, you never gave
Stanley a son or daughter over all these years. Should he be childless because of that? You should understand
us, right?"
Her tone made it seem like | was the mistress.
If this had been before, | would have slapped her across the face for her provocation.
But now, | could only stand there dumbfounded, like an animal in a z00, utterly lost.
The person who used to supportwas no longer here, so my arrogance had gone. Yet my eyes, betraying me,
still turned toward Stanley.
Perhaps, even at that moment, there was still hope in my heart.
Even if, just if, he would speak up for me?
| thought, If so, | would forgive you, Stanley. I'm dying, so please have spity on me.
Don't be so cruel to me.
Perhaps my gaze was too intense, and Stanley, unable to avoid it, coughed awkwardly.
"Juliana, Amelia is still young and sometimes her words sound harsh, but she's right. Over the years, I've
supported you, providing for you without you having to work. I've fulfilled my responsibility."
That was his answer.
That was his response to our years of marriage.
Amelia almost couldn't control her laughter.
A sudden commotion filled my ears, and the world aroundbecincreasingly blurry.

At first, he thought | was just pretending to be ill again, but when he saw the veins bulging on my forehead, he
realized | was truly in pain.
Ignoring everything else, he rushed to my side, supportingwith a worried expression.
"Juliana! Don't scare me! What's wrong with you?"
His voice grew louder, but my consciousness becincreasingly fuzzy.
Stanley, why do you have to provoke me? | wondered.
If I turned into a fool, who would take care of you then?
You idiot.
Idiot?
Exactly, | am an idiot...
| suddenly looked up, confused, at the unfamiliar man in front of me, and hesitated before speaking.
"Who... Who are you?"
In his astonished, pained, and confused gaze...
All my strength wore out, and | finally lost consciousness.
