Chapter 380 End Things Now
Even if David loved her now, accepted her, understood her, and was willing to be with her, could he love her and care for her like this forever?
As time went by, watching their friends have children, would he feel like something was missing in his life? When the love faded, would he still stand by her side?
Rather than face that unbearable future, Sarah would rather end things now.
She closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. "David, I'm not asking for your opinion. I've decided to divorce you. I won't go back to that house anymore. You should leave. My mom will take care of me. I need to sleep now."
David stared at her back, feeling both pain and despair. Before coming to the hospital, he had a huge argument with his parents at the Franklin Mansion.
Just as Sarah had predicted, his parents pressured him to leave her. He had made a firm statement, refusing to compromise.
But now, Sarah was saying the same thing.
David felt utterly alone. He walked out with heavy steps.
Wren followed him out, closing the door behind her.
"David."
She called softly.
David turned around immediately at the sound of Wren's voice, his eyes filled with hope. He thought that Wren surely wouldn't want Sarah to suffer and would definitely not agree to the divorce.
He asked hopefully, "Mom, you don't agree with Sarah divorcing me, right?"
Wren couldn't bear to look at the light in his eyes. She turned her head slightly and said gently, "David, since Sarah wants the divorce, we shouldn't go against her wishes. Find a time to go to City Hall and get the paperwork done."
David staggered, feeling the last glimmer of hope extinguish. He protested, "Mom, why are you agreeing to the divorce? Haven't I been good to her?"
Wren looked at him sincerely. "David, you've been better to us than Sarah has. Her father and I can see that your feelings for her are genuine."
"But, David, a relationship needs more than just love. There are many things to consider. Sarah is my daughter, and she's hurt now. I want to take care of her. I hope you understand."
David continued to plead, "It's okay, Mom. She can stay with you to recover. I can visit her often. There's no need for a divorce!"
Wren shook her head. "You know Sarah's personality. She doesn't want things to get too tense between you and your parents. She doesn't want to feel like she owes your family because she can't have children."
"David, if you understand her feelings, agree to the divorce. We'll take care of her. You can find another good girl, start a new family, and have children to fulfill your parents' wishes..."
Wren couldn't continue. She shook her head gently, wiped away a tear, and went back to the hospital room.
David stood in the hallway, staring blankly at her disappearing figure.
He slowly turned around and walked towards the elevator, feeling like a lost soul, devoid of life.
At another hospital, outside the emergency room, Margaret sat on a bench holding a bag of medicine.
She had a large scarf wrapped around her head, covering her mouth, nose, and forehead. She took out her phone, glanced around, and dialed a number.
"Samuel, I miss you so much!" she cried into the phone.
Her half-brother Samuel answered, "Margaret, what's wrong? Who's messing with you? In Aurora Bay, besides Michael, who else would dare?"
Margaret sobbed, "It's him!"
Samuel's voice was filled with frustration. "How many times have I and our parents told you to come back and stop liking him? Why are you so obsessed with him? Is it because you can't have him?"
Margaret felt wronged. "I'm really giving up now. Samuel, you were right. He's too scary!"
Samuel suddenly became tense. "Did he hit you?"
Margaret didn't respond.
Samuel was furious. "That bastard Michael! He dared to lay a hand on you?"
Margaret whispered, "Samuel, stop."
Samuel couldn't hold back. "Margaret, I've warned you before. Michael even killed his own father! How can you expect him to change for you? Don't be foolish! His nature can't be changed!"
Margaret wiped her tears. "Samuel, I've made up my mind. I'm giving up on him. He'll never see my feelings. Besides, he has a son now."
Samuel comforted her. "It's okay. You still have me and our parents. I'll buy the earliest ticket and come back to see you."
Hearing this, Margaret's usual strong demeanor vanished, and she became like a little girl, pouting and speaking softly. "Samuel, hurry. I'm so lonely here."
Samuel replied, "Okay, wait for me."
In the maternity ward, Elizabeth called Sarah.
When the call connected, Elizabeth immediately asked, "Sarah, how are you?"
Wren's gentle voice came through. "Elizabeth, Sarah is asleep."
Elizabeth lowered her voice. "Mrs. Martinez, are you with Sarah in the hospital? How is she? Is she okay? It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Sarah wouldn't be hurt."
Wren comforted her. "Elizabeth, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault; it's the bad people. They should be punished. God won't forgive them."
She continued, "Don't worry, Sarah is fine. I heard you just had a baby and are still weak. You should rest. Sarah will be discharged soon. I'll take her home to care for her. You're welcome to visit. Sarah will be happy to see you."
Elizabeth readily agreed. "Okay, Mrs. Martinez, I'll definitely come!"
Wren sounded tired. "Elizabeth, you should rest too. Don't stay up late after just having a baby."
Although Wren couldn't see, Elizabeth nodded. "Okay, Mrs. Martinez, you rest too."
At the door of an apartment.
A man wearing sunglasses stood at the door, checking the number and looking around before knocking lightly.
The door opened from the inside. A pair of women's hands reached out and pulled the man inside.
