Chapter 14 — Contact Person Number One

Thuong Du Bach closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with obvious fatigue.

“During that time, I was abroad every day.”

“When you get sick, get re-examination, adjust the regimen, it's all because Vi An is by your side.”

“On our wedding anniversary, I promised to come back, but in the end I didn't even eat a meal with you.”

“Please call me, I'm always in a meeting.”

“Send a message, it will take a few hours to respond.”

“I just want to know if you still care or not.”

I nodded slightly.

“So you deliberately erased my name.”

"I never thought things would get this far."

“What do you think it will be like?” I looked at him. "Thinking that if I found out, I would be jealous, would compete with Diep Vi An, and would proactively reduce my work to come home to be with you?"

He was silent. Silence answered for him. There was still sharp pain in my right shoulder, but my heart suddenly felt strangely quiet. There are things that, when truly broken, make no sound at all.

“Thuong Du Bach, you know why I care.”

“It's not that I don't understand.”

“I just feel that, as long as I still love you, you can take what I cherish most to test me.”

His face turned a little pale.

“I just want you to see me.”

“I saw it.” I spoke softly. "I see that because you want to prove yourself important, you deliberately dragged another woman into our marriage."

“Seeing you clearly knew I would be heartbroken, but still waiting for me to be the one to bow first.”

“I also saw that in the past thirty days, every time you only cared about whether I could continue to maintain face for you or not.”

Thuong Du Bach reached out to touch me. I dodge. His hand stopped in mid-air.

“Gia Duong.”

“This is not adultery.”

“Yes.” I smiled. “It's more troublesome than adultery.”

“Adultery can at least prove that you were temporarily confused.”

“But you're very alert.”

"You calmly know my limits, calmly push Diep Vi An to the first position, calmly wait to see me lose control because of you."

“It's not that you don't love me.”

“It's just that I love the feeling of confirmation that I can't live without you anymore.”

Thuong Du Bach's face gradually darkened.

“You want to divorce me because of this?”

I did not answer. The door to the hospital room was knocked. Dung Tinh Lam pushed the door and walked in.

“The doctor wants to do the next check-up.”

Thuong Du Bach stood up, his eyes still locked on me.

“Gia Duong, let's go back and talk more.”

I closed my eyes.

"There's no 'back' anymore."

His movements stopped.

“What do you mean?”

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

“Meaning, the observation period is over.”

“I have seen the results.”

Thuong Du Bach stood next to the hospital bed, saying nothing for a long time. Finally, he took his coat, turned and left. The door closed, Dung Tinh Lam sat down next to the bed. She didn't ask what we said. Just cover the corner of the blanket for me. A moment later, she suddenly spoke.

“When you wake up, who is the first person you want to meet?”

I was stunned. Images of the plane crashing came flooding back: The shrill siren, the broken glass on the cabin wall, and the intense pain when my right shoulder hit it hard. At that moment, what I thought was that the captain could Whether the aircraft is balanced or not, is there any injury to the crew, has the project data been backed up? After waking up, the first question I asked was also about the plane and the flight crew. From the moment I lost weight until I woke up, not once did I think of Thuong Du Bach. I pondered for a long time. Dung Tinh Lam also did not urge him. Finally, I picked up the phone on the nightstand and called the lawyer.

“Help me prepare a divorce agreement.”

The other end of the line confirms again.
