Chapter 5 — Love at 19 Years Old

Until now, he just thought she was causing trouble. To Diem felt cold in her heart. She sat up straight, looked at the front of the car, and after a while softly said: "Luc Vu Mac, I'm telling the truth! I don't want to live with you anymore." Luc Vu Mac immediately turned his head to look at her. He was very handsome, with sharp facial features. To Diem used to be fascinated by this face, but now she no longer feels anything, completely gone. Luc Vu Mac stared at her with dark eyes, one hand unlocked the seat belt: "Get off the car!" A small sound rang out, he unlocked the car door. To Diem immediately got out of the car and walked straight towards the main door of the villa... Under the dim light, her back was straight, like her determination to divorce. Luc Vu Mac took out a cigarette, then got out of the car and followed her upstairs. They argued unhappily. That night, To Diem slept in the living room, Luc Vu Mac was also a little upset, not wanting to comfort her... He changed into pajamas and lay down, but when he touched the empty space next to him, he felt a bit unfamiliar. Before, no matter how cold he was, To Diem still liked to hug him to sleep from behind... Early in the morning, sunlight shone into the bedroom. Luc Vu Mac felt dazzled, raised his hand to cover it, then woke up. Downstairs, a small sound rang out. He heard that it was the maid setting the table. Normally, these tasks were done by To Diem and the maid, and his breakfast was also prepared by her. Luc Vu Mac's mood was a little better, he got out of bed and walked into the dressing room to change clothes. Immediately after that, his eyes stopped— To Diem's suitcase disappeared. Luc Vu Mac opened the wardrobe, sure enough, she brought a few clothes she usually wears. He watched quietly for a few seconds, then closed her wardrobe, as usual, chose a suit, quickly cleaned himself, put on his watch and went downstairs. Seeing the maid, he casually asked: "Where is the mistress?" The maid carefully replied: "The landlady picked up her suitcase early in the morning and didn't even call the driver." "What an appearance!" Luc Vu Mac didn't pay attention, he sat down at the breakfast table, which was black coffee and whole wheat bread as he liked. His eyes were again attracted by the news in the newspaper. The news was overwhelming, it was all scandals between him and Bach Tieu Tieu, each headline was sensational, attracting viewers. Luc Vu Mac looked for a long time, softly asked the maid next to him: "Before leaving, did the mistress read the newspaper?" The maid answered honestly: "The lady didn't eat breakfast and left!" Luc Vu Mac looked up at her, then picked up the phone to call secretary Tan: "Those articles, deal with them!" The other end of the line said a few words, preparing to hang up. Luc Vu Mac's long fingers loosened his tie, his voice cold: "Also, look up where To Diem sold his wedding ring. Before four o'clock this afternoon, I want it." Secretary Tan was stunned for a moment. Finally, she softly said: "No way! Mrs. Luc loves you so much, how can she sell wedding rings?" Luc Vu Mac's answer was to hang up. The phone was thrown on the dining table. Looking at the news, he no longer had any appetite. … To Diem returned to his mother's house, Tham Thanh had just finished cooking a pot of soup, preparing to take it to the hospital. Seeing To Diem, Tham Thanh could not keep calm. She pointed at the suitcase and said in a bad voice: "No husband and wife don't quarrel. It's normal for men to be promiscuous from time to time. That girl, Bach Tieu Tieu, looks so ugly and has a bad leg... I've already investigated, she's even divorced, a person like that doesn't affect your position at all." "What position do you have at Luc Vu Mac's house?" To Diem smiled self-deprecatingly, pouring pigeon soup into the thermos: "I'll do it in a moment." go to the hospital to visit dad.” Tham Thanh stared at her. Finally, Tham Thanh threw the towel and wiped his hands, angrily: "If your father knew you wanted a divorce, he would probably be angry! To Diem... we

Just take a step back and say, even if I really can't live with him, can I continue living after a divorce? The To family is like this now, what can you use to support it?" To Diem slowly screwed the lid of the thermos bottle. After twisting, she bowed her head and said softly: "There's always a way!" The money from selling the wedding ring is enough to cover my father's medical expenses for half a year, and the money to hire a lawyer for my brother... I plan to sell this house, and I will also go out and work to earn money to support the family." After speaking, To Diem's eyes were wet. This house was left to her by her mother. Before, no matter how difficult it was, she never touched it. Tham Thanh was stunned. She did not advise any more, but in her heart she always disagreed. To Diem finished making arrangements and went with her to the hospital. After a period of treatment, To Dai Hung's condition has stabilized, but his mood is a bit depressed, still worried about the future of his eldest son To Thoi Yen. To Diem does not mention divorce for the time being. In the afternoon, the attending physician came to check the room. Ha Ky Duong, a doctor of medicine, was an expert in neurosurgery at a young age. He is 1m85 tall and has a gentle and warm temperament like a spring breeze. After checking, he looked at To Diem: "Let's go outside and talk." To Diem was surprised. Immediately after that, she put down the things and softly said to her father: "Dad, I'm going out for a moment." A moment later, they reached a quiet hallway. Seeing her worry, Ha Ky Duong smiled reassuringly. Then, he bowed his head and reviewed the medical records: "Last night, I discussed with several department heads and all agreed to recommend that Mr. To receive customized rehabilitation treatment. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fully recover... It's just that the cost is quite high, about 150 thousand per month." 150 thousand, for To Diem right now, is a huge number. But she did not hesitate, opening her mouth: "We accept treatment." Ha Ky Duong closed the medical file and looked at her silently. Actually, they had known each other before, but To Diem had forgotten. When To Diem was young, he lived next to her house. He remembers that every summer afternoon, the balcony outside To Diem's room would light up with small lights. To Diem always sat there, missing her mother. She asked him: "Mr. Ky Duong, will my mother come back?" Ha Ky Duong didn't know, he also had no way to answer, like when he looked at her now, thinking about three years ago when he returned home and saw the news that she was getting married, he thought she would be happy if she married the person she loved, but he didn't expect her life to be bad. Luc Vu Mac was cold to her and strict with her. Ha Ky Duong was about to open his mouth when he heard a cold voice: "To Diem." It's Luc Vu Mac. Luc Vu Mac was wearing a suit, dark gray shirt, black vest... he looked like he had just come from the company. He walked towards them, his small cowhide shoes hitting the hallway made a clear echo. A moment later, Luc Vu Mac arrived in front of them. He held out his hand, his lazy voice carrying a bit of contempt: "Mr. Ha, long time no see!" Ha Ky Duong looked at the hand in front of him, smiled faintly, reached out to shake: "General Manager Luc, rarely see you!" After shaking hands, Luc Vu Mac let go and turned to look at To Diem: "Let's go visit dad?" The two men have an implicit rivalry. To Diem didn't realize it, she didn't want to appear uncomfortable in front of Dr. Ha, so she nodded: "Doctor Ha, I'll go first." Ha Ky Duong smiled slightly. To Diem and Luc Vu Mac walked towards the hospital room, no one said anything. Since she wanted a divorce, she was no longer the same, carefully pleasing him and making him happy. Nearing the door of the hospital room, Luc Vu Mac suddenly grabbed her wrist, forcing her between him and the wall, his eyes complicated. Just now, Ha Ky Duong's eyes looking at To Diem were the eyes of a man looking at a woman. Luc Vu Mac gently touched her smooth white face, very lovely.
