“I did not study psychology, but I think that if a man has already made up his mind to cheat on you, you should just let him go. You will eventually find someone who will treat you wholeheartedly. The key is that you must be willing to give up,” the man said.
“Thank you, I have another phone call coming in. I’ll hang up now.” Stella hung up and looked at Jasper Milton’s caller ID, but did not answer.
When people were impulsive, angry, wronged, or vexed, it was best to calm down for five minutes first. If sharp words were said, it would only hurt the other party. It might not necessarily be a good thing for you if the other party was hurt.
Especially when they were your relatives, friends, colleagues, boss, or lover.
Jasper called again, and Stella answered.
“Where are you?” Jasper asked in a tired voice.
If he had used up all his energy on another woman, what was the point of getting mad at him?!
If she lost her temper, he would only think that she was annoying and insufferable. He would not bear to see her.
It was only human to avoid pain and pursue happiness.
The reason why a woman would lose her temper was that she wanted the man to change for the better.
But the reality was that he wouldn’t change himself, and he wouldn’t care to. She would be the only one who got hurt if she lost her temper.
“I’m outside. I have something to deal with,” Stella said lightly.
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
Stella smiled.
He didn’t even want to talk to her. He didn’t even ask her what she was going to do or whether she needed help.
Ha ha.
Men were indeed the most ruthless animal in the world.
“Bye,” Stella said softly. She hung up the phone, turned it off, and lay in bed.
The more aware she was, the more she knew it was nothing but pain.
She knew that she couldn’t fall asleep.
No one loved her, so she should cherish herself more.
She took out the medicine from her bag, ate it, and lay down on the bed again.
When she woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache and her throat was dry. Her eyes were so painful that she couldn’t open them.
Stella seemed to have a very high fever. She looked at her cell phone. It was already ten o’clock. She got up from the bed and staggered as if she was stepping on cotton. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to the nearby hospital. When she got out of the car, she saw Jasper’s car passing by.
He got out of the car and opened the passenger’s door. He then carried a girl down and walked to the hospital.
Stella sat in the car and stared at Jasper’s disappearing figure.
If she weren’t his wife and only a stranger to him, or perhaps if he did not agree to marry her, she would not be as sad as she was now.
She trembled at the thought of how her married life was going to be. It would be a living hell if she were to witness this kind of scene unravel in front of her in the future.
She didn’t want to live like this.
Stella shakily took out her mobile phone from her bag.
“Miss, do you want to get out of the car?” asked the driver.
“Let’s go to First People’s Hospital,” Stella told to the driver.
The driver rerouted to First People’s Hospital.
Stella dialed Frederick Addington’s number. “I married Jasper yesterday. Could you find a way to help me dissolve the marriage? I don’t want to be married to him anymore.”
“We can do that since your wedding information is not in the system yet. As long as you can get the marriage certificate, it will be as if you two weren’t married at all and there will no record of your marriage. Also, since he didn’t use his military’s officer ID to marry you, it would easy for you to settle this,” Frederick said with a smile in his eyes.
There was no more chance for Jasper Milton.
“Okay, thank you,” Stella said, still weak from the fever.
“Just treat me to a meal. Stella, you now owe me two meals.”
“Okay.”
“The most important thing is to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible,” Frederick reminded her.
“Okay.” Stella hung up the phone.
She was about to faint. She went to the hospital to register and wait for her turn. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold on, so when she saw a private clinic, she told the driver to drop her there.
Stella took out fifty dollars and handed it to the driver. “Keep the change. Thank you.”
She staggered into the clinic and asked the doctor to bring some medication and IV drip. “Please find a nurse to help me change my straps.”
The doctor noticed that Stella was a doctor as well. Since it wouldn’t affect the fee, he agreed to her requests.
Stella lay on the bed and fainted.
When she woke up, three hours had passed.
She applied the ointment on her wound, and a nurse helped to bandage it.
The IV drip was already hung properly by the side.
“Hello, Miss, your phone rang a few times,” the nurse reminded her with a smile.
The service in the private clinic was good.
“Thank you.” Stella got up from the bed, still a little dizzy. It seemed that she had to return tomorrow for a follow-up.
She took out her cell phone from her bag and saw that there were missed calls from Jasper Milton.
She called back.
“When are you coming back?” Jasper asked directly.
“In an hour, let the soldiers pick me up at the door, otherwise I may not be able to come in,” Stella said calmly.
“Sure.”
Stella put on delicate makeup to cover up her haggard and pale face. It was as if she was perfectly fine and healthy.
When she reached, it was Jasper who was waiting for her at the gate.
She stared at the stalwart man in front of her with her cold eyes.
On the first day of their marriage, he took a woman to the hotel.
On the second day, he went to the hospital with that woman.
The ironic thing was, she was in the same hotel as him, and she even went to the same hospital as him.
The difference was that they were showing off their love, while she was alone.
Her heart was broken. She would be lying if she said it didn’t hurt.
She was sad and distressed, but it was useless in the face of a heartless man.
It was easier to give up.
She didn’t want a marriage of another three hellish years of prison.
In three years, she would be thirty years old and all her youth would be wasted.
Stella got into Jasper’s car and did not mention anything about what had happened yesterday and this morning. He did not ask her about it either.
Stella looked to the front. “Where did you put our marriage certificate?” she asked casually.
Jasper looked at her. “It’s beside our bed table. Why?”
Stella smiled at him, her eyes full of sarcasm, determination, sorrow, and relief. “Nothing, just asking.”
“Well, have you eaten yet?” he asked.
She remembered the takeaway he ordered with the girl in the middle of the night. She felt sick at the thought of eating with him.
She hadn’t had anything since yesterday night. But she didn’t want to eat with him, and she didn’t want him to watch her eat, so she said, “I’ve eaten.”
“I’ll arrange for our meeting at four o’clock in the afternoon. I’ve prepared all the information. You can take a look before the meeting.”
“Okay,” Stella responded calmly.
She only wanted to get hold of the marriage certificate and destroy it.
Jasper looked at Stella and held her hand.
It felt like an electric shock. She frowned and pulled away her hand, glaring at him.
“What’s wrong?” Jasper asked in confusion. From the moment he saw her just now, he felt something was wrong.
