Theresa went to take a shower. When she came back to the bedroom, she saw Charlie reading a book. She was

surprised because she had thought that he was sleeping.

Charlie looked up and asked, “Did Roderick call you just now?”

She looked away. “It’s none of your business.” She didn’t want to sleep next to him on the same bed, so she took

out a quilt from the wardrobe and put it on the sofa.

Staring at her cold expression, he asked, “You are being cold for the sake of early divorcement, aren’t you?” “How

could you do that to me? It hurts!”

Her mouth twisted. ‘I don’t mean that. What are you talking about? You are so good at slandering.’ She then said

impatiently, “Oh, yes. You are right. So please divorce me as soon as possible.”

“But I love your coldness. And your angry face,” replied he with cheekiness.

She rolled her eyes at him and lay on the sofa, silent.

The next morning when Theresa just woke up, she saw Charlie practicing walking alone near the wall. She

wondered. ‘When did he get up?”

After he took a few steps, he fell awkwardly on the ground and thumped his legs angrily.

She didn’t disturb him but lay on the sofa quietly, watching him fall down but crawl up many times with all his

strength. With a bit of pity for him, she believed that if she were he, she would go insane. She kept watching. him

struggle for almost an hour without drawing his attention.

Suddenly he tilted his head toward her and met her gaze, which dazed him. Then he straightened up quickly and

leaned against the wall slightly. “When did you wake up?”

‘He’s trying to look well.’ She answered, “Actually, I am still sleepy.” She closed her eyes as she spoke.

With his eyes fixed on her, he didn’t know what he should say. After a while, he reached out his hand to hold

hers.

She opened her eyes to find him back in his wheelchair with his white shirt all wet with sweat.

He looked into her eyes seriously. “If you insist on divorcing, I agree.”

She became much sober now. Thinking for a few seconds, she asked, “Really?” “But you were so stubborn last night

and said no to me many times. Why do you suddenly tell me you agree?’

He continued, “But I have a condition for that. We won’t divorce until my legs totally recover. I don’t want to be

abandoned again when I should sit in a wheelchair. So when my legs recover, I will divorce you. Okay?”

She got his point and realized why he didn’t let her go. ‘It’s not because he loves me. He just cares about his pride

and esteem. He was once abandoned by Sarah, which hurt his pride. Now he just wants to stand on his dignity and

doesn’t allow me, a once-divorced woman, to abandon him.”
