Chapter 6

After stepping out of the elevator from the hospital’s underground parking lot, Damon and Carol walked out ahead of me.

They chatted casually, looking every bit like a perfect couple. Meanwhile, I, his wife, trailed behind them.

As we passed by Damon’s office in the department, one of my father’s colleagues happened to walk out. Seeing Damon, his face showed some surprise. “Damon, where have

you been? Your father–in–law passed away, and

you didn’t even come back.”

“What!?” Damon frowned, his face filled with

disbelief.

Dr. Davis passed away a couple of days ago. It’s such a pity. If you had been here, there might have been a chance to save him since you were his most promising fellow.”

Damon’s face turned ashen. He rushed over to me, gripping me tightly before I could get far. Carol, looking panicked, hurried over as well.

“Ashley! Why didn’t you tell me Warner passed away?”

I laughed bitterly. “Are you sure I didn’t tell

you?”

I shifted my gaze from him to Carol. Seeing the truth about to come out, Carol forced a few

tears.

She tried to speak, but Damon dragged me to a nearby stairwell.

“Warner passed away, why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you ask me to come back for the

surgery? Uncle Gerald just said he could have been saved if I had performed the surgery…” Damon questioned me, tears streaming down his face.

In the past, I might have comforted him, saying that my father’s condition was severe, and even with him performing the surgery, the chances of survival were slim.

But now, looking at him, I felt no sympathy, only disgust at his tears.

Still, my tears fell because the death of my father had always been a deep wound in my

heart.

Today, with this issue being brought up again, the emotions I had suppressed for so long broke

free.

He kept questioning me, “Ashley, why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Wiping my tears, my face took on a hint of anger. “I called you. But you didn’t pick up.‘

“།

I sobbed, my voice strong despite my grief.

Damon looked at me, incredulous. “That’s impossible…”

“When I called you, Carol answered. Didn’t she tell you?” The long–repressed feelings and grievances made me strong in this moment. My face was visibly angry, and my voice rose.
