Chapter 85 Care Nothing About Your Money
Damon frowned, his deep dark eyes burning with astonishment. “You want a divorce?” he asked in a low and cold voice.
“Yes, I do.” Adele turned around and stared at the man.
Just now, she had already thought it through. Their marriage was a mistake, and she had to stop it right away.
“Adele, we haven’t reached this point yet, have we?” Damon frowned, his tightened jaw showing that he was suppressing his anger.
Before he could make up for it, she had already proposed a divorce?
“No?” Adele looked into his eyes fearlessly and said word by word, “You have someone you love. What am I?”
What did he want to do? Did he want to be an ancient emperor who could have many concubines?
As soon as she said this, Damon’s face darkened a little. He pursed his thin lips tightly, and after a long time, he said, “If you really want to, then we will have a divorce.”
After he finished speaking, he took out a blank check and placed it directly on the bedside table next to her. He said coldly, “This check is your compensation.”
Adele turned her head and her gaze stopped on the check. Half a second later, she sneered, “So, you want me to fill in the numbers, right?”
She had never thought that such a plot that appeared in TV dramas would actually happen to her one day!
Laughable!
Damon pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
Adele was burning with rage. Without another word, she reached out and grabbed the check. She raised her eyes to meet the man’s dark eyes. “Do you think I married you for your money? Or do you think that the dead child can be measured in numbers?”
As she spoke, she suddenly tore the check in her hand. Her eyes turned red as she said hatefully, “I care nothing about your money!”
The scraps of paper fell to the side of the bed. Damon frowned but did not say a word.
At this point, their relationship could no longer be as it once was.
Adele took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She pretended to be calm and said firmly, “I won’t take your money, and I won’t donate my kidney. I just want to divorce you.”
Damon frowned and paused, finally swallowing the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
In the end, he said in a low voice, “Take good care of yourself.”
After saying this, he directly turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.
The moment the room returned to peace, Adele’s tears finally couldn’t help but gush out.
Was the first marriage in her life ended so hastily?
…
The next morning, Adele woke up and wiped her face. After the nurse checked her injuries, she happened to see Ben standing at the door.
After the nurse left the room, Ben walked into the ward.
“Madam, Mr. Yusuf asked me to…”
“You can change how you address me henceforth,” Adele interrupted him softly.
Ben definitely knew that she and Damon were going to divorce.
Ben paused, a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face. He slowly handed over the document in his hand. “This is what Sir asked me to give you.”
It was a divorce agreement.”
A bitter smile appeared on the corners of Adele’s lips. She took the document and saw that Damon had already signed his name. She picked up the pen and signed her name.
After everything was done, she handed the document back to Ben. Her tone was unfamiliar and cold. “Sorry for the trouble.”
Ben hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked out.
Just as Mary came back from buying breakfast, she saw that Adele’s expression was not right and hurriedly asked, “Madam, what’s wrong?”
“Mary, there is something I need to tell you.” Adele turned to look at her and said softly.
“What is it?” Mary put down her breakfast and walked forward.
“I divorced Damon, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
“What? What’s wrong?” Mary was stunned.
“We are not compatible… And I’m going to be discharged today. I’m going home.” Adele smiled at her.
Mary had a look of disbelief on her face. She seemed to have thousands of questions she wanted to ask, but when she saw Adele’s expression, she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Adele was determined. She personally went through the discharge procedures, packed up her things, and was about to go home.
“Madam…”
“The injuries on your body…” Mary pulled Adele back.
“Don’t worry, Mary. I will take good care of myself. If you really want to help me, please help me pack up my luggage. I will find time to pick it up.”
Seeing that Adele had made up her mind, Mary knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she had to nod and agree.
Half an hour later, Damon stood at the window and saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the hospital.
It seemed that the injuries on her body had not completely healed yet. Adele walked slowly forward. She stood at the door and reached out to stop a taxi. She opened the door and got in. She was determined and decisive. She did not even look back.
Damon frowned. The emotions in his heart were a little strange.
Suddenly, his waist tightened, and a pair of soft, boneless arms wrapped around his waist.
“Damon, what are you looking at? Why are you so serious?” A sweet female voice sounded in his ears.
Damon came back to his senses and forcefully retracted his gaze. He turned to look at Clara who was behind him.
“Nothing.”
“Damon, I heard that the surgery was delayed again?” Clara leaned against Damon’s chest.
“Yes, don’t worry. I will find a suitable kidney as soon as possible.” Damon lowered his eyes and looked at the woman with a bit of pity.
Even if Adele refused to donate, he would continue to find a suitable kidney for Clara.
…..
After staying at home for three or four days, Adele was still unhappy. Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes attempted to make her happy every day, but they failed.
“Adele, come out and eat some fruit. Don’t always stay in the room!” Ms. Henderson patted the bedroom door.
In the past few days, other than eating and going to the bathroom, Adele had almost never left the bedroom door, which made Ms. Henderson worried.
Adele took off her earphones and slowly walked out of the room. Just as she sat down on the sofa, she looked up and saw her parents staring at her.
“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?” Adele asked slowly.
Professor Wes paused for a moment and finally could not help but ask, “Adele, what happened between you two these past few days? You and Damon…”
In the past few days, Ms. Henderson had been constantly asking around about the two of them. However, whenever Adele heard Damon’s name, she would become even more abnormal. After a few times, they did not dare to ask again.
This continued for several days. Finally, they could not go on like this. They thought about it and decided to have a good talk.
Adele took a deep breath. The expression on her face did not change. She lowered her head and inserted a piece of apple with a fork. She said softly, “I divorced him.”
“What?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes were both shocked. The two of them looked at each other.
“Because of the child, and we are not suitable for each other.” Adele lowered her eyes and said lightly.
“Why didn’t you discuss it with us…?” Ms. Henderson couldn’t help but shout.
At the side, Professor Wes’ face darkened. He reached out and pulled Ms. Henderson, signaling her with his eyes.
Ms. Henderson was stunned. She reacted and quickly stopped speaking.
Adele took a deep breath, put down the fork in her hand, looked at them, and said seriously, “Dad, Mom, I know what I’m doing. I have already decided.”
She had no other way out of this matter. She had to put an end to the marriage.
