Pet Romance

Chapter 46: Some things will eventually settle, just like the long-standing ailment in Mrs. Hu’s heart. Nan Nan was right; retribution comes when it must, and nothing can stop it. She had experienced her daughter’s car accident, fearing her daughter might pass away at any moment in the hospital room. She thought that daughter must have suffered more than she did. But she still couldn’t forgive or seek forgiveness from that woman. The past was unbearable for all three of them; if not for Yu Tianyang’s greed, she wouldn’t have turned into a wicked woman, and that woman wouldn’t have become her nemesis. She felt it was necessary to understand. Mrs. Hu went to talk to Yu Tianyang with a divorce agreement in hand. That day, she dressed formally, unlike her usual self, wearing a purple designer shawl with a black long dress, adorned with agate earrings. She arranged to meet Yu Tianyang in their study. Clearly, this setup startled Yu Tianyang.
Ms. Hu said, “Let’s get a divorce.” Yu Tianyang furrowed his brows, “The reason?” “You and I both know, I’ve been punished… My daughter can no longer stand! She lost a leg to amputation.” Ms. Hu was evidently agitated but tried hard to control herself, “I don’t want my second daughter to suffer the same fate, I’d rather it be me.” “If anyone should be punished, it should be me, right? Nan Nan is my daughter too.” Yu Tianyang laughed, a hint of weariness in his voice. Perhaps Yu Tianyang hadn’t had an easy time these past years. At fifty, more than half his hair was white; he started going gray at forty and had been dyeing his hair for over a decade every time a new white strand appeared. Ms. Hu wiped away an uncontrollable tear, “Shen Qian is your daughter. I found out a week after you were with that woman. I hired a private detective to follow you, then showed up when you were at your worst, making it impossible for that woman to stay. Later, she gave birth to your daughter, and the car accident was my doing.” Ms. Hu succinctly explained the past events, expecting perhaps his scorn or even a beating, but Yu Tianyang was too calm, merely saying, “Is that so…” Ms. Hu stared at him, her eyes blurred with tears, suddenly unable to fathom what her husband of so many years was thinking. Yu Tianyang’s reaction should have been to slap her, then rush to recognize Shen Qian and be with that woman, right? But he did nothing of the sort. Instead, he handed back the divorce agreement and said, “Let’s talk about it after Nan Nan’s situation stabilizes.”
