“You have your reasons!” Winnie’s eyes were fixated, and she said sharply, “Please, sign!”
“I won’t sign this, Winnie!” Hudson persistently refused.
“What do you want?” Her tears looked as though they were about to fall again, “Hudson, if you won’t sign this, I will jump out of this window. Do you think I won’t do it?”
“No—” Hudson could see the determination in her eyes, “Winnie, can I sign this later? How about you take some time to think it over some more?”
He wanted to discuss with her, but in her current state, she was in no mood for discussions.
“Are you going to sign or not?” She said in an even sharper voice.
Looking at her twisted face, Hudson was afraid of upsetting her to the point of her doing something silly, “Fine, fine, I’ll sign!”
With his hand shaking, he signed his name.
After he was done signing, she suddenly calmed down and shut her eyes. She gave it her all to finally proclaim her freedom; she should feel happy, but why did she feel so sad instead?
On the other hand, Hudson’s heart ached immeasurably.
“Winnie…” Hudson tried to say something after he was done signing, but Winnie interrupted him.
“Please, get out!”
“You’d better leave!” Ethel walked in and patted Hudson on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of her!”
Hudson walked out the door, but he remained there and didn’t go further.
At the sound of the door closing, Winnie’s heart felt like it was about to fall apart.
Where was her so-called “husband” while she was struggling through life and death?
He was off running around with his lover while she laid on the operating table by herself, full of blood. She didn’t need this kind of marriage. No matter how deeply she loved him, it didn’t matter anymore!
Ethel said nothing but sat on a stool next to the bed and accompanied her silently. He was well aware of how depressed Winnie must feel.
