Charles’s POV:
“No matter what you say, I won’t let you leave!”
“Have I upset you in any way, Charles? Why are you being so cruel to me?” Scarlett asked and stared at me with red eyes.
“We don’t need to be hostile to each other. You‘re still my wife, Scarlett. I‘m willing to compromise as long as you’re willing to make a concession.”
“Your wife? You’re treating me like I’m your prisoner! You torment me, and you seem to get off on it. But I won’t give in. You better perish your foolish ideas now.”
“How did we end up like this?” I asked her. I reached out and pulled my collar impatiently.
"You have changed. You used to be gentle and considerate, and you took good care of me. But somehow you’ve turned into a real devil!” Scarlett yelled, her voice trembling.
“Enough!” I snapped. I really didn‘t understand how Scarlett and I got into a bitter argument. Scarlett stopped talking, but she still stared at me. Her hands were shaking. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. Then, I turned around, walked to her, took her phone, and left the ward.
The next day, I finished lunch at noon, and I was on my way back to the hospital when I saw Nina from a distance. She was also headed to the hospital. I rushed over to her and caught up with her before she could jump into the elevator.
“What‘s up?” Nina said coldly.
“Can we talk?”
“Sure.”
We went to a cafe near the hospital and sat down. I told her what happened before me and Scarlett lately, especially our argument last night.
