Daniel maintained his silence.

Linda stole a quick glance at him and couldn’t help but feel he was even more intimidating when he stayed quiet. However, his silence now carried a touch of sadness.

After a while, he spoke softly. “Is he… treating her well?”

“Whether it’s good or bad, it’s not your concern anymore,” she replied.

“It is my concern!” Daniel’s voice trembled slightly. “If he treats her well, I promise I won’t disturb her anymore. But if he mistreats her, I’ll do anything to bring her back to me.”

“Why did you act like you did in the first place, knowing all this?” Linda asked with a bitter smile. “Where were you when she wanted to be with you the most, have children with you, and live a happy life together?”

Linda’s words rendered Daniel speechless.

“Reflect on it yourself,” Linda said calmly before leaving the room. “Think about what she meant to you in the past. Did you truly see her as a woman, or did you treat her as a means to alleviate your loneliness?”

Daniel slowly rose and ventured into the courtyard. The night was draped in fog, casting a veil over the sky. He shivered, lighting a cigarette.
