The car fell silent for a long while.
“Nora… About your car accident… ink.

Porry…” Zachary looked at Lenora’s peaceful face, his eyes as dark as
“Haven’t you already apologized? None of us expected these toxic fans to be still fixated on that incident.” Lenora gave a faint smile, comforting him.
Zachary opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.
Indeed, she was still unaware of yesterday’s events.
She thought it was because of the matter regarding her makeup last time.
At that time, she couldn’t clearly see the words on her phone or computer screen.
He no longer had to worry about her seeing the criticisms and insults about her on the internet, yet he couldn’t find it in himself to feel any joy.
“I’m sorry,” he said again.
“It’s all right. Everything is in the past.”
The car fell silent once again.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, Lenora asked, “What time is it now?”
“It’s ten past two.”
“How long has it been? Why hasn’t Miranda arrived yet?”
“Perhaps it’s hard to hail a cab, or maybe something happened on the road. Let’s wait a bit longer,” Zachary said, his eyes wide open as he spun his tale.
“Okay, then.”
After a considerable amount of time had passed, Lenora asked again, “Why hasn’t Miranda arrived yet? Zachary, could you please call Miranda again and ask her where she is?”
“Okay.”
Zachary stepped out of the car, a cool breeze brushing against his face.
Susanna, the girl who was originally so gentle and kind, had suffered unbearable hardships because of him. She developed severe depression and had attempted suicide multiple times.
He had promised her, vowing to take responsibility for her, to spend a lifetime with her, never to part ways.
He couldn’t go back on his word.

Among the two, he could only choose to let Lenora down.

Without him, Lenora still had his grandparents and the person she loved. Perhaps she would be happier after the divorce. But Susanna had nothing. He was all she had.
If he were to leave her again, he was certain she would die.
Zachary closed his eyes briefly, turning to glance at Lenora in the car. He pulled out his phone and dialed Miranda’s number. “Miranda, I forgot to bring the folder. It’s on the table. Could you please take a taxi to the City Hall? We’ll be waiting for you at the entrance. Please hurry.”
Upon seeing the folder on the table, Miranda quickly responded, “All right, all right.”
Zachary returned to the car and said to Lenora, “Miranda had a car accident when she was on her way here, so she had to take a detour. She should be arriving soon.”
“Okay.”
“Nora.”
“Hmm?”
After our divorce, will you marry him?”
Lenora paused for a moment. “Perhaps.”
“That’s good to hear. I owe you an apology. I wish for you to be with the one you love, to grow old together, and to have a lifetime of happiness and fulfillment.”
Suddenly, Lenora felt a sting in her nose and quickly turned away, uttering a soft “Hmm.”
She could never bring herself to bless his relationship with Susanna.
He truly didn’t love her. Because of that, he could utter such blessings for her.
What he didn’t know, however, was that she was about to divorce the person she loved.
After the divorce, he would get what he wished for, marrying another girl and becoming her husband. They would live as a loving couple, spending the rest of their lives together.
She would never grow old with him. She would never be truly happy and content.
“Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller.” The driver knocked on the car window, “Miranda has arrived.”
“Understood.” Lenora and Zachary each opened their doors and got out of the car.
Miranda hurried over, handing the folder to Zachary. “Mr. Fuller, I’ve brought this for you.”
Thank you. I appreciate you making this trip.”
Zachary looked at Lenora, walked over, and took her hand. “Let’s go. We should head inside. Watch your step.”
“All right.”

His hand, as always, was large and warm, firmly enveloping her small hand.
Lenora recalled the winter days when her hands were always icy cold.

Every time she finished work with Zachary, he would first take her hand, then gently tuck it into his own pocket, a comforting warmth enveloping them.

A bitterness surged up throat, causing the corners of his mouth to droop downwards uncontrollably.
Three years ago, they walked side by side into the City Hall to get married.
Three years later, they walked hand in hand into the City Hall to get a divorce.
This was the last time he openly held her hand.
From that day forward, they were no longer husband and wife.
The both of them would part ways from then on.
He would marry the woman of his dreams and grow old together. She would distance herself from the place of conflict, living freely and leisurely.
From then on, we’ll become strangers, each wishing the other well.
The driver and Miranda stood still, exchanging glances, and simultaneously let out a sigh.
Lenora and Zachary walked into the City Hall’s main hall.
The staff member approached, looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman before him. He pointed toward the marriage registration window. “Please line up over there for marriage registration, and remember to read the instructions.”
“We’re here to get a divorce,” Zachary said.
The staff member was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to another window. “Please line up over there for the divorce proceedings.”
Zachary led Lenora over.
The staff member was puzzled. It was the first time she had seen a couple who wanted to divorce come in hand in hand, appearing so harmonious.
“There’s quite a crowd up ahead. We might have to wait for a while. If you’re tired, you can go and sit over there. I’ll stand in line.”
“All right.”
Unable to pass the time by playing on her phone, Lenora simply decided to perk up her ears and listen to the sounds around her.
The sweetness in the marriage department was one thing, but when it came to the divorce area, the couples were constantly bickering and arguing.

Someone was airing old grievances in public, causing a huge commotion.

There were also people who suddenly had a change of heart and no longer wanted to get divorced.
Everything was in utter chaos.
Couples on the verge of divorce, as harmonious as Lenora and Zachary, were extremely rare.
Suddenly, Zachary’s phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered, “Hello, Johanne?”
“Zack, you and Lenora need to come to the hospital quickly. Grandpa has suddenly fallen into a coma! His condition is critical, and they’re doing their best to save him! Dr. Landon said the situation is very dire!”
Zachary’s chest trembled. His face turned pale. “All right! We’re coming. We’re coming right now!”
Zachary, holding Lenora, walked straight out.
Lenora asked, “What’s wrong? Has something happened to Grandpa?”
“Johanne said that Grandpa suddenly fainted, and his condition is extremely critical as he is being resuscitated!”
Let’s hurry to the hospital!”
Of course, Gerald was more important than the divorce. A divorce could happen at any time, but there was only one grandfather.
“Mr. Fuller, Mrs. Fuller, you are leaving so soon…”
“Before the paperwork was even completed, Johanne called to say that our grandpa was being resuscitated in the hospital. We need to head to Mercy Hospital immediately.”
As Zachary spoke, he simultaneously opened the car door for Lenora, allowing her to get in. Then, he walked around to the other side and took a seat in the back.
The driver’s expression also turned grave, daring not to delay any further. He immediately started the car and headed toward the hospital.
Mercy Hospital.
Zachary, leading Lenora, hurriedly rushed to the front of the operating room. “Grandma, Johanne, how is Grandpa? How long has he been in there?”
“An hour has already passed,” Johanne Fuller said.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Zachary couldn’t help but clench his fists, his knuckles turning white.
“Grandma, Grandpa is a good man, and heaven always protects the good. He will definitely be all right,” Lenora gently consoled as she sat down next to Allison.
Allison gave a faint smile, grasping Lenora’s hand and gently patting it twice. “Nora, I have spent so many years with your grandfather, so I’ve long been content. This day was bound to come, and I’ve been prepared for it. Don’t worry about me. Instead, you should be concerned about yourself. Look at how pale your face is… It’s more frightening than mine. How did you get that injury on your forehead? Is it serious?”

Lenora shook her head and tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that looked even worse
than a cry.
She couldn’t bear to imagine what she would do if something happened to her grandfather.
Just a few days ago, when she saw Gerald, he was in perfectly good health.
She couldn’t accept it.
The few of them waited outside the operating room for another three hours.
The expressions on the faces of those waiting outside were growing increasingly solemn.
Zachary landed a punch on the wall.
