I gave up trying to win her over after that. Adeline did not annoy me at all in the days and weeks that followed. She never mentioned the divorce to me again. Her actions and words seemed completely meaningless, and I could not help but wonder if maybe she was just trying to get my attention. Our son and I have not spent much time outside lately, so this weekend I decided to make the most of our time together. She is someone I know very well. Without me, she is unable to survive. Since we first started dating, I have been her entire universe. Additionally, I used to witness her frequently engaging in this behavior when she was feeling uninspired by her life. Nevertheless, she has never before discussed the divorce publicly until now. Gradually, my complacency increased. Adeline had stopped talking about it. As a married couple, we go back to our old habits of sharing a bed and having sexual relations. All of a sudden, it felt like everything was back to normal for us. Adeline must be

"Oh my, Lucas! You are not getting what I am saying. Please just let me go. I beg you to do this! Just let me go, please! For Pete's sake, I don't want to stay with this family any longer. Do you hear me? Allow me to go now!"Adeline was moving in a circle around our room, and as a way of venting her frustration, she was pulling at a few strands of hair. Her appearance was a complete mess because, up until now, she had been crying. Her tears overflowed, resulting in this. On her face, it appears that some makeup was smudged. Adeline's tears continued to fall both of her cheeks, and she was never able to stop them. As if doing so will fulfill her demands. She looks frustrated, and I can see that from where I am standing. She is unaware, though, that I managed to refrain from hitting her. Her words caused a lump to form in my pride. Furthermore, she instigated the notion that I was the antagonist in this situation despite the fact that she was the one who first brought the third party i

For a moment, my whole body felt as though my feet were firmly planted on the ground as I watched them move the hospital bed that was carrying my wife toward the operating room. It all still feels like a dream to me. When I regained consciousness, I moved silently and stealthily in their direction. I should push myself. I am making every effort to learn as much as I can about the circumstances and determine why they require immediate surgery. I wanted to know why this operation was really necessary. I see that my composure and reflection are gradually improving. Although there was some blood on her brain, the cause of it could not yet be ascertained. Her head hitting her car's windshield hard while driving is most likely to blame. In the absence of this, it may cause severe damage to her brain, so we need to act quickly to get rid of it and identify its cause. Don't be worried, Mayor Romanov, we—"Although I am not entirely sure what they are talking about or what is happening, I can

"Lucas, what are the possibilities that Adeline will be able to regain her consciousness back? Do you believe there is a possibility left? She still sleeps and does not move even after several months have passed since the incident. It is impossible for me not to feel concerned." It was Adeline's mother, asking me about it and letting out a loud sigh. She always asked questions, so in my mind, she was an older version of my son Luke. The same questions were asked virtually every other day. I chose to respond to her out of courtesy, even though I knew she might forget that I was in the same situation as her."Like you, I also don't know Mother, but the one thing that I can tell for sure is when it's Adeline's will to wake up, one day she would wake up unexpectedly. I do believe that her mission here on Earth was not completed yet."I continued asking Adeline's doctor day by day when she would awaken from her coma, but she was also unable to predict it. We were left with no choice but to

ADELINE POVMy forehead wrinkled when I felt something heavy run over my body. I cautiously opened my eyes to see what it was, but was taken aback and amazed to discover my husband, Lucas, on top of me. I instantly closed my eyes once more to act as though I had not noticed him, but it was too late. I know our eyes will meet in a few seconds, and I will not be able to avoid him.You look stupid, Adeline! Stop playing pretend; he is already seen you open your eyes!His serious eyes were fixed on me, and I could feel them focusing. And the evidence is that he is furiously furrowing his mouth, which my slightly open eyes allowed me to see in faint detail. I gulped deeply. His quiet laugh startled me enough to open my eyes wide. Our gazes locked once more, and his expression changed. Wanting to avoid seeing him, I averted my gaze. As soon as I caught a glimpse of his serious expression out of the corner of my eye, I felt a chill run down my spine. It appears that he still harbors animosit
