Ashley rolled her eyes back and passed out in
Ben’s arms.
Ben panicked, slapping her face.
“Ashley, wake up! I’m taking you to the
hospital.”
As he brushed past me, Ben slapped me hard
across the face.
“Sarah, I’ve been too easy on you, to the
point you forgot who you are. You have no
respect for the Carters‘ bloodline!”
“Ashley is so innocent and sensitive. She
always feels bad and makes sacrifices, and
you stab her in the heart.”
“Someone, take Mrs. Carter to the basement
and lock her in there. Don’t let her out until I
say so.”
He carried Ashley away.
Ashley’s head lolled on his shoulder, and at
that moment, she glanced at me, her
expression filled with contempt.
I struggled, but the bodyguards forced me
into the basement and tied me to a chair.
I screamed, but they shoved a dirty rag in my
mouth, and I gagged.
The basement was dark. I thrashed around,
but soon I was exhausted.
My stomach growled, and then the pain set
- in.
I faded in and out of consciousness, feeling
numb and barely able to move my limbs.
The basement door opened, and Ben stood
there with Ashley, looking down at me.
“Sarah, have you thought about it? If you
admit you were wrong and apologize to
Ashley, I will let you out. You must be hungry after two days.”
I mustered up what little strength I had to
curse him.
“What did I do wrong? Was it not celebrating
you sleeping with your mistress? Or refusing
to take care of your mistress?”
But I passed out.
Someone picked me up.
“Why are you so stubbor? How are you ever
going to get along with Ashley? Your
temperament has got to change.”
I was in a hospital bed.
My wrist was wrapped in bandages.
A nurse came in and said,
ミミ
“Don’t move. Your wrist just underwent
surgery.”

I looked at the wrist. What happened to my
hand after being hungry for two days?
Dr. Lee, my best friend, came in.
“Sarah, why didn’t you take care of yourself?
You know your hands are everything for a
doctor.”
“Your wrist has been cut off from blood
circulation for too long, which has caused a
lot of nerve death. I don’t know how long it’ll
take to fix.”
My heart sank. I gave up business
administration an
administration and studied clinical medicine.
I spent days and nights practicing and
studying, and I was promoted to chief
physician just a short while ago.
I stared at my stiff fingers.
How could you do this to me, Ben? You knew!
The door was pushed open. Ben and Ashley
came in.
“Have you realized the consequences of your
actions?”
Ben glanced at my hand, “If you hadn’t acted
up and said such nasty things to Ashley, I
wouldn’t have hurt your hand.”
“I didn’t even want you to work in the
hospital, with its smell of disinfectant. When
Ashley has the baby, you can take care of it
at home.”
I didn’t know whether it was chest pain or
body pain.
I thought our marriage would be different. He
was the one who understood me. He
supported my dreams.
He was there at the hospital, and he would
Unfortunately, he was gone.
I slapped Ben on the face.
“Ben, take your mistress and get out. I want a
divorce.”
“Sarah, just because you came from a rich
family doesn’t mean I’ll let you threaten me.”
Ben grabbed my wrist, and his voice stopped.
Blood quickly stained the bandages. Ben
stared at my hand, and his face crumbled.
“Doctor! Where is the doctor?”
“Come and check my wife’s hand! Or I’ll shut
down your hospital.”
