And his heart was completely filled with his wife, Selina...

"Sister, stop pushing Brother William like this," Judy said, looking at Selina with a tone of reproach.

"Brother William's health is so poor right now. If you keep pushing him like this, his condition is bound to get worse, and you won't be able to take the blame!"

Here, she paused, her eyes darting around.

Then she continued, "I know that now that Brother William is sick, he can't provide you with the comfortable life he used to. So you cheated and found another man. But please, can you stop stimulating Brother William?"

Upon hearing this, Selina's eyes reddened with anxiety.

She quickly tried to explain, "I really didn't..."

But before she could finish, Judy interrupted her.

With tears in her eyes and a sobbing voice, Judy almost begged, "Sister, please, I'm begging you. Leave. Don't show up in front of Brother anymore. You're just making him feel even worse!"

"No!" Selina retorted loudly, her emotions flaring up.

"I'm William's wife. I'm the one who's most qualified to be by his side!"

But just then, William spoke coldly.

"Let's get a divorce."

Although his tone was indifferent, if one looked closely, a hint of reluctance was hidden in his eyes.

"William, what did you say?"

Selina, as if she hadn't heard clearly, widened her eyes in complete disbelief. "I'm setting you free. Anyway, I'm almost a dead man. You can go find that other man now. Don't worry about me. Go have a good time! How about that? Are you happy now?"

William gritted his teeth, his words filled with self - mockery and suppressed anger.

When Selina heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face like a broken string of beads.

She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

Her heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and the pain was intense.

After a long while, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she suppressed the pain in her heart and choked out one word: "Okay."

When William heard this answer, it felt like the whole world had collapsed. He felt dizzy, and his heart was empty, as if a part of it had been scooped out.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here!"

He could no longer control his emotions and roared hysterically.

"Brother William, don't get so worked up. She's not worth it. She's just a promiscuous woman," Judy said, while continuously patting William's back to comfort him.

Selina swayed on her feet, almost falling.

She bit her lip and walked out unsteadily, each step feeling like a stab to her heart.

From behind, William's coughing and angry shouts could still be heard from time to time.

But she didn't dare to look back.

She could only let her tears flow freely as her steps grew heavier and heavier...

A few days later, the day of William's surgery finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the sunlight filtered sparsely through the windows of the hospital room, but William paid it no mind.

He lay in the hospital bed, his eyes darting towards the door of the room every now and then.

There was a look of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for someone to show up.

Judy was keeping watch by his side.

Seeing William in such a distracted state, she had already cursed Selina a thousand times in her heart.

But on the surface, she still feigned a gentle and caring demeanor.

She quickly moved closer and said softly, "Brother William, stop looking outside all the time! I'll be with you all the time."

As she spoke, she reached out to tuck the blanket around William.

However, William seemed not to hear her.

His gaze remained fixed on the door, and the look of disappointment on his face became more and more evident.

Outside the hospital room, Selina's heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

She paced back and forth, stealing glances into the room from time to time, but not daring to go in.

Just as she was extremely anxious, two nurses wheeled a mysterious man into the operating room.

Only then did Selina's heart settle.

She knew that William was going to be saved.

Selina bit her lip, her eyes red.

She whispered in the direction of the hospital room, "William, please, you must live well. In the rest of your life, even if I'm not by your side... be happy."

After speaking, she took a deep look at the room, turned around, and left with heavy steps.

Inside the hospital room, William was still looking longingly at the door, completely unaware that Selina had just been there.

Nor did he know when they would meet again after this parting.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting shuttle.

A young and promising entrepreneur named William suddenly emerged in the business district.

Now, not only was his career booming, but he also had a girlfriend, Judy, from a well - off family.

Judy was the only daughter of the president of a listed company.

She had been by William's side for these five years and had helped him a great deal in his career.

After a five - year relationship, their love was finally coming to a happy conclusion.

The two were about to get engaged.

In terms of family background and career, they were a perfect match, and everyone thought they were made for each other.

At the young entrepreneur's interview, the venue was decorated extremely warmly.

The spotlight was shining brightly.

The host, with a big smile on his face, walked up to William and Judy.

He looked at the script, cleared his throat, and asked, "My information shows that William had a previous marriage. Would you be willing to share with us your views on your ex - wife and your current girlfriend?"

A scornful smile appeared on William's lips, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

The words that came out of his mouth were full of malice.

"My ex - wife? Hmph! She's a woman who loves money and status. When I was sick back then, she ran off with another man without a second thought. Such a person isn't worth my mention."

The host immediately caught the hot topic.

He knew that the audience loved such melodramatic stories.

So he immediately asked, "Mr. William, now you're a young talent. Money is just a number to you. Everyone is very curious. If your ex - wife suddenly comes back to you and wants to get back together, how would you respond? Would you give her a chance?"

Everyone was waiting for his answer with a sense of eager anticipation, as if watching a show.

But clearly, his response was no surprise.

William tightly held Judy's hand and looked at her affectionately.

"Now, Judy is the only one in my heart. She cured my illness. She's been by my side for these five years. I will definitely treat her well for the rest of my life."

The audience burst into thunderous applause.

Judy's face was beaming with a happy smile, and she gently leaned her head on William's shoulder.

In front of the screen, Selina witnessed this scene.

William's every word was like a sharp blade, piercing Selina's heart directly. Her brows knitted tightly into a frown, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up and spilled out like a flood breaking through a dam.

Beside her, her best friend, Anna, was so angry that she stamped her foot. "Selina, why don't you tell him the truth? You've only loved him all along. Things are not at all what he thinks! You did it to save him. If it weren't for you, he would have been gone long ago. How could he be so successful now!"

Selina raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice choked.

"Okay, Anna, stop. He won't forgive me. Now, I just hope he can be healthy and happy, that's all..."

Anna looked at Selina, who was so sad and dejected, and couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

She said with concern, "But what about you? All these years, you've endured so much alone. It's so unfair to you!"

Selina shook her head with a bitter smile.

Her gaze remained fixed on William's figure on the screen, and her thoughts drifted far away as memories of the past came flooding back...

In the evening, she returned home in low spirits.

"Mom!" A clear and cheerful voice rang out immediately.

Her daughter, Brook, rushed out of the room like a lively little bird and threw herself into Selina's arms.

Selina forced herself to be energetic, stroked her daughter's head, and put on a smile.

"Happy birthday, my dear!" Today was her precious daughter Brook's birthday.

Brook raised her rosy - cheeked face, her eyes shining brightly.

She said expectantly, "Mom, did you buy me that super - pretty princess dress?"

The princess dress was something Selina and her daughter saw in the mall before.

It was extremely expensive.

At that time, to make her daughter happy, Selina promised to give it to her as a birthday gift.

But that dress was really too expensive, and she... Selina's heart sank.

She took out a princess dress that was similar in style but much cheaper. She said to her daughter apologetically, "Honey, Mom is not capable enough. I haven't earned a lot of money. Can you wear this one first? Next year, next year Mom will definitely buy you the dress you like."

Selina squatted down, her eyes red, and her voice slightly choked.

Upon hearing this, the smile on her daughter's face disappeared instantly, and her little mouth pouted unconsciously.

But after a while, her daughter, being very sensible, took Selina's hand and said softly, "Mom, I don't want it. You work so hard every day and still have to take care of me. It's already very difficult for you. I was being too naughty."

Hearing her daughter's words, Selina couldn't hold back anymore.

Tears welled up and fell to the ground.

She hugged her daughter tightly, filled with self - reproach.

"It's Mom who's not good enough. I can't buy you the things you like. You have to suffer with me."

Holding her daughter, the image of William suddenly flashed through Selina's mind...
