MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 86

At twelve o’clock in the night, the red light of the operating room turned off. Everyone stood up eagerly. They had been waiting for the result for several hours now.

Sam had survived

However, he had to be in a wheelchair from now on.

It wasn’t a blessing by any means but at least it was better than losing his life. Sam was sent to the ICU. With a pale face, Julie soon trudged weakly out of the operating room.

“Mrs. Ye, are you okay?” Jessica immediately went to hold Julie. “Thank you so much for your help.”

Julie shook her head and said, “You’re welcome. As long as Mr. Shi marries my daughter, it will all be worth it. I hope he fulfils his promise.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on John. They knew that he was a man of his word.

But people who knew him well knew that he had broken many of his rules for Nina. When it came to her, there was no telling whether he would go back on his word or not.

Even if John broke his promise, no one in Lexingport City would dare challenge him.

“Don’t let Dad know about it. I don’t want him to feel any burden,” John said calmly, his voice sounding heavy.

He was so lost in his own thoughts that he wasn’t even sure if his sentences were coming out of his mouth.

He couldn’t let his dad have any mental strain because of this. John could carry the burden so it was best that Sam didn’t know.

Upon hearing that, Julie was ecstatic.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about it.” Julie rushed back to the Ye family now that she had completed her mission.

Looking at his brother’s sullen expression, Daniel heaved a long sigh and patted him on the shoulder.

Most of the time, he not only admired his brother, but also felt sorry for him. John had suffered immense pressure since he was a boy.

“What about Nina?” Angela asked worriedly. “Are you going to divorce her?”
Divorce?

John wouldn’t even think of such a thing.

But he had no choice but to divorce her for Sam’s sake.

He knew this marriage was about to end and it felt like his life was being sucked out of him.

“Yes.” With great difficulty, John spat out a solitary word. The faint sound was so difficult to muster that he felt like it took an age to come out of his mouth.

His eyes turned red. He knew that he was going to lose the woman he loved most.

Chester hated seeing his uncle so sad so he wrapped his uncle’s trembling palm with his hands, trying to comfort him Chester didn’t say anything. His two hands just felt like a padded jacket wrapped around John’s hands.

“Chester, I’m fine.” John raised his hand and touched the child’s head. Nina often ruffled Chester’s hair lovingly.

“Uncle John…” Dora didn’t know what to say. Her eyes were swollen from crying and they were still filled with tears. Girls really are made of water.

If Nina found out that they were getting a divorce, would she also cry so helplessly?

‘What should I do?

Little girl, what should I do?’

John had asked himself countless questions. He really didn’t know how he was going to tell her.

He would do anything for Nina. He would much rather suffer if it meant that she’d be happy.

His little girl was obsessed with his abs and gave him the gentlest kisses.

“John.” Jessica interrupted his thoughts. She bit her lip, not daring to look into his eyes. She lowered her noble head towards her brother, bent down and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

John finally understood why his little girl hated the two words “I’m sorry” more than anything.

They were the most useless words in the world. Was she expecting to dispel all the pain with just a couple words?

Some pain followed a person throughout their life. Those words didn’t fix that.

“Are you satisfied now?” John looked at the person before him. Jessica just needed to say “I’m sorry,” and yet he had to lose his beloved.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” Jessica lowered her head. It seemed that she could do nothing but say sorry.

With a steely expression, John said, “I hate those words.”

He turned and took Chester into the ICU. Dora and her mother chased after them. Daniel walked up to his sister, helped her up, and gently smiled at her.

“It’s done now. There’s no use apologizing. All you can do now is take care of Dad and make sure nothing like this happens again.”

“Daniel.” This timely kindness made Jessica feel the warmth of family affection. “I’m sorry, and thank you.”

“It’s not me who you should be saying this to.” Daniel sighed. “I hope after this, you can reflect on what you have done in the past few years. It’s time to grow up.”
Jessica froze and her face turned paler.
It turned out that in the eyes of her family, she was childish. She was more than thirty years old but she didn’t act like it.

“Okay, Daniel, I know.” It was the first time Jessica actually took any constructive criticism from her family.

Not that many people were allowed into the ICU, so they had to let the two juniors go back home to rest. Daniel and his wife did not go back and just stayed in Kanner Hospital.

Jessica and John also stayed to keep an eye on their dad, but didn’t say a word to each other.

James and Emma finally got the hospital in the middle of the night. All they could do was look at Sam resting in the ICU through the glass window.

They both stayed in the hospital as well.
It was not until the noon of the next day that Sam was finally cleared and could move into a more spacious VIP room to see everyone.

Nelson and his wife had finally come back from travelling.

When Sam woke up, Jessica excitedly walked up to him and held his hand.

“Dad, you’re finally awake? You scared me to death.”

Hearing his daughter’s crying voice, Sam’s heart softened for a moment, but he still couldn’t bear to think that she had lost Jason, who loved her so much.

“You scared me to death,” Sam snorted, but he didn’t shake off her hands.

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Jessica loosened her grip and kept quiet.

“Grandpa, you’re fine. That’s great.” Dora pouted and held Sam in her arms, tears welling up again.

“Dora, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Sam smiled and looked up at his grandkids, reassuring them that everything would be okay.

Seeing Sam’s smile, everyone seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing his family and his future granddaughter-in-law here, Sam felt much better.

What most people wanted once they got older was to be with their family, right down to their grandchildren.

However, Jason wasn’t here.

He searched around the room and noticed that someone else was missing. Where was Nina?

John was here as well. Didn’t he go to Spring City to carry out his elaborate proposal?

Why did he come back alone?

“How did your proposal go last night?” Sam didn’t care much about his health these days. He was old and he knew it was all about to deteriorate sooner or later.

He just wanted to pay more attention to how his kids were these days. Everything else seemed to not be important anymore.
