Surviving Divorce Her Miraculous Second Chance - Season 2 Episode 3

Inside the intensive care unit, I saw several doctors who were examining my daughter again. One of them was discussing something with everyone while looking at the brain. CT scan. Those people were nodding frequently, and then he carefully examined the child again.

I, standing outside, didn’t even dare to breathe, staring wide–eyed at the situation inside.

The entire examination lasted for an hour before it was completed.

He told Raymon, “Mr. Baxter, fortunately, the child’s small body is soft in all parts, and it seems that the cranial nerves have not been injured. She should wake up soon. However, the concussion is still very serious. There are multiple areas of soft tissue or subcutaneous bleeding, and the most serious is the large area of subcranial bleeding. I will stay until she wakes up for further examination.”

Oswald also repeatedly thanked Raymon for the doctor he had arranged for us.

The daughter had been unconscious for a full 28 hours before she finally came to. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The expert Raymon had invited conducted another thorough and meticulous examination on her. Joy was surprisingly well–behaved, just innocently staring at me by the window with her big eyes. I was crying and pressing against the window, smiling at her, constantly waving at her, afraid that she might be scared.

After the examination was completed, she was sent to the ward. It was a high–end ward arranged by Raymon, where my mother and I could stay together for convenient care.

Chapter 18 The Deserved Panishmand

When no one was around, she comforted me. “The little girl has great fortune, she is bound to have future blessings.” This was the most convincing comfort I had heard in the past few days.

Sergio and Lelia never showed up at the hospital, which was fine, I really didn’t want to see them anyway.

Oswald and his mother took turns bringing us food, but I indifferently ignored their presence. I had reached the point of extreme disappointment with this family, no longer harboring any feelings of kinship.

Even Joy was not close to them. No matter how they teased her or tried to get close to her, she clung tightly to me, not letting them touch her or talk to her.

Oswald tried every means to persuade me to drop the lawsuit against Sérgio, saying it was a family matter and we should resolve it ourselves. I rejected his argument, refused the idea of reconciliation, what I wanted was to make him pay for his actions.

He had always favored boys over girls, looking down on my Joy just because she was a girl. He treated my Joy like trash, hurting her for no reason. He didn’t deserve to be a grandfather, didn’t deserve our respect. I wouldn’t let him off the hook.

A week after Joy was discharged from the hospital, the case of Sergio’s intentional injury went to court. Mr. Dylan argued forcefully and the evidence was irrefutable. The injury assessment report was also authentic and valid. Coupled with the media’s heated coverage, this incident gained considerable attention and could not be ignored by the general public. On the day of the trial, many netizens and citizens of River City came to the scene to show their support.

Sergio was ultimately sentenced to five years for intentional injury. He also did not appeal again.

After leaving the court, Mr. Dylan suggested to me that if I had already

decided to divorce, it would be best to strike while the iron is hot and proceed with the divorce lawsuit as well, to avoid further complications. I agreed with his suggestion, not wanting to have any relationship with this man for even a single day.

The subpoena was issued quickly, and a week later, my divorce case with Oswald was also going to court, because he had always disagreed with the divorce agreement.

It was only then that Oswald realized my determination. He panicked, coming to the villa every day to knock on the door, wanting to see me. I avoided him and did not accept any mediation.

It was the weekend, a rare day off for Eleanor, so I left Joy in her care. I wanted to go back to Han Yao to retrieve my belongings, the things that belonged to both Joy and me. No matter how I chose to start over, there were many things there that I found hard to let go of. Even the things I wanted to throw away, I had to do it myself.

Eleanor said she wanted to accompany me, but I refused. I asked her to take care of Joy for me. She knew I was going to say goodbye, so she didn’t insist.

The car I had booked was delayed due to Joy’s injury incident, and I never went to pick it up. Eleanor let me use her car instead, urging me to go and come back quickly.

When I got there, the moment I opened the door, as I looked around the narrow, familiar cabin, my nose tingled and my eyes began to mist.

It seemed that no one had been back here for a long time. Everything was still the way it was when I was here. The clothes that I didn’t have time to tidy up when I rushed out that day, it was as if it had just happened. But now, everything has changed.

This marriage was already beyond the point of no return, I couldn’t possibly accept sharing a husband with someone else.
