Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Six months after successfully obtaining the court-issued divorce certificate.
I suddenly received a call from a Shanghai number.
The ER doctor told me Max had gotten into a car accident while arguing with his girlfriend. He was seriously injured.
Before going into surgery, he wanted to say a few words to me.
Worried I would reject a call from his own phone, he had asked the doctor to call me.
I told the doctor:
"There's no need. I have nothing to say to him."
Later, a mutual acquaintance told me:
Max survived the car accident, but it left him with lasting injuries that affected certain functions.
Chloe's legs were severely injured, confining her to a wheelchair for life.
Chloe's family latched onto Max, demanding he take care of Chloe for the rest of her life.
The two hastily got married.
After marriage, Max, who rarely drank before, began abusing alcohol and neglecting Chloe.
One day while drunk, Max accidentally started a fire while burning paper money in the house. Neither he nor Chloe managed to escape.
And that day's date was the anniversary of when he had hit me with his car, causing my miscarriage.
