I quickly answered, and the doctor's voice came through.
"Miss Moore, the prosthetic hand you ordered is ready.
When would be a convenient time for you to come and inspect it?"
I suddenly remembered this matter.
Ethan had previously mentioned that when we both had time, he wanted to go on a nationwide survey with me.
But I had limited mobility, so this had never been realized.
I had originally planned to have the prosthetic hand installed and practice well, so I could surprise him when the time came.
I never thought that before the surprise could come, we would be ending things.
"Okay, I'll be there this afternoon."
After agreeing on a time, Luna drove me to the hospital that afternoon.
To our surprise, as soon as we entered the hospital entrance, we saw Ethan's junior colleague, Roxanne, wearing a white wedding dress.
I was all too familiar with the wedding dress she was wearing.
It was the one I had personally picked out.
Now that she was wearing it, it fit her even more perfectly than it did me.
My gaze paused briefly, then fell on the ring on her right hand.
The size was just right.
Luna also caught sight of her and gritted her teeth in anger, "What's with her getup? Is she getting married too?"
Before she could finish speaking, Ethan, dressed in formal attire and holding a lab report, hurried down the stairs.
The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, a perfect match, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
"My God, this couple is just too good-looking.
If they get married and have children, imagine how outstanding their offspring will be!"
"Exactly, I'm so envious.
If only I could marry a dream guy like him someday."
The surrounding chatter sounded particularly grating in the quiet hall.
I felt a mix of emotions and was in low spirits.
Ethan said something to her, then looked up and happened to meet my gaze, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
Roxanne also noticed me and walked over with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of ingratiation.
"Senior Olivia, you didn't attend the wedding today, so I temporarily replaced you.
I hope you don't mind."
"What right does she have to mind."
Ethan couldn't even be bothered to spare me a glance and gently comforted Roxanne.
"If it weren't for you stepping in today, who knows how angry Grandpa would have been.
What right does she have to be upset with you?"
My left hand, hanging by my side, tightened.
I had thought he was angry because I didn't go to the wedding.
I never imagined it was because I had almost caused him and his family to lose face.
It was utterly ridiculous.
"That's right, I won't disturb you two lovebirds any longer.
When you're free, Mr.Jiang, please finalize the divorce with me as soon as possible.
After all, you should give Miss Ning a proper status."
I spoke calmly, as if discussing a matter that had nothing to do with me.
A hint of surprise flashed in Roxanne's eyes, followed by a joyful look towards Ethan.
However, Ethan said angrily, "Grandpa has fallen ill because of you, and you came just to say this?"
The Jiang family had never liked me, so how could they be angry that Ethan and I were separating?
They couldn't be happier.
"Otherwise, what else do we have to discuss?"
My words silenced Ethan.
Indeed, I couldn't help with his research.
In terms of social interactions, we were also quite different.
After I was injured, I became a full-time housewife, and he had long felt that we had nothing to say to each other.
Ethan glared at me in annoyance, "Go see Grandpa.
I'll consider this matter further."
Divorce would have to be discussed sooner or later.
Even if the hope was slim, I still had to fight for it.
I said to Luna, "Luna, wait for me in the car.
I'll go see his grandfather and be right back."
Luna looked at me with concern but didn't stop me.
Ethan strode towards the ward, and I followed behind him.
Roxanne stuck close to him, and people who didn't know better probably thought they were the real husband and wife.
