His eyes were panicked, both scared and regretful. He shouted, his voice hoarse:
– Don’t leave me… save me…
I stood up straight, looked at him, looked at the girl crying miserably beside me, then resolutely:
From now on, I have nothing to do with you and her. I have already prepared the divorce papers.
Tomorrow I will take the child and leave. You stay here and pay the price for your betrayal. After saying that, I turned around and walked away.
Behind, John and his mistress screams echoed throughout the hospital corridor. But I did not stop. Outside, the night wind was cold but I felt my heart brighter than ever.
I knew that I had just removed a malignant tumor from my life. I had no more room for meaningless tears. Tomorrow, my child and I would start over – a new life, though hard but pure, without lies and betrayal.
As for John, he would have to remember that moment forever: when both he and his lover cried out in despair, because the woman he had loved with all her heart had turned her back and left.
