NovelAppOver at Elizabeth Hospital, Avery-who was put on a drip—leaned against the bedhead.
The door to her ward opened and Mike strode in.
"What are you holding?" Avery's gaze fell on his hand.
Mike handed the documents to her. "You said you wanted to divorce Elliot, right? | printed the divorce agreement for you so you can sign it right now. Once he comes back, you can let him sign it right away too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery took the document and read it carefully.
"If you make all the preparations and just leave the last bit for him to sign, it'll be the biggest blow to him," Mike analyzed with her.
"He's a proud man, but | can imagine him getting angry when he sees you being so proactive with handing over the divorce agreement. Once he's angry, he might just sign it immediately." "There's no need to play psychological tactics, Mike. He and | are both adults, and I'm sure he knows that I'm going to divorce him already." Avery flipped through the documents and saw a form on the last page.
There were two large columns above for the man's demands and the woman's demands, respectively.
"You can fill them out after discussing it with him," Mike said when he saw her staring at the blank form in a daze.
"Sure." Avery then requested a pen.
Mike immediately took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to her.
She took the pen, signed her non it, then put it on the cabbeside her.
"He's been gone for a week, right?" She calculated the date in her mind.
"I think so," Mike muttered, "But | didn't hear anyone mention that he was coming back, so perhaps he might not be coming back anytsoon." Avery did not know what to say after that.

"It's better this way, Avery," Mike comforted her. "Sever your attachment to him and be the best version of yourself alone." "You might as well tellto beca hermit and seek enlightenment in solitude.
"That's not what | meant. | just want you to stop having so much affection and attachment to a man. You're a brilliant woman, Avery. Won't it be nice to treat life like a gand take it less seriously? Who cares if you lose Elliot? There are countless men out there waiting for you." "You wantto be a skank?" "Skank or no skank, as long as it's consensual, they have no right to call you that." "Don't impose your feelings and beliefs on me, Mike.” Avery was still sick and had no mood to be thinking about feelings. "How am | supposed to enjoy my life if my eyes can't be cured and | end up blind!" "You always say that | have a vicious mouth but | think you're more vicious than me!" Mike complained. "Wesley said that your eye condition can be cured and you won't go blind. He'll never lie to me." "Haven't you heard of the case where the patient died on the operating table because they underwent surgery to give them double eyelids?" Avery reasoned factually with him.
