Chapter 8 " Kai , let's get divorced . " My voice was completely calm , without the slightest ripple . He jerked his head up , his tear - streaked face full of disbelief . He probably thought I was just throwing a tantrum , that if he coaxed me enough , begged me enough , I'd soften and forgive him like countless times before . " No ... Gia , what are you saying ? " " Divorce ? You can't do this to me ! We have eight years together ! " He panicked , completely panicked , grabbing my wrist with enough force to crush my bones . " I won't agree ! I'll die before I agree ! " He started frantically kowtowing to me , again and again , his forehead hitting the cold floor tiles with dull thuds . " Gia , I was wrong , I was really wrong ! Give me one more chance , just one last chance ! " " It was all that bitch Scarlett seducing me ! You're the one I've always loved ! " How ridiculous - even now , he was still trying to push all responsibility onto others . I turned away in disgust , feeling that even looking at him once more would dirty my eyes . I reached out with my other hand and pressed the call button by my bed . The hospital room door opened quickly . My brother Dante walked in with two bodyguards . Seeing Kai in this pathetic state , a flash of satisfaction crossed his eyes , but more than that was immeasurable heartache for me . He didn't say a word , just gave a look . The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward , lifting the still - kowtowing Kai from both sides , dragging him out like a garbage . " Gianna ! You can't do this to me ! Gianna ! " " You bitch ! You'll get what's coming to you ! " His cursing grew fainter and fainter until it was completely shut out by the door . Dante approached my bedside , reaching out to touch my face but afraid of hurting me , his hand suspended in mid air . His eyes were red rimmed , his voice hoarse . " Gia , was I wrong ? " " If there hadn't been this test , would you not have suffered so much ? " I shook my head and smiled at him . " Dante , thank you . " " You helped me see him clearly , and you saved me .
