In a week, I'll bring you home."] Jessica replied: ["Okay."] It was Sean who broke the vow. She didn't want him anymore. Since her ID card had been canceled, she didn't need to prepare the divorce papers anymore. The nurse redressed Jessica's wounds. During this, Jessica searched for Sean on her phone, almost like self-harm in a self-tormenting manner. The internet was flooded with posts about Sean buying luxury goods for Tiffany and attending upper-class social events and business meetings. Finally, she leaned back against the hospital bed, her eyes vacant as she stared at the ceiling, and said to the nurse: "Don't tell him I went out." The nurse wanted to speak but didn't dare. If Sean found out it was their negligence that let Jessica run out and wors- en her wounds, he wouldn't let them off easily.

"Jessica, you're the only one I'll ever love. If I can't be with you forever, I'll never rest in peace-even in death." Those earnest words had once moved her to tears. Now they became sharp blades piercing her heart. Suddenly she recalled their childhood meeting. When she was six, her father's latest affair drove her mother to madness.

"Darling, I got this at the Cathedral while you were unconscious." "They said making wishes with three kneels and nine bows really works-turns out it's true." "Reward me with a kiss?" He leaned his face toward hers. Previously, every gift from Sean earned him a kiss. Now, all Jessica could see were visions of Sean tangled in bed with Tiffany-making her nauseous. As she scrambled for an excuse, Sean's phone buzzed insistently. He silenced it immediately. The buzzing persisted. Jessica urged: "Check it. It might be something urgent." Sean opened his messages, his expression shifting. "Darling, it's an emergency. Wait for me!" Jessica nodded, and Sean rushed away-faster than he'd arrived. Somehow, Jessica followed. She watched him enter another room down the hall. Just outside, Sean's voice carried clearly: "Don't worry Tiffany, those wounds are fake."
