Go Away!Disgusting Ex-husband

My husband's dream girl posted on Instagram.

"God, please help me find a burly caring man!"

Seeing this, my husband left his mother alone in the mall.

His mother, namely my motherinlaw, had just come downtown from the countryside and didn't know how to take the escalator, so she accidentally put her foot into the gap of the escalator.

I rushed to the hospital after receiving the news that my motherinlaw had injured an artery in the accident and was bleeding heavily. She needed amputation to save her life.

I urged her to have surgery immediately.

However, she was frightened by such treatment and flatly refused to undergo surgery.

"Where's my son? How dare you wicked woman want to chop off my leg? I'll never have the surgery unless my son comes!"

I called my husband more than a dozen times, only to hear a sweet female voice when I finally got through.

"Hello, your husband is showing me his biceps with a barbell in his hands... He might even perform breaking a rock with his pecs later..."

I interrupted her angrily, "Hurry up and get him to the phone! Mom had an accident and rejects surgery unless she sees him!"

Nathan Cooper chimed in coldly, "Your mother had an accident, but does it have anything to do with me?"

He ruthlessly hung up on me. When I called again, his phone was already powered off.

Soon, my motherinlaw died because of the delay in treatment.

Three days later, Nathan returned home. He didn't remember to ask about his mother until he felt the room empty.

"Where's my mom?"

I replied in a cold voice, "In the portrait on the wall!"

To celebrate his mother's 60th birthday, my husband brought her from the countryside and took her shopping in the mall.

Unexpectedly, Nathan saw a post from his dream girl, Antonia Samuels.

"God, please help me find a burly caring man!"

Nathan thought this was a rare opportunity for him, so he left his mother alone in the mall and hurried to see Antonia without hesitation.

It was the first time my motherinlaw had ever come downtown from the countryside, so she didn't know how to take the escalator in the right way and accidentally put her foot into its gap in a daze when going downstairs.

As a result, a serious accident occurred.

I took leave and rushed to the hospital immediately after learning about this. I saw my motherinlaw lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and an extremely frightened look.

"Go away, all of you!

"Where's my son? Tell him to come back!"

The doctor pulled me aside and explained to me in a serious tone how severe my motherinlaw's injuries were.

"The injured requires amputation without delay if we want to save her life.

"But she is adverse to the approach of medical staff, we need her family members to persuade her as soon as possible!

"If we delay any further, I'm afraid it may be too late, and her life may be in danger then!"

My dad was also a doctor, so I knew the scientific rigor of doctors.

Only by listening to the doctor could one minimize the harm.

Without any hesitation, I ran into the ward at once to comfort my motherinlaw and urge her to immediately undergo surgery.

When my motherinlaw saw me, however, she just flared at me.

"You wicked woman want to chop off my legs! You are in cahoots with them against me!

"Where's my son? I want to see him!

"If my son doesn't come, don't ever think you can trick me into having any surgery!"

My motherinlaw was very resistant to the surgery treatment.

She still insisted that she wouldn't undergo it and she should see her son Nathan even though her leg and foot were already bleeding heavily.

She persisted in rejecting the operation unless her son was present.

With no other way, I could only call my husband frantically.

After more than a dozen missed calls, Nathan finally answered.

A leisurely and soft female voice came from the other end of the line before I could utter anxiously.

"Hello, your husband is showing me his biceps with a barbell in his hands... He might even perform breaking a rock with his pecs later..."

There was even a giggle as she spoke.

Amid her voice, I could also hear a man's heavy breathing.

"Toni, who's calling?"

I froze.

It was Nathan's voice.

Nathan had promised to take his mother to shop at the mall for clothes to wear at her birthday celebration.

But his mother had ended up wandering around the mall alone and accidentally getting into an accident.

I had thought that he was occupied with something urgent and unshirkable.

Out of all my expectations, he had just gone to hang out with Antonia.

At the thought of this, I raged, "Mom got into an accident and doesn't agree to surgery unless she sees you!"

Halfway through my demand that he should come to the hospital right away, I heard a snorting laugh from the other end of the line.

Then, Nathan's cold voice came.

"Your mother had an accident, but does it have anything to do with me?"

Just as I wanted to say something else, Nathan had already become extremely impatient.

"Jane Fenn, I'm busy with something important right now. You'd better stop bothering me! Just wait until I get home if you have anything to say."

He ruthlessly hung up on me. When I called again, his phone was already powered off.

I was in deep anxiety like a cat on hot bricks.

Just when I was trying to figure out how to find Nathan, I suddenly received a call from the hospital.

"Mrs. Cooper, your motherinlaw is at her last gasp. Come and see her for the last time."

I felt my heart skipped a beat.

I rushed to the hospital immediately.

My motherinlaw was ashen and bloodless.

She lay on the hospital bed, lonely, still murmuring her son's name.

"Nat, Nat..."

Although I was not close to my motherinlaw at all, I couldn't help but tear up at the sight of this and step forward to hold her hand.

"Mom, I'm sorry.

"I failed to let Nathan come..."

My motherinlaw glared at me.

"You must have hidden my son... I..."

Before she could finish her words, in a fit of rage, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and soon died.

I had mixed feelings.

Until the last moment of her life, my motherinlaw still thought that her son was a dutiful one and that he didn't come because I deliberately stopped him.

In truth, however, Nathan was keeping his dream girl company, eagerly simping over her.

I made up my mind the moment my motherinlaw breathed her last.

I took out my phone and sent a message to Nathan.

"Let's get a divorce."

The hospital had limited space, so I was informed that I should take my motherinlaw's body back.

I still couldn't get through to Nathan, so I handled my motherinlaw's funeral alone and chose a good graveyard for her with fatigue.

After three sleepless days, I finally managed to finish everything.

I printed out a divorce agreement and curled up on the sofa, waiting for Nathan to come back. I had just fallen asleep when I heard the sound of the door being unlocked outside.

Nathan was back.

As soon as he walked in, he smelled of strong perfume.

"Jen, cook me some spaghetti. I'm hungry."

Nathan habitually left an order before he took off his coat and went to take a shower.

He always liked to order me around like this.

Considering that he was busy at work, I often helped him with whatever he needed.

But I didn't move this time.

When he finished his shower and came out wrapped in a bath towel, he immediately frowned after a subconscious glance at the empty dining table.

"Jane Fenn, where's the spaghetti?"

I knew he was going to get mad whenever he called me by my full name.

I used to believe that a harmonious relationship required some compromises even if I had to sacrifice myself.

That was why he had become the way he was now.

But now I was tired.

"Go make what you want to eat yourself. I don't have the energy."

I could hear my voice was frigid and emotionless.

Nathan was stunned, looking at me silently in his bathrobe.

I slightly propped myself up and picked up the divorce agreement from the coffee table.

"It's been three days. You should have read my message. Sign it when you have time, and we'll go through the divorce procedures."

Nathan cast a cold glance at the divorce agreement.

Then, he uttered a snorting laugh.

"Jane Fenn, when did you learn to play hard to get?"

He sounded like he was often treated this way by someone else.

I gave him no reply and didn't bother to ask him anything.

After all, we would soon become strangers.

"We are solid. Why do we need a divorce?"

Faced with my silence, Nathan softened his tone slightly.

He sat down next to me on the couch and tried to comfort me.

"I was busy with something important when you called me a few days ago. That's why I sounded a little impatient with you. I'm sorry, honey."

I looked up at him coldly and asked flatly, "So, is showing Antonia Samuels how to break a rock with your pecs what you call an important matter?"

Nathan was rendered speechless for a while.

Instead of explaining, he tried to change the topic.

"Toni and I are just ordinary friends. As for you, I saw you get into your boss' car two days ago, yet you still told me nothing was going on between you and him!"

As he spoke, he picked up the divorce agreement and tore it to pieces.

"Why are you in such a hurry to divorce me? Are you so eager to get rid of me and be with your boss?"

I was so angry that I slapped him.

"It's you who have no idea how to keep your distance from others, yet now you are still trying to pass the buck, aren't you?

"It was raining heavily that day, and I couldn't get a cab anywhere. You promised to pick me up, but you were nowhere to be found even after I waited at the downstairs of my office building for two hours!

"The boss gave me a ride just because he felt sorry for me!"

My eyes turned misty.

It had been raining heavily that day.

But Nathan had stood me up because of a phone call.

A call from Antonia.

She had complained that she was eager for spaghetti but without anyone to keep her company.

Immediately after Nathan heard this, he had asked her where she was and had left me waiting in the heavy rain, going to eat spaghetti with her.

I didn't know how he had the nerve to accuse me now.

Hearing what I said, Nathan came to his senses, at a loss for what to do.

"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't know..."

He came forward intending to wipe my tears but was pushed away by me.

"It doesn't matter that you tore up the divorce agreement. I'll go and make a new copy. Anyway, I must divorce you."

I stood up coldly and walked toward the study.

When I came out with another copy of the divorce agreement, I saw Nathan searching throughout every bedroom in the house.

Standing in the living room, he asked, "Jen, where is my mom?"

I couldn't help but laugh coldly in my heart.

How bovine he was.

I couldn't believe he didn't notice that his mother was missing until now, but it had already been such a long time since he returned home.

My motherinlaw's suitcase still lay unopened in the guest bedroom, and the specialties she had brought from the countryside were still in the refrigerator.

But she was gone.

I stared at Nathan without saying a word.

He just kept talking to himself.

"Is my mom mad at me? I admit that it was my fault for leaving her alone at the mall that day.

"But it was a special case at that time. I had no other choice.

"Jen, can you let my mom come back? I'll apologize to her."

Nathan walked toward me slowly, his voice almost pleading.

"I searched the whole house but didn't find Mom. Tell me, where on earth did she go?"

I turned to look at the memorial portrait hanging on the wall on the balcony side.

I pointed at it and said, "In the portrait on the wall."

Nathan was stunned.

He followed my gaze toward the balcony. The instant he saw the memorial portrait, he knitted his brows tightly.

Nathan strode over, roughly dragged down the portrait of my motherinlaw from the wall, and furiously threw it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Jane! I know you are mad at me, but you don't have to play such a prank on my mother, do you?

"My mother is alive and well. What do you mean by putting a memorial portrait here? Do you want my mother to die so much?"

I watched helplessly as the only portrait of my motherinlaw was smashed to pieces.

There was water splashed on her face in the photo.

It just seemed like she was shedding tears.

I was silent for a long while before I slowly looked up.

"Nathan Cooper, you were the one who took your mother out. She's your mother, not mine, yet you can't even be bothered to take good care of her and just came to ask me about her.

"I haven't slept for three days. Why do you think I know where your mother is?

"Don't you claim to be a dutiful son? Go find her yourself then!"

Hearing my firm and flat tone, Nathan gazed at me in a daze.

"Jane, what's your problem? Why are you so irritable today?"

I couldn't help laughing coldly.

Normally, he was allowed to throw a tantrum at will, point at my nose, order me around bossily, stay out all night with his dream girl, and come back to tell me that they were just ordinary friends.

Now I was just telling the truth without any abuse, but I got criticized for having a problem.

I was accused of irritability.

What a double standard.

I didn't reply to him. I just turned around, picked up the pen, and signed my name on the divorce agreement without further ado.

Then, I walked into the bedroom, packed my stuff, and prepared to leave with my baggage.

I only left a few sentences before leaving.

"I've already signed the divorce agreement. I suggest you sign it as soon as possible.

"Go through the divorce procedures with me when you have time. If you are really so busy, that's fine. I'll file for divorce.

"No matter what you say, we must divorce."

With that, I left without looking back, however angrily Nathan shouted my name behind me.

I checked into a small hotel that only cost 60 dollars a night with my suitcase.

I had moved out in a hurry, but I didn't plan to rent a house.

I was considering applying for a post at my company's headquarters after I put my motherinlaw's affairs in order and completed the divorce procedures.

Then, I would get away from here and start a new life in Aquav, a seaside city where the headquarters was located.

The night I finished dealing with my motherinlaw's affairs, I texted Nathan.

"Your mom was buried in St. Maria Graveyard. Go take a look at her."

Anyway, I had delivered the message, whether he believed it or not.

The next day, I hesitated for a long while but finally decided to lay a wreath on my motherinlaw's grave.

No matter what, her son and I were about to get divorced, so it was my final farewell to her.

I had just placed the flowers on her grave when I looked up and saw a familiar couple.

It was Nathan and a girl who dressed up gorgeously by his side, holding a white puppy in her arms.

"Nat, do you think our dog would dislike being buried here? What if he gets bullied by the deceased buried here?"

"Don't worry. I'll dig the grave for him myself and put some herbs there to keep the ghosts away from him."

Nathan comforted Antonia with a gentle smile.

As I looked up, Nathan noticed me and immediately furrowed his brow.

"Jane Fenn!

"You're going too far. You not only play the trick of running away from home but also stalk me."

His loud accusations attracted many passersby to rubberneck.

I didn't want to cause any trouble, but just as I turned around and was about to leave, Antonia stopped me.

"I've seen you before. I think your name is Jane Fenn, isn't it?

"You're Nat's wife, right?"

Antonia's eyes and brows were curved into sweet arcs when she smiled, making her a beautiful girl in men's dreams. No wonder Nathan was so obsessed with her that he would rather keep her company than be with his mother.

I uttered in a distant voice, "I will no longer be very soon."

Antonia didn't care in the slightest about the indifference in my tone.

She just stretched her neck to glance at the grave behind me and asked with a smile, "I think you're here to pay your respects to an elder buried here. Is that your mother's grave?"

I sneered, "No, it's my motherinlaw."

Antonia turned to look at Nathan in surprise and asked, "Is your mother dead? Why haven't you told me about it?"

Nathan clenched his fist and slapped me hard.

He growled at me coldly, "Jane Fenn, enough!

"Your joke is way out of line! Why do you just not know when to stop?"

An intense feeling of powerlessness filled my heart.

I couldn't be bothered to explain because he just wouldn't believe me anyway.

Expressionless, I said, "You have the contact information of the doctors at the hospital. Why don't you call them and ask about your mother's condition? Then, you'll know."

Nathan let out a cold laugh.

He took out his phone and snapped, "Jane, since you are so shameless, I might as well play this act with you to the end.

"Let's see how you'll end up!"

The call was soon connected.

Nathan curved his lips into a cold and smug smile.

He asked the doctor on the other end of the phone, "Dr. Jackson, Jane said my mother was hospitalized in your hospital a few days ago. Did she tell you to put on an act with you to fool me?"

Nathan had a sinister yet expectant look on his face.

He seemed to be waiting for me to be exposed.

But to his surprise, he just heard a heavy and solemn sigh from the other end of the line.

"Nathan, why do you call me so late?

"On the day your mother had an accident, I frantically called you over 20 times, but you never answered. Where were you?

"Your mother passed away a week ago."
