Chapter 2
I moved my body with difficulty and reached for Antonio’s phone on the bedside table.
He always silenced his phone in order not to disturb my sleep.
Once, his shareholders complained about him not focusing enough on the work. Even his work was delayed.
He said with a cold face, “In my heart, work can’t compare with Grace at all.”
Absurdly, I turned on his phone only to find that he had muted my notification.
Jessie’s contact information was placed at the top.
For years, people all said that he was in deep love with his wife and that I didn’t deserve his love.
But in fact, Antonio didn’t love me at all.
I watched their chat history in pain.
Every time he told me he’d go abroad for work, he was actually comforting Jessie, who was upset about her experiment.
They went skydiving and took a hot spring bath together.
In their photos, Jessie looked at the camera while Antonio fixed his eyes on her.
While I was having an examination alone, Antonio was cooking

for Jessie.
The first time he’d do after coming home was to send a message to Jessie, “I love you.”

Then, he’d feign affection and hold me in his arms, confessing how much he missed me while he was out.
I fell for his lies and didn’t want to wake up.
I even ignored the fact that he had never brought me a gift, even though he claimed that he missed me.
Jessie’s latest message said that her experiment result wasn’t going well.
The medicine didn’t work well, so she hoped my paralysis could be more serious.
Antonio agreed.
Their conversation just made my hair curl and my hand sweat.
Unknowingly, tears streamed down my cheeks.
Every time I took the experimental drug, Antonio would congratulate Jessie.
Then, he’d buy something from the auction to congratulate her on making progress on her experiment.
But what did he give me?
The flowers were deserted by Jessie, the high heels were loathed by her, and the freebie that went with the pricey jewelry Antonio bought for her.

It turned out that I only deserved some trash in Antonio’s mind.
This was his love for me.
It was merely his trap woven with insincerity.
I swallowed down the blood and felt gradually disheartened.
The next day, Antonio took me home instead of forcing me to stay in the hospital.
“Grace, it’s depressing in the hospital. You won’t feel happy if you stay there for too long.
“I’ve hired a medical expert to treat you at home.”
I was full of confusion.
Then, I took a tumble as I saw Jessie smiling on the sofa.
She wanted to join the experiment on her own instead of waiting in the lab.
As expected, Antonio showed concern for me actually to help. Jessie with her experiment.
His concern for me was merely an illusion to brush me off.
“Grace, you look like you don’t wanna see me, don’t you?”
Jessie leaned toward Antonio and pursed her lips.
Antonio had never yelled at me before, but this time, his face darkened. He said coldly, “Grace, where are your manners?
‘Jessie, especially, come here for you. Don’t go too far!”

How could I compare with his actual love?
I replied through gnashed teeth, “It’s my bad. Of course, I’m happy that Jessie is here.”
Antonio’s anger finally subsided.
He caressed my hair with a smile as if treating a pet.
“Be good. You must cooperate with Jessie on the treatment so that you can get well soon.”
But how could I possibly get well with them around me?
