Chapter 2

"Do you have no sense of time? Or are you doing this on purpose?" Lucy snapped.

Sean replied calmly, "Of course not. Didn't we agree on 3 PM? I didn't expect you back so soon."

Lucy retorted, "The flight was moved up. Is that not allowed?!"

Sean said nothing. Lucy had always treated him this way, with her naturally volatile temper. So for the five years of their marriage, Sean had gone along with her wishes in everything, afraid of upsetting her. Because he loved her.

But Lucy was different. Whenever something made her happy, she would transfer money to Sean, wanting to make it clear that he only got paid if he kept her happy.

Sean went to the bedroom to pack his things. Lucy had told him yesterday that once her ex-boyfriend Chad returned, their marriage of convenience would be over. So he was being considerate by packing up now.

As he reached the stairs, Chad emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. Their eyes met, and Sean felt a stab of pain in his heart.

"What are you staring at? Do you want Chad to keep looking at you?" Lucy's harsh words came from behind. Sean's hands instinctively clenched.

Of course he wanted to leave quickly, but Chad was blocking his path with his arm, clearly not intending to let Sean pass.

Sean started up the stairs, but Chad still didn't move.

"Mr. Quinn, you haven't changed your shoes. Aren't you worried about tracking germs into the room?" Chad's provocation was blatant, but Lucy saw nothing wrong with it.

She grabbed Sean's shirt and ordered in an icy tone, "Didn't you hear what Chad said? What are you waiting for?"

Sean changed into disposable slippers. Lucy had said before that Chad was a germaphobe who didn't like others using his things.

Before coming back, Sean had slipped the organ donation form into the divorce papers. Lucy had never paid much attention to Sean, so when he handed her the documents, she barely glanced at them. Seeing "Divorce Agreement" at the top, she immediately signed.

Sean flipped to the next page - the organ donation form. He only exposed the signature line. Lucy signed without looking, just as carelessly.

With everything settled, Sean let out a small sigh.

He finished packing and was about to leave when Chad suddenly stepped in front of him.

"This mansion is so big, and Lucy's family has so many valuables. You're not..."

Chad was clearly accusing Sean of theft. Sean ignored him, but Chad continued questioning and wouldn't let him pass.

By chance, Chad bumped into the door frame. When Lucy entered, Chad was crouched on the ground holding his forehead.

Sean stood nearby, his face expressionless.

Lucy rushed over and shoved Sean aside. "Are you insane?! Why would you do that to Chad?!"

Lucy pushed Sean hard. He lost his balance and hit his head on the bookshelf. Blood immediately began seeping from the wound. Sean quickly pressed a tissue to the injury.

With leukemia, any bleeding was dangerous. Even a small cut could lead to uncontrolled bleeding or infection.
