I shouted in despair, “She has ten years of driving experience! How could she not move? Are you out of your mind. Nelson? You believe everything she says?”
“Do you even know who was in the ambulance?” I asked.
Nelson glared at me, “I don’t want to hear your explanation. I’m taking Tiffany to see a psychologist. You need to reflect on yourself.”
In that moment, I suddenly understood. This man was blinded by his feelings.
had thought that as long as I fulfilled my duties as a wife, he would eventually come back to me.
Dnow I realized that no matter what I did or how hard I tried, his heart would never return to me.
Perhaps I should have left three years ago, then this wouldn’t have happened.
As I began to blame myself, a thought struck me: It was Tiffany who caused Mary’s death. Why should I feel guilty?
For three years, I had been trying to find reasons within myself for the rift in our relationship. Why should I shoulder all the blame?
I didn’t leave the hospital, as I still had Mary’s affairs to handle.
That evening, Nelson sent me a message saying he would take Tiffany on a trip to cheer her up and told me not to contact him.
On the day of the cremation, I called Nelson multiple times, but he hung up each time.
It wasn’t until Mary’s body was placed in the cremation furnace that I still couldn’t reach him.
In the short time that followed, Tiffany posted numerous updates on social media, showing her and Nelson lounging on beach chairs, enjoying the sea breeze.
The Captions read, “My beloved him and her, enjoying our world together.”
I knew Tiffany was flaunting her happiness in front of me. I liked each post one by one, then returned home alone, holding Mary’s urn.
Three days later, Nelson called me. “Mom needs to go to the hospital for her medication. Don’t forget.”
I feplied, “Let’s get a divorce.”
Nelson gritted his teeth, “Cara Ruskin, are you crazy? Don’t let my mom hear this; her heart can’t take it.”
If it weren’t for Mary intervening, if Nelson weren’t worried about her health, he might have already suggested a divorce,
I hadn’t confronted him either because of her health.
Now that Mary was gone, I had nothing to hold me back. “Don’t worry, she can’t hear you.”
Nelson said, “Don’t use this to threaten me. I know when to go home.”
He thought I was merely trying to pressure him into coming back. This place was no longer a home; it made no difference whether he returned or not.
“You were wrong this time. If you hadn’t scared Tiffany, I wouldn’t have spent so much time with her.”
“Think about it. I’m cleaning up your mess.”
hung up, taking Mary’s urn and leaving the house. I couldn’t stay there for another moment.
Nelson’s presence repulsed me. How could I have been so blind to marry such a man?
I rented a small apartment outside. A week later, Nelson returned. He called me, “Where did you take my mom?”
“Cara Ruskin, don’t think just because my mom likes you, you can do whatever you want. I warn you, my mom’s health is fragile. If anything happens to her won’t go easy on you.”

I replied “Tm just taking her out to relax. If you want to see her, I can bring her back now
Nelson scoffed, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.”
Not long after he hung up, I received a call from Tiffany Tiffany Nelson and I are near the Tors only with im se i nom

I said, “Neither of us is.”
With that, I hung up the call
Soon after, Tiffany began posting again, this time with a brand–new BM
It was a gift from Nelson.

Their friends joked, and Tiffany beamed with delight. Just then, Nelson sported me and walked cows, his face cak only one here?
I replied, “Mom is here too.”
