She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

094 Scarlett Knight

Sebastian's POV

"Mr. Fuller?" The doctor comes in with a stack of files, and I stand up.

"Uhh, no... The name is Knight, Sebastian Knight," I frown, reaching out for Scar's test result that the doctor went to get for me, "Scar... Scarlett Fuller is my wife."

She doesn't even use my name anymore? I know she changed it on the official papers but...

I never called her Mrs. Knight, like how she wanted.

With a frown, the doctor looks at me suspiciously from above his glasses, hesitating.

1 can prove it, I have got my my marriage certificate at home," Which I don't know where it is, I rub my hair in frustration. I don't like being reminded how I lost her in every little detail, "1 just want to know if she's okay, that's all." "She..." The doctor's frowning gets deeper

"You are not her husband anymore!" Just when the doctor opens his mouth, Adrian strides in with a cold tone, "Doctor, Miss Fuller doesn't want her information to be shared, especially with her EX-husband." The word "EX" stings.

"She is..." I see no point getting into this technicality argument, 1 mean no harm. I just want to know if she's alright."

"If you really cared, then you wouldn't have gone with Ava," Adrian walks up and blocks the doctor from me, "Scar is okay, no thanks to you."

I went with Ava to ask her about Liam Ryan's accusation. Of course she denied it, and I

't even think her answer matters to Scar. But I did go with her instead of Scar. The truth is, I was fraid...I was afraid that Scar would tell me she didn't want me, and being the cowardice I was, I chose flee.

"Are you two..." I ask, but the words hurt so much that I can't finish, "You love her that much?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Adrian looks over with the coldest eyes. I dropped out of fencing and he was mad at me for that for a while, but we remained friends. Never had he looked at me with such despise before.

"You need to realize I'm not the reason behind your divorce, YOU are," Adrian's words are like icicles, meaner than his strikes on the fencing field, "You want her to stay for you, but have you done anything to deserve that? You need to stop begging for what YOU want, and take a good look at yourself. If you really want any chance to be with her. My personal opinion? The best thing you can do for her is to keep your distance."

Am I that horrible to her? I just want to make amends, and the best I can do for her is to get out of her life?

"Now if you excuse me," Adrian makes gesture for please, "we have a patient's privacy to discuss."

The doctor makes no indication that he would help me, or trust my words. As ironic as it is, I have to leave the room for the doctor to talk about "my wife's situation" with another man.

The phrase "my wife" is sounding more and more illusory these days.

To think I once thought she was just throwing a tantrum, and that she would "come home" when she dissolves her anger feels so ridiculous. How arrogant was I, that I thought I could keep Ava while married to Scar, enjoy all the good about Scar at no price? No arrogance can do that. It's Scar who gave me that kind of security. She gave me the love that makes me think nothing could burn it out.

And somehow I managed to.

[I'm in the car. Whenever you are ready.] Granny text me. She came in her own car. She is summoning me because she has something to tell me.

Glancing at the doctor's office for one last time, I grab my suit and stand up, only to have the figure I missed for so long bump right into me at the corner. I wasn't thinking, and she was in a hurry. God bless that.

"Oops, sorry!" With a lively yelp, Scar jumps out of my open arms, and my whole body miss the soft touch of hers. But when she sees clearly that it's me, her look instantly turn cold with a slight surprise "Sorry," she corrects her apology to a cold one, taking a step to the side to pass me.
