“Sarah, are you crazy? How could you attack Mom like that?”
Sarah gave no answer, only continued struggling madly. But against Robert’s strength, she couldn’t break free.
Everyone present sighed heavily. Before the kidnapping, Sarah had been fine. But since her release, she had become utterly insane.
Soon, all eyes turned toward me.
Sarah’s madness, they believed, was my fault.
“David Miller, do you see what’s happened? Because you refused to pay the ransom, the kidnappers drove Sarah insane!”
“She’s your wife! You cared more about money than her life—you’re not even human!”
“Even animals aren’t this cold-blooded!”
“Marrying you was the worst mistake of Sarah’s life.”
Faced with their accusations, I didn’t bother to argue.
My mom tried to persuade me to take back what I’d said.
She felt that refusing to pay Sarah’s ransom was already wrong.
And now, with Sarah losing her mind, to bring up divorce again was nothing but pushing her further into despair.
I shook my head. “The divorce must happen.”
“You beast!”
Linda’s pent-up fury finally exploded. She lunged at me, clawing wildly.
I dodged, and she fell hard to the ground, chipping a front tooth.
“My tooth…”
“Mom!”
