Seeing that I remained silent, Jane's tone became colder.
"I've already apologized. What else do you want?"
"I want nothing but a rest. I just felt tired."
"Yannick, can you stop making a fuss out of nothing? You know Matt is suffering from heart disease. Can't you make compromises and treat him better?"
I was amused.
Because of Matthew's heart disease, he could always get Jane away from me with just one phone call.
But what did another man's illness have to do with Jane's relationship with me?
Jane and I had quarreled countless times for Matthew's sake. Now, I was too exhausted to argue with her anymore.
I looked at Jane calmly without saying anything.
Jane froze and fell silent.
I took the opportunity to shake off her hand and walked further away.
Looking at my receding back, Jane felt a sense of loss but did not take it to heart. Instead, she picked up the phone and called her assistant.
"Shawn, contact the best oncologist in the country for consultation in surgery on Yannick's mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone impatiently.
If her patience with me could last for just one more second, nothing would have happened next.
