During the days Darien was in the hospital, I didn't visit him again and just focused on my work instead.
When my best friend saw I was back, she asked about Darien's condition after the accident.
I gave her a brief explanation of the current situation.
"Karissa Norton, didn't you say before that if your husband's injuries were serious, you would quit your job? What are you planning to do now?" Her question pulled me back to my thoughts.
In my previous life, I was just an idiot, dedicating myself wholeheartedly to their family.
Back then, Marely and Darien played on my sense of duty and emotions, convincing me to give up a career opportunity that could have brought great success.
This became one of my biggest regrets over the next seven years.
In this life, I couldn't care less about their well-being.
I didn't even ask for a leave, throwing myself completely into my work.
My supervisor already thought highly of me, and there happened to be a promotion opportunity right in front of me. If all went well, I was confident I would seize it this time.
On the third day, Marely finally couldn't resist and called me to come over.
