---- After waking up in the hospital, I dared not delay any longer. I ran home in my hospital gown so I could place the protective charm under Marcus' pillow. Thad no idea if the protective charm was that powerful or whether the doctor's medicine was finally starting to take effect. Eventually, Marcus slowly began to recover. After hearing my story, he sobbed as he crouched next to me. Guilt was written all over his face. "I'm sorry, Vivian. You've suffered so much... I'll definitely keep this protective charm safe. I promise that I'll never betray you. I'll always be good to you!" As soon as he made that promise, I actually did believe him. But not long before, Rachel asked us to divorce for the fourth time because she believed that the protective charm was considered superstitious and would corrupt her baby. As for me, I was definitely a terrible person since I ---- brought the protective charm home. That was how she ended up causing trouble at home again. When Marcus shot me a questioning look, I knew he would compromise for Rachel again. The protective charm was burned on the spot. He and I even headed to the courthouse in the afternoon. Whenever I recalled this incident, my heart still ached. I suddenly felt like throwing up, so I shook Marcus' hand off in disgust. "You have the guts to bring up that protective charm. Who are you putting on a show for?"
