---- landed squarely across my face. Everything spun for a moment. His face blurred in front of me, but his voice rang loud and clear in my ears. "So what if Scarlett's my fiancée? So what if we have a child? She's gentle and understanding. Not like you-crying at every little thing, always causing trouble, using cheap tricks to bully people. Anna, you disgust me. You have three seconds. Apologize to Scarlett." My vision cleared just enough to see him standing there, holding her tightly in his arms. His eyes were like ice, filled with contempt-for me. People downstairs had started to gather, whispering behind their hands, staring up at us. "] didn't push her," I said to him. "She fell on her own." "You think I'd believe that? I saw it with my own ---- eyes!" His voice was thick with rage. "You're just jealous of Scarlett. Apologize now, or I'm not marrying you!" I laughed. "Dennis, do you know how many children, how many people in disaster zones, need us-need doctors like us to save their lives? I regret coming back for you. My time should've gone to something that mattered." And with that, I turned and walked away. This time, I didn't shed a single tear for him. This time, I was leaving for good.
