“1 did wish her dead!” Donna burst out, her voice trembling with emotion. “Don’t think | don’t see what you're up to. You think that
as the elder brother, it’s right that you take care of your little brother's wife and children now that he’s been blown up? You want to
divorceand then what? Slip into his shoes, playing house with her?”
Tomas fell silent.
And his silence was the last straw for Donna.
“So, this really is what you're thinking.” Donna's voice cracked, tears streaming down her cheeks, “I got it right. Haven't you
thought about how old your three children are? You still like her even now.”
In a fit of rage and disappointment, Donna grabbed the mug from the table, along with the fruit bowl, and hurled them at Tomas
with all her might.

This was the first tanyone had seen Donna lose control like this.
“You're heartless!” Donna looked at the man in front of her with desperate sorrow, and accused with intense indignation. “After all
these years I've spent on you, in your heart, I'm still less than nothing compared to her!”
He could stand to see his own brother blown up, yet he can’t bear to part from his brother's wife.
Suddenly, Donna felt that she had beca joke all these years.
Marrying this man seemed like the biggest mistake of her life!
“| hate you.” Donna's voice was a whisper, choked with sobs, her body shaking. “Tomas, | hate you, you're the coldest, most
heartless man alive. You don’t deserve a single ounce of the love I've poured out for you. You don’t deserve it!"
Tomas watched his wife breaking down, a torrent of emotions flooding him, but didn’t know how to comfort her.
“Why can you be so cruel. Why can’t you see everything I've done.” Donna's voice broke as she stumbled, nearly collapsing.
Luna and Cathy rushed up to steady her.
“Dad, you're wrong,” said Jeffrey, giving his father a disappointed look and offering his mother a tissue to dry her tears. He felt his
father had truly let everyone down.
Donna couldn't stop crying. She didn’t understand why she had given so much but couldn’t touch her husband's heart!
From junior high until now, she had devoted the best years of her life to the man before her.
She thought she was chasing the light.
But it turned out to be a false light that led her straight to hell and years of torment.

Years of grievances and heartache all burst out in this moment. Donna cried her heart out.
Shirley, out of nowhere, stepped in front of her eldest son and slapped him hard across the face. “This slap is for Donna!”
There was no more that had to be said. Tomas had married a woman but didn’t fulfill his duties and responsibilities as a husband;
his mind is preoccupied with his brother's woman—that deserved a slap!
Seeing Shirley stand up for her made Donna cry even harder.
She didn’t expect Shirley to be so understanding at this time.
“Brother, you've gone too far!” George was utterly disappointed in his elder brother. Setting aside everything else, in matters of
the heart, his brother had truly failed Donna!
Tomas, with tears welling in his eyes, looked at him and said, “When | told you to break up with her back then, you couldn't do it.
You should understand that matters of the heart can’t always be controlled.”
His heart ached too. On one hand, he felt sorry for his wife, but on the other, he couldn't control his feelings for Jennifer.
