If He Died

James closed his eyes and then opened them. Looking at the white pills all over the ground, he felt weak. Without looking up, he said, "How can I believe you?" Elizabeth once again went up and grabbed his hand, crying, "What I said is true. I really don't love him anymore, and I haven't contacted him for so long. Trust me. As for the pills, I've really stopped eating them... In the past, I... was too selfish indeed, and I didn't tell you about that, but later I really didn't eat the pills anymore. I don't know why I'm not pregnant, believe... me..." She grabbed him with trembling hands, and her hands were white and cold. James lowered his eyes and looked at her hands. With her hands, she had drawn the most vivid portrait for him, had cooked the most delicious dishes for him, and had hugged him tightly... For a moment, he suddenly thought, "Just forget it. I have lost my temper, and she has apologized, so we can let it go and forget this matter. I can pretend that nothing has happened and I didn't find anything in the drawer. I can be humble, as long as we can live happily with her like before." However, this thought only lasted for a few seconds. Just as he wanted to forgive her, he suddenly thought of her disgusting deception, and... she might be with Theodore again after plotting against him. As soon as he thought of this, he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe. He only felt that his heart seemed to be squeezed by someone, and his whole body was in great pain. He couldn't stand it anymore, shook off her hands with all his strength, and roared, "I can't believe you!" To hell with the trust!  Elizabeth staggered. Just as she was about to say something again in panic, James threw the empty bottle on the ground fiercely. "Bang! The sudden loud noise made Elizabeth quiver with fear and tremble even more. The bottle bounced on the ground, splashing a white pill on the ground. The pill sprang and hit Elizabeth's calf. Elizabeth's leg couldn't help but tremble. After that, the bottle spurted and then fell in the furthest corner. After rolling on the ground, it became still, like a big and silent joke. "James..." "What are you going to do next? Huh?" Staring at her, he endured the pain in his heart and said all his strength, "Are you going to divorce me soon?" He had asked such a question just now. In such a short period of time, he had considered the possibility of this matter. However, when he asked this question again, what he felt was not only pain, sorrow, and helplessness. At this moment, he felt that he was about to die. Really, if she said yes or nodded slightly, he might... really jump off the building immediately.  If he died, his heart wouldn't hurt like this, right? If he died, he wouldn't need to think about anything and wouldn't be so desperate. His eyes were so sore, and he wanted to cry. Even his throat tightened and ached so much as if he had been choked on an egg.  Suddenly, he felt wet on his face. He was stunned for a moment and then raised his hand to wipe his tears like a puppet... He looked at the hot tears on his palm in disbelief, feeling sadder and sadder. At worst, they would divorce. Wasn't it just a simple matter of signing their names in the agreement? Why did he actually cry disgracefully? Elizabeth listened to his words and stared at the white pills on the ground. She opened her misty eyes wide and felt that his words were like a sharp knife that cut her off again and again.  Divorce? She had never thought about it. No, she had thought about it before, because they didn't love each other at that time. She was afraid that he would leave her after he helped her take back all the things she wanted. After all, she was not excellent. She was also afraid that the woman he liked would suddenly come back, and then he would leave her without looking back. At that time, they were only a pair of strangers who suddenly got a marriage certificate.  But later, they were no longer strangers, weren't they? While living together and getting along with each other, she fell in love with him, and he... also fell in love with her. Everything was fine, so why should they divorce? She didn't want to divorce him, and she didn't dare to think about how her future would be like if she couldn't be with him. As long as she thought that she might live without him... she would feel so painful and couldn't breathe. If she broke up with him, her future would be so bleak. Elizabeth endured the fear in her heart, ignored the sombre feeling and kept shaking her head, "No... I don't want that..." She didn't want to divorce him at all. She looked up at James and said, "James, please don't do this... I won't divorce you..." James exhaled heavily, and he seemed to feel a little better. He didn't know if it was because she didn't want to divorce. "You won't divorce me? Then I'll aim at Theodore's company. You don't have any objections, do you?" He said these words in a light tone. He was just like a man who had lost all his strength after walking tens of thousands of kilometres and could only speak in a low voice. Elizabeth opened her mouth, "What?" Her body tensed and she was so nervous, for fear that he would say something that she couldn't accept. James's heart, which had relieved a little, suddenly sank when he saw her nervous look. It turned out that he had thought too much. She still liked Theodore... After living for thirty years, he had become so successful. He was rich and powerful, and everyone envied him. But, what was the point of this? Even if he had lots of money, his heart was empty. What was the use of owning so much wealth? In fact, he was nothing but just a big joke. She didn't want him to aim at Theodore's company? Fine! He must let her see what would happen after she annoyed him! He took two steps forward and stood in front of Elizabeth. His eyes were deep and apathetic, and he looked like evil from hell.  Elizabeth's heart trembled. Just as she was about to say something, James said indifferently, "Today, I'll tell you clearly. Whether you... love me or not, I don't care. What's more, I don't mind if you still like Theodore. But, divorce? No way! I said that I have no intention of divorcing since I've got married, so I must delay your d*mn plan!"
