Steward was poleaxed for a while but soon carelessly asked her as if what she said was a joke,"How long could you live?"
"When could she leave him for good?"he thought.
His words gave her a big hit as usual.
Nora was not sure whether her heart was still beating.She said coldly and indifferently,"Ten days."
As for Nora,the day she has a divorce with Steward,she might be dying of her cancer.
Steward wondered why she kept repeating"ten days".
Ten days is short but for him,he cant wait.
The moment he was about to ask,Nora said in a cold and stubborn way,"If you want to have a divorce before I die,you should never see Ann in ten days."
Steward was not happy about her words but he was comforted by the idea that when he finishes the eye operation,he can divorce her immediately.
He left Nora alone,and he asked his assistant Leo Smith in the car for help to lead him home.
What he did not see was that the woman behind him was huddling in great pain.She bit her lip so tight to keep from moaning that her lips started to bleed.
Nora felt like sometimes a numerous number of needles were prodding at her head or sometimes a big hammer was hitting her.Unfortunately,the image of her husband and Ann hugging appeared in her mind which made her headache worse.
She had to keep hitting her head on the ground,foolishly trying to stop her pain.
"Stomp,stomp,stomp..."
When Leo walked out of the house,he was totally surprised by Noras action."Mrs Hill,Whats the matter with you?Ill call the doctor!"
Leo was going to take out his phone but was stopped by a cold hand from Steward.
At that time,Nora looked pale with bruises all over her overhead.She was weary and wet like a person who had just come out of a swimming pool.
"I am alright.Thank you for your help."Nora said to Leo.
She stumbled toward home.
Leo did not know what was going on between them but he clearly knew that he had no right to persuade either of them to do anything.
At a restaurant in the center of the city...
Ann was meeting Nora.She said without preamble,"Mrs Hill,it has been two years since you stole Steward from me.It is time for you to leave him since he did not love you at all."
Faced with her unreasonable requirement,Nora was not frighted by her and she just asked indifferently,"Have you got divorced?"
"How did you know?"Ann did not expect her to say that.
Ann prepared a lot to say but now she kept silent since Nora had known she had been married before.
Nora kept saying,"At that time,when Stewards and my family wanted to be connected by marriage,I did not know he had already had a girlfriend.After the announcement of our marriage,you soon went to Sebroiria.On his way to the airport to get you back,Steward had a car accident and lost his eyesight."
"So I went to Sebroiria to find you only to find you were having a wedding with a man in the church."Nora added.
Ann got embarrassed and asked Nora,"Did you tell all these things to Steward?"
Nora did not answer her questions directly,"You were unwilling to come back at that moment,but now whats your real aim?"
Noras words made Ann very nervous so she took her bag and left.
"I got nothing to say."Ann said.
Nora felt sad because even if Ann had ulterior motives,she could do nothing.Few days were left for her.
When she walked out of the restaurant,Ann looked back at Nora through the window with vicious eyes."Well see,"she thought.
When Nora arrived at her home,it was already dark outside.
She noticed that the light of the study on the second floor was still on and she counted how long could she stay with Steward.Five days equals 120 hours.She did not want to be separate from him for one second.
She went upstairs quietly.When she passed the study,she was overhearing someone talking.
"Since Ann is coming back,what are you going to do?"
The voice belonged to Stewards cousin,Gabriel Miller,whom she was familiar with.
"After five days,I am going to have my eye operation."said Steward.Nora could sense his delight in his words but she felt a little sad herself.
Gabriel seemed that he could not understand Stewards act,he said with blame,"You wouldnt end up like this if you took medicine two years ago.Now you have to do the eye operation."
"I dont care.I just want to see the guilty face of that woman.It is a good way to torture her,"Steward said idly,"She deserves all these things but not a happy life."
After hearing this,Nora was totally shocked outside the door,and she could barely stand up by herself.
