The Secret of Second Marriage

"This is my first film, it's very important to me. I can't rely on anything else now, I can only rely on my career! Shen Xing, you wouldn't understand, you wouldn't understand how desperate a woman feels when she loses her marriage and has nowhere else to turn, how desperate she is!"

I insisted.

I want to fight hard for myself, for a path that doesn't require me to rely on a man, a path that can truly support me and my daughter.

Shen Xing insisted on calling a taxi to take me to the hospital for an IV drip.

I was lying in a hospital ward receiving an IV drip.

As he stayed with me, he said, "Man, I've never told you a secret. My childhood was really tough. My mom left when I was five."

My mother is my father's first wife.

When my dad was pursuing my mom, he was a penniless, artistic young man.

My mother is beautiful, kind, and capable, and our family is well-off.

Many people are pursuing my mom.

My dad had nothing, but he bit his finger and wrote a love letter on a white handkerchief. It was a blood-stained letter, and every word in it said that he only loved my mom and would never let her down in this life!

My mom was touched...

My mother got into university, which gave her a chance to change her destiny.

But when my dad found out, he wouldn't let my mom go. He said he was afraid that after my mom finished college, she would look down on him.

To help my father overcome his inferiority complex and to allow him to pursue his dream of studying directing, she gave him his university spot and a letter of recommendation.

She gave everything for my dad, but I never expected that after he made a movie and became famous, he would have an affair. He even told the mistress that his marriage to my mom was arranged, that he didn't love her, and that he was only with her out of necessity, and that there was no affection between them.

My mom is so stupid. She couldn't think straight and overdosed on sleeping pills because of that man, trying to prove her love for him and make my dad regret it by dying.

But what good is her death? She died, and less than a year later, my dad started living with his mistress, and the following year he announced their marriage to the media.

She didn't take revenge on the scumbag who hurt her; she only took revenge on her beloved son.

After that, I lost my mother and became an unwanted child.

I remember that time our house was very lively, many people came, and they looked at me with pity, saying that it was so pitiful that I didn't have a mother at such a young age...

I was so scared, huddled in the corner.

I don't know what death is, but I know that from that day on, I completely lost my mother, could no longer feel her warm embrace, and became a child no one cared for and no one loved...

Later, I moved in with my grandparents. They liked my aunt and her children even more. I don't know how I got through my childhood.

But then I met you, Man!

Shen Xing's tears flowed uncontrollably, her eyes choked with sobs, and she continued, "From the moment I saw you, I fell madly in love with you. I want someone in this world to remember me, to understand me, instead of coming alone and leaving quietly."

I want someone to love me. I really, really... want to give you so much love...

I was lying in a hospital bed, my eyes closed, receiving an IV drip, and delirious with a high fever. In my hazy state, I heard someone whisper in my ear that they loved me.

But I no longer believe in love.

My ex-husband, I loved him so much, I gave him my whole heart and soul, what kind of ending did I get in return?

But when I heard Shen Xing recount his childhood experiences, I couldn't help but feel sorry for this young man.

I said, "Don't cry... someone will love you in the future."

I tried to raise my hand to comfort him, but I was too sleepy. I felt like I was dreaming, unable to distinguish between reality and sleep talking.

I can't help but worry about whether I'll be able to get up to film tomorrow morning. I need to get better quickly so I can go film tomorrow.

A while later, the doctor came to check on me in his white coat. He saw Shen Xing sitting by my bedside, silently holding my hand. I couldn't help but ask him, "Is she your girlfriend? You seem so concerned about her. She has a fever of almost 39 degrees Celsius. She should have come to the hospital sooner. This situation could be dangerous. If the fever spreads to her lungs and develops into pneumonia, it could leave lasting damage..."

Shen Xing said, "I'm sorry, doctor. Please save her. I don't want anything to happen to her, and I don't want her to get hurt in any way."

Shen Xing is truly a very, very good puppy...

As I was thinking about this, I fell asleep. Before I knew it, more than three hours had passed. I had been receiving IV fluids for more than three hours. The world gradually quieted down and became peaceful. I closed my eyes completely and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already past 6 a.m.

Bright light and a touch of red dawn appeared in the gray sky outside the window.

Shen Xing stayed with me at the hospital all night.

I felt like I had a high fever all night, and I was sweating profusely. But by then, the fever had slowly subsided.

Shen Xing smiled at me and asked, "Man, are you feeling better?"
