The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 255

Hearing the news, I couldn't hold back my tears of joy.

Lana was only five years old. At such a young age, she had endured unimaginable pain and suffering.

Finally, she had a chance to find relief after all this hardship. My heart swelled with happiness for her, and I truly hoped she would overcome this challenge.

She had no family left, and I was her only brother, her last remaining relative. There was no way I would leave her to face this alone.

After finishing cooking for Abigail, I grabbed a small suitcase, preparing to pack my things and stay by Lana's side.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine. I felt a surge of tension and spun around abruptly.

Abigail stood beside me. I hadn't even noticed when she had arrived.

Her intense gaze burned into me, as though she wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words.

Her gaze made me uneasy. I mustered up a smile and said, "You're awake. I didn't want to disturb you since you seemed to be sleeping so peacefully."

Abigail blinked, offering no response. Her eyes continued to scan me from head to toe.

Feeling more uncomfortable, I tried to lighten the mood with a chuckle. "You must be hungry after waking up. I made your favorite pancakes. Do you want to try some?"

Even so, suspicion clouded her eyes.

She let out a cold laugh, her voice icy. "Why are you packing your bags first thing in the morning? Where are you planning to go?"

I smiled, masking my unease. "Abigail, don't joke with me. I'm your husband, you're my wife. Why would I leave you?"

But even after that, her eyes remained fixed on me, unyielding.

She smiled faintly, stepped closer, and looked down at me. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Samuel, I've told you before. In this lifetime, there's no divorce for me. Only widowhood."

"Before you think of leaving again, consider very carefully what will happen to you and anyone else involved," she added.

Her threat cut through me like a dagger, piercing deep into my chest.

I had no chance to react. The pain of that thorn lodged in my heart was sharp, impossible to pull out or escape.
