"Just because of a dog?"
I felt a sharp pain in my heart for a moment,and then interrupted him coldly,"Ethan,it's not just a dog.She's a family member who has accompanied me for three years!"
"She was also Lily's life,but you have personally took her away!"
Ethan was obviously angry.His face grew cold and said throught gritted teeth,"Fine,great."
"Clarissa Jones,you aksed for it,don't regret it!"
I turned around,but something was thrown at me from behind and cut my face.
I took a closer look.
It was our wedding ring.
Ethan's voice came from behind:"Take your ring and get out!"
"Clarissa Jones,you'd better not come and beg me for forgiveness later!"
I didn't pick up the ring.I just kicked it down the stairs.
I went home and sat beside Daisy's body in a daze for a whole night.
When dawn came,the pain on my face was still very sharp.I looked at myself in the mirror.Ethan didn't hold back his strength,and my face was swollen badly.
But I didn't have time to deal with this now.I simply put some powder on the red and swollen area to cover it up,and then immediately picked up Daisy's body and drove to the funeral home.
Tintin was cremated together with my sister.
The two urns were buried together under a squaretombstome,and I stayed with them until it was dark.
When I got home,Ethan was already sitting on the sofa.
He looked at me coldly and asked,"Where were you?"
I didn't look at him and went straight into my room to pack my things.
But he suddenly rushed in and grabbed my wrist angrily,saying,"Why didn't you answer my call today?"
He looked at the clothes piled in my suitcase,and the anger in his eyes seemed to flare up even stronger.
"You're leaving?"
I said indifferently,"We're getting a divorce.Why should I continue staying here?"
Ethan,however,cut me short in a low voice:"Clarissa Jones,do you really want to get a divorce?"
"Mind you,it's always me who has been treating Lily.She has already developed a dependence on me!"
"What will happen to Lily if you're making a fuss about getting a divorce now!"
I raised my eyes to meet his gaze,and that ragethat had been quelled before now burned up again.
I broke free from Ethan's grip and shouted,"Get out!You don't deserve to mention Lily!"
"When you secretly took Daisy away,did it ever occur to you that Lily would have go into depression?"
"Doesn't Lily rely onDaisy just as much as she relied on you!"
"Ethan,do you know that your indifference killed my sister!"
As I said this,my voice became choked with sobs."Lily was the only family member I had in this world..."
Ethan was stunned for a while.When he saw my desperate expression,panic flashed crossed his face.
But soon he frowned again.
"Clarissa Jones,Lily being your sister is not an excuse for your hysterics."
"I know it was wrong of me to take Daisy away without saying anything first,but you shouldn't use Lily's life as a joke either!"
"Moreover,in Lily's condition,just losing a dog wouldn't have caused her to have an episode,would it?"
"Lily's a lot better now.She's not a state where she would have just an episode like you said any more."
I smiled sarcastically.Since Sophie came back,she always had many excuses to make Ethan stay out all night.
Ethan came home less and less often.
He was so rarely at home that not only he didn't have the time to treat Lily anymore,it was just impossible for him to notice Lily's worsening condition.
From a long time ago,Lily's illness had already started to deteriorate.
She wanted to hurt herself more and more often,but I along with Daisy stopped her every time.
And Ethan,who only cared about Sophie,couldn't see any of this at all.
Lily wasn't as strong as he thought she was.She was as fragile as a piece of broken glass.
I slowly approached Ethan and asked quietly,"Ethan,do you remember the last time you had a session Lily?"
"It was three months ago."
"For three months,have you for once actually cared about her condition?"
