Hoang and I have been married for more than ten years. We have a son who is in elementary school, obedient, polite. Thinking that the marriage journey would be stable, unexpectedly, Hoang changed. He often makes excuses to be busy, comes home late, and his eyes are cloudy when I ask.

Once, by chance, I saw in his vest that he had forgotten a hotel bill, along with a strange lipstick. My heart ached, but I didn’t make a noise. I understand, the more hurried you are, the more you have a reason to deny. I quietly observed, and also quietly planned.

The culmination was the day I found out that Hoang secretly took a bank card in my name. That is the card I still use to save money for my child’s education. I immediately went to the bank to lock the whole thing. I knew that soon he would be needed, and then the truth would come out.

Just as I expected, in the middle of the night that night, my phone rang repeatedly. The caller called the doctor:
– Are you Mr. Hoang’s wife? He and a girl had just been taken to the emergency room because of overexhaustion during the… friendly. Currently, the hospital needs family members to come urgently to do the procedure.

I was stunned but kept my voice calm:
“Yes, I’ll come right away.

When I was there, the scene in front of me made me chill. Hoang was lying on the hospital bed, sweating like a shower, his face pale. Next to him, a young girl – apparently the “green tea” he was sneaking back and forth – was in a similar state, breathing heavily, with a pale nose.

Seeing me enter, both of them immediately trembled. Huang tried to say forcefully:
“I… Why are you here?

I didn’t answer, just crossed my arms and looked straight.

The doctor brought a piece of paper:
– The initial treatment advance is 60 million. Mr. Hoang gave her bank card, but the system was locked. Unable to swipe. If we don’t close it immediately, we can only hold it back.

Both Huang and she were transformed. Hoang stammered and turned to me:
“You… Open the card, I beg you…

The other girl burst into tears, her voice trembling:
“I don’t have any money… Mr. Hoang promised to take care of…

I laughed, a sour smile:
“Worried? He’s worried about my child’s school money, right? It’s a pity, even now, the two of them only think about money, not the consequences they cause.

Hoang raised his hand to grab me, but the infusion line pulled him down. His eyes were panicked, both scared and regretful. He shouted, his voice hoarse:
“Don’t leave me… save you with…

I stood up straight, looked at him, looked at the girl who was crying beside me, and then said decisively:
“From now on, I have nothing to do with your and her’s affairs. I have prepared the divorce papers. Tomorrow I will take you away. You should stay here and pay the price for your betrayal.

After speaking, I turned and walked away. Behind him, Hoang’s cries and “green tea” echoed throughout the hospital corridor. But I didn’t stop.

Outside, the night wind was bitterly cold, but I felt that my heart was brighter than ever. I knew that I had just removed a toxic tumor in my life. I have no room for meaningless tears.

Tomorrow, my child and I will start again – a new life, hard but pure, free of lies and betrayals.

As for Hoang, he will have to remember that moment forever: when both he and his mistress cried in despair, because the woman he once loved with all his heart turned away and decisively left.
