The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 5

Tessa was immediately taken aback by his response. Matthew was actually urging her to hurry up. How could this be? Shouldn't Matthew be finding all sorts of excuses to avoid the divorce? Or had she been misjudging the whole situation all along?

When Matthew noticed that Tessa was stunned and rooted to the spot, he said curtly, "Snap out of it and move. I really can't stand being married to you for even one more moment!" Now that his heart had been completely broken, he just wanted to cut all ties and move on.

A few passersby walked past the entrance, all casting strange glances at Tessa.

Tessa's cheeks flushed with shame. It appeared as though she was the one begging Matthew not to leave. She felt utterly humiliated and stormed toward the courthouse.

As she walked, she mumbled under her breath, "I'm the one divorcing you-"

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Matthew had already reached the counter, so she quickened her pace to join him.

Along with the divorce agreement, the two had brought their marriage certificate and ID cards. They were both adamant about ending their marriage.

After the clerk made a perfunctory attempt to dissuade them, they proceeded to finalize their divorce.

Once Matthew had gotten the divorce certificate, he hastily made his way out of the courthouse.

Tessa shouted after him, "Wait, Matthew!"

Having just finalized his divorce, Matthew was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. He paused when he heard Tessa call out to him. As he fixed a cold gaze on her, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Tessa held up the divorce certificate and said, "With this, we are officially strangers from this moment on. Before we go our separate ways, there are some things I need to tell you.

"If you find yourself short on cash, don't even bother asking me for it. If you end up jobless, don't expect me to find you a new job. And if you encounter any problems in life, don't bother begging me for help, because I won't offer it. I'm officially done with you. From now on, I'm moving on with my life!"

Although they were no longer married, she couldn't help but worry since she knew that Matthew was both penniless and unemployed.

She was anxious that Matthew would come to her for help. Hence, she had decided to give him a warning.
