Summary
The day Lu Yanzhou had his car accident, the hospital called and asked me to sign the consent form.
“Then stop treatment,” I said. “I’m helping our daughter with her homework.”
It wasn’t that I was heartless.
I didn’t know his bank PIN. I didn’t know his phone passcode. I didn’t even know how much he earned. Where was I supposed to get the money for surgery?
For ten years of marriage, he’d fed me a fixed household allowance like seed to a caged canary.
Everyone called me cold.
Until Lu Yanzhou woke up and discovered that the wall of secrecy he’d so carefully built had been blown apart by three words: “I don’t know.”
“Jiang Tang,” he said, “could you act normal for once?”
I rolled my eyes. “Normal? How about giving me the Wi-Fi password first?”
