After seven years of marriage, Cecilia Newell still couldn't erase memories of her first love.
When the car accident happened, Cecilia rushed towards her first love in the back seat, forgetting about me, who was more seriously injured in the passenger seat.
I was completely heartbroken.
So, when she handed me the divorce papers, I signed them.
I chose to step out of Cecilia's life, allowing her and her first love to find happiness together...
But eventually, she confided in me that she regretted her decision.

This was the third day since I woke up in the hospital.
In the past three days, Cecilia did not appear once.
I looked at the latest post that Lenard Russell had posted online and laughed bitterly.
That was a photo, in which Cecilia was gently feeding Lenard.
The caption said, "Cecilia, thank you for cooking for me. It's as delicious as always."
I finally understood that Cecilia didn't come because she was busy cooking for someone else.
Cecilia cooked some cereal.
We had married for seven years, but I never knew that she could cook.
Once, Cecilia and I had a fight because of Lenard. In anger, I kept drinking until I vomited blood.
The doctor said I needed to have more cereal to nourish my stomach.
Cecilia never prepared that for me voluntarily.
I stared at Cecilia's smiling side face in Lenard's post and chuckled bitterly.
I thought, "I knew it a long time ago.
"She doesn't love me."
Even during the seven years of our marriage, despite my best efforts to treat her well, I couldn't win her heart.
Cecilia repeatedly left me for Lenard.
Even though I was almost dying in a car accident, she chose to check on Lenard, who was fine.
Cecilia left me aside until the ambulance arrived.
I wondered, "What am I looking forward to now?"
I moved my finger and gave that post a like.
Then I sent a message to Cecilia.
"Come over sometime. I have agreed to the divorce."

Cecilia and I were college classmates.
The moment I saw her, I fell deeply in love with her.
In order to be with her, I relentlessly pursued her, exhausting all means.
Cecilia was beautiful, excellent, and ambitious.
But her family's financial situation was not very good.
She was from a single-parent family, and her mother had a serious kidney disease.
To provide her mother with a kidney transplant, Cecilia had no choice but to marry me and be with me.
During our seven years of marriage, her status rose step by step.
From an unknown clerk, she became a CEO.
Our relationship, however, did not improve with time.
Cecilia loved her first love as always, and she left me for him time and time again.
Cecilia became as wealthy as my family and could no longer be controlled by me.
But I didn't realize this.
I even audaciously kept provoking her first love.
On the day of the incident, I had a heated argument with Cecilia in the car because I saw her being too intimate with Lenard.
This led to her not paying attention while driving and crashing into the guardrail in the middle of the road.
