Elizabeth spotted a familiar face in the crowd–it was that woman.
She rushed over, hearing someone shout, “Stop hitting her! She’s your wife! Are you trying to kill her?”
The scene was horrifying. The man was straddling the woman, yanking her hair with one hand and punching her with the other.
You went to see a doctor behind my back? Do you have money? I told you not to get treated! You’re just a woman, a worthless life! You haven’t even given me a child, and you expect me to spend a fortune in your treatment? Are you crazy? His angry shouts made
everyone uncomfortable.
“What do you mean, a woman’s life is worthless?
Who is this uncivilized man?
“Call the police, quick!“
The woman was bleeding from her nose, lying on the ground, exhausted.
Despite people’s attempts to stop him, the man wouldn’t relent, repeatedly asking, “Are you still going to get treated? Are you still going to sneak out? Answer me!” He slapped her viciously.
The woman cried, her heart filled with sorrow.
Some people regretted not being born in today’s free society, while others regretted being alive in it.
Elizabeth felt heartbroken. Even though Amanda had told her not to interfere with patients affairs, she couldn’t ignore this. He was humiliating not just the woman on the ground but all women!
Were women inferior? W
Why should they be considered worthless?
“You are a woman, so you should be virtuous. You can’t even take care of my home, and you want me to pay for your treatment? Did I marry you to be a decoration? You weren’t like this before I married you. Look at you now, what have you become? His words were like needles piercing the woman’s heart.
“If I hadn’t married you, would I have become like this?” The woman tried to retort.
But she got a harsh slap in return. “Bitch! Shut up!”

“No one dies from leaving anyone!” Elizabeth retorted immediately
She once thought she would die if she left Alexander. But wasn’t she still living well now?
The man’s face twisted with anger. His wife had never retorted him, and his household was male–dominated. So Elizabeth’s defiance made him very unhappy.
His emotions spiraled out of control. Suddenly, he pulled out a knife, pointing it at Elizabeth, and shouted, “Get out of my way!”
Elizabeth’s expression tightened, and she immediately took a step back.
The man actually had a knife.
He pointed the knife at Elizabeth, his anger rising. “If you meddle again, I’ll stab you!”
