Everyone turned their heads around, only to see Officer Miller striding in their way with a gloomy
expression. They moved aside to make way for him, greeting him in a low voice, “Officer Miller.”
The man didn’t respond. He was infuriated.
Last night, Officer Miller caught a cold. His wife urged him to visit the hospital for a check-up today, so
he went, thinking that his wife was concerned about him. But on the way there, he felt that something
was off.
His wife wasn’t happy since their daughter came home last night. She told them that she had broken up
with Boyce.
Officer Miller thought his wife might have some tricks brewing in her mind, and as expected, she did.
After getting him to the hospital, she came to the office to stir a fight.
It made Officer Miller feel ashamed.
Mrs. Miller was afraid of her husband. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent him away to the hospital
before she came to the station.
“You…didn’t you go to the hospital?”
“Hmph! Instead of dying from illness, you’re going to infuriate me to death first. How many times have I
told you to leave the children’s matters alone? Did you ever listen to my words? Are you only going to
keep quiet when I divorce you?” Officer Miller’s face was red from anger, and no one had ever seen
him this way before. After being in a high position for many years, most people would fear him when he
got furious.
What more to say for Mrs. Miller who was a woman?
She was also scared of her husband, but fortunately, he wasn’t one to get mad often. However, she
had indeed riled him up this time around.
“What are you dreaming away about? Move!”
It was shameful for Mrs. Miller to get scolded by her husband in front of so many people, but she did
not dare to retort and could only suppress her dissatisfaction as she moved aside.
“Get back to work, everyone. Don’t stay around here.” Officer Miller ordered.
The situation wasn’t a joyful one, and it wasn’t good to meddle in their superior’s business so everyone
quickly walked away from the scene and entered the building.
“You should go back to work too.” Officer Milled said to Boyce who hadn’t left.
Boyce nodded and entered the office after everyone else.
Mrs. Miller was not happy as she did not get what she wanted and even got reprimanded by her
husband. She called out, “Boyce…”
Officer Miller threw a glare in her direction right away. It made her shook in fear for a moment and
immediately kept quiet.
Boyce pretended not to hear that and headed to his office.
“He betrayed our daughter. How can you still side him…”
“Shut up!” Officer Miller was shaking from fury at this point, “Come in with me.”
Mrs. Miller held the bag in her hand tightly and followed Officer Miller into his office, who banged the
door shut behind them. If somebody were to look closely, they can definitely see the ceiling shook a
little.
Now, she did not dare to say a word anymore and just stood by the door.
“What the hell do you want? You came here to embarrass me, you know that? Do you want me to die
an early death?” Officer Miller walked back and forth in his office with his hands on his back.
Mrs. Miller whispered, “I was just trying to do something for our daughter. Who does he think he is to
just break up as he wishes?”
That made Officer Miller stop in his tracks to stare at his wife, “What? Can’t couples in relationships
break up? Your daughter has even gotten a divorce before!”
“The divorce wasn’t her fault…”
“It doesn’t matter who was at fault, but she did go through a divorce, didn’t she? Even married couples
divorce, so why can’t people break up? Why must he marry your daughter? What’s so great about
her?” Mrs. Miller couldn’t retort to anything her husband said.
She pursed her lips and said in a soft voice, “Whose father are you? It seemed that Boyce is your son
from the way you talk…”
Officer Miller held his chest angrily, thinking to himself, ‘Why can’t I get my words through to this
woman?’
“Are you trying to enrage me to death?” Officer Miller slammed his palm to the table vigorously, “How
much have I sinned in my past life to be married with such an unreasonable woman like you?!”
Mrs. Miller didn’t feel that she was at fault at all. Upon seeing how mad her husband was, she didn’t
restrain herself anymore and fought back, “I know you look down on me. You wouldn’t have married me
back then if it wasn’t for your father. You still don’t love me after so many years.”
Officer Miller felt a wave of heat rushing into his head. It made him dizzy.
He had long accepted his fate after so many years. It was good enough for him that she gave birth to
their daughter and took care of the family. He treated her well too, so why was she bringing those
things from the past up again now?
Officer Miller felt that he had lived his life in vain!
He gasped hard, “You! You, you must be trying to piss me off to death. You want me gone, don’t you?”
“Isn’t what I said correct? Would you have married me if it wasn’t because of your father?”
“We’ve been married for decades. Why does it matter now?! Ah --!” Officer Miller clutched his heart,
feeling suffocated and out of breath. Mrs. Miller rushed to him and patted his back, “What’s
happening…”
Officer Miller shoved her away, “You’re going to piss me off to death!”
He beat his chest, thinking to himself, ‘How did he get himself involved with such a woman?’
She was going to keep going until he was dead!
“I’m just patting your back, why is that pissing you off?” Why are you so ungrateful? I only looked for
Boyce because I wanted to get justice for our daughter! Since you can’t lecture him because you’re his
superior, I’ll do it! Who do you think I’m doing it for? Is it not for our daughter? You’re the one who is on
the wrong side…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Officer Miller had passed out from anger.
“Ah! Honey!” Mrs. Miller was shocked, “Somebody! Somebody help!”
Soon, the door to his office was pushed open. When the other officers saw that Officer Miller had
fainted, they quickly carried him into the car to send him to the hospital.
Mrs. Miller followed from behind, “Should we call the ambulance instead?”
“We’ll need to wait if we called for the ambulance. It’s quicker if we just send Officer Miller to the
hospital now.”
She agreed and quickly helped to put her husband in the backseat of the car. She put his head on her
lap, urging, “Hurry up.”
“Yes, madam. Sit tight.”
The car soon rushed into the streets.
Not long later, the car parked at the entrance of the hospital. At this time, a taxi stopped nearby them
too.
