Soren calledearly in the morning. “Are you sure you don’t wantto drive you there? You're still recovering
from your knee injury, you know?”
The night before, I'd told Soren about the trial so he wouldn't show up, only to findgone and blme for
not informing him earlier.
“I'll be fine. Plus, it’s better if you avoid this kind of event. I've asked sfriends to accompanyinstead.”
“Alright, I'll be waiting to hear from you.”
“Okay.”
After | hung up, the doorbell rang.
It was Jean and Cherry, who had brought a wheelchair for me, saying it would be more convenient.
It was my first tbeing pushed in a wheelchair, and | found the experience surprisingly interesting.
However, something unexpected occurred: Edward also appeared in a wheelchair. His illness must have been far
more severe than | had realized.

When we cface to face, | felt no sympathy or concern for him-only a sense of irony.
The moment Edward saw me, his expression froze in shock before shifting to one of concern. “What happened to
your legs, Taylor? Are you hurt?”
| smiled. “Just a minor injury, nothing serious. Thanks for your concern.”
Inside the courtroom, the judge appeared startled to see both the plaintiff and defendant arriving in wheelchairs.
After a brief pause, he politely inquired about our conditions.
From Edward's reply, | discovered he had just completed a round of treatment the day before and was still
physically weak. His doctor had strongly advised against his discharge, but Edward insisted on attending, leaving
him no choice but to use a wheelchair.
Ace leaned over and whispered, “Given his condition, if he presents his medical records, plays the victim, and
strongly opposes the annulment, there's a chance the judge might actually rule in his favor.”
My heart tightened. | turned to Ace and asked, “What should | do now? If the ruling is overturned, won't | have to
wait another six months to file for annulment again?”
Ace gavea slight nod and patted the armrest of my wheelchair. “Just follow his lead and play the victim too.
Women are even better at it.”
| suddenly understood what Ace meant as | looked at his expression.
This was the perfect example of a blessing in disguise. Who would have thought that my accident, which left me
in a wheelchair, could actually turn into an advantage in court?
As the trial began, things unfolded exactly as Ace predicted
Edward argued against the annulment by claiming his illness required care and that, as civil partners, we should
support each other through hardships rather than abandon one another in times of adversity.
In principle, he wasn’t wrong. However, the issue lay in his repeated disgraceful actions, each more outrageous
than the last, all widely known and impossible to hide,

| countered by presenting evidence of his infidelity, bigamy playing recordings of his threatening phone calls,
and sharing video footage of his sister attempting to drug me.

As soon as Edward finished his pitiful act, | countered each of his points clearly, logically, and with solid
evidence.
| firmly stated, “Your Honor, he is the one who first betrayed our civil partnership. When his attempts to win me
back failed, he resorted to verbal abuse and even violent threats-all of which I can prove.
“Now, the only reason he refuses to end this isn’t love but his illness. He requires long-term blood transfusions,
and due to his rare blood type, finding donors is extremely difficult.
“In the past, I've been his emergency donor. Over the past six years, I've given him countless transfusions.
Hospital records and relevant documents confirm this.
“After our relationship broke down, his family went to extrlengths to stop the annulment, even resorting to
despicable tactics to frme. | have concrete proof of their actions, supported by official police reports.
“Given his repeated misconduct, | insist on this annulment. | cannot guarantee my safety if this civil partnership
continues.”
