But they didn't want to and said that if I waited any longer, I would become an old woman, and no one would want me. They even threatened me with their lives, saying that if I didn't agree, they'd kill themselves.
Under pressure, I had no choice but to agree.
Later, I found out that they were after Randall's family's money.
So, they couldn't wait to sell me to support their son.
If I had known earlier, I should have insisted on my own opinion.
I didn't feel the pain I had expected it. Instead, I heard Randall's screams.
I opened my eyes and saw that his body was covered in soup, and his white T-shirt was soaked already.
He trembled and cried out in pain, and the waiters, the waitresses, and the surrounding diners were somewhat at a loss for this sudden turn of events.
Someone shouted, "Call an ambulance! What are you waiting for?"
Half an hour later, I followed the ambulance to the hospital with Randall.
His parents had already learned what had happened and were waiting at the door of the emergency room.
Randall's mother, Mabel Bell, came forward and slapped me. "You wicked woman! How could you pour hot soup on Randall?"
His father, Lionel Reeves, gritted his teeth and scolded me, "I thought you were a gentle woman. But you're actually so vicious and heartless! What did Randall do to you? He's so unlucky to marry you, you shrew!"
They became more and more agitated and came forward to punch and kick me, but strangely, I didn't feel any pain.
I curled up in the corner, letting them beat me up.
The nurse couldn't bear to watch and spoke up, "Enough! She didn't touch the patient at all. He poured the soup on himself."
They didn't believe it, thinking the nurse was speaking up for me.
Mabel said to the nurse, "Yeah, right. Randall is not stupid. He knew the soup was scalding. Why would he pour it on himself?"
The nurse took out her phone and clicked on an online video.
In the video, I trembled and closed my eyes, and Randall poured the soup on himself.
Several bullet comments could be seen on the screen, saying, [What a piece of work. He poured burning soup on himself.]
[I weep for him. He can't bear to hurt his wife, but he's so ruthless to himself.]
[Don't think this is love. Such a man is terrifying. If he's so ruthless to himself, he won't be soft when it comes to his wife. I saw it clearly just now. His wife peed herself.]
I was dumbfounded.
