More precisely, to all his biological material. If she lived with him longer, anaphylactic shock was possible. «Your whole body protested against your union with him,» Michael joked when they came out with the conclusion.
«And I didn’t even know such a thing exists,» Sarah shook her head. «Thank you. If not for you, I would have suffered longer or… been done suffering…»
Life without Jack returned Sarah to her former appearance and cheerfulness. She even began to forget that she was married to him. Michael controlled her treatment, helped her recover.
They got close quite quickly, because good people should find each other. «Sarah,» one evening at dinner, Michael pushed a small box to her. She took it, opened it, and looked at him stunned.
«Is this a ring?» «Yes, it’s a ring,» he laughed. «But I’m still married,» she spread her hands.
«Well, that’s fixable. No kids, they’ll divorce you quickly, even without his presence. Just need to file a statement.» So she did.
She didn’t know where to look for her ex-husband, so after two court sessions he didn’t attend, they divorced automatically. Sarah and Michael immediately filed an application and got married a month later. «How great that I have no allergy to you!» happy Sarah smiled, clinging to Michael.
And a few months later, there was a knock at their door. Sarah was busy, her husband went to open. «Hey, man!» Jack stood on the threshold.
His appearance left much to be desired. Overgrown with stubble, unshaven, in some old jacket, he breathed booze on Michael. «Well, hello!» Michael stood in the doorway, not letting him in.
«Well, did the old lady kick it? By my calculations, she should have long ago. Need to register the second half to myself and sell. And I’m waiting for you to call.
Forgot, huh? Didn’t change your mind about buying?» he winked at Michael. «Changed my mind.» Michael prayed to God that Sarah wouldn’t come out to them.
But that’s what happened. «Darling, who’s there?» She peeked out of the room and recoiled. «Sarah, go away, please»…
Michael looked strictly at his wife. It was pitiful to look at the ex-husband. He was stunned seeing Sarah alive and healthy, and even pregnant.
«This… how is this? This is my wife!» he even started stuttering. «No, buddy, this is my wife. And if I see you within a mile radius again, no one will ever find you.
You know, I have nothing to lose; I’ve seen a lot in life.» Quietly but firmly, Michael told him. «I’ll bury you and won’t leave a mound.»
«Understood.» Jack cowardly shrank and backed away hastily. «What, would you really bury him?» Sarah peeked out of the room and happily hugged him.
