During the courtroom debate phase, after my lawyer stated the request, Adrian Gordon's lawyer started refuting point by point, showing no sign of "cooperating" at all.
The lawyer whispered to me, "Didn't you say... the defendant would cooperate? But with this stance, they're insisting that there's no breakdown in your marital relationship. The judge might side with him, and you'll have to wait for a second trial..."
A second trial would take at least three months.
But I can't wait even a single day.
Ignoring the courtroom order, I directly interrupted Adrian Gordon's lawyer, raised my hand, and stood up, saying, "Your Honor, I'm suddenly feeling unwell, may I have a few minutes' break?"
"You may have a ten-minute break, and we will resume court afterwards."
"Thank you, Your Honor."
As I walked out of the plaintiff's bench, passing by the defendant's seat, I whispered, "Adrian Gordon, can you come out for a moment?"
