Chapter 1

The year was 1983. The sun had set. It was dark outside. Only one dim light was in the Foster family’s living room. “Dad, Mom, I’m willing to live abroad with you.”When they heard their daughter’s words through the phone, Philip York and Angela York were moved to tears of excitement. “That’s great, Joy. If it weren’t for that earthquake, we wouldn’t have been separated for so many years. We never abandoned you on purpose, really. We’ll come pick you up right now.”When she heard her biological parents weeping, Joy Foster felt her heart clench in pain. She sucked in a deep breath to calm herself down. “Give me another two weeks. I still need to take care of some matters here. Once I’m done, I’ll go over to where you two are and keep you company.”Her parents seemed to have been reminded of something. “You’re right. How silly of us. No matter what, the Foster family took care of you for years. I heard that your adopted brother has always doted on you, so you do need to say good...

Chapter 2
Right when Martha wanted to say something, Joy suddenly changed the topic. “It’s nothing. Welcome back, Sammy.”When he heard the nickname Joy had not used for him for years, Samuel froze for a moment before he gave her a meaningful look.When had Joy stopped calling him Sammy? Was it since she was eighteen, fifteen, or earlier?When she stopped, he thought she had grown up and no longer wanted to be close to him, only to learn later that it was because she had fallen in love with him.But she was calling him Sammy again. Samuel stared at her for a long time with a profound look in his eyes. Something about Joy seemed to have changed. After some time, he looked down and went over to put the gifts he had brought on the table. He said, “Dad, Mom, these are Yelena’s gifts. She said it’s just a small gesture from her, and she hopes that you’d like them.”Martha beamed at that. “Of course I’d love them. Yelena always gives us great gifts. Have you thanked her for us?”Francis Fo

Chapter 3
Once she was done applying for her visa, Joy walked out of the immigration department and headed to her dance troupe.One wall of the leader’s office was filled with the dance troupe’s achievements and photos. Joy touched them with great sentiment. She did not want to leave.She once thought she would spend her entire life in this dance troupe, but who would have expected her to leave so suddenly?“Joy.”Helen Quinn, the leader, came in and patted her shoulder.As she stared at Helen, she was reminded that Helen had guided her for ten years. Her reluctance to part filled her heart again, but she barely managed to suppress it.She clenched her fists and sucked in a deep breath.“Helen, I’m resigning. My birth parents found me, and I’d like to live with them abroad.”Helen’s eyes flew wide open. Her surprise was quickly replaced by happiness. She was delighted for Joy. “That’s great. Are you going to keep dancing after you leave?”Helen had watched as Joy turned from a timid and

Church bells rang in the distance. The fog gradually disappeared to reveal the church in the mountains.Joy ducked her head to look at the stone path underneath her feet as she continued upward.“What’s this?”Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Yelena standing before a tree as she observed the prayer ribbons tied on it.“May Joy always be happy and successful in life. Samuel.“May Joy always be successful and be filled with hope. Samuel.“May Joy be blessed, and may no misfortune befall her. May the people she meet be kind. Samuel.“May Joy always be safe.”Yelena kept reading, and her jealousy grew.As Joy stared at the prayer ribbons, her composure cracked, and her thoughts drifted.Due to the earthquake, she had always been sickly and often fell ill.In order for her to get better sooner, Samuel came over to the church every week to hang prayer ribbons for her so that she would be safe.She never expected Samuel to have tied so many prayer

Chapter 5
Joy’s mind went blank. During that time, Samuel deepened the kiss, and he called out a name hoarsely, “Yelena…”So, he was drunk and thought she was Yelena?Joy snapped out of her daze and hurriedly shoved Samuel off of her before she ran out.Fortunately, he did not chase after her.The next day, after Joy left the guest room, she saw Samuel approach her with a scowl. “Why was I in your room?”The impatience and suspicion in his voice made her pause. When she saw that he did not remember anything that had happened last night, Joy wanted to tell him, but Samuel interrupted her coldly, “Did you get me inside? Joy, I already told you that it’s impossible between us. Besides, I’m about to get married. Haven’t you given up?”Joy was stunned before she ducked her head and said nothing.There was no need for it. Her love for him was a crime. To him, no matter what she did, she was in the wrong.When he saw her tear up and say nothing, Samuel’s breathing deepened for a bit. He wan

Chapter 6
It was late when Joy arrived home, and she immediately saw Samuel standing at the door.His expression was unreadable, but he appeared to have been waiting for her. Just when she walked over and wanted to ask him what he wanted, he demanded coldly, “Joy, could you stop targeting Yelena all the time? If you don’t like her, just say it. Why bully her in the dance studio?”Joy was already tired, and when she heard him say such things, all sorts of complicated emotions surged to her like a tidal wave—sadness, indignity, and resignation.She did not even have to guess; Yelena must have told him an exaggerated account of what had happened.Joy did not offer any other explanation. She just bypassed him and returned to her room.But from then on, Joy was less strict with Yelena.This made Yelena increasingly smug. Every day, she just went to the dance studio to announce her presence before she left.The others were furious and wanted to argue with her, but Joy just grabbed them and shoo

Chapter 7
Ever since Yelena joined the dance troupe because of Samuel, the troupe had gradually split into two factions.One faction was centered around Joy and worked hard with her as their goal. The other was centered around Yelena and neglected practice. All they thought about was how to get on Yelena’s good side so that she would put in a good word about them in front of Samuel and bring them benefits.The two factions never spoke to each other face-to-face until the end of the practice session today.With a smile, Yelena blocked Joy. “Joy, I don’t understand a certain part. Could you teach me?”When she saw how unusually Yelena was behaving today, Joy instinctively frowned. Just as she was about to say something, one of Yelena’s lackeys suddenly pushed her.“What’s the meaning of this? Yelena is asking you nicely. What’s with your attitude?”The people beside Joy could not stand it, so they stood in front of Yelena. “‘What’s the meaning of this’? I would much rather want to know what

Chapter 8
Three days later, Joy finally woke up.She saw Samuel waiting by her bed. He was exhausted, and his eyes were bloodshot.When he saw her stir, he tried to help her up with trembling hands, but she avoided him.Samuel’s hands froze in midair. After some time, he finally pulled his hands back.With a hoarse voice, he said, “You can still walk, but you won’t be able to dance again.“If you can’t, then don’t. I’ll take care of you. But Yelena is my fiancee. I can’t just abandon her.”Joy should have felt plenty of things at that moment. She should have been angry, be in despair, be sad, or be in suffering. Perhaps she should have even exploded in fury. But all those emotions were contained in her heart. In the end, only a feeling of helplessness remained.Finally, she said hoarsely and with a choked-up voice, “Please leave.”The ward sank into a long period of silence. Eventually, Samuel got up and told her to rest before he left in silence. When the door fell shut, Joy, who

Chapter 10
Samuel and Yelena’s wedding was major news in the Imperial City.Many people arrived early outside the church to wait for the Foster family to send someone to distribute wedding favors to them.The well wishes for a happy marriage kept coming, but Samuel just could not be happy for some reason. He remembered how his heart had clenched when he saw Joy at the door this morning, and he started feeling anxious again. He just could not shake the feeling that he had just let something slip from his grasp.The church was decorated lavishly with wedding decorations as well.
