"But don't worry, I'll be a good husband."After my confrontation with Jake, I felt completely drained. Even after a nap, my chest still felt tight.I sat in the wheelchair and headed towards the elevator, planning to go to the ground floor garden. However, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a familiar thermos on a bench in the hallway. It looked exactly like the one Jake had brought.Frowning slightly, I instinctively wheeled over to it. The nearby hospital room door was slightly open, and a soft, melodious voice drifted out."After all these years, you still remember I love chicken soup with eggs..."Even though I got slightly hurt in the earthquake, it's worth it to taste your homemade soup."Hearing this, I froze. As if drawn by some invisible force, I moved closer to the door.And then, I saw that familiar silhouette. Then, I heard the voice that had just professed love to me in my room:"Your love for fireworks, your fondness for chicken soup with eggs, and all your o

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment.Suddenly, it all became clear.On the night of our engagement, Jake didn't come home.I called him several times but couldn't reach him.It wasn't until the next afternoon that he returned, claiming he had been at an all-night bachelor party with friends.Back then, I was so in love that I didn't question it.Now I realized that on the night Susie returned, they had already had sex.The next day, he could still shamelessly deceive me, his fiancée.And what about this past month?How many times had I been kept in the dark?I felt lost.The man I had loved for seven years...When did he start to change?Or was he like this from the very beginning?It was he who pursued me first.In college, the most popular guy on campus, the young heir to Thompson Enterprises, fell in love with me at first sight.Even after seven years of dating, this still seemed unbelievable to me.Back then, I was just an ordinary girl, buried in studies and

Grandmother's funeral was organized by Jake.She was buried with Grandfather, per her dying wish.Afterwards, Jake and I began dating.His mother initially disapproved but later changed her mind.We spent seven years together.During that time, Jake would get angry whenever I mentioned the medical bills.He was upset that I was too independent and never relied on him.Eventually, I stopped bringing it up and learned to depend on him.He had an ex-girlfriend who broke up with him because she went abroad. I only found out about it later.I didn't think much of it, as he always made me feel secure.After he honestly explained everything, our relationship actually improved.I never doubted him.Thinking about this, I felt a bit dazed.Suddenly, Susie's voice snapped me back to reality.She was fidgeting with her nails as she casually said:"Oh, by the way, I was curious and looked through your bedroom closet.""I found this old, tattered notebook. I accidentally damaged it,

A warm stream trickled down between my eyebrows.When she saw this, panic flashed in the woman's eyes.In my mind, her words "useless dead grandmother" kept echoing.An overwhelming pain, mixed with suffocation, washed over me."How dare you talk about her like that?" I shouted at her, raising my hand to slap her face.The next second, my wrist was firmly gripped.Then I was violently pushed to the ground.My palm accidentally pressed against broken glass, sending a sharp pain through my hand.Enduring the pain, I looked back and saw Jake anxiously holding Susie.His eyes were gentle and concerned as he spoke to her.Unfortunately, my hearing aid had fallen off, so I couldn't hear how he was softly comforting the frightened woman in his arms.After a moment, the man looked at me.His eyes no longer held their usual warmth.Only coldness and disgust remained.When he saw my blood-covered face, surprise flashed across his features.Then his lips moved, but I couldn't hear

"Don't you agree, Brenda?" Mrs. Thompson's lilting tone carried a hint of pressure.Upon hearing her words, I let out a soft sigh."Mrs. Thompson, I am not anyone's possession, nor am I a tool for maintaining your family's reputation.""Jake's infidelity is far more outrageous than anything I have done. I think he's the one who needs your guidance."There was silence on the other end of the line.Then, the sound of a cup being slammed onto a table.Her voice turned sharp:"Brenda Larson, if you don't take the chance I am giving you, do not blame me for making you the second person who cannot show their face in this country again!"Hearing this, I frowned slightly.Had Susie been forced to go abroad by Mrs. Thompson?Thinking of this, I said coldly:"I would welcome that."That night, I received a call from one of Jake's friends."Brenda, Jake is drunk. Come pick him up quickly."I was about to refuse, but then thought that this might be a way to find him.I asked for the

After finishing our conversation, I questioned him word by word:"So you've been pretending all these years. Don't you feel exhausted?"The man froze."I haven't, Brenda.""Believe me, I really love—""So you've said you love me countless times. Don't you feel disgusted?" I interrupted, my voice trembling, not allowing him to finish."Susie found my book in the bedroom closet. You knew it was from my grandmother, yet you let her trample on it carelessly!"You let her sleep in my bed, wear my pajamas, tear up my things."Jake, have you ever respected me even for a moment?"As I finished speaking, the man's eyes darkened.His eyes suddenly turned red, but he remained silent.I wasn't really seeking an answer.But did Jake truly not know?He always knew what mattered most to me.Because he never truly loved me, he let others trample on everything freely.So he didn't care if I would be sad or hurt.I took out the paper agreement from my bag."I'm thankful for your help wh

I paused for a moment, then walked over to the grave.A bouquet of roses had already been placed in front of it.I didn't move the flowers, but gently set my own beside them.Quietly, I gazed at the faded old photo on the tombstone."Grandma, I've come to see you," I said.I talked for a long time, alone.Jake stood silently nearby, listening for who knows how long.Finally, I took the worn journal out of my bag.I lit it with a lighter.Jake saw this and quickly reached out to stop me."Brenda, what are you doing?!" His face was full of panic.I let go, and the burning paper fell onto his roses.He immediately crouched down, picked it up, and used his jacket to extinguish the fire.He hissed, seemingly burned."How can you burn what Grandma left behind?" he asked.Looking at the hole burned in the roses, I said softly,"How dare you come here? Aren't you afraid of karma?"Jake froze.After a moment, he stood up and looked at me.He had dark circles under his eyes, a

No one can hurt me anymore by carelessly trampling on my feelings."The fireworks, the earthquake... you can continue living with regret for the rest."After all, I had once sincerely prayed for his safety.Saying this, I reached up and removed my hearing aid. Jake stared at the device in my hand, momentarily stunned."I forgot to tell you, I lost my hearing after that earthquake."Jake's face instantly turned pale, drained of all color.He seemed frozen.He tried to reach for my hearing aid, but his entire hand trembled uncontrollably.I offered it to him.The next moment, warm tears fell on my hand one after another.In the end, Jake didn't touch the hearing aid.He looked like a man who had lost his foundation, his eyes devoid of any light.I watched his lips move, saying something.I couldn't understand a word.After a moment, I just smiled and said:"I wish you many more days like this, year after year."The case ended.The Thompson family fell from grace, with al
