Chapter 3

"Are you really going to force him to this extent just for Jansen?"

The person on the other end of the phone sighed.

"Sure, the most important thing for me now is to accompany Jansen to treat his illness. Pieter has a stubborn personality. If his legs recover, he will definitely leave me."

"Cerena, can you help me just this once? I will definitely help him recover his legs later!"

The hospital where I was hospitalized, belonged to Celeste's family and I never doubted that she would tamper with my surgery.

Through the thin door panel, I heard a fierce noise inside.

I panicked and tried to escape, but accidentally fell off the wheelchair.

The door clicked open.

Cerena Louis stood there, her phone still on.

There was a hint of reluctance on the face resembled Celeste's, as she crouched down and carried me back to the wheelchair.

"I'll perform surgery on you, okay?"

At first, I thought Cerena was lying, but it was not until I successfully underwent leg surgery that I realized she was a good person.

On the second day after the surgery, Celeste happened to appear.

She did not seem to know about my surgery.

I rubbed my legs and Celeste unconsciously took my legs. "Does your legs hurt again?"

I felt a bit dazed. I had not seen her being gentle and considerate since that incident happened.

I pushed her hand away and pulled over the blanket to cover my legs.

"What's wrong?"

Perhaps it was because I was too cold and distant that she looked at me with some hurt in her eyes.

"Pieter, I know I was wrong. Can you please stop getting angry?"

"I'm here to take you home."

"These days, I have hired someone to set up specialized disability equipment for you at home. By then, your life at home will still be as convenient as before."

Celeste stood in front of my bed and pulled out the wheelchair from the corner.

Without giving me time to refuse, she asked the nurse to pick me up and put me on the wheelchair and while pushing me forward, she told me that she had prepared everything for me at home.

I felt a little amused. If it weren't for me scrolling through Jansen's social media updates, I would truly believe her words and even be moved.

I did not refuse because I did need some time to recuperate and the Louis Family's house was the best place to go.

I just did not expect to see another person there.

As soon as I got home, I saw Jansen standing at the door waiting for me.

I had never seen him in person. I had only heard his name from Celeste's mother.

Celeste's mother, Viviane Louis, said that Jansen and I had different personalities. I was sunny and cheerful, while he was quiet and gentle.

However, Viviane did not like Jansen, because he got close to her daughter just to get a place to study abroad at that time.

Celeste did not even know about it.

I did not mention it either, I did not want to get involved in their relationship.

I just did not expect that the first thing the man did when he came back was to hurt me and even deceive Celeste again.

And Celeste was like a fool.

"Pieter, thank you for forgiving me for that."

"That was something I didn't do right, but I really didn't let them torture you. I just wanted to meet you and talk to you. They acted on their own initiative! I ...."

Jansen came up with a harmless face and kept explaining.

But I did not listen to a word.

"When did I forgive you?"

I thought of the forgiveness letter Celeste mentioned before and turned to look at her.

I got it, she forged my letter of understanding.

Celeste separated me and Jansen with a guilty conscience and pushed me into the room.

Jansen obediently followed behind her.
