Never to Meet Again Forever

Liam and I met at the hospital his family owned.

At the time, my mom was already sick from overwork, and I would often take her for check-ups.

I happened to meet Liam's grandfather, and we got along very well. He often gave my mom free check-ups and waived some of the medical fees.

One day, when I took my mom to the hospital, Liam attended to us.

"You must be Nina, right? Grandpa hasn't been well lately, so he specifically asked me to take care of you."

The first time we met, his handsome face and elegant voice made me fall for him.

Later, with Liam's grandfather's help, we naturally got together.

But that was also when my nightmare began.

At first, I genuinely believed Melanie was just Liam's younger sister.

Until one day, she openly told me what she thought of me.

"Oh, so you're the woman who brainwashed Grandpa and then cozied up to Liam?"

"Your tricks are all ones I've played with before. Be careful!"

I can still remember the disdainful look on Melanie's face.

Downstairs, Liam had chased after me.

"Nina, what are you doing? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

He stood at the doorway, shouting at me.

I ignored him and continued packing my clothes.

"What do you mean?"

Liam's face darkened.

Seeing that I was still packing, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.

"Can you stop this nonsense? It's just a wedding. I'll make it up to you!"

There was a hint of irritation in Liam's words.

As if the wedding was not an interrupted ceremony, but merely a breakfast he hadn't finished.

I shook off his hand and continued packing.

Liam's patience seemed to have run out. He stared at me with a look of annoyance, as if thinking this would make me feel his anger.

Of course, I wouldn't pay him any mind. I grabbed my suitcase and was ready to leave.

Suddenly, Melanie appeared at the doorway.

Her voice came before she entered.

"Oh, Nina, I'm so sorry..."

Before she finished speaking, she subtly raised her elbow and moved toward me.

Five years—I knew every one of her tricks inside and out.

As I sidestepped, I pushed the suitcase in front of her.

Melanie, losing her balance, stumbled to the floor.

Before she hit the ground, I saw the disbelief in her eyes.

"Melanie!"

Liam rushed over like a madman to hold her.

I could hardly believe it; I almost laughed out loud.

Every time Melanie bullied me, no matter how much it hurt, Liam always thought I was faking it. But if Melanie even scraped her skin, he would treat it like the sky was falling.

"Nina! Are you crazy?"

He looked at me, enraged.

"What's the problem?"

I calmly met his gaze.

Melanie clung to Liam's hand, speaking in a soft, delicate voice, "It's not Nina's fault. Melanie just accidentally tripped. Melanie is so clumsy."

Liam's face turned dark as he carried Melanie to the bed that used to be mine.

"Nina, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Liam glared at me, his tone harsh.

He probably thought he could bully me like he used to.

That just scaring me a little would make me apologize.

"Are you blind?"

But I coldly threw this remark at him.

Liam was stunned.

In his mind, I had never once defied him!

"If you don't need your eyes, you could donate them. There are plenty of disabled people in the world."

A slight smirk curved on my lips.

Over these past few days, I handled my mom's funeral alone, while Liam stayed in the hospital with his dear sister, not even bothering to call me.

When we met again, they were flirting, and he showed no remorse for the wedding.

He even wanted to treat me like a maid, as he always had.

How could that be possible now?

Now, I had nothing to fear.
