Ten Years Later, When I Saw My Ex-boyfriend Again

　　"Alana, I'll take you to have dessert."

　　"Alana, let's go watch a movie!"

　　"Alana, are you feeling better today?"

　　Joe was as gentle as water.

　　The intense pain in my wrist pulled me back to reality.

　　He should be angry. Raising his eyebrows, he looked scary.

　　"Joe, you're hurting me!" I wanted to remind him.

　　There was a surge of heart-wrenching pain in my stomach. It seemed someone wanted to torture me to death.

　　Fortunately, the pain in my wrist made him ignore the sweat on my forehead.

　　After a while, Joe let go of me.

　　"Alana, you indeed can't make a living by yourself. I'll give you the money. Name your price. After all, we knew each other!"

　　He was teasing me.

　　"Joe, promise me that you won't miss her anymore!" His fiancee was upset.

　　"It's just a job as a servant. Miss Ward used to be pampered. I don't think she will agree."

　　Hearing this, his fiancee seemed to have realized what was going on. She smiled sarcastically.

　　"I agree!"

　　I began to pack my things happily.

　　Hollie stuffed painkillers into my suitcase.

　　"Are you willing to go there after being insulted by Joe?"

　　Hollie puffed up her cheeks in anger.

　　"Don't go, Alana. I won't allow you. That bastard made you like this. Has he ever been grateful to you?"

　　Rory Cox rushed over and grabbed my wrist, trying to grab my suitcase.

　　"Rory, you hurt me!"

　　My voice was a little weak. Rory subconsciously let go of his hand.

　　"I'm sorry, Alana. I didn't do it on purpose!"

　　"Rory, don't stop her!"

　　Hollie pulled Rory away and pulled him to the side.

　　I lowered my head and continued sorting out my belongings.

　　Joe should have hated me very much, but it was not his fault. If I was abandoned by the person I loved deeply, I would hate him to the core.

　　I found a suitable excuse for myself so that I could justify myself.

　　Hollie hid in the kitchen with Rory, whispering to him, "Why didn't Joe ask Alana why she suddenly disappeared when he left?"

　　...

　　"At that time, her face was wrapped in bandages, and she had been hospitalized for more than a month. If it weren't for him, would Alana have suffered such a serious injury?"

　　"He hasn't even inquired about her all these years. I think he's an ungrateful person!"

　　"Rory, you don't understand Alana's thoughts..." Hollie sighed as she continued, "Just let her be. She has only three months left."

　　Yes, there were only three months left for me.

　　Hollie and Rory had always been taking care of me.

　　When I was hospitalized, Joe happened to get a chance to go abroad for further study. He had been busy for a month.

　　There were very few contacts between us.

　　So, I decided to keep it a secret.

　　"If Joe finds out that you're with me now, I wonder if he'll still want you!"

　　"Alana, isn't your father well-informed? Why can't he do it now?"

　　"It is funny. You didn't expect to end up like this, right? You offended me for Joe!"

　　"Bitch! How dare you bite me?"

　　As the glass was stabbed fiercely, the table was filled with blood.

　　For some reason, my face hurt.

　　As time went by, the scar gradually faded away.

　　Rory said that he would do his best to find the best doctor for me, and I would get better.

　　I doubted if everything would get better as time passed by.
