Chapter 8

Author: Sweetie Moore
All that was left in my heart right now was calm indifference.

“My name is Cecilia Todd. Hello, Ms. Bale.”

Cecilia took the initiative to greet Hazel before turning to me. “Since you have a guest today, let’s meet again another time?”

I held her hand. “No need for that.”

I turned to Hazel and said flatly, “Just speak if you have something to say.”

Cecilia was rather surprised at my sudden move but said nothing as she glanced at Hazel.

Hazel’s eyes turned red in an instant.

She looked plea

    Hazel’s depression worsened, and she refused to talk or eat.She would only listen to my voice.These symptoms were identical to when Yves abandoned her back then, except that the person in question had changed from Yves to me.Yves wanted to do what I did in the past, walking Hazel out of her depression, but Hazel stumbled upon his phone by accident and found out the truth behind her accident, when Yves claimed that he only went abroad because he didn’t know she was disfigured and depressed.As it turned out, when the accident occurred, Yves called his friend and cried for help, “What should I do? Hazel was hit by a car when she tried to save me. I don’t know if she was killed or disfigured—it was all a bloody mess! I can’t afford to compensate her, that’s for sure!“I don’t want to marry someone ugly and disfigured, either!“Quick, help me think of a solution!” Subsequently, Yves fled abroad and disappeared for five years.After those five years, when he heard that Hazel man

    Yves’ texts were all accompanied by photos of Hazel taken from his point of view.She peeled prawns for him, brought him to the shopping mall to pick a suit, and accompanied him back to their alma mater for a stroll down memory lane.They even managed to dig up their confession letters to each other.She repeatedly used the excuse of business trips to reclaim the sweet memories of their past with Yves behind my back.As it turned out, I knew what was going on.“Yves, Yves… why did you do that? Why…”Hazel mumbled under her breath and suddenly stood up and rushed out of the cafe.I hurriedly ran after her, worried that something untoward might happen to her. I ended up seeing her fainting on the street, surrounded by people.I had no choice but to send her to the hospital.I called her parents to ask them to bring her back. Her parents treated me as their son-in-law when they saw how I stopped at nothing to save Hazel.When they found out over the phone that I had broken up wi

    Hazel nodded chokingly.“He was outside my room when we were on the phone that day. He saw the marriage certificate, too.”Priscille paused for a long while before saying helplessly, “Any man who hears that would lose his mind.”“What did you do after he found out?“Perhaps there’s room for reconciliation on account of the time you’ve spent with each other?”Hazel thought back on our interactions over the past few days, and her face paled.She had belatedly realized that after that day, I started to quietly abandon her.She, on the other hand, knew that it was wrong of her to see Yves. Reason told her that she couldn’t get herself involved with Yves.Yves had almost taken her life back then. If it weren’t for me, Hazel would have destroyed herself and left this world.However, reason eventually lost out to emotion. Each time Yves pleaded with her, she would tell herself, “I’m only going over to see how he’s doing. I’ll never give in to him!”Yet, she would always end up recal

    I was rather surprised. I had the wedding all prepared for her and Yves. What was she doing, trying to find me instead of immersing herself in wedding bliss?I had no intention of being involved with Hazel anymore, but Cherie sounded put on the spot, and I didn’t want to cause her trouble.As such, I told her to give Hazel my new contact number.Hazel stopped pestering Cherie and started bombarding me with calls.After I checked into the hotel, I finally answered one of her calls. Before I could say anything, Hazel questioned me anxiously, “Steve Yates, where exactly did you go?“Why didn’t you come to our wedding?“Do you know how anxious I am? As your girlfriend, I even had to ask others for your contact details!”She had always been a gentle and meek woman before me, and this was her first time displaying such rage.I was somewhat caught off guard, but more than anything, I felt a sense of helplessness and resignation.“Hazel, I’ve made it very clear. Let’s break up.“I’

    Back at the wedding venue, Hazel was panicking after I hung up on her.She felt something of utmost importance leaving her. When she tried to call me back with trembling hands, she could only hear the robotic voice telling her that I had switched my phone off.“Steve, what’s going on?”Her voice shook as she repeatedly dialed my number to no avail.Just then, the wedding planner approached her. “Is this Ms. Bale? The wedding is ready, and the ceremony can begin anytime…”“Why is Yves Landon indicated as the groom? I remember telling you very clearly that the groom is Steve Yates!” Hazel questioned the planner agitatedly, her voice trembling.The planner explained, “Oh, that was Mr. Yates’ instruction. Is this Mr. Landon? Your groom’s suit is ready and in the dressing room. Please try it out…”Yves looked rather surprised, but he was secretly delighted at getting his way. He deliberately said with furrowed brows and feigned confusion, “How did things turn out this way?“Hazel, d
