Chosen Love, Shattered Vows Chapter 10
Her stare made my scalp tingle, so I confessed honestly, "A few days ago, when I was discharged and went home, I saw Lauren drunk in the house and had someone look into it."At that time, Lauren was pregnant. Ian was obsessively attentive toward her. There was no way she could have gotten that drunk unless they had fought.Sure enough, Lauren had seen Ian coming out of a hotel intimately with another man, and they’d had a huge argument.Following that thread, I uncovered everything else."What are you planning to do next?" Lydia asked.I had already decided long before I changed the bride, so I didn’t hesitate."I’ve already applied to the hospital to study abroad. The paperwork should be approved in a couple of days. I’ll stay abroad for a few years to continue training, clear my mind, and take care of my father. Once the time feels right, I’ll come back."After speaking, I looked at Lydia with a silent question.She tentatively reached for my hand. When I didn’t pull away, sh

No sooner had my words fallen than the wedding photos on the giant screen behind me were replaced by the surveillance footage from the hospital that day.Lauren’s heartfelt confession played loudly and clearly for everyone in the room to hear.Lauren felt as though a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head, the cold seeping into her bones.The guests immediately understood what was happening and broke into murmurs.Lauren widened her eyes. She shook her head over and over, denying it. "No… no, it’s not like that. I love you, Sam. I was confused back then. I didn’t understand my own feelings. When I saw you marrying another woman, it really hurt. I can’t live without you."At that moment, Ian couldn’t hold himself back and rushed up from the audience. His hands clenched tightly at his sides, gripping the fabric of his clothes as if holding something in. His eyes locked onto Lauren."Lauren, what did you just say? ‘Confused’? You said your heart belonged only to me. Befor

Lydia’s words sent ripples spreading through my chest.I knew she loved me, but I never realized her love was this fierce, this absolute.In the days that followed, Lauren never came home. Meanwhile, I finished packing my things. I tossed out whatever had to be thrown out and took what I needed with me. I even converted the rent for all these years to market value and left the full amount on my bank card for her.On the afternoon before the wedding, I called Lauren five or six times before she finally answered."No need to come home tonight. Just go straight to the hotel so that we can save time. After all, we need to get up early for hair and makeup tomorrow. I’ll send you the address.""Okay. Got it."When the call ended, I took my suitcase and walked out without looking back at the place I had held on to for five years.That night, Lauren did exactly as I said. She went straight to the hotel and checked into the room next to mine.In the room on my other side was Lydia.On

"Didn’t you already have your wedding suit ordered?"In the mirror’s reflection, I saw Ian’s hand resting on Lauren’s waist.My voice stayed calm, as if I were speaking to a stranger. "I’m just trying on a few more."Lauren’s heart clenched painfully. She immediately pulled Ian’s hand off her waist and shot him a look, signaling him to leave first.However, Ian deliberately pretended not to see it. "Miss Blair, we’re here to pick up the suit we ordered earlier."Faced with his provocation, I didn’t react with anger like before. I simply admired Lydia reflected in the mirror, wearing a wedding dress.Instead, Lauren's expression shifted, turning tense and dark. She turned to Ian. "The gown isn’t urgent. Go back first."Seeing Lauren showing him attitude, Ian grew disgruntled and stormed off angrily.From the side, Lydia suddenly spoke up, "I didn’t expect you to be so tolerant, Miss Blair. You even put up with such a temperamental assistant."Lauren remembered Lydia had also ap

Even so, I still couldn’t shake the guilt.Lydia seemed to see right through me, and she suddenly changed the subject. "Why did Lauren say you were acting?"My hand tightened slightly on the blanket. I let out a bitter laugh."Because I once stupidly tried to make her jealous, just so I could convince myself she cared about me. I asked another woman to pretend to be close to me, but it didn’t go the way I hoped. Lauren didn’t get jealous. She just yelled at me."Maybe that was when she stopped loving me. I just didn’t see it. Blinded by feelings, I was unable to recognize the truth.Over the next two days, I took leave and stayed at the hospital. Every single day, without fail, Lydia came to keep me company.Each time she brought something different: a bouquet of lilies in new colors, food I liked and could actually eat, and various thoughtful little gifts. Nothing like the leftovers and broken gifts Lauren had given me.Piece by piece, Lydia made me feel warmth again, the comfo

I lied calmly, "A friend."Seeing the pale color of my lips, she didn’t continue questioning me. Instead, she sat down at the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling?"I looked at her evenly. "Well, I'm not dying."Her brows pinched together, clearly unhappy with my tone.Nevertheless, I didn’t respond to her expression. Instead, I asked, "You saw me collapse. Why didn’t you take me to the hospital? You are my fiancee."I deliberately emphasized the word "fiancee", enunciating each syllable.Her expression twisted with something complicated: panic, conflict, and guilt all at once."There was an emergency at the office. I didn’t have time to take you."I didn’t react much and answered flatly, "Got it."My indifference made her grab the hand without the IV, looking helpless. "You’re a grown man. Why are you still so childish, like when you were little? Stop imagining things and doubting everything."I didn’t answer. Instead, I pulled my hand back just as the door to the hospital
