MasukMy daughter is gravely ill, and her medical bills cost a bomb. My husband gives up on treating her. Then, he turns and runs into the arms of his childhood sweetheart, Chelsea Davies. Amid my despair, my first love, Elliot Cox, transfers five million dollars to my account. He cares for my daughter with me. However, my daughter ultimately fails to escape death. Six years later, Elliot and I have our own child. When I head to the hospital to visit one of my friends, I accidentally hear Elliot's conversation with a doctor. "You and Ms. Baxter have your own child now, Mr. Cox. What if she finds out the truth of what happened back then?" "Chelsea was gravely ill at the time; I had no choice but to pull some tricks to have the child's heart transplanted to her. Besides, Holly's pregnant again now, isn't she? It's high time she lets go and moves on." Only then do I discover that my daughter was misdiagnosed on purpose. Elliot took her heart and had it transplanted in Chelsea's body.

He made up his mind that he would drop everything and go to Norbury to find me.Before leaving, Elliot stopped by Chelsea's house. He wanted to leave her a letter—an apology and a final farewell.He knew the passcode to her front door, so he let himself in. As soon as he entered the door, he overheard Chelsea venting to her best friend.This was the first time in her entire career that a scandal had surfaced about her, and the fact that it had come from Elliot, the man who had loved her the most, made her furious."The truth is, I was never sick six years ago. I deliberately lied to Elliot. Back then, I was in love with Joshua. The only way he and Holly would ever get divorced was if that baby was gone."I never thought Elliot would be so stupid. He believed everything I said. He deserves to lose his wife and child. There's no way I'll let how he humiliated me in front of everyone slide. I'm going to make him fall in love with
Stepping out of the studio, Elliot finally realized that it had started pouring outside.Watching the heavy downpour, he suddenly remembered that time when I had come back home, drenched.This time Elliot stepped straight into the rain without hesitation.Aaron rushed over to shield him with an umbrella, but Elliot tossed it aside, letting the icy rain lash against his face.Maybe it was the cold, or maybe it was something else, but his voice carried a faint tremor, albeit barely noticeable. "So, this is what it feels like to be drenched in a storm. It's miserable. It hurts. Holly, it was my fault. I never took the time to understand your pain. I never stood in your shoes."Elliot trudged through the storm for six full miles.By the time he reached home, night had already fallen. A chill seeped into his bones, and he sneezed. Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly prepared hot ginger tea. Elliot took a sip and immediately winced at the spiciness. The taste was nothing like before
After breakfast, Chelsea pulled Elliot along to get their hair and makeup done."Elliot, I need you to back me up at today's press conference," she said sweetly.Elliot patted her head, going along with her plans. However, his eyes never left his phone, afraid that he might miss an update from Aaron.Soon, the press conference began.Just before Elliot stepped onto the stage, he received a message. "Mr. Cox, we've confirmed it. Mrs. Cox seems to have found out the truth from six years ago. Two days ago, she even went to the hospital morgue to look for the baby's body."At the same time, she consulted a law firm about the divorce and the medical misdiagnosis that led to the child's death. And… Mrs. Cox also went to the hospital and terminated her pregnancy."Elliot's fingers trembled, and he nearly dropped his phone.A second message followed. This time, it was a surveillance video.The footage showed me walking out of the obstetrics department, my face as pale as a sheet. I was
Elliot lay awake, staring at the sleeping Chelsea beside him.He got up, stepped onto the balcony, and lit a cigarette. As he scrolled through his old messages with me, memories of our time together surfaced one by one.Everything played back in his mind from the moment we had met until now.Elliot had always been busy with work and came home late almost every night. But no matter how late it had been, I had always had dinner ready and waited patiently at the table.Many times, I had even fallen asleep right there, with my head resting on the table.Elliot pictured that small figure under the warm glow of the dining room light, now replaced by cold, empty darkness.At this moment, Elliot had to admit that he had grown used to having me in his life. He was used to my scent filling the house and reaching out to find me by his side.And now, he was starting to realize that he might be losing the most important thing in his life.For the first time ever, Elliot wrote a thousand-wor
