He Spoke for Me, Then Took My Place Chapter 8
Anton's POVVivian was stunned. She was about to say something, but I cut her off. "Vivian, ever since we were children, you've all been the ones making decisions for me. I never even had the chance to speak for myself. You never once stopped to think about whether I wanted any of it. You never asked if I was okay with it. I only have aphasia. I'm not mute!"I practically shouted that last sentence. These were words I had kept to myself for far too long. When I finally said them out loud, every one of them still carried the pain they had left behind.Her face instantly turned pale. "Anton, I'm sorry. I—""Vivian, go home. This isn't the place for you." I turned around and walked away. "When you get back, pass a message on to them for me. From now on, I don't want any of you coming to find me."Just like that, Vivian left.A few days later, Mom called me. On the other end of the line, she was sobbing uncontrollably. "Anton, do you really not want me as your mother anymore? You d

Anton's POVThe day Vivian appeared at the entrance of our base, I was handing out bread to a group of children. She had become much thinner, looking completely worn out from the journey here, and her face was pale."Anton." The moment she spoke, tears came streaming down her face. "Anton, I watched your interview. You did a really good job with the translation."I handed out the last piece of bread in my hands, then turned to look at her. "Go home, Vivian. No matter what you say, I'm not going back with you.""Anton, listen to me—" She stepped forward and tried to take my hand, but I stepped back and avoided her.Her hand froze in midair. "Anton, I love you. I just couldn't let go of Julian. We are already divorced, and the baby is gone now. Come home. We've all been so worried about you. Julian cries every day, blaming himself for what happened to you. And your mom checks the news from Dalton first thing every day, and she doesn't relax until she sees that you're safe—"I cut h

Third-Person POVAnton didn't give Vivian a chance to explain. He simply hung up the phone.The hand Vivian was holding the phone with slowly dropped, and she sank into the couch. She suddenly recalled that afternoon back in her second year of high school.Julian had shoved Anton in front of her and read the love letter aloud on his behalf.Anton turned his head away, his face flushed as he didn't dare look at her. All the students in their class gathered around, everyone waiting for her answer. No one knew how much she had struggled inside. In the end, she finally said quietly, "I like you too."Her words had been a lie from the very beginning. Julian was her first love. Since their first year of high school, they had secretly been together. Later, Julian learned that Anton liked her, so he wanted to break up with her.At the time, Anton was often bullied by his classmates because of his aphasia, and he was already in a poor mental state. Julian said Anton needed her more and as

Third-Person POVVivian called Anton 17 times, but every time, the mechanical voice said his phone was switched off. In the past, even when she and Anton had argued, he had never ignored her calls. And he had never simply turned off his phone as he did then.Julian paced anxiously around the hospital room and asked, "Vivian, did you get through to him?"She gripped her phone tightly and shook her head.Just then, Shirley Lind, Anton's mother, woke up in the hospital bed. When she found out he had left, she nearly passed out again.Julian immediately patted her back to comfort her. "Mom, stay calm. Anton is just throwing a tantrum. He'll be back soon."However, she slapped his hand away and yelled, "Fine! If he's left, so be it! I don't have a son like him!"Vivian sent a message to Anton. "Anton, your mom has woken up. Come back and apologize."An hour later, he still hadn't replied.Julian also tried sending him a message. "Anton, where did you go? We're all worried about you

Anton's POVThe next morning, I went to the station to complete my work. When I returned home, Julian and Vivian were there. Their marriage certificate was sitting on the table. He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin in the crook of her neck. "Vivian, am I being too selfish? If it weren't for the baby, we would never have been able to get married… Anton is supposed to be your husband…"She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "We'll just treat him a little better from now on."I walked in with my hands clenched, my expression twisted with anger. When they saw me, they quickly pulled apart.Julian stood up and quickly explained, "Anton, it's not what you think. I—"I ignored him and simply went back to my room to get my luggage.Vivian pushed the door open. When she saw my luggage, she immediately grabbed my hand. "Anton, where are you going? I'll leave right away. Please, don't do this—"I avoided her and dragged my suitcase toward the door. But she chased

Anton's POVMy throat constricted painfully. I forced myself to stay on my feet, my eyes welling up with tears. Finally, I walked out, grabbed the cup from the table, and smashed it hard against the floor. Shards scattered everywhere.Vivian stood up quickly, her voice frantic. "Anton…"Seeing me like this, Julian tried to stop me. "Anton, I'm sorry. Vivian's pregnancy was an accident. I never meant to fight you for her…"I was so furious that I could barely breathe, unable to utter a single word. All I could do was raise my hand and shove him away. I signed. "Why? Why did you make a fool of me? Why did everyone lie to me?""Enough! What are you gesturing about?" Mom shoved me aside. She yelled, "If you can't speak, just keep your mouth shut! Don't upset Vivian."Caught off guard, I stumbled and nearly fell.Crying, Vivian took out her phone. "Anton, I let you down. I'll make an appointment to get rid of the baby—"As soon as she said that, everyone rushed over to stop her. Jul
