Report
My wife, Rosalie Maynard, gets reported to the authorities for embezzling her company's funds just to please her childhood friend, Ralph Osborne, by placing a high-stakes winning bid at an auction house. I'm the one who help clear all of her debts and receive the three-year prison sentence on her behalf. Rosalie promises me that she will cut off all ties with Ralph and stay devoted to me. But throughout my three-year sentence, she never visits me at the prison. On the day I get released from prison, I bump into Rosalie at the hospital, who has just given birth to a baby. As she plays with the newborn in the crook of her arm, she tells the others, "Vernon is about to get released from prison. The news of me giving birth must never get out. Otherwise, he'll definitely start a fight with me." I find it absolutely ironic, honestly. Not even a three-year prison sentence can make a woman, who's never been in love with me in the first place, miraculously fall for me. This time, I don't bother making a ruckus. Instead, I choose to disappear from Rosalie's world entirely.

"Vernon, thank you so much, truly. I've come to terms with everything. I'm going to build a good life with Harper and stop dwelling on the painful memories of the past. I also hope you and Lillian will be happy together, always."I smiled and nodded.I walked out of the hospital, and the sunlight fell warm and bright on my shoulders.Lillian was already waiting for me at the entrance. When she saw me come out, she quickly walked over."Is Harper alright now?"I took her hand and replied, "Yeah. Come on, I want to take you somewhere."I brought Lillian to the beach.The sun was setting in the west. Its golden afterglow spilled across the ocean's surface in glittering, shimmering waves.I retrieved a small box from my pocket and got down on one knee."Lillian, thank you for staying by my side this past year. Thank you for giving me warmth and courage. You showed me how simple happiness can truly be. Will you marry me?"Lillian pressed a hand over her mouth. Her eyes were full o

Rosalie suddenly broke into a smile, but there was an unspeakable bleakness in it.As I watched her walk away, Lillian looked at me with confusion."Who was she?"I gently shook my head. "Someone from the past."As if grasping something unspoken, Lillian tightened her grip on my hand.…A year later, at the annual meeting of the medical equipment company, I stood at the awards podium as the top salesman. Under the dazzling lights, I accepted the heavy trophy.My gaze swept across the audience, and there was Lillian. She was smiling sweetly at me and with eyes filled with pride.In that moment, I truly felt for the first time how full and warm life could be.After the event ended, Lillian and I walked side by side along the street.The night breeze gently lifted her hair, sending it drifting across my cheek.She suddenly stopped walking and looked at me earnestly."Vernon, look how far you've come. I've seen every bit of progress you've made this year, and I couldn't be happ

I gently shook off Rosalie's hand."Every doctor here will do their best."Tears burst forth from Rosalie's eyes, and she suddenly collapsed to her knees, sobbing like a helpless child."Vernon, I was wrong—I know that now. As long as you can keep Ralph alive, I'll do anything."Her voice was filled with despair and regret. She was a world apart from the cold and indifferent woman she had once been. Yet, seeing her in this state stirred not even the faintest ripple of emotion in me.There was a time when a single tear from her would have gutted me. However, three years in prison had burned through every ounce of love and pity I'd ever had for her.I bent down, leveling my gaze with hers, and said evenly, "Rosalie, I don't recall you ever pleading with me like this when I was the one going to prison in your place."She opened her mouth, but no words came out. All she did was sob without pause.The surgery lasted six hours.When the lead surgeon came out and shook his head, Rosa

I shook my head and was about to decline when a sudden wave of dizziness washed over me. In the last moment before I lost consciousness, I felt a pair of warm hands catch me.When I woke again, I was greeted with a pristine white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant. I struggled to sit up, but a slender hand pressed down on my shoulder."Don't move. You're running a high fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit." Lilian's face appeared in my field of vision. She was adjusting the flow rate on the IV drip. "If you'd been brought in any later, you might have developed pneumonia."Only then did I realize I was lying on a hospital bed with an IV tube inserted into my hand.I hurriedly tried to get up. "The medical bills—"Lillian calmly handed me a cup of warm water."Don't worry, I've already paid them. While you were unconscious, you kept calling out 'Rosalie.' Is she someone who's very important to you?"I gripped the cup tightly. The scalding temperature burned my palm. Yet, it was noth

As I watched Rosalie and Ralph play off each other like that, the last bit of love I'd been clinging to dissipated completely."Rosalie, I went to prison for you because I once believed you were worth it. But now I understand that I've wasted my love on the wrong person. From now on, there's nothin

I looked at Rosalie. My eyes were filled with unwillingness to accept it at all."Rosalie, don't you have anything to explain to me? Back then, you said you'd cut off all contact with Ralph, but now you even have a child with him."Rosalie's face paled for a moment, but she quickly regained her co

Rosalie's best friend, Eva Lyon, said with a face full of worry, "Rosalie, you can't keep something like this under wraps forever. Vernon is bound to find out about the baby sooner or later."Rosalie gently stroked the baby's cheek, utterly aglow with maternal tenderness. However, the words that ca
