Let Me Melt Away

I looked at Dustin White disappearing before me with despair.

His soulmate, Celine Hoffman, had her hands around his neck as he carried her off.

I could briefly hear her saying in a pitiful tone, "Dustin, I'm fine. Your wife said she's pregnant, you should go back and save her."

I could feel my flesh start melting little by little. The bubbling lava in the lake swallowed me gradually. I could not help but wail due to the extreme pain. "It's so painful. Please save me… "

I stared in the direction they were walking away as my body sank gradually. All I heard was Dustin answering with disgust, "Celine, you are just too kind.

"She is so selfish that she can even make up a lie about her fake pregnancy. Why are you still speaking for her?

"We are in the same profession, and we are trained on self-rescue. She has only accidentally fallen into a lake. She will be able to find her way out herself.

"Her act can only deceive someone like you."

Tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes at that moment. I closed my eyes in despair.

'Dustin, I didn't fall in here accidentally. I was deliberately being pushed into the lake by the woman next to you…'

They disappeared after turning the corner. Dustin did not even turn around to look at me the whole time. If he had just turned around, he would have seen the hot, boiling lava corroding my body.

Celine looked at me provocatively, with a cold grin on the corner of her lips.

"You lost," she whispered.

I did lose. I lost because I loved Dustin.

When I fell in love with Dustin, I did not know that he had a childhood soulmate who had always been there with him. They were almost a couple.

That year, the White family owed a huge debt, and Celine left Dustin then.

I fell in love with Dustin during his most miserable moments. My family, the Freeman family, spent plenty of time and effort rescuing the White family. Dustin proposed to me because of my family's assistance to his family.

We lived in perfect harmony after we got married. It was until a year ago that Dustin suddenly bumped into Celine in the hospital.

Celine looked sick and haggard. "Dustin, I'm sorry; I didn't want you to know about my condition. I just wanted to come back and see you for the last time..."

Celine explained that her disappearance earlier was because she found out that she had a terminal illness.

Dustin felt incredibly guilty.

That day, I was waiting for Dustin to pick me up in the hospital after having a miscarriage. What I received was Celine's friend request on social media instead.
