My fiancé's first love was taking photos on a cliff before the landslide. To save her, he actually left me behind on the crumbling edge. I pleaded with him to save me. "Lucy isn't physically strong—she can't handle this alone. You've always been resilient. I'll get Lucy to safety first, then come back for you." Their silhouettes vanished over the ridge. After a brief commotion, everything went silent. Including me, with my freshly sprained ankle. When he saw the news of my death, he completely fell apart.
View MoreThe rain started falling outside. Soaked to the skin, Henry wandered aimlessly through the downpour.Some people recognized him and whispered among themselves.A few angry passersby even threw things at him.Henry ignored them all and walked to our new apartment.My parents had changed the locks. When he tried his key, he found he couldn't get in.Two large bags sat by the door—Henry's belongings, packed up by the cleaners my parents had hired.He crouched down and opened one of the bags. On top was a letter.I'd written it after discovering the ring in his pocket.When I later realized it was a misunderstanding, I hadn't gotten around to throwing it away. The cleaner must have thought it was important and packed it with his things.With trembling hands, Henry opened it."Henry, you big dummy, you're finally going to propose! Since we've been together, you've never bought me anything special. How did you know I love lily-shaped rings? Hehe. I'm being mischievous—I'll pretend
"What birthmark? Henry, you must be confused. I've never had any birthmark!"Lucy frowned, then Henry gripped her arm tightly."So you've been lying to me. The person who gave me hope back then wasn't you, and you didn't save me at the beach either. It was Susie, wasn't it?"Lucy remained silent."Tell me!" Henry roared. Seeing she couldn't hide it anymore, Lucy finally told the truth."I did pass by the field that day, but I never went up to you. I never claimed I helped you... That time at the beach, I did find you unconscious on the sand..."Henry pushed open the door and stumbled out onto the street.When my parents arrived at my apartment with security guards, Lucy was still sitting at the vanity sending messages to Henry."Who are you? What do you want?"My parents directed the guards to drag her out."Living in my daughter's new home—who do you think you are, occupying someone else's property? Call the police!"Lucy cried that Henry had brought her there.The guards
A colleague quickly took the document as Henry stood up and called me again and again.Unfortunately, my phone had been left at the base of the cliff by Linda.When he called Linda, she replied, "I already told you to come sign for Susie's body, but you didn't believe me. You know better than anyone how Susie died. Our expedition team will keep investigating this."Henry's expression went blank instantly.He pushed past the colleagues gathering around him and bolted for the door.My parents were traveling out of town and Linda couldn't reach them, so she ended up driving over to sign the papers herself.By the time Henry arrived, my parents were collapsed over my body, crying inconsolably.Watching them, I couldn't help but cry too.Years ago, Henry was a poor student while my family was well-off. Worried I'd struggle with him, my parents secretly supported us and even bought me an apartment downtown.When we moved into the new place together, Henry's eyes were full of delight
Sometime later, I woke to someone calling my name and realized it had gotten dark.My friend Linda was tapping my cheeks, tears streaming down her face.It was too late for rescue teams to come up, but my friends had all arrived."Your fiancé came back with that woman, saying he couldn't find you. We knew something had happened. We've been searching with detectors for hours before finding you. Hang in there, Susie—we'll get you down for treatment."The team leader held my hand, his voice breaking.By then, I was barely breathing."Linda, do you have a voice recorder? I want to say something."I'd been trapped between rocks for too long—I knew I wouldn't make it.A part of my spirit drifted out, watching from above as Linda performed emergency aid through her tears.I followed them back to camp. Henry had already taken Lucy down to the village at the foot of the mountain.The friends who stayed behind were furious."Susie's fiancé said that woman wasn't feeling well and insis
My fiancé Henry Parker's first love insisted on joining our cliff expedition.I warned her beforehand that this was an extremely dangerous activity and she needed to follow my instructions without taking risks.But moments ago, she was horsing around with Henry and accidentally threw our bag of first aid supplies down the cliff."I didn't mean to," Lucy Smith said with an innocent face. "You know this area better than anyone, right? I'm sure you can get us out safely."I held back my anger and sternly cautioned her, “Do you realize accidents can happen up here? You've thrown away our medical supplies—we could end up stranded and dying from injuries!"Lucy trembled, tears spilling from her eyes.Henry shoved me from behind. "Susie, Lucy didn't do it on purpose. Why are you being so harsh? Besides, aren't you supposed to be the expert? You still have your compass—how could we possibly get stuck here?"He wiped the tears from Lucy's face, looking at her with complete tenderness.H
