She Stole My Lifeline for Romance With Another

When I came to my senses, my whole body was shivering. It might have been the hospital's overly cold air conditioning, or simply my nerves before the surgery.As I stared at the empty hospital room, tears began to well up in my eyes.Meanwhile, my parents were outside, humbly pleading with relatives to lend them money to save my life.I knew that from that day on, everyone would learn that my girlfriend had abandoned me in the hospital for her childhood sweetheart.But what did it matter? I had to survive first before worrying about any of the gossip.Just then, my phone rang. It was Eleanor calling. She had finally remembered me, her so-called boyfriend.I hung up immediately. With the surgery approaching, I didn't want to hear her voice or any explanations from her.

But even without her, my team still had a large fanbase, and our earnings were substantial. In fact, more than half of the company's income depended on me.When I returned to the office, I first dealt with the backlog of documents from this period. After that, I called everyone on my team into a meeting.The scandal involving Joseph was still dominating the internet, but for me, there was no denying that it was a favorable sign. After all, I hadn't gone live in a long time. A sudden return was definitely not as effective as coming back with a trending topic.Halfway through the meeting, my se
