The Last April I Stayed Chapter 10
I nodded politely. Just as I was about to speak, the colleague beside me hooked her arm through mine."Come on, we still need to grab some snacks for the trip."My attention shifted.After that brief glance, it felt like I had just passed a stranger on the street. I forgot about him almost instantly.Later that year, when the company announced an overseas exchange program, I signed up without hesitation.After the holiday ended the following year, I treated that new city as my final stop. I did not return to headquarters.So, when Nolan gave up going home for the holidays and showed up with bags of ingredients, hoping to spend it with me, he waited until the food spoiled.I never came.All he received was a message.I had left for another city, one no one knew, to join an exchange program.In my second month away, the day before April Fools' Day, I got a call from an unknown number."Whitney… do you really not want to see me that much? You left without even saying goodbye. D

The next day, he caught a cold from standing outside all night. He wrapped himself in his coat, shivering, as if hoping I would feel guilty enough to stay with him for a while. "Whitney… are you leaving?"I pushed my suitcase forward and kept walking, not even looking at him.He kept talking anyway, as if I had not already made everything clear."I thought about it all night. I know you're upset because I always let Silvia get away with hurting you, but it won't happen again. I crossed the line. That's on me."I'll keep my distance from her and draw a boundary. Just give me one more chance. I'm not asking you to forgive me. I just need you not to—"There was a sudden thud.His words were cut off mid-sentence.Behind me, I heard him suck in a sharp breath, followed by a security guard's concerned voice."Hey, are you okay?"In the reflection of a passing car, I saw that he had fallen.I turned back and looked at him. There was a scrape along the left side of his face, and hi

I only told her we had broken up.She seemed to pick up on my mood and did not press for details. After a few gentle words of comfort, she ended the call.I had expected Nolan might come looking for me.I just did not think it would be that fast.I had just come back from a nearby hospital after getting my face treated when I ran into him at the hotel entrance.Nolan looked like he had rushed all the way there without stopping. There was a restless look of urgency about him. The calm, steady look he used to have was gone."Whitney… why didn't you tell me?"The careful way he spoke almost made me laugh."Because we broke up," I said lightly. "I don't need to tell you anything anymore."I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my wrist. "I didn't agree to that. I don't accept the breakup."I thought…"I cut him off. "You thought I was joking because it was April Fools' Day? Or that I was just throwing a tantrum? Either way, from your perspective, I have no one to rely on and I

Silvia let out a quiet, annoyed scoff. "Is it really that serious? You're being a little too…"Nolan suddenly snapped.The moment he thought of the look of disappointment in Whitney's eyes, his chest tightened with a sharp, aching pain. He had never been that afraid of losing someone."Yes, it is," he said, his voice rising. "I'm telling you right now, from this moment on, you are not allowed to prank her anymore, and you are not allowed to say anything bad about her."She's the woman I'm going to marry. If you really see me as a friend, then you'd better start treating her with some respect."With that, Nolan shook off Silvia's hand and left in a hurry.Whenever Whitney had nowhere to go after an argument, she would stay late at the office. Nolan drove straight there.Without an access card, he ignored the security guard trying to stop him and ran up more than ten flights of stairs.By the time he burst into the office, he was out of breath. He grabbed the nearest person whose

What happened today only added to Nolan's guilt.Nolan let out a slow breath and glanced at his phone. "That's weird. It's been this long and she still hasn't replied. Don't tell me…"He did not finish the sentence as the hospital room door suddenly opened.For a split second, he thought it was Whitney. The corners of his mouth lifted into a practiced smile and he was just about to speak. Then, he heard a nurse's voice instead. "Huh? Why are you still here? Didn't you leave already?"Nolan froze. "Leave? My girlfriend hasn't come back yet. Where would we go?"The nurse looked at him, surprised. "But I saw her follow you into the emergency stairwell earlier. Then she came back, checked herself out, and left"For a moment, Nolan felt like he could not hear anything at all."Checked out?" he said, his voice tightening. "How… how is that possible? She just woke up. There's no way she would leave by herself. You must have been mistaken."The nurse frowned slightly and glanced at the

Ten minutes passed in the hospital room, and still no reply. Nolan felt a flicker of unease. A faint memory surfaced, the soft sound of fabric brushing against the stairwell door earlier. He had almost gone to check, but Silvia had stopped him.The thought that followed was unsettling, but he pushed it down almost immediately.No. That could not be it.Whitney had always been straightforward. If she had heard anything, she would have confronted him on the spot."Hey, what are you thinking about?" Silvia looped an arm around his neck. "Why isn't she here yet? If she doesn't show up soon, I'm not apologizing."The contact made Nolan feel strangely irritated, like his thoughts had been interrupted. He gently but firmly pulled her arm away."Stop messing around. If she sees this, she'll be upset."Silvia let out an icy laugh. "Please. You're the only one who spoils her. We're all friends here, but she's the one who always makes a big deal out of everything. She’s so dramatic all t
