Author: Brew of the Zephyr
Uriah flipped through the medical records page by page.

[Patient arrived at ER in shock.]

[Patient was unable to contact family and had no companion post-operation.]

[Surgery lasted three hours.]

...

Uriah knew every word, yet reading them felt unbearably, excruciatingly difficult. He read through it several times, then finally dropped the thick file back where it had been, as if it had burned his hands.

He mumbled, "This isn't real... It's not... There's no way it's real... Irina's lying

    Irina remembered that on that hot summer day, she had given Luther a piece of candy and a Band-Aid."So we've known each other all along."Luther nodded. "That's right. We knew each other a long time ago. I was just unlucky. I missed you once, and I almost missed you for an entire lifetime.""What do you mean?" Irina was sobbing inconsolably. She thought her heart had long since died, yet it started beating again."I'll tell you slowly later… Hey, why are you crying again? Don't cry... Seeing you cry only makes my wound hurt more."Luther reached out to wipe away Irina's tears, but Irina swatted his hand away.She huffed. "You have a pain pump hooked up. What pain are you talking about? Stop lying to me.""It really hurts... My heart hurts.""Nice try. Do you want some water?""When are you going to make us official?""I asked if you want water.""I do. As long as my girlfriend pours it, I'd even drink poison.""Who's your girlfriend? Did I agree to that?""You did. You sa

    When Luther's parents–Terrence Zimmerman and Cynthia Lowell–arrived at the hospital, they saw Irina covered in blood. The couple checked her over several times, and only after confirming Irina was not injured did they breathe a sigh of relief.However, Luther's parents' expressions immediately turned grave. Despite the heavy mood, Cynthia still walked over to Irina and gripped her hands tightly.She said, "You must've been terrified, dear. Don't worry. Luther's tough. A little injury like this is nothing.""I'm so sorry, Mrs. Zimmerman. He was trying to save me. I'm so sorry..."Irina broke down again, like a child who had done something terribly wrong, unable to even look Cynthia in the eye. The people around could tell that saying anything right now would be useless given her state.Time ticked by minute by minute. When the operating room light finally went out, and the doctor emerged, Irina was the first to rush over."Doctor, how is Luther?""He's fine. No vital organs were

    Since Sophie had valid psychiatric documentation, Irina had no recourse against her. Outside the police station, Uriah wanted to say something to Irina. However, Luther stood between them, giving Uriah no opportunity."Irina, I need to talk to you alone.""She doesn't want to talk to you."Luther had been holding this in for a long time, and today, he had things he needed to say to Uriah face-to-face."Uriah, what exactly do you want? You and Irina are divorced, so please stop interfering with her life."Also, keep your woman under control. A mental illness certificate is not a free pass with me."Hearing that, Uriah's competitiveness flared up. He let out a cold laugh as he looked back at Luther."So what if we're divorced? I was with Irina for eight years. All her firsts were mine. What do you have?"Mr. Zimmerman, do you think I don't know who you are? I have known about you for a long time, and I never cared, because you are just a pathetic loser who could only spy on my

    When Luther said dinner, he really just took Irina out for a meal. After dinner, it was Irina who suggested they walk around the shopping district.Holding a cup of hot latte, Irina walked shoulder to shoulder with Luther through the dense crowd.She sighed. "It's such a shame it didn't snow today."By the way, Luther, has it snowed here in past years?"Irina had not spent Christmas in her hometown for many years. The snow she remembered was from her high school days.Luther replied, "I don't know.""You don't know? Weren't you home?""No, I went to Sterling City."Irina was shocked. "To Sterling City? For work?"Irina was only asking out of curiosity.At that point, Luther stopped walking and looked down at Irina, whose cheeks were slightly red from the cold."To see you."Irina fell silent."Last Christmas, you spent it with Uriah at the college with the international students he was mentoring. The year before, he probably wasn't home, so you went to the convenience stor

    Irina had never imagined she would find herself in such an awkward situation. She did not want to embarrass anyone, but things had come to this point, so she could only keep up the act."Luther, you should head back. Uriah probably has something to discuss with me.""Alright, then. I'll come pick you up from work tonight." As Luther spoke, he raised his hand and caressed Irina's cheek.The gesture looked incredibly familiar, intimate to a degree that made it seem like they had been dating for a long time. After nodding at Uriah in greeting, Luther got in his car and left.Only after the car had driven far away did Irina turn to face Uriah with a cold expression. She asked, "What do you want now? Wouldn't it be better if we both just moved on? Why do you have to keep interfering with my life?""Irina, I resigned. I've decided to work in Lakewood City." Uriah did not get angry at Irina's attitude. Instead, he smiled and stepped forward.Irritated, Irina tossed the bouquet aside, no

    Irina searched through her memory several times, but she just could not remember when or where she had met Luther. If he said he had a crush on her, they must have met before.When Luther heard the question, he scoffed. "Yeah, we've met.""Where? When?" Irina pressed."I think light gray works well. It looks sophisticated. What do you think?"It was obvious Luther had no intention of answering her question. Since he did not want to say it, Irina dropped the matter."Alright, I'll send the revised plans to your phone."Just then, Irina's phone rang.It was Racheal.Though she did not want to answer, she had to. The moment the call connected, Racheal eagerly asked about the situation."Irina, did you meet him? How did it go? Luther is a great guy. He has a good character, is handsome, and makes good money. If you marry him, you'll be set for life."Her phone's speaker was so loud that Luther could hear everything clearly, and he could not help but smile.Irina was smiling too,
