"R-Really?" My mother looked at me suspiciously.For all these years, I had barely spent a moment away from Nolan.Even today, on the day he was getting married, he had only been able to leave after staying with me for an entire week.I gave a bitter smile. "His heart isn't with me anymore. What's the point of holding on?"My mother's expression finally relaxed. She wrapped her arms around me and sobbed uncontrollably.I did not know how much time passed before she finally spoke hesitantly. "Then… are you really okay staying here by yourself? I… Nolan wants me to officiate his wedding…"That was when I learned that my mother had personally introduced Evelyn Brook to Nolan.I nodded numbly. I could understand her. Relatives throughout the Swift family worked for the Drake Group.Maybe, to her, Nolan was more important than her own daughter.My mother left, visibly relieved.…However, after all those years with Nolan, I somehow ended up following my mother to the wedding.Wh

The moment the door slammed shut, it took the last trace of love I had for Nolan with it, but I did not even have time to grieve for myself.The next instant, Nolan showed up with Evelyn, demanding an explanation. "Chloe! I told you Evelyn and I are only doing this for appearances. Not only did you show up at my wedding, but you actually tried to ruin Evelyn?"I had no idea what he was talking about.Sasha came running in after hearing the commotion and slammed her phone down in front of me. "Look at what you did! Who's the other woman here? You're the one who's clinging to Nolan without a marriage certificate. You're the other woman!"That was when I found out. Someone had posted a video of me at the wedding online the day before. People had also dug up my history with Nolan.Evelyn was now at the center of a huge scandal over supposedly being the other woman."I didn't—" I instinctively tried to defend myself, but Evelyn cut me off, tears streaming down her face."Nolan, Sasha

For the past few days, Nolan had been carrying a strange sense of unease. He could not shake the feeling that something important was slipping away from him.When my mother first suggested Evelyn to him, Nolan had wanted nothing to do with it. If anything, he had felt trapped. "Mrs. Swift, why would you do that to your own daughter?"My mother had only sighed. "She is not well. I have no idea when she will get better. Nolan, I have watched you look after our family all these years. I have long thought of you as one of my own. I just want you to have a normal wife."He had fallen silent.For some reason, the memory of all the times I had bitten him until he bled suddenly hurt more than it ever had before.And somehow, he agreed to meet Evelyn.Just as my mother had said, Evelyn was warm and cheerful. Being around her was easy. With her, he never had to worry about getting hurt.Before long, Nolan found himself spending more and more time with her.My best friend, Sasha, noticed

My mother stayed in our hometown after that.She went back to the little bedroom. The same room where I had curled up and coughed up blood in the final days of my life.She spent the entire day cleaning. She threw away the bloodstained tissues. She patched the scratches on the wall with spackle, folded my old clothes, and put them neatly into the closet.When she was done, she sat on the edge of the bed and stared for a long time at the brownish stain beneath my pillow that would not come out.It was from a nosebleed I had had in the middle of the night during chemotherapy. The blood had soaked through, and I had never told anyone.She started going through the things I had left behind.There was a cardboard box under the bed. Inside were copies of my medical records, payment receipts, and handwritten instructions from my doctors.My mother went through them one by one. …By the third page, her hands had started to shake.My medical records noted that I had been suffering fr

The day Nolan was buried, my mother came.She was dressed all in black. Her hair had gone completely white, and she had grown so thin that her clothes hung loosely from her frame.She stood in front of the grave and left a bowl of noodles in front of Nolan's headstone.As the steam rose, she said, "Nolan, Chloe loved noodles. Have some together."Sasha stood beside her. During this time, she had been keeping track of Evelyn's case for Nolan.Evelyn did not come. She was still in custody, and the case was moving through the legal process.Later, I heard that her father had asked her lawyer to approach the Drake family and request a letter of forgiveness.Nolan was already gone, and the Drake family had directed all their anger at Evelyn.Five years in prison was something she could not escape.Sasha told me the news at my grave.The wind was strong, scattering the bouquet of white bellflowers in front of my headstone.She picked them up one by one and put them back in place.
