Chapter 1

Thirty minutes later, the office door finally opened.It was the new male secretary.He straightened his disheveled clothes and gave me a disdainful snort before swaggering away.I, Jeremy Sandler, had seen this kind of provocation hundreds of times.At first, it would break my heart and bring me to tears.Now, I was actually used to it.I pushed open the door.Cassidy Simone heard my footsteps.She turned around, and the moment she saw me, her brows furrowed."What are you doing back here?"Didn't I tell you not to come to the company unless there's something important?"I hesitated.Suddenly, I stuffed the medical report in my hand into my bag and said, "Cassidy, let's get a divorce."She stopped smoking for a moment.She then snorted and looked at me."What? Can't take it anymore? You were the one who begged and begged, doing everything you could to marry me."Just as she finished speaking, the phone on her desk vibrated twice.It was a call from Henry Sandler.Cas

When I returned to the villa, I realized Hannah Simone, Cassidy's adoptive mother, had been waiting for me for a long time.The moment she saw me, she came over and asked, "Jeremy, you're finally home."You went to the hospital for your checkup today. Did you get the results? You've barely had an appetite these past few days. Are you feeling unwell?"I lowered my gaze and calmly lied to her."Not at all, Hannah."The doctor said I only have a digestive problem. I ate a little too much and experienced indigestion. It's nothing serious."Hannah had always treated me well.Since I had already made up my mind to get a divorce, there was no reason to make her worry about me.The concern on Hannah's face faded, but her tone remained gentle."Oh, that's good to hear. Your health is the most important thing. I'll have Jessie make you some soup to help with your digestion. Drink some later.""Thank you, Hannah."Hannah seemed like she wanted to say something else, but the villa door

Cassidy's sudden accusation caught me off guard.What was she angry about?In the past, I had been like a hysterical madman who did everything I could to catch her cheating. I went through her phone to look for flirty messages and tried every possible way to keep her away from other men.Back then, she had been utterly fed up with me. She even called me unreasonable and said I was crazy.Wasn't this better?Somehow, Cassidy still wasn't satisfied. She thought I was giving her the cold shoulder.I suddenly felt exhausted. I took a deep breath.After pulling my wrist free from Cassidy's grip, I said calmly, "I'm not giving you an attitude. I'm just tired and want to rest."After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly recalled something and stopped.I turned around and said, "Cassidy, I've signed the divorce agreement. I left the original place where it was. If you have time tomorrow, let's go to city hall and get the divorce registered."The anger on Cassidy's face faded.Sudd

The air felt tense.Cassidy swallowed as if she was suppressing her anger.After a long silence, she suddenly glared at me viciously."Because you deserved it!"To be honest, when I first met you, I had a pretty good impression of you. If you hadn't been so determined to marry into my family back then, why would my mom have threatened to kill herself just to make me marry you?"I've had enough! I'm sick of being controlled and having everything arranged for me. I want my freedom. I told you that before. You said you didn't care, and you insisted on marrying into my family. So don't blame me for treating you this way. You brought it on yourself!"Cassidy screamed it all out in one breath.She then slumped heavily against the back seat while breathing hard.I listened quietly.I wasn't particularly surprised. I just found it absurd.Looking at Cassidy's furious expression, I sincerely apologized."I'm sorry for all these years. I was the one who held you back."We're getting

Cassidy immediately realized what had happened. Clutching the diagnosis report, she collapsed to her knees.She began stammering incoherently."N-No."W-Was Jeremy sick? I didn't know."I never thought that shove would–"She kept repeating herself while crying like a helpless child.She then took another look at the other documents inside the folder.They included my earlier diagnosis of early-stage stomach cancer, as well as the diagnosis from my hospitalization after the massive hemorrhage.[The patient was taking anticoagulants following a surgery. For unknown reasons, the patient suffered massive internal bleeding. Due to excessive blood loss, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.]Cassidy felt a chill down her spine. Before she could even scream, she collapsed backward."Cassidy!""Ms. Simone!"Alarmed cries echoed through the room.The bodyguards and several attendants hurried forward. They supported the unconscious Cassidy and carried her to a nearby sofa.Someo

Right then, there was a gentle knock on the door.Henry entered cautiously with a bowl of oatmeal."Cassidy, you haven't eaten anything all night. Have some oatmeal. It'll help with digestion."He had already calculated everything carefully.Now that I was gone, the Simone family was in complete chaos. Cassidy was devastated. This was exactly when she needed comfort the most.As long as he seized the opportunity to stay by her side and comfort her with gentle words, perhaps he could soften her attitude and get her to agree to let him marry into her family.However, Henry's calculations were far too simplistic. He had also clearly overestimated his place in Cassidy's heart.The moment Cassidy saw Henry's face, all the anger she'd been suppressing surged.She knocked the bowl of oatmeal out of his hands and yelled, "Get out! You jerk! Thief! Why did you steal Jeremy's belongings? You're the one who killed him! It's all because of you!"Henry's face turned pale. The oatmeal had s

It seemed as if Henry hadn't understood what Cassidy said. His eyes went wide.He murmured in disbelief, "You love me! Cassidy, you clearly love me!"Cassidy didn't look at him again. Instead, she turned to face the bodyguards standing by the door.She ordered harshly, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear me?"Make sure Mr. Sandler over here gets to Donavaria safely. He is never to return."The bodyguards didn't dare hesitate any longer.They stepped forward, hoisted the limp Henry up, and dragged him outside."No! Cassidy, you can't do this to me!"Cassidy ignored the crying and cursing behind her. She continued to stare blankly out the window.After a long while, she murmured, "I have to find Jeremy. He can't leave me."Her voice was so soft. It sounded like she was trying to hypnotize herself into believing it.However, she was destined never to find me.That very night, I had already boarded a private charter flight out of the country.After Cassidy shoved me, I

While Cassidy froze up, I remained completely composed.She shifted her feet and seemingly wanted to step forward but didn't dare to. She simply stood there and fidgeted around with her fingers. Her gaze remained fixed on me without blinking. I could see the burning emotions in her eyes.I walked toward her first.I stopped at a polite distance and asked, "Do you want to have a chat?"Cassidy nodded and immediately followed me.We went into a random cafe in the airport and sat down.Only then did Cassidy speak."Jeremy, you're really alive. It's been three years, and you've changed so much."I raised a hand and brushed away a strand of hair near my ear."Yeah. School was demanding overseas, so I stopped paying as much attention to my appearance."What about you? How have you been these past three years?"Cassidy's grip on the table tightened.She looked at me, and her eyes immediately turned reddish. Tears pooled in them and almost spilled over."I've missed you so much
