Lahat ng Kabanata ng Trio to Duo: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I snapped a photo of them with a click and then turned around into the rain.When I got home and took a shower, it was already 2:30 am; Jade still had not sent a single explanation for standing me up.The department head, Tim Arren, tagged me in the group chat.Tim: [Damian, the patient in Bed 19 just hit the call button. Why didn't you go?]I sent the photo over. [Dr. Arren, Dr. Graham was in the on-call room today, so I headed back first.]Just as I was about to cook some pasta, Jade's message popped up.Jade: [Damian Lake, why did you post the photo in the group chat and shift the blame onto Oliver?]It had been five years, yet she had always called me, her boyfriend, by my full name, yet she had a special name for my supervising physician.The continuous stream of messages hurt my eyes.I quoted the last one. [Jade, where are you? The rain is so heavy.]She merely replied with: [?]The chat box showed she was typing, but the message she sent was. [Explain in the group ch

Jade: [The watch was given, the words were spoken, and he was pacified. Damian is always prone to losing his temper. If it weren't for your advice, we would have been in a complete mess this year.]Jade: [If only he were half as mature as you and behaved like a real man.]There was a heavy feeling blocking my throat, and my head felt numb. It turned out all those little gifts to calm me down, those gentle words, those sincere and honest feelings were from another man.I clutched my stomach, dry-heaving as tears welled up in my eyes from the sour, burning ache.When I came out again, Jade had already left.Under the milk was a note: [I'm going to work now. Since you're not angry anymore, remember to explain to Dr. Arren what happened last night when you go to the hospital this afternoon. Don't let Oliver take the blame for you.]'Ridiculous,' I thought as I swiftly tore it in half and threw it in the trash.'Jade, it was you who said I'm insensible and can't be generous enough to

Jade came rushing toward me like a madwoman, screaming at the top of her lungs. However, the sounds gradually faded away.Excruciating pain overwhelmed me as my consciousness faded...When I opened my eyes again, the hospital ceiling was the first thing I saw.Jade kept watch by the bedside; her makeup remained exquisite and alluring, and her elegant curls were styled to perfection. However, her overall state was awful — her eyes were vacant and her expression was one of profound sorrow.Jade had always said that no matter what happened, one had to maintain their composure and demeanor, which were especially crucial for lawyers.This was the first time I had ever seen her like this."You're awake? How are you feeling?" Jade's voice was terribly hoarse."Because I didn't want to have children yet, I had you undergo a vasectomy. Now it's accidentally injured; the doctors say its function hasn't been impaired, but we have to try our luck within the next year if we want children..."

While I was receiving treatment in the hospital, Jade came every day, preparing various kinds of nutritious meals for me.I leaned against the headboard, quietly watching Jade bustle around, tending to everything. Suddenly, I recalled Jade behaving the same way when I had an accident during my sophomore year.At that time, a patient in the same ward exclaimed, "Oh, that girl is nice! She's so kind to her boyfriend. She’s wife material for sure! Young man, you've got a lifetime of happiness ahead of you!"I subconsciously looked at the waist wrapped in bandages, squeezing out a smile that looked even sadder than tears. It seemed as if nothing had changed, but things had already changed beyond recognition.Jade's happiness was not meant for me."Jade, you don't need to do this. We have broken up. Why waste your time on this? Why don't you focus on studying the case instead?"Jade paused in her action of peeling an orange. There was a hint of hurt in her eyes. "Damian, you're rese

Right before the trial started, Jade also brought my parents along.As soon as they saw me, my parents had a look of disappointment and regret on their faces. "Damian, what's with that attitude? Is it really worth getting into this much of a fight with Jade? You should immediately apologize to Jade and Dr. Graham and consider this matter over!"Originally, I did not tell my parents because I did not want them to worry. However, I never expected Jade to tell my parents.Looking at Jade's complicated expression, I rubbed my temples and calmly explained to my parents, "Dad, Mom, I ended up with permanent damage to my fertility because Jade insisted on taking me to court just to protect Oliver. Now, do you still want me to apologize? "My mother's eyes were a little tearful as she comforted me. "Damian, we all know about this. It was an accident. It's not Jade's fault. I know you're sad, but you were the one who was at fault after all. Besides, Jade is willing to give you children. Wha
