After the miscarriage from the car accident, I was overwhelmed with grief and lost my appetite.
To console me, Nolan organized an extravagant proposal ceremony.
Three days before the wedding, I went to pick him up from his bachelor party.
Unexpectedly, I overheard the conversation between him and his friends:
"Nolan, you deliberately sent someone to cause that car accident, just to get the fetal blood to save Delia's life? Didn't you consider what would happen if Melody found out? That was your child!"
"You're willing to sacrifice everything for Delia, even yourself?"
"It's just one child. As long as Delia can survive, I'd be willing to sacrifice a hundred children! As for Melody, she won't find out. She still thinks I'm in love with her."
Tears fell as my whole body froze.
So it turns out, our child was killed by his own hands.
Even the wedding I'd been looking forward to for five years was an elaborately planned deception.
If that's how it is, I'll agree to the arranged marriage my family wants.
This wedding, I'm giving it back to you!

Love is Hard to Express, Emotions Wound Deeply

The look of favoritism didn't escape Nolan's notice.


He found it increasingly difficult to speak.


"Um, I'm here for the wedding reception."


The emotion in his eyes momentarily made me feel like we'd returned to the past.


I got my wish and married this year, to a stranger I'd only met twice.


And he, as he wished, became the head of a publicly traded company.


I smiled and nodded, following Quint to toast him.


As I drained my glass in one gulp, I caught a fleeting tear in the corner of his eye.


Five years of feelings led him to leave us with one last moment of dignity.


Until the wedding ended, he didn't speak again.


Meanwhile, Ivor sent him many messages.


The first five were evidence of Delia bribing the hospital doctors for her surgery.
