Chapter 6

And this diagnosis result, apart from me, only Alec, who had relatives working at the hospital, knew about.

I thought, hatred was easier to let go of than regret.

So to keep it hidden, I had no choice but to tell Alec every little detail of what happened when we were kids.

Then, pretending to be heartless, I deliberately crafted an image of someone who had never loved:

"I got together with you for money and benefits, taking his place of honor. But I've realized that no matter how many years pass, I can't bring myself to love a sickly person who's always on medication. That's why I've decided to come clean with you."

"I'll resign from the company and take my parents away from here. Let's part ways amicably and be strangers from now on."

These words were quite shameless, but that's exactly what I wanted - to make Krista see my true colors.

Sure enough, after hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately called Alec over to confront us face to face.
