In the tenth year of our relationship, when Jaxon learned of my pregnancy, he gifted me a luxurious $80 million mansion for my prenatal care.
Instead, I terminated the pregnancy and booked a one-way ticket to South Africa.
All because in my previous life, I had heeded his words to quit my job for conceiving a baby, sacrificing my entire life for him and our child.
When I was on my deathbed, I discovered 999 love letters he had written to his "pure love."
"You are the most pristine moonlight in my heart. I can't bear to see you tainted by the mundane world's matters."
"Bearing children, managing the household, being filial to elders - these are all things others can do for you. You just need to be happy, content, and live each day radiantly."
Only then did I realize he had long ago transferred all his assets to his "pure love."
Even the child I had given my life to bear had been calling his "pure love" Mom all along.
And I, critically ill, couldn't even afford medical treatment.
I could only pass away miserably under the cold gazes of my husband and daughter.
When I opened my eyes again, I looked at my slightly bulging belly and walked to the hospital to make an appointment for an abortion.

Love for a Decade, I Give Up

I arrived at my destination after a long and winding journey.


The conditions here were rudimentary. After landing, I endured another four to five hours on a bus, leaving me with a backache.


However, seeing the jubilant faces of my colleagues and superiors, all my fatigue vanished in an instant.


"Ms. Vivienne, it's an honor to finally meet you."


"We've all heard about your illustrious history from years ago. We've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, we lost track of you after a while. I was disappointed for a long time, never imagining that we'd end up working together now."


I politely shook hands with the leader as he briefed me on the situation here.


As I listened, a tinge of bitterness unexpectedly welled up in my heart.


If I hadn't made that wrong decision ten years ago, I could have helped so many people during this time.


There were countless refugees and children here who needed my help.
