I am the top jewelry designer in the country.
For our wedding, I designed a pair of rings called "Forever Promise" that told the story of my decade-long love with Caelan, becoming a beautiful industry fairy tale.
Hospital regulations prohibit doctors from wearing rings during work hours.
So Caelan made a habit of always wearing our wedding ring on his chest.
He said it was as if I lived on his heart.
Later, his first love slipped a plain ring onto his finger.
He couldn't bear to take it off even while working.
I finally understood that my carefully designed ring was no match for her simple band.
His ring finger had always been reserved for someone else.

I Am a Jewelry Designer, Yet He Only Loves a Plain Ring

In the hospital lobby, a man brandished a large kitchen knife, screaming maniacally.


The surrounding crowd gasped and retreated.


We stood on the periphery, scattered by the panicked throng.


Suddenly, a little girl next to me burst into tears, catching the crazed man's attention.


He fixed his malevolent gaze on me, muttering incoherently, and charged rapidly in my direction.


My mind went blank in an instant. I wanted to run, but my body refused to move.


I heard Caelan shout, "Indra! Come here, quick!"


Instinctively, I looked towards his voice. Caelan was watching me anxiously, the concern in his eyes seemed genuine.


I mumbled, reaching out my hand, "Caelan..."


His brow furrowed as he started to run towards me, but his hand was seized by another woman.


Nolan crouched down, clutching her chest, and sobbed:


Perhaps it's because our senses are heightened in tense situations.


I clearly saw Caelan hesitate for a moment, then crouch down and wrap Nolan in his arms, comforting her like a fragile lover, whispering, "It's okay, I'm here."


The next moment, I was tackled by the man, my head slamming hard against the floor.The man screamed as he raised the knife. The blow to the back of my head made me forget how to struggle. In despair, I closed my eyes.


The expected pain never came. Several good Samaritans intercepted the man, and security guards quickly arrived to subdue him.


My head spun, and Caelan's face appeared before my eyes.


He gripped my hand tightly, his expression filled with extreme anxiety as he called out my name.
