“That night, Logan must’ve crushed you with his answer, huh? You should understand now that you and I are different. He’s been chasing me for five years, and still, he couldn’t have me.
“But you just threw yourself at him. The way he sees us is very different. First love is the most unforgettable. Even if you two are married, I’ll always be embedded in his heart.”
Leah’s words were sharp, each one striking close to the heart. But I was beyond caring.
Seeing that I wasn’t reacting, she lowered her voice and continued, “And you know what? After you left that night, he took me home and stayed over at my place. While you were tossing and turning in bed, he was right next to me, sleeping soundly. That’s the man you’ve loved for three years.”
“Speaking of which,” she added, “Although I caused you some pain, you should thank me, right? I’ve shown you exactly what kind of man he is.”
I furrowed my brow, and my expression grew solemn.
Leah smiled smugly. “Weren’t you so calm just now? What’s wrong? Can’t keep up the act anymore?”
I shook my head.
After a brief pause, I handed her a form and explained, “The ultrasound shows that you might have cancer. I recommend a biopsy to confirm.”
Leah’s smile froze. “What… What did you just say? Are you trying to scare me?”
“Please, I’m not that childish.”
I stood up and began packing away the equipment, cleaning up, and disposing of the waste. My demeanor was calm and collected. I even handed her the fruit basket from the table.
“This is from the one who accidentally injured you. Take it with you. Anyway, though she caused you some pain, you should thank her for helping you discover your health condition, right?”
Leah froze where she stood, her hands going limp.
The fruit basket slipped from her grip, and the fruits spilled across the floor.
The day Logan came to the hospital to find me, it was a rare, sunny day with a clear sky.
During lunch break, I finally had a moment of peace. But then Simon appeared.
Seeing that I was alone, he complained of heart discomfort and asked me to check on him.
Before I could respond, he shut the door behind him, shrugged off his white coat, and lay down on the examination table. Then, he began unbuttoning his shirt.
