“Just vent your anger at me if you have any. Sofia is sick, and she can’t be provoked like this.”
“How could you do this to her? Don’t you have any empathy?”
So, that was the man I had loved for twelve years, to whom I had devoted my entire youth. He blamed me for being cruel. How ridiculous!
A few years ago, Aiden suffered from leukemia. It was me who donated my bone marrow to save him.
During the time I was in the hospital, Grandpa got up early every day to cook for us. He traveled about three hours per day between home and the hospital to look after us.
Aiden held my hand and swore that he would never betray me in his life.
He also knelt in front of Grandpa and promised that he would treat me well all his life and would never allow me to suffer any grievances.
But only a few years later, he forgot his promises, caused Grandpa to die, betrayed me, and even accused me of not being empathetic enough.
“Aiden, you are the ungrateful one!”
Aiden’s face changed a bit, and he seemed uncomfortable.
Sofia narrowed her eyes and stepped forward to speak up for Aiden.
“Amelia, how can you rake up the past all the time? Besides, even if you hadn’t save Aiden at that time, someone else would have. You knew that Aiden didn’t like you, but you still badgered him and made him repay your kindness. You took advantage of Aiden’s guilt to fulfill your own selfish desires.”
Aiden’s condition was quite severe at that time, and although the Vaughn family tried every possible means, there was still no bone marrow donor available.
It was me who, unable to bear seeing him suffer, bit the bullet and agreed to donate.
“Do you think so too?” I stared at Aiden.
He turned his head and said nothing. So, he tacitly approved.
Well…
I had no desire to talk to them anymore. It would only make me feel that all my previous efforts were a joke.
But they obviously didn’t want to let me go easily.
“Amelia, Aiden and I have already obtained our marriage certificate, anyway. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to continue living in this house…”
I had no intention of continuing to live there, but I felt insulted when she tried to kick me out. Yes, the house was under Aiden’s name.
But Grandpa didn’t want me to be looked down upon by others, so he took out his years of savings and paid for the renovation of the house.
I decorated this house piece by piece and finally turned it into the homeof my dreams.
“Aiden, is this also what you want?”
Aiden coughed to cover up his uneasiness, his eyes wandering, not daring to look into mine. “Sofia just wants a place to live. Please do us the favor and let us have it…”
“Good! Great!” I exclaimed in my heart.
I suddenly picked up the chair next to me and smashed everything in the house to pieces. “Aiden, I’ve decorated the place. I can take it back, right?”
Aiden stammered, a conflicted look appearing on his face again.
Sofia screamed and suddenly fainted.
Aiden picked her up immediately, and before leaving, he gave me a cold look.
“Amelia Harris, if anything happens to Sofia, I won’t forgive you!”
