Love Has Passed and Changed

When my parents passed away in an accident, they entrusted my uncle, Andrew, who wasn't related to me by blood, to take care of me.

But I developed feelings I shouldn't have. After a reckless night, I ended up pregnant.

"I have a fiancée. I took care of you because I promised your parents. You crawling into my bed. I can let that slide.

"But this child can't be kept."

He dragged me to the hospital and forced me to have an abortion. When his fiancée beat me until I was covered in blood, not even that moved him as much as a single tear from her.

At that moment, I finally broke down and walked away.

"Are you really sentencing me to this?"

"Andrew, you're already tainted. I don't want you anymore!"

——

"I have a fiancée. I took care of you because I promised your parents, but you shouldn't have crawled into my bed.

"So, the child you're carrying has to be aborted. We're going to the hospital right now.

"And besides, last time wasn't your first. Who knows which guy you've been messing around with. I don't want that trouble in my life."

"What are you saying?"

It wasn't my first. My first time was a few months ago, when he got drunk and forced himself on me. The next day, I didn't know how to face him, so I snuck away.

And now, it became his excuse to not trust me.

I had been excited, thinking this child would make him see me differently.

Instead, I received this terrible news.

"Andrew, you have a fiancée? Then why..."

"Why were you so kind to me? Why would you even do things like buy me tampons?

And now, you tell me you have a fiancée. What did those two nights mean, then?"

"Lilian, get rid of those thoughts. I'm not interested in a woman who would climb into my bed."

So, in his eyes, I was just like any other woman trying to get into his bed.

"Do I have to get rid of it? What if I said I wanted to keep it?"

I begged him one last time, but he didn't care.

"Don't make me force you!"

"I understand."

I held back my tears and followed him. In just over an hour, I had gone from joy to devastation.

But the man in front of me remained as cold as ever, as if it hadn't been his child that was just taken away.

I weakly leaned against the wall, taking slow steps forward. Andrew tried to help me, but I avoided his touch.

"Lilian, could you stop being so troublesome? I can't keep cleaning up after you all day."

I forced a smile, holding back my tears.

"I'm sorry, Andrew. I understand."

Ignoring the shocked look on Andrew's face, I returned to the villa, only to run into his fiancée.

"You must be Andrew's niece, right? I'm his fiancée. I'll be living here from now on."

So, they were already living together. The pain in my heart hit me in waves.

"You'll stay at the downtown apartment for the next few days. Leah had a fight with her family, so she'll be staying here for now. It would be inconvenient for you to stay."

I lowered my head.

"Okay, understood."

Suddenly, I noticed a few trash bins near the couch, in the kitchen corner, and at the foot of the stairs.

Quietly, I walked over to check, and the sight nearly made me faint.

"Lilian, are you okay?"

Leah walked over, holding my hand, noticing how I was staring at the familiar items in the trash.

Leah playfully glared at Andrew.

"It's all Andrew's fault for being so reckless. Now everything's a mess, and Lilian had to see it."

Andrew kissed Leah in front of me.

"You minx, it's your fault for being so irresistible. We're all adults here, there's nothing to be shy about."

Holding back the pain, I stood up and quickly walked to my room. The moment the door shut behind me, I couldn't hold back my sobs anymore.
