Two months ago, I suddenly felt feverish and my nose started bleeding profusely.
I endured the discomfort and drove to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with acute leukemia.
At that time, Levi was accompanying Luna to take her dog to the vet.
It turned out when she said she was feeling unwell, it was only because her dog was sick.
And here I was, his lawful wife, a living person who was almost dying, and he didn't even know.
When I forced myself to return home from the hospital, I made a decision.
I wouldn't stay with him any longer, we should end this.
I thought Levi didn't hear me, but he turned his head.
His face showed a trace of disdainful mockery.
"Last time it wasn't lung cancer, so this time it's leukemia."
I knew he didn't believe me.
In the past, I had thrown tantrums and said I was dying.
But this time, it was real.
After Levi left, I quickly packed a few clothes and moved out of the villa.
When he came back again, he wouldn't hear my pleas for reconciliation. I wondered if he would get used to it.
...
My love with Levi was an accident.
Levi had a privileged upbringing and a family business.
He had a top-tier education from a young age, while I was just a delinquent girl.
Maybe out of curiosity, he said he had never seen a girl as bold and flamboyant as me.
Because I would run to the basketball court to fight boys and stand up for bullied girls.
As for him, he was always the aloof rich young master.
One time, he kindly offered his jacket to a girl on her period.
But I mistook him for a pervert harassing the girl.
I dashed over and punched him in the head.
A big lump immediately formed on his head, and I realized I had acted on a good intention gone wrong.
After that, I got to know him and began shamelessly pursuing him.
He was a noble young man, always restrained and polite.
I was a delinquent girl; I didn't care about manners and propriety.
I only knew that I wanted this man.
Because of his words, his parents wouldn't allow him to marry a delinquent girl.
I completely reformed myself into a lady and a top student.
Maybe he was moved, but he finally accepted me.
Although his parents still didn't approve.
But he said he could fight the whole world for me.
We vowed to never part in this lifetime.
Young love is always so pure and passionate.
At that time, we were still in school and had no financial means.
Levi moved out of his home to be with me.
We rented the cheapest small house, and those times were tough for us.
After school, we had to work part-time at a supermarket, and on weekends we washed dishes at a restaurant.
To earn some living expenses, Levi even sold his beloved watch.
But we took joy in our hardships, and I even laughed at how the rich young master had fallen.
Back then, we never thought we would come to this point today.
Lost in thought, I was sitting in this trendy cafe when I unexpectedly ran into Luna.
Luna saw me, first she was startled, then she smiled and greeted me.
At this moment, the waiter brought the coffee I ordered.
"Miss Moore, did you come to have coffee alone?"
I glanced at the people sitting together in the cafe.
It did seem a bit odd, and Luna walked over to me.
"Miss Moore, I heard you have leukemia, it's quite serious. You must treat it well; it's not a terminal illness."
In the past, I would inexplicably tense up when I saw Luna.
But now, I didn't. I smiled slightly at Luna.
"It doesn't matter if I die, doesn't Levi still have you?"
Just as I finished speaking, Levi unexpectedly walked in, his face very cold.
I thought he might have heard what I said.
When Luna saw Levi come in, she immediately took his arm.
"Levi, why did you come so late? I got tired of waiting at the door and finally came in..."
Luna's face showed a mix of coyness and resentment, but her tone was sickeningly sweet.
Levi reached out to pat Luna's shoulder in comfort, then looked at me with a cold expression.
"Aren't you supposed to be dying? Yet you have the leisure to come out for coffee," he said.
I didn't bother to respond and got up to leave.
Levi let go of Luna and grabbed my arm.
"Emma! What's wrong with you? What do you want?" he demanded.
I had left the villa for several days, and he hadn't asked me anything.
Now, he still thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
I shook off Levi's arm and looked at him coldly.
"I don't want anything, just making room for you and your dear assistant!" I said.
Hearing this, the people who had been whispering looked up to watch the gossip.
Levi's tone finally softened.
"The pastries in this cafe are very good. Luna likes them a lot. Why don't you join us?" he suggested.
I let out a cold laugh.
"Enjoy yourselves. I'm not interested," I said.
After saying that, I walked out of the cafe without looking back.
I lived in the house my grandmother left behind. After she passed away, the house had been empty.
There were too many traces of my childhood memories with my grandmother here.
At least, there was nothing that made me feel the despair Levi did.
I had just started the car when Levi suddenly chased after me.
He placed his hand on my car window and asked when I would move back.
At that moment, Luna also chased out, but she was chasing Levi.
"Ouch, Levi, I twisted my ankle. It's all your fault for running out so suddenly..."
Levi frowned, then let go and walked towards Luna.
I let out a cold laugh, closed the car window, and drove away.
A few days later, Levi called me, saying his mom was sick and asked me to come see her.
After work that evening, I drove to the Garcia residence.
As soon as I entered, I saw Levi's parents happily playing with my daughter.
My daughter was being held by Luna, who was peeling a jelly to feed her.
Levi sat on the other side, his hand gently stroking her head.
What a warm and loving family they seemed, while I, the biological mother, was like an outsider!
I walked over, snatched the jelly from my daughter's hand, and pulled her into my arms.
"Kids can't eat whole jellies. Don't you have any common sense?" I said.
Luna looked a bit embarrassed and immediately gazed at me with an aggrieved expression.
"Sorry, Miss Moore, I really didn't know..." Luna said, apologetically.
Levi glared at me unhappily and said coldly.
"Enough, it's just a small thing. No need to make a fuss!"
I looked at Levi's mother, Jane, who was happily eating fruit on the sofa.
"Wasn't it said that mom was sick? She looks fine to me," I said.
Luna immediately chimed in.
"Sick? No, Miss Moore, you must have misheard. Auntie is in great health."
Upon hearing what I said, Jane immediately put on an unpleasant expression.
"What do you mean by that? Are you hoping every day that I'll get sick?" she snapped.
