My boyfriend suffered from severe depression and attempted suicide several times.

In order to treat his illness, I, Zendaya Hearst, gave up the qualification for pursuing my postgraduate study, rented a house off campus and worked hard to earn money while taking care of him.

I finally earned enough money to let my boyfriend stay in a big hospital and receive the best psychological treatment.

On the hospital bed, my boyfriend's pale face once again bloomed with a smile.

"Zendaya, you are the only light in my life. When I recover from my illness, I will hold a grand wedding and make you the happiest woman in the world," he said.

At that moment, I burst into tears. My boyfriend’s words made me feel that all my sincere efforts were worth it.

Three days later, I got a part-time job as a photo studio assistant.

On the stage, Sarah Coleman, the beauty who was wearing a pure white wedding dress, snuggled up with her boyfriend with a sweet smile.

I held the flower basket and stood there in shock, then tears streamed down my face.

A few moments ago, I just received a text message from my boyfriend.

[Zendaya, I'm going to the hospital for a follow-up check today, so I can't have dinner with you.]

[Love you ~ Killian]

——

On the stage, my boyfriend, Killian Ryder, dressed elegantly and chatted and laughed with the famous wealthy second-generation in the campus. He did not look poor or depressed at all.

I could not believe what was happening before my eyes, so I dropped the flower basket, turned around and ran away in a panic.

As I turned around, I saw my boyfriend's panicked and stunned eyes. He chased out the door and grabbed my shoulder.

Behind my boyfriend, Sarah was also wearing a wedding dress. She held my boyfriend's arm and said in a sarcastic tone, "Zendaya, I heard from Killian's family that you are quite good at serving people. What's going on today?"

I was so angry that my chest heaved violently and I just wanted to run away. "I won't make any money from you!"

My boyfriend glanced down at me and then said coldly, "Get back to work!"

Sarah threatened on the side. "Otherwise, I will complain to the campus part-time job group and you will never get any orders in the future."

I used all my money to pay Killian’s hospital bills. If I did not get a part-time job, I would be hungry for a long time.

I returned to the studio with tears in my eyes, sprinkled petals for Killian and Sarah and lifted her skirt.

They looked like a prince and a princess on the stage, shining brightly, while I looked like their lowly maid. Thanks to my boyfriend, I lost all my self-esteem in an hour.

At the end of the work day, I walked forward in the pouring rain, lost in my thoughts.

Suddenly, an umbrella was held over my head.

Killian's expression was gentle and his voice was full of charm. "I'll take you back."

I held back my tears and stared fixedly at the man. "The outfit you're wearing is enough to cover my living expenses for a year!"

"You're obviously very wealthy, but you still cheated me out of all my money to support you and treat your illness. Is it fun to play with my feelings?!"

Killian's eyes were red, he lowered his head and said nothing. He still held the umbrella over my head, restrained his emotions and said, "Zendaya, everything can be fake, but my love for you will never be fake."

"Please, be patient for another seven days."

"I will give you an explanation in seven days."

I snatched the umbrella, threw it on the ground and slapped him hard. "You damn scumbag, put away your umbrella and your hypocritical kindness!"

"I am not worthy of the rich young master, nor am I as beautiful as Sarah, but I should not be the one you fool around with!"

"Go away and don't ever show up before me again!"

After saying those words, I immediately left, walking alone in the rain and crying hysterically. Recalling every moment we had spent together, it felt like I was having a sweet dream.

Two years ago, I met Killian in the hospital room.

He was lying on the bed in a double room, his face pale and his eyes helpless, like a wounded puppy, with scars on his wrists from a failed suicide attempt.

Later, I found out that his parents had died in a car accident and his family had gone bankrupt, causing him to suffer from severe depression.

When I first moved in, my boyfriend shared his experience of fighting depression with me.

When I exhibited somatic symptom disorder, he comforted and protected me, preventing me from harming myself.

During the most difficult time, we leaned on each other for warmth and established a romantic relationship.

After a short period of treatment, my condition had basically recovered, but my boyfriend's was getting worse and worse. What was even worse, he had no money for treatment.

Therefore, in order to treat his illness, I gave up the qualification for pursuing my postgraduate study and started doing various odd jobs. Tutoring, cleaning and kitchen assistance ... I had done any jobs I could get.

I was afraid that my boyfriend would have no one to take care of him if he fell ill at night while living in the dormitory, so I rented a house off campus.

My friends around me who knew about it said that it was not worth it for me to do this. However, I had already had the confidence that Killian was the person who would accompany me throughout my life.

Even if I only slept for four hours a day and had bagged instant noodles for every meal, I did not feel aggrieved.

Under my careful care, Killian's condition began to gradually improve.

The doctor said that after taking the last course of treatment, he would recover!

Today was my birthday and also the day my boyfriend was discharged from the hospital. To celebrate this day, I managed to get a part-time job at a wedding photography studio and earned eighty-five dollars!

It had been two years! My beloved Killian could finally recover and I was finally willing to buy myself a birthday cake.

I could have never imagined that the couple who was going to take a wedding photo would be my boyfriend and the beauty of the campus, Sarah ....

The eighty-five dollars was also a "reward" given to me by my boyfriend.

I had cried so much that I lost my voice and my face was numb when I returned to campus.

I glanced at the schedule and noticed that the dance club had an important event that would count towards academic credits.

I did not have time to change my clothes and walked into the venue all wet.

In the center of the event venue with more than a hundred people, Sarah, who was wearing a white dress, exquisite makeup and elegant dancing shoes, danced gracefully with her boyfriend.

I was not in the mood to watch her performance, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Zendaya, where are you going?" Sarah's voice suddenly sounded.

Countless people's eyes were focused on me.

I turned my head and looked at her in astonishment.

A faint smile flickered across the corner of her mouth and she said, "I would like to take this opportunity of the club activities to express my gratitude to my classmate, Zendaya, in public."

"During the two years I was abroad for exchange, she provided sexual services to my boyfriend for two years and fifteen days."

There was an uproar in the whole venue.

More than a hundred people were whispering and pointing at me. Shameless bitch, what a despicable girl ....

Countless sharp words pierced my eardrums.

Sarah's face was filled with a triumphant expression.

"To show my gratitude for your hard work, I will charge you fifteen dollars per night according to your market price, a total of eleven thousand twenty-five dollars."

She took out a thick stack of money from her branded bag and placed it on the table, saying jokingly, "Now, let's invite Zendaya Hearst to come up to the stage and receive the award!"

The laughter of the crowd rang out and I had almost nowhere to escape under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes.

I gritted my teeth and walked over to Sarah step by step.

The surrounding chatter became increasingly harsh.

"No way, she really has the nerve to take the money?"

"I heard that Zendaya is so poor that she can't even afford the cheapest meal in the cafeteria, so it's normal for her to take the money."

"Fifteen dollars for the night, she's really cheap."

"If it were me, I would never take this money even if I died. She's so pathetic ...."

In the midst of the chatter, I picked up the money on the table and sprinkled it on top of Sarah's head.

I was foolish and naive, I might be fooled by scumbag, but I was not a weak and cheap girl!

More than ten thousand dollars flew through the air and fell one by one to the floor.

Sarah, who was crossing her arms in front of her chest, widened her eyes in surprise. "You! Are you crazy?"

"I never expected you to be even more despicable than I thought!"

I picked up the microphone and cried out to the audience with tears in my eyes. "Killian, stand up!"

In a corner of the hall, my boyfriend stood up with his head down.

I held back the sobs in my throat and complained. "Isn't it satisfying to deceive other girl into sleeping with you and spending money on you while you have a girlfriend?"

Killian lowered his head, not daring to meet my eyes, as if he was feeling guilty.

I could not control my emotions anymore and shouted at him. "Why did you lie to me?"

Killian struggled to lift his head, looked at Sarah and then looked at me. His Adam's apple moved, but he did not say anything.

Sarah smiled and said threateningly, "Dear, if you don't answer, do you really like this bitch?"

His eyes were teary and he said with difficulty, "Zendaya, remember this."

"The reason why you were deceived by me is not only because you are cheap, but also because you are stupid."

He finally spoke up. His every word was like the sharpest knife, piercing my heart fiercely.

I grasped my chest, feeling dizzy and almost suffocated by the pain amid the laughter of hundreds of people.

Before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see Killian rushing towards me. He shouted in panic. "Call a doctor quickly!"

My world was completely fell into darkness.

In a few moments later, I woke up and I found myself lying on the bed of the campus infirmary.

A strange girl sat by the bed and seemed to have been with me for a long time.

Seeing me wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zendaya, you finally woke up."

I remembered that the girl's name was Joanna Ryder. She was Killian's cousin.

I asked weakly, "What are you doing here?"

Joanna took out a bank card and a plastic ring from her pocket. "Zendaya, my brother knows that you have paid the house rent and the hospitals bills for him."

"His secondary card has a limit of one hundred forty thousand dollars, you can use it freely."

"This ring is a token of your love. He hopes you can keep it for him temporarily."

"You just need to be patient for another seven days and my brother will give you an explanation."

I asked coldly, "Are you done?"

Joanna stood up and said politely, "Zendaya, I won't bother you anymore. Take care of yourself."

When I left the infirmary, I broke my boyfriend's secondary card and threw it into the garbage dump along with the plastic ring.

My feelings for him, along with the token of our love, also ended up in the garbage dump.

A scumbag who had deceived me, I did not care about him no matter how rich he was!

I did not have any classes recently, so I bought a train ticket and planned to go back to my hometown to have a rest for a few days.
