Chapter 2

Andrew looked at me,surprised.

He brought over the leftovers and put them in front of me.

I was wrapped in bandages.

The nurse looked sad when she gave me my medicine.

But Andrew looked at me with disgust.

He couldn't stand the smell of my rotting body.

He looked like he was going to vomit.

'I got these to eat.Eat them yourself or I will get someone to feed you.'

He pushed the food in front of me and stayed one meter away from me.

But when he served Gillian,he leaned tightly against her.

He hated the meal so much that he couldn't even eat it.

I looked at him.

He was too obvious about it.

He said,'I wanted to go back to save you after Gillian was rescued,but you were gone and that place had caved in.'

'It was dangerous.I couldn't stay.You don't blame me from not saving you,do you?'

Save me?

He followed Gillian into the ambulance without looking back.The ambulance crew asked him if there was anyone else there.He shook his head and I was trapped under the concrete slab.He called off the ambulance team and left.Why did he leave me there?

She saw me chatting with Andrew for too long and pretended to be in pain,shouting loudly.

Andrew left without looking back after hearing her voice.

He heated up the food and fed Gillian a little.

He helped Gillian clean her wound.

Her body smelled too.

But Andrew didn't even frown,rubbing it with a sad heart.

And I...

There were not enough nurses to take care of me because there are too many patients in need of rescue..

I wanted water.

Andrew didn't hear me.I had to shout several times.

I reached for the water bottle and I fell to the ground.

Andrew stepped on my hand with the hot meal.

He went to Gillian's side.

'I am thirsty...'

I shouted again.

The nurse who was looking after me saw that I had fallen.

She looked at the couple and shouted,'Can't you see this patient?''Can't you help her get a glass of water?She has injuries all over her body!'

He pretended not to see it and stepped over my hand,but he was acting pitifully.

The doctor came over and said the single-person ward was ready.He told Andrew to take his girlfriend there.

A single room?

The earthquake was so sudden that several public hospitals were full.Gillian and I ended up at the most expensive private hospital in the city.

This ward cost more.

He asked for a single room.

The nurse who gave me the injection said,'That boy took a lot of money,about a hundred thousand!'He took the single room and said he was heartbroken for his girlfriend.

More than a hundred thousand!

Where did he get so much money?

Chapter 3

The next night,Andrew came to my ward with a gift.

He gave me an apple as a gift.

I asked,'Who's getting married?'

'Gillian and I.'He said.

He wasn't divorced yet,so how could he say he was going to marry Gillian in front of me?

I threw the gift in the bin.

'You have to wait for me to die or get divorced before marrying your first love,Andrew.Why are you so disgusting?'

'I'm innocent.I'm just trying to fulfil one of her wishes.'

He took out a map of the wedding site.

This wedding was more luxurious than mine.

It looked expensive.

He said,'Gillian was going to marry her first love.Her first love died in an accident because of the message I sent.I was trying to make up for it.I was planning to help her fulfil this wish so that she could have a perfect wedding.'

I laughed.

When he knew Gillian was getting married,he was angry.

He wished he could have killed me and Gillian’s fiancéback then and so he could have married Gillian.

He sent his fiancée photos of him and Gillian,which made her almost get into a car accident.

He wants to give Gillian a perfect wedding instead of her fiancé.

I laughed angrily.

'To make it complete.'

'Let's divorce!'

He stood up.

'I didn't come to talk about divorce.I love you,Jolene.I just want you to be the bridesmaid and hand her to me.My mother died to save you.You should help me.'

'If my mum was here,I wouldn't even come to ask you.'

His mum?

I remembered something.

After my parents'accident,I got five million dollars in compensation.Now I have less than fifty thousand.

'You used mum and dad's death compensation to give you and Gillian a wedding!'

'That's my family's money.If my mum hadn't helped you,you wouldn't have had the life to take that much money!'

My parents'lives were exchanged for this money.

He thinks this money is his!

He moved Gillian to a single room and planned a big wedding.

My phone rang.

'Hello,is this Jolene?'

'Yes,what's up?'

'We rescued a patient who woke up today.He remembered your name and number,so we want to confirm:do you know Mr.Johnson‌‌?'

Gillian’s first love,William‌‌Johnson‌‌?

He's alive?
