Chapter 2

Back then, when April had just left, Pierre looked for her everywhere like crazy.

In the end, he drank every night to drown his sorrows and his newly-started career almost came to a complete halt.

Once, he drank so much that his stomach perforated and he fainted at the door of his rental house.

Seeing the man with a painful face, she could not help but emerge from the darkness and send him to the hospital.

Just as she was about to leave, he woke up. He knelt down and begged her not to leave.

“Pierre, don’t be a jerk. I don’t love you anymore. Your shameless look only makes me feel sick.”

After saying these words coldly, she got into the taxi.

She saw him staggering after her in the rearview mirror until he finally fell to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, but she did not stop.

After that, Pierre no longer indulged in love affairs and devoted himself to his career.

At that time, six years had passed, she was suffering from illness and her life was coming to an end.

Pierre had already started a successful business a long time ago and became the President of a well-known listed company, enjoying a glorious life.

April knew that Pierre had actually been looking for her secretly in the early years.

He was still holding a grudge against her for abandoning him and wanted to take revenge on her, but this only stopped in the past two years.

Three months ago, April knew that she did not have much time left, so she stopped hiding and moved back into the rental house that was once filled with their sweet past.

She thought that her situation and Pierre's were completely different and they would never have any intersection again that time.

Unexpectedly, the day after she moved in, Pierre brought Donna to live opposite her. Not only did they become neighbors, but they also humiliated her in various ways.

April sighed, looking helpless as she asked, “Pierre, can we reconcile?”

She only had five days left to live and she just wanted to spend the last moments in peace.

This question made Pierre's breath catch. His eyes were burning when he responded, “We can reconcile, but you have to tell me the truth about why you abandoned me. I don’t believe you will fall in love with another man.”

For so many years, he had always believed that she had her own reasons.

There was expectation in his eyes. If she told him her difficulties, then he would forgive her and he would no longer care about the insults and harm she had done to him in the past.

Unfortunately, April did not give him any chance at all.

“The truth is, I no longer love you, but I have fallen in love with another man.”

Pierre's face suddenly became so gloomy that tears seemed to come out of it. His eyes were red with a hint of hurt. He stared at her with a frown.

April pursed her lips and moved her fingers.

“I have something else to do, so I'll leave first.”

In the end, she could only suppress the urge to smooth his brows, threw down these words and turned away.

Pierre looked at her indifferent back with a cold face. He kicked over the coffee table suddenly, scaring Donna so much that she screamed.

Listening to the noise behind him, April kept walking.

But as soon as she walked out of the room, she could not help vomiting blood. Dark red blood flowed out from between his fingers and dripped onto the ground.

April's first reaction was to close the door with her other hand.

She had only one thought in her mind, she must not let Pierre find out that she was vomiting blood, otherwise all her six years of persistence would be in vain.

April endured the pain, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and fingers, then wiped the blood off the ground, then slowly left.

She did have her own difficulties.

That year, she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Medicine and was rotating in the hospital's Emergency Department. Because the patient deliberately concealed his condition, she was infected with AIDS due to exposed wounds.

When she was diagnosed, she felt like the sky was falling.

Less than three days before getting her Marriage Certificate with her lover, she became an AIDS patient.

Although wearing a condom could better prevent infection, it was not absolute.

The most difficult thing was that she was allergic to condoms. If the two of them wanted to be together, they could only live a sexless marriage.

Pierre was such an outstanding man, how could she bear to let him marry a wife with a hidden illness?

Therefore, she could only cruelly withdraw from his world and hide in the dark to watch over him and protect him.

She was insensitive to AIDS treatment drugs, so the medicine was of little use. After she became ill a year ago, she developed multiple complications, including a very deadly cancer.

At that moment, she could only live for another month at most and she had decided to end her life in five days, so naturally she would not tell the truth.

Chapter 3

When April came out of the Cemetery Management Center, he happened to see Pierre and his girlfriend getting out of the car.

Donna was holding a small paper box in her arms with a sad look on her face.

Pierre put his arm around her shoulders, whispering comforting words as they walked, with a gentle look on his face.

April did not want to meet them, but it was too late for her to hide.

Donna called her, “Miss Randolph, you are here to do business too?”

Seeing the grave purchase contract in April's hand, she pretended to be surprised and said, “Miss Randolph, you’re still so young, but you’re already thinking about buying a grave for yourself?

“However, I heard that this Company's Cemetery has a good reputation and is quite popular. I also want to pick a good piece of land for April!”

As she spoke, she seemed to realize that her words were not appropriate and pretended to apologize, “Oh, Miss Randolph, please don’t mind. I just speak my mind. I didn't mean to compare you with my dog.

“It's just that in my heart, April is no worse than anyone else, so you are the same as it.”

April looked at Donna's eyes full of sarcasm, her face expressionless.

Her nickname was April and the puddle dog that Donna raised was called April. They bought it not long after they moved in. Anyone could tell at a glance that it was done on purpose to disgust them.

She said calmly, “Miss Christian considers herself and dogs to be the same species, so it's not surprising that she would say that.”

Having said that, she planned to pass by.

Pierre stared at the grave purchase contract in her hand, a hint of doubt and worry flashed in his eyes. When he was about to blurt out words of concern, he suddenly thought of what she said in the morning.

He sneered and said, “Donna, you are wrong. How can this woman be compared with a dog? “The dog is much more loyal and obedient than human and deserves a good grave.

“Let's go. Don’t talk too much with this low-minded and vain woman. Be careful not to be contaminated by her.”

After saying that, he pushed April aside, put his arm around Donna's waist and walked inside.

Donna looked back at April, who almost stumbled and fell, with a smug and provocative smile on her face.

April stood firmly, watched the two people's backs walk away, then slowly walked down the stairs with a sad and helpless smile on her lips.

At that moment in Pierre's heart, she was not even as good as Donna's dog, which showed how deep his hatred for her was.

What was a bit funny was that even Donna’s dog had someone to collect the body, but she did not, so she could only ask someone to do it for her.

However, this was the effect she wanted.

She wanted to make Pierre hate her forever. Only in this way, he would not be sad when she died.
