AT THE HOSPITAL

Lu rushed straight to the hospital. When he finally found Zie, he was lying still on the bed—so pale, so peaceful, as if nothing in the world could hurt him anymore.

“Ah, there you are… my beautiful husband.”

Lu brushed a strand of hair gently from Zie’s face, his voice trembling with raw emotion.

“Why did you do this? Why leave me like that? Do you truly not want me anymore? How could you even think of divorcing me?”

He leaned down and pressed a soft, lingering kiss to Zie’s forehead.

“I won’t let you go. I’ll never let you go again. I’ve finally realized it— I’m so deeply in love with you. I’ll do anything to make you stay, my love.”

Tears streamed down his face as he held Zie tightly in his arms.

Just then—Ring! Ring! Ring! His phone blared sharply.

He answered, his voice dropping into a dark, dangerous tone: “What is it?”

“U-um, Sir… your meeting with your business partners is about to start. They’ve been waiting for quite a while now…” his secretary stammered nervously.

“Fine. I’ll be there,” Lu replied coldly. “But wait for me. Don’t you dare leave my side, Zie. I’ll be back soon.”

⏳ BEFORE THE ACCIDENT

【POV: ZIE】

I truly hope Lu will be happy. I’ll give him everything he wants. I know once he learns the truth, he’ll be glad—finally, he can be with the one he truly loves.

(Tears silently slip down my cheeks)

My only wish has always been his happiness. If he can never love me, then let him find all his joy with my sister. Farewell, my only love, Lu Bouran. May you be happy together.

I take the divorce paper from the table and walk out—ready to leave everything behind.

“Very well… this is all I have left. Goodbye, our home. Goodbye, Lu.”

I force a faint smile, but my eyes are heavy with sorrow.

Just then—RING… RING… RING…

“Hello there, my little champkin~ Where have you been hiding?” Erwin’s voice bubbles with playful mischief, bright and teasing.

I huff, though there’s no real anger—just a tired, soft warmth. “Champkin my ass. Don’t call me that, you idiot.”

“Ah, but it’s so cute! And you know you love it~” He laughs, light and teasing.

“Cute my foot. Cut the nonsense, Erwin—let me talk to Luci.”

“Easy, easy~ I’m just teasing our sweet boy,” Luci’s voice comes in, soft and gentle, like a warm hug. Then he turns to Erwin, firm but kind: “Erwin, stop teasing him so much—can’t you see he’s feeling down?”

Erwin chuckles, backing off but still playful. “Alright, alright~ Fine then—let’s settle it once and for all. Luci, who is your boyfriend? Me… or him?”

There’s no hesitation in Luci’s voice—soft, sure, and full of love: “Of course it’s him. Who else? It’s always been Zie. Only Zie.”

Hearing those words, I finally let out a small, genuine laugh—my heart feeling a little lighter, a little less alone.
