I Saved His Life, He Left Mine

To save my boyfriend, Andrews, I got injured and ended up in the hospital.

Months later, the doctor said my wounds were healing well, and I could finally be discharged.

Andrews looked at me with tenderness in his eyes.

"That's great, Pegula. You're okay. I can finally rest easy."

My heart swelled with joy. "Once I'm out, we'll get married."

But he shook his head, a hint of apology in his smile.

"What I meant was, I can finally rest easy and leave."

"Ramon has been waiting for me for over half a year. I couldn't possibly break up with you while you were sick; that would be too cruel."
