Chapter 1

My childhood sweetheart had his heart broken by me. Seven years after he left to study abroad, he finally came back with his new girlfriend to meet the parents.

And I had finally been told by the hospital that after seven years of fighting cancer, I had failed. I could go home and wait for death.

Seeing me being helped by my mom as I sat in a wheelchair, my childhood sweetheart's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Seven years, and look how pathetic you've become. You can't even walk anymore."

Hearing his voice filled with disgust, I simply pulled down my sleeve calmly, covering the countless needle marks that dotted the back of my hand.

"It's nothing. I just fell while walking. Just a broken bone."

My childhood sweetheart sneered again.

"Well then, since that's the case — I'm getting married soon. How about you be my fiancée's bridesmaid?"

I remained calm, only smiling faintly.

"I can't. I'm about to go somewhere very far away."

After saying that, I patted the back of my mom's hand, signaling her to quickly wheel me back home.
