Chapter 4

My mom came into the room.

Seeing me sit up, her expression was still very unpleasant.

But I directly hugged her.

"Mom, please help me fulfill this regret before I die, okay?"

Mom's eyes immediately reddened, but as someone who always doted on me, she still went to the vanity to get lipstick and a wig for me, and helped me put on a down jacket.

As soon as she wheeled me out the door, Ethan furrowed his brows.

"What's wrong with you? You were delicate as a child, and now as an adult, you're still so delicate. You just have a lame leg, and your mom is so old, yet you still need her to take care of you personally."

Looking at his disgusted expression, I only smiled calmly. "The doctor said my fracture is quite serious and told me not to get out of bed for a while."

As soon as I finished speaking, Sophia, standing beside Ethan, said to me:

"Jenny, don't take it personally with Ethan. He's just gotten used to being abroad."

"Except for me, he has this sour face with everyone."

My heart felt sour again. Ethan indeed had a sour face with everyone, but before, with me...

I quickly suppressed the strange feeling in my heart, then looked calmly at Sophia.

"Do you really want me to go with you to choose a wedding planning company?"

"If you really need me, I'll go with you."

Sophia immediately nodded.

"Of course, of course."

After that, I exchanged a few more pleasantries with them before sending them out.

That evening, Ethan called me.

He said to have me accompany him to the wedding planning company tomorrow.

My fingers holding the phone were clenched tight.

First, because I was greedy for his voice.

Second, because I was nervous.

After all, it had been seven years since I had heard his voice alone on the phone like this.

You know, seven years ago, I would hide under my blanket every night and fall asleep listening to his deep, mellow voice.

But just as I was immersed in memories, a female voice rang out:

"Ethan, come help me dry my hair..."

I suddenly snapped back to reality and quickly hummed in acknowledgment.

And the moment Ethan heard my response, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone, tears suddenly spilled out.

Although I had prepared myself, seeing and hearing firsthand that Ethan now belonged to another girl still made my heart ache sourly.
