Chapter 1

My breakup with my girlfriend was ugly.

The year she loved me the most, I accepted $500,000 from her father to make her abort our child and disappear.

She knelt before me, crying and begging me not to be so cruel.

She gave birth to our child in secret and left the baby at my rented apartment.

She said she would hate me for the rest of her life.

Six years later, when we met again, she had found a boyfriend from a similar background and was about to get married.

I came to her in a desperate state, hoping to borrow some money.

She forced me to attend her wedding, wanting me to witness her marrying another man.

She asked if I regretted my actions.

What she didn't know was that I had been raising our child alone.

That child was now sick and dying.

Six years after our breakup, I ran into Emily again during the lowest point of my life.

It was at a class reunion, and no one expected Emily to show up.

Someone joked, "Emily, you never keep in touch with us. Why did you suddenly decide to come to the reunion this year?"

"Did you hear Jack was coming and still have feelings for him?"

I sat in the corner, my back suddenly stiffening as I looked up to see Emily coldly staring at me.

Everyone knew how much Emily used to love me.

She was the daughter of a wealthy family, but she fell in love with me at first sight.

That year, she cut ties with her family for me, giving up everything just to be with me.

We lived in a tiny rented apartment, sharing instant noodles and porridge, living a hard but happy life.

Every passionate night, we held hands and vowed to be together forever.

Until later, when she got pregnant.

Her parents despised my background and were furious. They approached me privately, offering me $500,000 to force her to abort our child and leave her.

That day, Emily knelt before me, begging me not to abandon her.

She pleaded over and over, crying: "Jack! Jack... I don't want anything else, I just want you. Let's work hard together, earn many times that $500,000, and build our own home, okay?"

"I'm begging you, don't leave me, and don't abandon our child..."

Later, Emily secretly went to a private hospital to give birth to our child.

She left the baby in front of my rented apartment, separated by a small door.

I heard Emily say:

"Jack, I'll hate you for the rest of my life."

"You'll never have a good day again."
