appearance.
“Raquel, I know I was wrong. After going through this, you know I didn’t lie, you really mean a lot to me.”
“We made up, it was me who was foolish before, please give me another chance.”
“Don’t worry, I went abroad for a skin grafting plastic surgery. Although it was impossible to fully restore my appearance to what it used to be, it won’t scare you either.”
My eyes were slightly red, and I turned my head away. “Jared, I appreciate that you got hurt for me, but it doesn’t mean I can forgive you for what you did to me in the past.”
“You deceived me for seven years, the trust between us had long been shattered, there can never be a future
anymore.”
Jared’s eyes dimmed, his lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a word.
I thought for a moment and continued, “I admit, I am not heartless, but those painful memories from the past cannot be erased by a mere accident. Moreover, this is the consequence of your own actions, which I consider to be an undeserved calamity. The way you are now can only be described as self-inflicted.”
The ward fell into silence, with only Jared’s faint breathing.
I looked at him lying on the sickbed, with not much resentment in my heart, only deep exhaustion remained.
Love died. No amount of remorse can make a difference.
After a long while, I whispered, “Take good care of yourself and I hope you can live a good life in the future.”
After saying that, I turned around and walked away with determined steps.
A few months later, “Romance” was released.
It achieved both box office success and critical acclaim.
