Chapter 9

Later, she provocatively sent me a pregnancy test result.

Thank you for letting me leave, Ms. Perez. Leland said it’s too hard for me to work while pregnant. I really appreciate your understanding. I hope you’ll be more sensible in the future.”

She followed it with a photo of their intertwined hands.

My breathing became rapid. I struggled to keep myself from losing control.

Despite my efforts, my nails dug into my palms.

I told myself not to get angry. I only had less than a month left before I could leave, didn’t I?

I stayed in the hospital for a week. My stomach condition improved a lot.

Leland worked during the day and took care of me at night, which must have been exhausting.

I admit I was addicted to relying on him. The thought of leaving stung my heart.

But he was slowly falling out of love with me, wasn’t he?

That day, I bought two cameras online. I secretly left the hospital and went back home.

After setting up the cameras, I started packing.

I buried all the photos of Leland and me, along with the happy memories we once shared.

I sold the Cherry Farmland, knowing my laughter would never echo there again.

I told Leland I was home and not to worry. He had Lara make me nourishing soup and reminded me to eat on time.

That night, Leland sent a message saying he had urgent work and wouldn’t be coming home.

Caitlyn sent me photos of them spending the night at a hotel. She was sitting on the bed in a sexy nightgown. Another photo hinted at Leland in the

shower.

I wasn’t stupid. What happened next was obvious.

This time, I stayed strong. I didn’t cry like I used to.

Since I was planning to leave, it was time to let go of someone who didn’t belong to me.

I decided to stop deceiving myself and face reality.

Today was Leland’s birthday. I finished packing and hid my belongings. The dreams I once had of a future with him had become a heavy burden.
