Love Story - Chapter 14
Three months after the breakup.
I quickly resigned from Nico's company, only retaining my shares, and began a long vacation.
During this time, I rekindled my interest in painting, implemented the long-postponed fitness plan, and when I had time, prepared materials for studying in France.
Previously, due to being too busy with work, I had developed some health issues with my stomach and cervical spine. After careful nurturing during this period, they gradually improved.
Every time Daisy saw me, she exclaimed how good I looked.
"Emily, I'm starting to wonder if the previous you was somehow sealed away by Nico?"
"He really should see you now, radiant and completely different from before."
I smiled. The saying "loving someone is like tending to a flower"
is true.
It was only when the filter was removed that I realized what I had thought was happiness before was actually consuming myself.
Now, I truly understand how to love myself.
One day, I received a call from an unknown number.
"Emily..." came a crying voice from the other end.
