Book9 Chapter1.
It's been seven days since I woke up in the hospital, with no one by my side except the nurse.
Thinking about the fiancé who had left me behind, My eyes darkened a bit.
I grabbed my phone, which had run out of battery, borrowed a charger, and turned it on. There was no message from Ethan. Just as I was about to turn it off, I saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen.
As soon as I answered, his accusatory voice pierced through:
"Claire, what are you trying to pull now? In that situation, Vanessa has a heart condition, what was wrong with me taking her away? We were already rescued, there was going to be a second team of rescuers. Why didn't you just follow them back? I had to leave because I had a billion- dollar project at the company. Your job doesn't pay much, so what are you so upset about? You haven't answered my calls for days!"
I listened calmly as he poured out his frustrations, there wasn't a hint of concern in his voice, only accusations, every word was talking down to me while defending Vanessa.
When he finally finished pouring, I hoarsely said, "I'm in the hospital..."
But before I could finish, he interrupted:
"Claire, can you stop using such pathetic tricks to get my attention?
Always trying to get the attention, you're disgusting. You're doing this because you never believed that Vanessa and I were innocent, right?
Why is your mind so nasty? No wonder Vanessa always says you're full of schemes."
Then he hung up. When I called him back, I found out that he had blocked me.
I laughed at myself and found a caregiver.
I wasn't going to neglect my health just because Ethan wasn't worth it.
I stayed in the hospital for 20 days. During that time, Ethan didn't call me even once.
I had surgery to remove the steel rod from my leg. Although I might have a slight limp, my leg was saved, and for that, I was grateful.
After these things happened, I decided to start loving myself more.
20 days later, I was discharged from the hospital, but unexpectedly, I received a call from Ethan.
When I answered, he asked, "Claire, have you reflected on what you did wrong?"
"Why should I reflect?" I replied coldly.
