He could no longer distinguish what was true from what was false.
It was impossible, she couldn’t not love herself.
Every day of those five years, every detail, it didn’t feel fake at all.
She was just talking nonsense, testing herself to see if she would give up easily.
Sergio kept hypnotizing himself, it must be like this, it must be like this!
He had to make an appointment with her and personally explain this matter clearly.
In the following days, Sylvia would always see Sergio downstairs.
She intentionally avoided him, so there were few chances for them to run into each other face to
face.
On Christmas Day, Sylvia made an appointment with Quentin to have dinner together at a
restaurant.
Sylvia had prepared for this Christmas dinner for a long time.
She was afraid of being rejected by Quentin because although he was polite to her now, he always
seemed distant.
She was overjoyed when she heard him agree to her invitation.
In the past, during Christmas, he would pretend to be Santa Claus and prepare gifts for her.
This time, it was her turn to surprise him.
So, she had already put on Santa Claus costume and was waiting for Quentin to arrive in the
restaurant.
The atmosphere on Christmas Eve was great, and the whole restaurant was enveloped in a joyful
ambiance.
After Quentin appeared, she walked up to him with a gift, bouncing and jumping.
“Merry Christmas!”
As the words fell, she removed the mustache stuck to her own lips and handed the gift to him.
“Open it quickly and take a look, I prepared it myself!”
Quentin opened the box with a smile, and inside was a scarf. Her knitting skills were not very

proficient, so the whole scarf was crooked and twisted, and it didn’t look very nice
But for some reason, looking at this scarf, Quentin felt familiar and warm.
He smiled and put the scarf around his neck, gently thanking her.
“Thank you, the scarf was very warm.”
Upon hearing his laughter, Sylvia felt sweeter than honey.
She turned around to sit down, but didn’t notice that the Christmas tree behind her suddenly fell
down.
And the direction in which the Christmas tree fell was straight towards Quentin.
In that moment, the scene of Quentin’s car accident suddenly appeared before Sylvía.
He had a pale face, covered in blood, becoming the nightmare that had haunted her for a whole five
years.
This time, she absolutely did not want the tragedy to repeat itself.
Without wasting any time, she rushed straight towards Quentin.
With a loud bang, the Christmas tree came crashing down.
She closed her eyes, but the unexpected pain did not come. She remained in a daze for a long time.
In the end, Quentin gently nudged her.
“Syl, are you okay?”
Sylvia opened her eyes and realized that someone had been standing behind her, protecting her from getting hurt, at the moment when the Christmas tree fell down.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
“Call an ambulance quickly, someone got injured!”
“I don’t know if he was in danger of his life, but it seemed like he had a lot of blood coming out of
his head!”
Sylvia looked down and realized that the person lying on the ground was Sergio!
There were countless screams and footsteps in her ears, and Sylvia looked at the scene of the delay, feeling uneasy.
How could it be him!
