Chapter98
As my fingers slid along the phone screen, I felt like I loved him again.
The moment the album was completely emptied, I stood up from the sofa and walked downstairs to buy a bottle of whiskey.
When we were together, because he hated the smell of alcohol, I could only stare dazedly at the window no matter how sad I was. Otherwise, he would throw me and my drinks out of the house.
After the breakup, I was free to drink again.
At this moment, as if sulking, I filled my glass and drank it off in one gulp. The alcohol hit my head, and my consciousness gradually blurred.
I habitually checked Mandy’s Facebook and saw that she had updated another post eight hours ago. That was when the wedding had just begun.
In the picture, a familiar wrist was lazily placed on the edge of a hospital bed.
Mandy said in the post, “When you are with me, it seems like I have the whole world, and I am not afraid of anything.”
Seeing that, tears immediately overflowed from my eyes, and I couldn’t help but sneer.

I also didn’t receive any more calls from home.
I thought our story had ended there, but after work, I saw a familiar figure downstairs at the company building.”
Antonio stood with his back to the company’s main entrance, clutching his phone with one hand.
Meanwhile, he said with extreme impatience, “Her wounds got worse and infected? Ask a doctor for help then! I’m not a doctor! I’m busy now. Would it not be more convenient for her to go to the doctor than for me to go and see her, considering that she is now in hospital? Anyway, don’t call me if there’s no real emergency.”
I glanced at him without stopping, planning to bypass him and return to my apartment.

Before I could run, Antonio tightly grasped my wrist.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were going abroad? Was it because I took Mandy to the hospital? Didn’t I already explain all that to you? Can’t you stop making a fuss?
