**Chapter 955: Childhood Sweethearts**

“Hmm?” Rianne paused, her brow furrowing slightly as she looked back at Jane.

“Can you… can you come back and see me later?” Jane’s voice was barely a whisper, laced with an urgency that tugged at Rianne’s heart.

Rianne hesitated for a moment, weighing her options. “Alright. I’ll come over when I’m done,” she finally replied, her tone softening.

“Thank you,” Jane murmured, a flicker of relief washing over her. In that moment, she felt a small glimmer of hope pierce through the overwhelming emptiness that had settled in her chest.

Yet, despite Rianne’s comforting words, Jane couldn’t shake the feeling of isolation. She didn’t reach out to Sven; the thought of calling him felt like trying to grasp at smoke.

The images Valery had sent her earlier replayed in her mind like a cruel slideshow, each photo a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded the previous night. She… she and Sven were finished.

As Rianne turned to leave, Jane’s composure crumbled once more, and tears cascaded down her cheeks. Memories flooded back, each one sharper than the last—Sven was not just any boy; he was her childhood sweetheart.

They had shared their formative years together in the orphanage, a bond forged in the fires of adversity, until they were fourteen. That year, the Autumn family discovered Sven, whisking him away into a world that felt impossibly distant from Jane’s own. Yet, even after that separation, they had managed to keep in touch, their connection remaining steadfast through letters and occasional calls.

Later, Jane and Valery worked tirelessly, scraping together every penny they could muster, until they finally enrolled in the same school as Sven. At school, they were inseparable, three friends against the world.

“S… sob…” Jane’s cries broke through the silence, a sound so pitiful that it echoed in the empty room. When Valery’s call came through, her sobs were unmistakable.

“Jane, what on earth are you crying for? Don’t be so pathetic. He’s just a man who cheated,” Valery’s voice crackled with exasperation.

“But he was my childhood sweetheart,” Jane replied, her voice thick with emotion.

Valery fell silent, momentarily taken aback.

**Chapter 955: Childhood Sweethearts**

This was more than just a typical case of infidelity; it was a betrayal that cut deeper, one that twisted the knife of nostalgia and love. If Jane hadn’t harbored such deep feelings for Sven, she would have been able to brush off the betrayal without a second thought, but the history they shared complicated everything.

Valery felt a headache brewing, a familiar sensation that came whenever her sister was caught in the throes of heartache. “Alright, alright. Your wedding is a complete disaster now. I can only guess that Sven’s mother had a hand in this,” she said, trying to keep her tone level.

Jane’s silence spoke volumes. The mention of Sven’s mother sent a chill through her. She had never been fond of Jane. “So… was the woman last night arranged by her?”

Valery’s voice was steady, “It’s almost certain. Do you know who that woman is?”

Jane’s heart raced. “Who?”

Evie was momentarily speechless. What was wrong? Suddenly, it all made sense—her brother had been single for far too long, and her doubts about his feelings for Rianne began to surface.

“Oh man. I’m starving,” Eddie said, taking the food container from Rianne. “Thanks. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

Just as he opened the container, ready to dig in, Evie lunged forward, grabbing the back of his collar with surprising force.

“Hey! What are you doing?” Eddie yelped, startled by her sudden action.

“Get out here,” Evie commanded, her tone leaving no room for argument.

“Seriously, what’s with you now?” Eddie asked, bewildered by her abruptness.

Evie yanked him into an empty hospital room nearby, practically throwing him inside. Eddie stumbled, barely regaining his balance.

As Evie followed him in, she slammed the door shut with a resounding thud.

“Are you insane?” Eddie exclaimed, still trying to comprehend what was happening.

“You made Rianne bring you food? Eddie, is your brain clogged?” Evie shot back, her frustration palpable.
