Adam Shaw let out a long, helpless sigh. “I’ll have to start from the very beginning…
“Our house went through reconstruction before. We were offered over three million dollars to migrate. After my parents died, they left all this money behind for me.
“Back then, Shirley, who’s my girlfriend, and I were in a stable relationship. On top of that, I really loved her too much.
“That’s why I gave her my card. After getting the money, she liked going to high-end places, and she liked buying Hermes purses, on top of paying off her father’s gambling debt…
“Because I loved her, I allowed her to do anything she wanted. But soon, they ended up spending all my savings.
“Although I was unhappy about it, I loved her too much, and I couldn’t leave her. That’s why I didn’t blame her.
“After all my savings were spent, I still worked in a hospital as a doctor. Moreover, I also worked part-time as someone else’s private doctor.
“Hence, we were still able to get by. Her life wasn’t significantly affected either. However, three months ago…
“Her father got into a fight with a rich kid, and that person nearly killed him. He was admitted into the emergency unit in a hospital.
“After I found out, I called the cops. However, the police wouldn’t care at all. Hence, I went to look for that rich kid.
“In the end, not only was he unwilling to pay us any compensation, but he also even insulted me.
“Out of anger, I beat him up… After that, he blacklisted me in the medical field, and I lost everything.
“I couldn’t even get a job in the medical field. After that, her father went gambling a month ago and lost three million dollars to someone else.
“She came begging again, and she asked me to sell the house. I ended up selling the house. Finally, I ended up with nothing…
“I thought she’d be touched and stay with me until I made my money back. However, unexpectedly, she started to get tired of me.
“After I had nothing left, her attitude toward me worsened. She’d find reasons not to come home for days at a time…
