[Damien, do you still remember the first time you helped me drive away the boy who bullied me in junior high school? That day you stood in front of me, not much taller than me, but you said fiercely, “I'm protecting her.”
From that day on, I fell in love with you.
In high school, you got injured playing basketball and I secretly put ointment in your desk. You thought it was sent by someone else and you asked around who it was. I didn’t dare admit it, so I just listened to you and your sister discussing, blushing, 'Which girl who has a crush on you is so careful.'
When you were in school, you inherited the company and faced setbacks. You got drunk and I sat with you on the rooftop all night.
You said, “Amelia, why are you so stupid to waste time with me.”
“Yes, I am really stupid.”
I thought that love would grow over time. I thought that as long as I loved you enough, you would always see me. But it turns out that some people are destined not to wait. On this fifth anniversary, I will give you two gifts. They are at the bottom of the box.
Goodbye, Damien.
The rest of your life, may each of you be well.]
Damien’s hand trembled slightly as he held the letter. He never knew that Amelia had liked him for so long. He thought that she would only fall in love with him as she grew up.
Yes, he always knew Amelia loved him, but he never returned that love.
Damien felt a pain in his chest and continued to look through the box, finding two documents at the bottom. One document was a familiar divorce agreement that he recognized from a month ago. But he didn’t expect the other document.
The other document was a B-ultrasound report from the hospital.
It clearly stated something that really shook Damien to his core.
[6 weeks of pregnancy, needs to be aborted.]
There was also a note on the report, written in beautiful handwriting of Amelia’s.
[Damien, when you were with the person you loved, our child chose to leave us. This may also be her way of telling me that I should live for myself for the rest of my life.]
Damien's ears suddenly buzzed and his vision went dark. He tightly grasped the ultrasound report as his fingers shaking uncontrollably. He had never thought about it.
How could this be possible? When had Amelia gotten pregnant? Why hadn’t he known about it?
He quickly grabbed the divorce agreement and saw that the date was from a month ago. How could he have signed such a document?
