After The Love Had Dead and Gone, You’d Never See Me AgainChapter 1
My mother was extremely sick and in critical condition, so I asked my fiancé to pay the dowry in advance so I could use the money to pay for my mother's surgery. Instead of paying for the dowry, he chose to turn his back on me and get engaged to Taylor Harper.
In the moment of despair, Matt Harris, my childhood friend, knelt on one knee to propose to me in the hospital. He gave me a dowry for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Without hesitation, I agreed with his proposal and immediately arranged for my mother's surgery.
The fact that my mother did not survive the operation made me so overwhelmed by grief that Matt arranged for my mother's funeral in my stead.
As for the wedding, it was still carried out as planned.
However, five years later, I inadvertently overheard a conversation between him and the doctor.
"Matt," said the doctor. "You had hidden the fact from Fiona Kingsley that you used her mother's organ to cure Debbie Marshall, Taylor's aunt. Have you thought about what would happen if she found out? Are you going to risk everything for Taylor?"
“If that’s the case, then so be it. I’d do anything for her; it’s just a life. I’ve already paid Fiona back with my whole life and that should be enough," Matt answered.
Tears rained down my cheek as at this moment, I realized that the marriage I had worked so hard to maintain was nothing but a cruel deception and the only person Matt loved was Taylor.
Knowing this, I decided to step aside and give in.

On the other side of the door, in the study room, Matt’s voice echoed with regret and sorrow, "Given that Taylor did not choose me, all I could do for her was to save Debbie so she could have a piece of mind. As for Fiona … I've already dedicated all my life for her, I think it should be enough.”
When, his best friend, Henry Nelson, his friend since childhood, heard what he had just said, he looked hesitated and said, "It's too bad Taylor did not do what you had done for her. We're talking about human life here. If anyone finds out, you could spend the rest of your life in prison for a woman who doesn’t love you. Is it worth it?”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore; it’s all in the past. As long as she’s doing well now, that’s all that matters," Matt refuted.
