I watched their gradually disappearing figures and tried to collect myself.
If he could have treated me the same way last night, my baby wouldn't have died.
But he didn't.
Hugh, there are too many things separating us.
I don't want to, and I can't love you anymore.
Back home, I packed up my things.
There were many of my tools in the garden, and I chose a spot and dug a small hole.
It happened to be away from where I fertilized every year, so the dirt over the baby's head wouldn't be dug up every year.
Thinking about it, I felt a little sad again. If I fertilized him every year, would he grow?
After doing all this, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
I dreamed again of the first time I met Hugh.
My father was a bodyguard for the Joseph family, and my mother worked for the Joseph family for a long time until she passed away.
Jim was very considerate of the help, so even though I came from a poor family, I could play freely in the Joseph family's villa.
My parents were afraid that I would be exposed to the bustling society from an early age and would not be satisfied with an ordinary life, so I didn't come to the Joseph family until I was fifteen and started high school.
I followed my mother nervously into the villa.
Everything here seemed like a scene that could only appear in a fairy tale at that time.
Other than that ... Hugh walking towards me at the other end of the garden in his school uniform was another fairy tale, another dream.
He had the most unforgettable face I had ever seen.
He looked cold and clever, yet he was also with the unique innocence of youth.
He saw me following behind my mother and frowned, making me feel like I had barged in his turf.
"Mr. Joseph, this is Ava Medina, my daughter."
My mother introduced me to him respectfully, but he just nodded and walked out.
Although he was so indifferent when we first met, his figure never left my heart ever since.
I thought we would never have any intersection again, but unexpectedly, my father sacrificed himself because of an accident.
Hugh and I got bound together because Jim owed my father.
At that time, I knew that he was already with Trina. When Jim gave his order, I told him no. I said I didn't want Hugh to hate me.
But Jim said a lot to me, all serious.
Hugh didn't know any of the things Jim told me.
"Ava, you are a good girl. I know you won't let Hugh down."
With tears in my eyes, I nodded and agreed.
