I waited for a long time. It was dark, and I took a taxi home by myself. After eating takeout, Cedric was still nowhere to be seen.

I tidied myself up while limping.

Then I saw Lisa's post on Instagram. It was a photo, and in the photo, someone was having a candlelit dinner with her. She posted, [I knew it. As long as I need you, you will always be there.]

I looked at the photo that was so romantic and suddenly let go.

In Cedric's eyes, I could never compare to Lisa. As long as Lisa existed, I'd always be the one who got abandoned.

From making a big fuss to getting used to it, after experiencing life and death, I suddenly felt bored.

I was young and beautiful. Why would I put myself in a position to be chosen by a man?

I washed, lay on the bed in the guest room, and then received a WhatsApp message from Joey Dixon, a senior schoolmate of mine.

[This project is very suitable for you. You have previous experience as a foreign doctor. You are experienced, calm, and able to deal with emergencies, so we are looking forward to having you on board. But we also know about your relationship with your fiancé, so we want you to think about it.]

Seeing that, I replied without hesitation. [No need. I'll go.]

Joey immediately called me, "I'm so glad! We need you. By joining us, you will be contributing to the country."

"Thank you, Joey. Don't worry." I could tell Joey was genuinely happy for me.

I didn't wanna tell Cedric I was gonna work with Joey.

After Joey hung up the phone, he sent me a bunch of recent related materials. I was shocked as I read them. It turned out that during the time I had not been involved in the project, a lot of data had been updated so fast.

However, all I cared about was Cedric.

My life was all about Cedric. I was busy with his daily life, and I even cooked for him. But he said I was useless and was nothing compared to Lisa.

I wanted to use the remaining time to consolidate my expertise.

Fortunately, although I didn't have much work to do, I had never neglected my profession. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to take on any big projects.

At the thought of that, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I really feared that I'd spend my life pleading for Cedric's mercy and end up miserably.

The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted my thoughts. I knew Cedric was back.
