I left the hospital soon after.
I didn’t care about how his surgery went or whether it was successful.
room.
I resigned from my job, deleted all contact information for Lucas, and then went to study for an MBA at the University of British Columbia.
I immersed myself in the foreign culture.
On the banks of the Thames, I felt the thrill of the setting sun.
My heart had never been so calm.
Within a week, I had completely lost contact with Lucas.
During the day, I focused on my studies. At night, I watched videos and played games, enjoying my solitude.
But a phone call in the middle of the night woke me up.
“Olivia Reed, how dare you block me!”
“Don’t you know you’re the first person I wanted to see after my surgery?”
“Do you have any idea how much I miss you?”
“Where are you? I’m coming to find you right now!”
Lucas was yelling hysterically on the phone, as if he had gone mad.
I understood his feelings all too well because for the past three years, I had felt the same way every moment.
“I’m in England. I don’t want to come back for now, and even if I did, I wouldn’t see you. Go live your life with Chloe. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted? To marry her? I won’t stop you. Go ahead and marry her.”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. Then I heard a long sigh.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I know I was wrong. You’re the one I love most. I know I shouldn’t have hurt you while taking care of Chloe.”
“Please, can we make up? Please?”
“I promise, Chloe will never appear in front of you again.”
“I won’t marry her either. She has depression, let the doctors treat her. I won’t get involved anymore.“”
listened to Lucas’s apologies with a sense of helplessness.
“Has your memory returned?” I asked casually.
“No…” Lucas hesitated.
“Mm, you should try hard to recover your memory. That way, you’ll forget about me quickly.”
After saying this, I blocked this new number again.
Then, one after another, various phone calls came in, all from Lucas. He used different phone numbers to contact me. After I had blocked dozens of his numbers, I finally changed my SIM card.
With that, the world became quiet.
