To prove myself to her, I worked until I was exhausted, making money wherever I could and taking any job I found.
When my work finally started to improve, Eulalie offended a local boss and was taken away.
To save her, I spent every bit of money I had and was beaten until I landed in the hospital.
Back then, I was still young; if I had rested well, I could have healed fully.
But I could not stand seeing Eulalie suffer.
Even if it ruined my own body, I still chose to let her live a better life.
Just as I finally caught my breath, Eulalie started cheating once more.
I stayed busy catching her red-handed, busy dealing with the man around her.
Back and forth, it kept going on until today.
At the very start, Eulalie knelt beside my hospital bed and spoke to me, “Valerian, I see everything you have done for me.”
“From now on, let me carry the burden you have been carrying and repay all the pain you went through.”
Later, Eulalie took over my work. She held one arm around her lover and looked at me.
“Valerian, I know everything you have done for me, but that belongs to the past.”
“I promise no man will ever take your place, and I can even give all the family assets to our child.”
