He Misunderstood Her Sacrifice, And Lost Her to AnotherChapter 1

“Ms.Crawford,your brain tumor surgery has been canceled….”

Aurelia Crawford ended the call,then quietly booked a ticket to Iceland,planning to leave in a week.

While packing,her eyes landed on a photo of Santino Gardner holding her in his arms,smiling as if she were his whole world.But that same smile later became nothing but coldness and disgust in her memory.

She gave a bitter smile and set the frame aside,yet her mind pulled her back to what had happened half a year ago.

That was when she first found out she had a malignant brain tumor.The surgery was risky,and her time was already running short.

The moment she stepped inside the house,Santino rushed at her,his eyes red as he grabbed her by the throat,his voice rough with anger.“Where were you last night?”

She couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth,that she had gone to check on the tumor.Her lips trembled,but no sound came out.

At that moment,Santino threw a photo at her face,the edge cutting her cheek and leaving a faint sting.

In the photo,Santino’s mother lay dying in a wrecked car,and on the hit-and-run vehicle was the clear mark of the Crawford family.
