It turned out that John still remembered that we were childhood sweethearts, but after more than 20 years of companionship, I was not as good as a woman he had met a few times. But he forgot the most important sentence I said.

"I also said that if you don't love me anymore, or if you have another woman, you must tell me right away. I will take the initiative to withdraw and then go to a place you will never find in this life again."

Before I finished speaking, John directly covered my mouth with his hand.

"I remember everything, but I won't let this happen and I won't let you leave me. In this life, you will only be the wife of my Lagerfeld Family."

I turned my face away, no longer looking at him, but looking at the flock of birds flying freely outside the window. It was John who forced me to get to this point. I gave him chances again and again, but he didn't know how to cherish them.

"I want to go home, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."

In the evening, John arranged a car to take me back to the villa on the hillside. Through the French window, I clearly saw that Jessica moved in next door with her luggage.
