I felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and joy.
This should be the most exhilarating day I had in the past eight years.
I closed my phone and walked aimlessly along the road...
Alice must be surprised by how I treated her today.
I had really reached the limit of my patience with her.
Half a year ago, the day when Carl came back happened to be my birthday.
I didn't take this news to heart when I first heard it.
In the hot graduation season eight years ago, Carl abandoned the pregnant Alice and went abroad to study alone.
I accompanied Alice to the hospital for surgery.
I publicly acknowledged the baby in Alice's belly and thus carried the blame of a scumbag.
I remembered very clearly Alice buried in my chest that day.
"Felix, you are my redemption. I will be with you this whole life."
It was also her promise that had supported my indulgence and compromise with Alice for eight years.
In the year of graduation, I gave up taking over the family business and the responsibility of accompanying my parents as the only son in the family. I came here to accompany Alice and struggle alone.
Eight years of hard work had allowed me to give Alice a comfortable life.
