Even though he had nothing back then, I was moved to tears and held onto him tightly for a long time.
Three years simply passed. However, on the day I received my acceptance letter to graduate school, Joel unfortunately had a car accident.
To save him, I emptied out all our savings, even selling my grandmother's beloved bracelet. "Jaslyn, Joel is a good boy, use this to save him," she said.
But after I paid off all the hospital bills, Joel vanished without a trace. I asked the doctors where he had gone, but all I got were shrugs and "I don't know."
After Joel disappeared, I searched for him like a madwoman. I went to his school, but no one knew who Joel was.
It wasn't until I saw the news of Joel's engagement that it slowly dawned on me.... He was never just a poor student.
I should have had no further ties with him, but I needed money to save my grandmother. If I hadn't emptied all my savings to save Joel back then, I would've had at least some money to save my grandmother.
Thus, I began digging for answers, determined to uncover the truth. Eventually, I boldly entered a luxurious restaurant where Joel was rumored to be meeting friends.
