Chapter 4
Flooked down at her pitifully, certain that she couldn’t continue.
Sure enough, the next second, Asher pushed me away and picked her up in one go.
“Isabel, why did you kneel to her?”
“Annalise, have you had enough of your mischief? Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself and
shortening your lifespan with this kneeling?”
Isabel deliberately struggled to continue kneeling, crying with tears streaming down her face, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
“Asher, Annalise is my only friend, I had to seek her forgiveness!”
She, who was too excited, fainted in Asher’s arms within three seconds.
“Isabel? Wake up? Don’t scare me!”
The last time I saw Asher, he was in a state of panic, as I had been stabbed by Isabel and was covered
in blood.
As time passed, he hurriedly picked up Isabel, put her in the car, and drove away, running a red light.
“When I collapsed, my world finally became quiet, leaving only the pain in my stomach.
Lying in the emergency room, the doctor asked me to be admitted to the hospital to save the
pregnancy.
I dialed Asher’s phone number and realized how scary my subconscious habits were.
Fortunately, he didn’t answer.
After ten years of love, we eventually reached a point of estrangement. “No need to hold on anymore, I want to have the surgery today.
Coming out of the operating room, I realized that Leonel had booked a flight ticket for me on the day of the wedding.
There were only seven days left, which gave me the perfect opportunity to clean up everything from the past.
Asher is right, people have to look forward.
From now on, I will completely cut off from the past happiness and pain.
I was hospitalized for three days, and Asher and I completely lost contact.

Sie, who had never posted on Timeline or believed in gods and Buddhas, unexpectedly posted a
picture of the deity.
With some words.
“Wishing for peace and smoothness!”
So much so that his friends came to ask me how I was doing.
He did a great job of keeping the secret about his changing brides. I thanked everyone who cared and gave Asho
ra thumbs–up com
“Sincerity brings success.
Sure enough, he really went to the temple to pray to Buddha and worship the gods.
They, like other couples, devoutly knelt down and made wishes.
After donating the cloth, he went to find the young monk again and got a red silk and a lock of the
same heart.
Asher held Isabel close in his arms and together they wrote down their wishes, hand in hand.
He tied the red silk on the top of the ancient tree and took her to hang the love lock.
The moment he turned back, I saw his eyes, bloodshot from worry.
Familiarity was particularly strong.
Once, he stayed with me in the hospital, afraid that someone would harm me if he wasn’t careful.
Now, he was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, Isabel and the baby in her belly would be gone.
Originally, he didn’t dislike children, he just didn’t like my children.
So that’s why it could be abandoned so decisively.
After returning home, I gave all the newly purchased wedding items that I had personally prepared
to the old lady who collected scrap.
This house never belonged to me, and there is not a trace of me left in it.
In the end, only the 500GB of memories in my phone remained. The dense photos and videos were all the happiness we had during our rare reunions.
I deleted them one by one, cleared the memory, and my heart also became empty.
After finishing my work, I stewed chicken soup for myself.
Asher came back just after he had finished a bowl.
The blew the remaining chicken soup warm and poured it into the thermos.
“Did you especially stew this chicken soup for Isabel? It’s perfect for her to nourish her body.”
I did not expose his so–called “keeping fit” as actually being “keeping a pregnancy“,
I picked up the freshly prepared chicken soup and drank it all in one gulp.
“I wanted to drink my own stew!”
Asher’s smile on his face froze.
“Annalisel Are you really so stingy that you won’t even give Isabel a bowl of soup, knowing well that she almost ended up in the hospital because of you?”
“Yes!” Asher exclaimed angrily, as he forcefully threw the thermos into the sink and rolled up his sleeves to wash his hands and make soup for his Isabel.
