Chapter 1
Half a month before my wedding, my deaf ears, which I had lost to save Adam Watson, unexpectedly regained their hearing due to a high fever.
Half a month before the wedding. I unexpectedly regained my hearing due to a high fever, though I had become deaf when saving Adam Watson before that.
I thought it was a wedding gift from heaven.
Excited, I immediately took a taxi to Adam’s company to find him.
him say was.
But after so many years, the first thing I heard “Catherine Morgan, I’ve had enough of her moral blackmail.”
“The person I want to marry is you. Since she insists on using her parents‘ death to force me to marry her, I will use running away from the wedding to prove my determination.”
The next second. Catherine took Adam’s phone and called me. I numbly swiped to answer.
On the phone, they were gasping heavily. Adam was nervously trying to hang up.
But Catherine raised the phone high. “What are you afraid of? She’s deaf anyway, and besides, isn’t it more exciting this way?”
I listened to their disgusting sounds of pleasure on the phone, and with a heart of ashes, I pressed the record button.
“Who!”
I nearly collapsed to the ground, accidentally bumping into the glass door.
From inside, I could hear Adam’s voice.
Everything in front of me blurred. The embarrassment and awkwardness made me instinctively hold
my
breath.
After a moment, when I didn’t hear any more noise, a new round of heavy breathing came from inside.
I don’t know how I made it back home.
When I turned on the light and saw the trail of bloodied footprints at the door.
ealized that in my haste to find Adam, I had forgotten to wear my shoes.
I numbly pulled out the glass shards from the soles of my feet, taking a piece of flesh with them, but it didn’t even hurt a fraction as much as my heart.
My fever still hadn’t subsided.
I lay on the couch in a daze, my tears gradually soaking my pillow.
Chapter 1
I wished this was all a dream.
That when I woke up, nothing had happened. In half a month, I would still be Adam’s bride, walking toward the wedding and the home I had dreamed of for ten years.
But the sound of a child crying upstairs and car horns honking outside told me that it was all real…
I don’t know how long passed, but my feet began to sting.
I opened my eyes to see Adam holding my feet, carefully removing the remaining glass pieces and applying medicine to my wounds.
It’s been ten years.
Taking care of me seemed to have become his habit.
Once he had finished bandaging me,
he saw me looking at him.
He didn’t ask where the wounds on my feet came from.
Instead, he complained with a frown, “Knowing you’re deaf, why don’t you stay home properly?”
He seemed to realize that I couldn’t hear him, and then frowned again, saying coldly, “This is why I don’t want to marry someone like you.”
His words made my heart tighten.
I remember back in high school, a group of kids followed me around, laughing and joking, but I couldn’t hear a thing they said.
So I just kept walking, acting like nothing was wrong.
But Adam, who came to pick me up, couldn’t help himself and rushed to fight
In the end, he was covered in bruises and carried me in his arms, worried.
I didn’t understand and asked why he fought.
with the
They called you deaf. Rozella, you’re not deat, you have ears. I’ll be your ears…
He cried a lot that day.
as the first time I truly understood that the world of the deaf is so bleak and cruel.
But I didn’t care, because Adam had promised he would always be my
Now, my hearing has returned.
So why did the word “deal” come out of his mouth?

Tears nearly couldn’t be held back..
I squeezed my palm tightly.
Maybe my expression wasn’t right.
He pursed his lips and quickly signed, “Does it hurt?”
Before I could answer, his phone vibrated.
In front of me, he opened a voice message from Catherine. “Mr. Watson, you’re so bad, you made me weak in the legs.
Catherine and Adam were college classmates.
After returning to the country, she became his secretary,
They often exchanged voice messages.
Even though some were sent late at night, out of trust in Adam, I always thought they were discussing work.
“Want to try something even worse?”
Adam replied to her message, and the smile on his face never faded.
“Who are you chatting with?”
I suddenly spoke up, and Adam was startled.
But he quickly calmed down and signed, “A client, there’s a rush on some goods.”
After signing he immediately sent a voice message to the other person. “I bought Rozella a set of lingerie, it looks good, I’ll buy another one next time, and you can wear it for me.”
“Disgusting. I don’t want to wear the same thing as that cripple.”
1 couldn’t bear to listen to their vulgar conversation any longer, so I limped toward the bedroom,
1 hugged the family photo with my parents and curled up on the bed, covering my ears with the blanket.
Tlet the overwhelming despair drown me
But the door was too thin, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t block out the two of them laughing and chatting
utside
Every word felt like torture.
This Adam, lær’s really filthy. I don’t want him anymore.
They didn’t talk much longer before a loud door slanuned from the living room

I sat up from the bed.
Looking at the time, it was already midnight. What he was up to was obvious.
The night breeze blew in through the windowsill, gradually clearing the haze in
my
heart.
I looked at the bedside table, where I had carefully chosen the gold–embossed invitation for half a month.
I dialed my adoptive parents’s number. “Mom, dad, I want to come visit you two and Grandpa and Grandma.”
On the other end of the phone, my adoptive parents voice was filled with worry. “What happened? Did something go wrong?”
Then the
they seemed to remember that I couldn’t hear, and the phone fell silent except for the sound of him typing.
“No, I just miss you guys.”
As I spoke, my voice began to tremble with sobs.
