Maybe this way, he’d stop saying that I thought too much about myself. Whether I died or survived would have nothing to do with them anymore.
I sent the tiny fetus remains to be cremated.
This was probably the first time the crematorium had ever received such a request. They looked at me with curious, suspicious eyes.
The raging fire reflected on my face. The flames never came close to me, but somehow, I felt a stabbing pain on my face. The pain extended all the way down to my heart.
When the ashes were finally taken out and put into an urn, the last shaky walls in my heart finally collapsed.
Tears flowed down my face continuously. I realized that I finally had absolutely nothing left.
I used to have a husband who loved me. I used to have a baby in my stomach whom I loved. But now, even the future I looked forward to together had gone up in flames.
On the way home from the hospital, I saw a massive billboard advertisement for Nolan Group.
The two people modeling the jewelry looked absolutely perfect together. They looked like they were made for each other.
Hanging from Jacklyn’s neck was an eye-piercing blue necklace made from blue sapphires. From my many years of experience of being a jewelry designer, I suspected that it was a set with the ring I’d received from Archer before.
I took out the ring carefully and looked at it before letting out a self-mocking laugh.
Compared to the intricate and complicated design of the sapphire necklace Jacklyn was wearing around her neck, my ring looked extremely plain and inexpensive. In fact, it felt more like a freebie that came with purchasing the necklace.
I threw the ring into the trash, just like how I threw my years of love and sincerity for Archer away.
“I don’t owe you anything anymore, Archer.”
