Chapter 2

A loud noise came from behind, and I knew it was Bianca venting her frustration.

When we reached the end of the hallway, I quickly shook off Leo's hand.

He let out a cold laugh, his tone full of contempt. "So this is the bright future you talked about?"

"Amber, you abandoned me when I was on the brink of death, all for this job as a companion. You really had foresight, didn't you?"

Five years ago, Leo had fallen seriously ill, with both his kidneys infected by a virus.

Without telling him, I had myself tested for compatibility and, surprisingly, I was a match. Without hesitation, I chose to donate my kidney.

But I had a severe rejection reaction, losing ten pounds in just three days.

The doctor said I wouldn't last a year.

To prevent Leo from experiencing the same pain as me in the future, I staged a scenario to trick him into divorcing me.

But unexpectedly, I've managed to hold on for over five years.

After I broke Leo's heart, he met a benefactor who helped him become a top perfumer.

He also established himself in the entertainment industry and fell in love with the famous star, Bianca. They had just announced their engagement yesterday.

Snapping back to reality, I gave Leo a bright smile.

"You're right, the money comes fast. It suits a gold digger like me."

"Leo, congratulations on your engagement to Bianca. I wish you a happy marriage."

As soon as I finished speaking, Leo raised his hand and slapped me.

His eyes reddened, and the air around him grew heavy.

"This is for the me who once dreamed of growing old with you. Amber, get lost. I never want to see you again."

I suppressed the urge to cough and used all my strength to stand up, but the medical report in my pocket accidentally fell out.

Leo picked it up first. After reading it, his brows furrowed.

The next second, he slapped me again.

"You knew I was coming today, so you deliberately prepared a fake medical report, didn't you?"

"Amber, you're wrong. Even if you died in front of me, I wouldn't shed a single tear for someone like you."

Hearing Leo's words, my heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles, making it almost impossible to breathe.

But I still managed to nod, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying. "It's good that you think that way."

With that, I turned to leave.

But before I could take a few steps, my vision suddenly went black, and I collapsed to the ground.

In the last moment of consciousness, I vaguely felt that leaving like this wouldn't be so bad.

At least I wouldn't have to see Leo's eyes full of disgust anymore.
