Chapter 3

When I woke up, it was already night. I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV drip in my hand.

The doctor said, "You were too emotional. You need to calm down and get some good rest."

I said, "Okay."

Just then, my phone rang.

It was Liam. After much hesitation, I answered.

"Scarlett's dress got dirty. Go get that 'Starry Night' dress I ordered for you and bring it over. I need it for Scarlett."

So, her name was Scarlett. I silently repeated it to myself.

The 'Starry Night' dress was custom-made for me by a designer, commissioned by Liam. He intended for me to wear it at our wedding reception.

Before, he wouldn't even let anyone touch it, saying it would defile our love.

Now, he casually told me to give it to someone else.

Actually, it didn't matter anymore.

It was just that…

"Liam, I'm on an IV drip right now."

"You're perfectly fine, why are you on an IV? Don't you dare throw a tantrum now, or you'll regret it."

Fine, I'll do one last thing for you, consider it repaying the kindness you showed me back then, when you saved me.

Without waiting for the IV to finish, I asked the nurse to remove the needle. Once again, I braved the downpour, got into a taxi, went home to get the dress, and rushed to deliver it to him without delay.

Liam said, "Scarlett's waiting for you by the entrance. She wants to thank you. Be respectful."

I mumbled "Mmm" and hung up.

But the woman named Scarlett didn't give me thanks; she gave me a slap.

Caught off guard, I was stunned. I spun half a circle, and the dress fell to the ground.

Scarlett immediately started to cry, feigning distress. "Scarlett, if you didn't want to, you could have just said so. Why ruin the dress?"

I'm a straightforward person, so I didn't understand her game at all.

But Liam seemed to understand perfectly and immediately walked out of the hotel.

Scarlett immediately confronted him, "Liam, is this what you meant by her being obedient and understanding, that she wouldn't make things difficult for me?"

Liam glanced at the dress on the floor, thinking he understood everything.

Another slap landed on my face. "It seems I've really spoiled you. Apologize to Scarlett immediately."

I was so angry I laughed. "Liam, you're being so judgmental! Do you know how I got the slap mark on my left cheek?"

Scarlett didn't hide it either. She tugged at Liam's sleeve. "I hit her, Liam. You're not mad at me, are you? I was so angry that she threw the dress on the ground, I couldn't help but hit her."

"You know how bad my temper can be."

Liam instinctively put his arm around her waist. "No, I'm not mad. Good for you."

Scarlett shot me a triumphant smile.

Tears welled in my eyes as I smiled back bitterly. I was so stupid.

But no matter how stupid I am, you two only have three days left to humiliate me. Once those three days are up, I'll be gone from your world forever.

Liam, I hope you don't end up like that man my mother had an affair with.
