Chapter 4 4
Listening to the recording, I could sense that he was drunk.
But wasn’t he just using the alcohol to let off steam?
“But now I’m a healthy person. I need someone who can stand by my side, someone who can meet my physical needs.”
“Jasper, what do you mean by this? You haven’t touched her?”
“Of course not… Even though I love her, back then my legs… it just felt strange.”
“Even after I recovered, whenever I thought about her legs and how she reacted in bed, I just…”
“I’ve always been afraid of touching her. I’m really scared of seeing her atrophied feet under her skirt. I’m afraid I won’t be
able to control my disgust…”
My vision gradually blurred with tears. So, his so–called respect was just his own insurmountable disgust.
No wonder every time I felt his desire, he would deeply suppress it, preferring to take cold showers.
All that talk about restraint and waiting until the wedding night was just a lie.
“Sigh… Jasper, it’s really tough for you. What will you do in the future?”
“I’ll slowly overcome it. By then, I’ll fulfill my obligations as a boyfriend.”
Fulfill his obligations as a boyfriend.
Years of helplessness, how noble!
So… so…
I let his fragmented words tear through me.
The warmth in my body gradually drained away.
I couldn’t believe he said those words.
The same man who once gently kissed my forehead and woke me up each morning.
I couldn’t believe this was Theo, who promised to love only me for the rest of his life after his legs healed.
My chest heaved, my eyes stung, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Cecilia’s expression was undoubtedly smug.
“So? Now you know, right? If I were you, I’d leave while Theo still has feelings for me. With his personality, he’d give you
enough money to live comfortably,”
I trembled with pain, unable to shout, “Shut up!”
Cecilia stepped back in disgust, “You don’t need to wait until he loses all sympathy for you.”

“Get out, get out of my home.”
Cecilia picked up the white bag she had brought in and threw it at me.
“If you’re still not giving up, change into the dress tonight. I’ll have someone pick you up for Theo’s birthday party, which
is also our engagement party.”
With that, she left, her high heels clicking on the floor as she walked away.
I sat in my wheelchair, looking at the home Theo and I had carefully decorated together, his words echoing in my mind.
So, even a love that was warm and redemptive couldn’t escape the ordinary. We could endure hardships together, but we
couldn’t share prosperity.
I sat quietly in our home, filled with sweet memories.
Sunlight slanted through the window, but it couldn’t chase away the gloom in my heart.
If the eyes of the one you love are filled with disdain and coldness, how can you accept it?
Every corner of the apartment was filled with our once peaceful and warm moments, but now I was left alone to face this
cold silence.
I sat there silently for the entire day.
The scorching sunlight dimmed, and the pain and sorrow in my heart surged like a tide but slowly receded, leaving a
mottled shore.
I put on the white dress I wore the day Theo and I confirmed our relationship.
It was a gift from him.
I was going to attend Theo’s twenty–eighth birthday party.
I once had the courage to rush towards him like a moth to a flame, and now I had the determination to cut ties when
needed.
