Chapter 1
On that day, I was going to the continent region for medical exchange.
My boyfriend of seven years refused to send me.
At that time, he was lying in bed with his female friend Susan, covered with a quilt and playing games together.
I heard the urging voice of his female friend on the other end of the phone.
While my boyfriend impatiently said to me.
"Can you stop being so melodramatic? Susan is depressed and needs someone to accompany her."
Later, I announced my new relationship with a younger boyfriend I just met.
But he begged me with red eyes.
"Nicole, can you give me another chance?"
——
"Lucas Yates, where are you? My plane is about to take off."
"Can you stop rushing me? It's not like I'm not coming back."
Before I could finish, Lucas on the other side of the phone became impatient.
"Mr. Yates, are you still playing?"
The video camera of Lucas turned to his bitch friend Susan Lawrence.
I saw the two of them lying on a bed, very intimate.
"Lucas Yates, do you know what you're doing? Is it appropriate for you two to lie on the same bed?"
Looking guilty, Susan apologized to me, but she showed no intention of getting off the bed.
"Nicole Green, can you stop being so melodramatic? Susan has depression and needs someone to accompany her."
Before I could say anything, Lucas angrily hung up the phone.
Forget it, I should have expected it.
Feeling lonely, I put down my phone and looked around sadly at the young couples who were bidding farewell.
Suddenly, an old lady 50 meters away fell to the ground clutching her chest and convulsing.
At this moment, the boarding reminder sounded in the airport, and the plane I was taking was about to take off.
In front of me was a patient, behind me was honor, which seemed to be a difficult choice for me.
Forget it, I can just change my flight.
With only a moment's hesitation, I rushed towards the old lady and performed first aid measures.
The old lady was taken away by an ambulance, and I missed my boarding time as well.
While preparing to change my flight, I received a news notification on my phone.
Flight A5566 crashed in Caribbean one hour after departure.
This news made me feel like I was in an ice cave.
If I hadn't given the old lady first aid, I would have died on that flight.
The ringing of my phone broke my trance.
Countless WhatsApp messages came in, which were from my family and friends and they were all worried about my safety, but there was no news from Lucas.
Has Lucas seen the news? Is he worried about me?
Maybe he hasn't seen the message yet.
While I still comforted myself, I fixed my eyes on Lucas' chat box, praying to receive his message in the next second.
Chapter 2
I met Lucas in college.
At that time, I was the eSports goddess of the medical school, and I often passionately chatted on the mic to teammates who played poorly.
By chance, I was matched with Lucas.
Lucas was also poor at the game and I scolded him fiercely for one round.
After being scolded so much, Lucas couldn't stand it and suggested that we add each other on WhatsApp to argue.
So, I added Lucas on WhatsApp.
Just as I was about to passionately vent, Lucas sent a message to me.
"Are you Nicole Green from B University?"
"I'm sorry, my beauty. It's my fault, and I will practice hard."
Before I could say anything, the other side sent me messages with apologies.
Without much thought, I directly blacklisted him and solved the issue just like that.
But I didn't expect that Lucas really did practice the Hero game well.
One day, one month later, Lucas invited me to join a team with his gaming account.
By then, I had already forgotten that this was a teammate I had once criticized.
After joining the team, Lucas quickly started the game and then accused me of blocking him.
I ignored him and silently played the game, but the enemies were couples on the opposite side targeting me and killed me three times in a few minutes.
Just as I was preparing for the fourth death, Lucas' helper came down and took down the enemy couple.
"While I don't use my ultimate skill, how you dared to be addicted to bullying my goddess?"
I admit that Lucas was a bit handsome at that moment.
We lost that game, but Lucas was still very happy.
Facing the questioning and cursing from teammates, he just smiled and said that the game was less important than me.
Later, I didn't blacklist Lucas' WhatsApp and we started to contact each other more.
Not long after, I met him at B University cafeteria and we quickly established a romantic relationship.
Chapter 3
Lucas was very good to me, and we were recognized as the glamorous couple of B University, and were thought to definitely get married by our classmates.
After graduation, Lucas became a senior executive of a company, and his handsome appearance and high income made me envy by all my classmates.
But my happiness changed when Susan Lawrence, Lucas' childhood sweetheart, came back.
At first, it was just Lucas, who used to claim that the game was less important than me, chose to protect Susan, who was a mage in the game, and gave up on me.
Although he explained to me afterwards that it was just for the victory of the game, I still felt a little sad.
But Susan did not disappear from our lives.
She would shamelessly participate in Lucas' and my dates and ask me to take photos of her in the name of being his good buddy.
Lucas also connive this childhood sweetheart of his, although it would always end up when he apologized to me afterwards and asked me to forgive Susan.
Later, Susan would be in the car that Lucas picked me up from work.
At first, Susan just sat in the back seat of the car and interrupted our conversation.
Until one rainy day, when I opened the passenger seat of Lucas' car as usual, I found her sitting there.
"Nicole, let Susan sit in the front because she gets carsick."
Susan didn't say anything, but Lucas was the first to speak to her to ease the situation.
After sitting in the back for so long, she started to get carsick now?
I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms, and looked at Susan, showing no intention of giving in.
"Nicole, I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so let me sit in the front now."
Susan looked at me with a pitiful look, as if I had done something rude to her, and she was about to cry in the next second.
"If you're not feeling well, you can take a taxi and sit in the front seat."
As I was saying that, I opened the taxi app on my phone and called a taxi.
"I've called a taxi for you, and this time you can sit in the front seat. By the way, if you don't know how to use the taxi app, I can teach you so you don't have to steal a ride every day."
"Nicole, you're going too far. Susan is my friend."
Lucas shouted at me angrily, which was the first time I saw his furious side.
"Lucas, it's all my fault. Don't argue because of me."
Susan held Lucas, who was angry, but she still sat in the seat without any intention of getting off.
"Okay, Lucas, if you think she's so good, you can date her."
I slammed the car door and took a taxi home alone.
