I didn't know how I got home, but I only remember Lucas' shout that day, the happy cheers of the crowd around, and the sympathetic eyes of my classmates.

Lucas didn't come back that night. It wasn't until dawn that he came back to our house exhausted.

Also coming back with him was Susan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

Lucas carefully put her in the second bedroom, tucked her in, and then walked to the living room to explain to me.

"The doctor said Susan has depression and needs to recuperate at our house for a while."

"Lucas, why should she stay at our house when she's sick? Are you a savior?"

"Nicole, stop your childish nonsense. Since Susan is my friend, you shouldn't restrict my normal interaction with her."

"Well, Lucas, tell me, what kind of a friend needs a necklace which is like your girlfriend's?"

"Come on, Nicole, Susan is sick, can you not argue with her about these things?"

"Okay, then you two go ahead, I'm leaving now."

I slammed the door and left, but Lucas didn't chase after me as usual, nor did we have any further communication.

I rented a small house near the hospital and lived there for less than a month. Then I received a notice from the center that there was a place for me to go to the continent region for medical exchange, which would last for six months.

Of course, I knew the meaning behind this. It also proved that after I returned from the continent region, I would have further promotion opportunities.

Without any hesitation, I agreed to this trip.

This was also the first time I returned to our home with Lucas after a month to pack my clothes for the trip to the continent region.

Lucas also saw me coming back and stood up to greet me, saying.

"Nicole, then there you're."

I ignored him and packed my luggage.

"Nicole, what are you doing?"

Lucas stopped me from packing my luggage and hugged me tightly.

"I'm going to the continent region. Congratulations, you and Susan are free now."

"Nicole, why didn't you consider me at all? What shall I do if you leave?"

"Lucas, don't be too selfish."

I pushed him away, tidied up my clothes, and prepared to leave.

"By the way, in order to let Susan receive better treatment, we're breaking up."

"Nicole, don't go, please. I will take care of the matter of Susan."

Lucas held me tightly, preventing me from leaving.

I looked at the familiar face in front of me, memories flooded my mind, and I couldn't help but felt softhearted.

"Then I'll give you one last chance to handle Susan’s issue before I come back from the continent region.

Lucas nodded quickly and promised to have dinner with me the day before I left and send me off the next day.

On the day before I left, I got up early to prepare dinner. I was busy all afternoon and finally made a table of dishes, waiting for Lucas to come back and have dinner together.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I reheated the meal again and again, but in the end, I only received a message from him.

[Susan's condition has worsened, and I have to accompany her. I will definitely come to send you tomorrow.]

But he broke his promise.

Not only did Lucas not come, but he also happily lay on a bed with Susan.

I didn't receive any calls or messages from him, but I saw Susan's Instagram.

"I'm glad to meet him."

The picture showed Susan cuddling in Lucas' arms with flowers.

Looking at her Instagram, I shook my head self-deprecatingly, and sent the last message to him.

"We should break up." I calmly said.

Then I took out the SIM card, boarded the plane to the continent region after rescheduling.
