Grandma in the countryside suddenly fell ill, but it happened to be days of heavy rain, and we couldn't get a taxi no matter how hard we tried.

With no other option, I asked my boyfriend, Matt Williams to drive Grandma to the hospital.

Matt agreed to pick us up, but changed his mind on the way.

I called him more than a dozen times, but he didn't answer.

I had no choice but to carry Grandma on my back and walk to the hospital in the rain.

Due to the delay in getting treatment, Grandma stopped breathing on my back!

That night, I knelt alone beside Grandma's body, crying so hard that I fainted several times...

When I received Matt's call, what I heard was his ex-girlfriend Abbie Wilson's sweet voice.

"Mona, there's a power outage at my house. Matt is worried that I'm scared, so he's staying with me tonight and won't go back..."

I hung up the phone with my trembling hands, and immediately blocked the number.

A few days later, Matt found me, looking impatient.

"Is it necessary for you to block me just because that I didn't pick you up that day? Anyway, you and Grandma have always relied on each other. She has you, that's enough. But Abbie can't be without me!"

——

"Matt Williams, let's call off the engagement. We have no need to register for marriage."

When I typed these words, my heart was as cold as steel, but my attitude was resolute.

Since middle school, I have been secretly in love with Matt. I pursued him for three years and dated for three years. We just got engaged this year and planned to register our marriage the day after tomorrow.

I thought as long as I gave enough sincerity, Matt would be moved.

Even though I knew he couldn't forget his ex-girlfriend, Abbie, I still treated him well. I believed that one day, he would see my efforts and we would live a happy life together.

But all my efforts over the past six years were wiped out when Abbie appeared.

During all those years, no matter how late I finished work, I always managed to muster up the courage to walk home alone just so that Matt could get a little more rest.

Afraid of troubling Matt, when the light bulb in my house went out, I would change it by myself.

Even when I fell down the stairs and broke my leg, I called 911 myself, not wanting to hold him back because of my own issues.

But in Matt's eyes, all of these just showed that I could handle everything on my own.

I asked him to take Grandma to the hospital. It was the first time I had asked him for a favor, but he completely ignored me just because his ex-girlfriend was afraid of the dark.

He could put my seriously ill Grandma behind just to accompany his ex-girlfriend.

After sending the message, I blocked Matt on every possible way to contact me.

Standing in front of Grandma's tombstone, I slapped myself in regret.

"Grandma, I'm sorry..."

If I had saved all the money and bought a car, maybe Grandma wouldn't have been delayed in treatment today.

A year ago, Matt got sick and needed a medical fee of 100 thousand dollars.

For Matt, it was not a big sum in normal times.

But at that time, his company was in the middle of a debt crisis, and he was completely crushed.

I worked three jobs a day and even dipped into my years of savings to buy a car just to raise for medical 100 thousand dollars expenses.

After the successful surgery, Matt held my hand tightly, with tears in his eyes.

"Mona, you have been so good to me, I will never let you down!"

I shook my head, saying that it didn't matter if the money was gone, as long as he was okay.

After that, we hugged, cried and laughed.

Soon, Matt returned to the company, the situation turned around, and the debt problem was solved. He became a decisive and efficient company president again.

Only one year passed by, he forgot what he had said and got back together with his ex-girlfriend.

With swollen and red eyes, I started to handle the funeral arrangements for Grandma.

Grandma loved peace and simplicity. She instructed me to bury her under the big tree in the mountains behind the village. After cremation, she wanted to rest in peace and be accompanied by the tree.

I chose a good spot and made a grave for Grandma.

Reluctantly, I placed Grandma's ashes into the grave and stood there for a long time.

As I was about to leave, bam!

Heard screeching tires followed by high heels clacking on the pavement as someone got outta their car.

"This land is a prime piece of real estate. If we prioritize its development, we're sure to make a huge profit!"

Abbie rocked a white dress and sunglasses, giving off boss lady vibes.

Matt standing next to her. I hadn't seen him in days.

I tried to dodge them, but Matt spotted me first.

He came to a halt, the smile fading from his face and a frown creasing his brow.

"Mona Morris, what are you doing here?"

Grandma's grave was nearby, and her hometown was not far from here.

I had told Matt multiple times that I wanted to bring him to meet Grandma, my only relative in this world, but he always declined.

He had never met Grandma. Naturally, he didn't know why I was there.

I didn't want to waste my time with him. As I was about to leave, Abbie stopped me.

She has a bright and confident smile, with a hint of pride and provocation.

"Mona, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to say this. My house had a power outage that night, and I was a bit scared, so Matt came to accompany me. But please don't misunderstand. We just talked about business matters."

Abbie was a suitable match for Matt.

They broke up three years ago, and Abbie went abroad to study. Upon her return, she assumed the position of vice president in the family business.

Addie's endorsements were visible on billboards in the streets and alleys, while her social media and various marketing accounts hailed her as an unstoppable force of strength.

But it was the same woman who should call someone else's boyfriend to accompany her when faced with a power outage at night.

Looking at the deliberately provocative Abbie in front of me, I sneered.

"Since you claim to be a strong woman, why pretend to be helpless? Are you a bitch?"

Abbie's scheming was exposed, and her face immediately soured.

"Mona Morris, why do you speak so rudely?"

Before Abbie could speak, Matt smoothly stepped forward to shield her.

It seemed like I was a beast that eats people, bullying the little white rabbit behind him.

If it were in the past, I might explain for myself, but now, I didn't want to deal with them at all.

If he thought my words were harsh, then so be it. I was tired.

I didn't say anything, but when I turned around to leave, Matt suddenly said, "Mona, you..."

His words were interrupted by Addie.

"Matt, it seems that Mona is angry. Her eyes seem swollen from crying. Is she blaming me for not letting you go back that night? Why don't you go and console her?"

Her words made others think that she was considerate.

But I sneered, closed my eyes, and continued walking forward without stopping.

Perhaps Matt was also taken aback. This was the first time I had ignored him without causing a scene or paying attention to him.

Matt left Abbie and ran over to catch up with me.

"Why haven't you messaged me for so many days? How is Grandma? Is she feeling better?" Matt gazed at me with affection.

But I thought that he was ridiculous.

It had been about two weeks since Grandma passed away. If he tried to message me, he would find that I had already blocked him, but he didn't notice that.

I guessed that the message about breaking up I sent, he didn't even read it.

He agreed to drive Grandma to the hospital but didn't keep his word. On that stormy day, Grandma's treatment was severely delayed and she passed away.

I didn't blame Matt, I only blamed myself.

I blamed myself for being so foolish to believe that Matt would really come to help me.

I blamed myself for being so stupid to give all my savings to Matt for treatment that I got nothing but betrayal in the end.
