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.

I turned to look at Grandma's grave and took a deep breath.

I didn't want to swear in front of her.

"Matt Williams, if you missed the text message, let me say it again-

"Let's break up!"

Matt's eyes widened, looking at me incredulously, his brows furrowing even deeper.

He remained silent for a while, then angrily questioning me.

"Mona Morris, isn't it just that I didn't come to pick you up that day? Do you have to throw a tantrum like this?

"I've explained it to you clearly. There's nothing going on between Addie and me. She has always been afraid of the dark. That night, we were just..."

I sneered incessantly.

It seemed that my sneer hurt the guilty Matt.

He got even angrier and held my shoulder. "What are you laughing at?"

I restrained all my laughter and stared at him coldly.

"Matt Williams, I used to love you, but don't take me for a fool. Ask yourself. Do really nothing happen between you two?

"You are my boyfriend. If she's afraid of the dark, why can't she find someone else to accompany her instead of you?"

It was just her sophistry, trying to deceive others, but in the end, he deceived himself as well.

Matt frowned and looked at me like I was being unreasonable.

"Mona Morris, can you stop being so willful? Your Grandma can rely on you, but Addie just returned not long ago, and she can only rely on me."

I sneered and broke free from his hand indifferently.

I didn't want to waste any more time with him, nor did I want to say anything too much in front of Grandma's grave.

Matt saw that I wasn't causing a scene, and his brow relaxed.

He thought that I would be pacified by his words just like before, and quickly calm down, but I turned around and walked away without any hesitation.

When Matt saw that I had walked a long distance, he started to panic and his attitude softened.

"Mona, it's my fault, I wasn't considerate enough.

"If a situation like that happens again, I'll ask my assistant, Lucy, to accompany her, and I'll stay at home to keep you company, okay?"

I still ignored him.

Matt became anxious. He has never had a good temper, and he directly shouted at my back.

"I've already apologized, what else do you want?!"

"I'm tired. Don't follow me."

I had not taken several steps away when I felt dizzy, my legs went weak, and I fainted right away.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was Matt's surprised expression.

"Mona, you finally woke up!"

I looked around and realized that I was in the hospital.

Matt explained to me that I had suddenly fainted due to overwork and hypoglycemia.

He had an affectionate look and attempted to hold my hand, but I deftly dodged it.

A hint of embarrassment crossed his face.

"I'm fine, there's no need to stay in the hospital. Let me check out today."

Since I had already decided to break up, I didn't want to owe Matt anything anymore.

Failed to dissuade me, he checked out of the hospital for me.

At the entrance of the hospital, Matt hesitated for a moment. "Mona, is your Grandma in this hospital? I'm really sorry for not driving her to the hospital. If she is here, I want to see her and apologize."

Grandma...

I lowered my head, wishing that Grandma was still in the hospital.

How I wish Grandma was still alive.

Unfortunately, she had already been laid to rest.

"No need."

Matt insisted on taking me home. I originally wanted to refuse, but I remembered that I still had some things to pack up at his place.

So I decided to take the opportunity to pack everything up and never see him again.

But halfway there, I suddenly received a call from Auntie Kelly, Grandma's neighbor.

"Mona! Hurry back, a group of people is going to dig up your Grandma's grave with an excavator!"

"What?"

"These money-minded businessmen insist on developing this area into a tourist zone."

Grandma!

I was immediately anxious and asked Matt to turn to the countryside.

Although Matt didn't know what I was going to do, he readily agreed when he heard my request.
