Been with Xavier Sterling for seven years, there was always a gap of social status between us. Today, his mother came again, without extra pleasantries, directly pushed a photo in front of me. Xavier and my best friend Serena stood side by side, behaving intimately. Mother Sterling's voice was calm and cruel, "Miss Luna, Serena is the ideal daughter-in-law in our hearts." "Some gaps cannot be filled by feelings. Please leave my son." Mind in a trance, I got into a car accident. Woke up again in the hospital, Serena stood by my bed, insisting I take the chance to test Xavier. "You just say you have Amnesia, see his performance." I was also curious what exactly Serena wanted to do, so nodded and agreed. Xavier pushed open the ward door with a hurried look, I pretended not to know him. "You are?" Next second, Serena hooked his arm. "Silly, this is my boyfriend, you can't recognize him?" Her hand was shaking slightly, eyes staring at Xavier full of expectation. Xavier stunned, then held her palm. He whispered: "Mn, I am Serena's boyfriend." I looked at them for a long while. Suddenly laughed out loud: "Then should I congratulate you guys?" Just after hearing this sentence, Xavier's face instead sank. ... Chapter 1 Sight fell on their intertwined arms, my mind was blank. One is my best friend for fifteen years. Knowing I was hit by a car, she ran until her high heel broke. The other, is my boyfriend of seven years, about to discuss marriage. He was on a business trip two thousand miles away, only three hours since my accident, he rushed back. Are they teaming up to prank me? But today is not April Fool's Day. Just as this thought popped up, Serena tiptoed, dropped a light kiss on Xavier's lip corner. "Xavier, I said Luna would bless us." "You refused to tell her before, all your own blind worry." She turned to look at me, eyes and brows full of smiles. "Luna, you will, right?" I seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, couldn't speak. No camera in the corner, no one recording my clown-like dull expression. This is not a prank scene. Couldn't help it, I looked at Xavier. He slightly turned his head, avoided my sight. Eyelashes blinked rapidly a few times, shutting the truth I wanted to know inside. Just last night, he used the same pair of eyes to gaze at me intently in the video call, as if in this world, he could only see me. "Luna, I fly back tomorrow night then take you home." "This time no matter how my parents object, I must marry you." He came back early. Promise seems not counting anymore. I pinched my palm, forcefully pulled out a smile. "You guys, when did you get together?" Throat dry, I whispered: "How come... how come I just didn't know." Serena revealed a sweet smile. She just about to speak, I softly interrupted: "Don't let it be all you saying, I want to hear what your boyfriend says." I stared dead at Xavier, fingernails pinching palm scratched out a blood mark. A burst of dull pain. He unconsciously pursed his lips: "Just end of last year." Tone was the gentleness I was familiar with to the bone marrow. That hand I could recognize even with eyes closed, was holding someone else. "Met on a Blind Date, felt fate, so got together." I stunned. Sterling family is a famous academic family, his parents are both renowned professors at Harvard. And me, father serving time in prison, mother remarried for many years. Just two months ago, Mother Sterling forced him with death, requiring him to go on blind dates. I had insomnia all night, proposed breakup. Wish him happiness. Xavier stood downstairs in freezing rain for a whole day. He hugged me into his arms, whole body trembling. "Luna, I only want you, we don't break up, okay?" I raised hand to touch his face, couldn't distinguish those wetness were tears or rain. Turns out, all fake? "Luna." Serena interrupted my thoughts. "Actually me and Xavier are more compatible, aren't we?" Yes. Serena's parents are also university professors, matching door and household with Sterling family. She smiled. "You have amnesia forgot past things also doesn't matter, now, it's your turn to bless me." Heart fierce suffocated. Remembered that summer high school ended, I excitedly ran to share news of dating Xavier with Serena. She stared big eyes, hand loose, water cup dropped. A crisp sound, glass shattered all over ground. "How could it be? Xavier didn't even agree to Prom Queen's confession, how could he..." I was too anxious pulling her away from those fragments that might cut her. Forgot to think deep, the complex emotion in her eyes. Time changes world changes. Me and her swapped identities. I drank a mouthful of water, swallowed the bitterness stuck in throat. As if swallowed, was that pile of sharp fragments back then. Just about to speak, doctor pushed door enter. Chapter 2 "Patient's leg bone severely displaced, need surgery, who is the family member?" "Me." Xavier's subconscious word, made room atmosphere fall into stagnation. Serena bit teeth: "Xavier, did you hear wrong?" She squeezed out a smile: "Doctor is asking family, you are not." "Need signature right? Give me." She scanned me: "My this friend father in prison, mother long ran with someone." "I should be the friend she knew longest, I sign." Actually not only longest, also best. From I carrying broom drove away those punks blocking her for money start, we inseparable. Full fifteen years. We shared homework answers, cried or laughed for same movie. Also shared home password, clothes in closet and family matters I never told others. I had no defense against her. Didn't expect today, have to share same man. I inexplicably felt funny, reached hand to doctor: "No need, I sign myself can." Consent form slid across Serena's palm. Her face not too good looking. "Doctor." Xavier suddenly spoke. "Her amnesia, possible to cure?" My hand holding pen froze. "Patient has concussion..." Doctor just said a sentence. Serena a cry of pain: "Hiss——" Xavier's attention, immediately hooked by her. "What's wrong?" He bent down to look at Serena's broken heel, frowned. "Rainy day road slippery, next time don't wear high heels." Concerned tone, so familiar. He picked up Serena, put her on the chair beside. Squatted down, he gently took off Serena's shoe, used wet wipe bit by bit wiped clean mud spots on her foot. I scribbled signature, just leg pain severe, making people unable to ignore. Serena act spoiled shook man's arm. "You go buy me a pair of shoes, okay?" "Mn." Xavier stood up, lightly scanned me once, turned and left. Doctor closed door, air quiet only could hear rain sound outside window. "Luna." Serena opened mouth, tore the last trace of peace. "Don't blame me." "Xavier he deserves better, I also have right to fight for what I want." I didn't speak, just felt rain sound too quiet. Couldn't cover pain at wound. Serena still felt not enough, counted one by one. "Bag you wanted him buy back from Paris, not out of stock, is in my closet." "His phone password and wallpaper made of your photo changed, not want to appear more business, but I required." "Last month your grandma death anniversary that day, Xavier didn't business trip, was accompanying me to concert." "Also wedding house Sterling family looking at, not prepared for you." Every sentence, like a nail hammered into my heart. She didn't let me go, gently stroked belly. "I am already pregnant." "Xavier wanted to find a good time to tell you, I feel today is quite suitable." I was nailed in place. Just during breakup noise at end of year, I lost a child. Just because Xavier said a sentence. "Luna, now is not the time yet." Rain sound tik-tok, my tears surging. Blurted out: "Shut up! Get out!" I raised hand, dead pressed leg part. Too painful. Chapter 3 Moment anesthesia took effect, my whole body cold. Eyes went black, I remembered day found out pregnancy. I spent 3 hours made a table of good dishes, hid pregnancy test report in gift box. Celebration cake candle flickering, Xavier however silent long time. He rubbed back of my hand, deep voice said: "Luna, I hope our child, can be born in a blessed environment." And in my phone, still saved message Mother Sterling scolded me shameless day before. In his family's eyes, I am a puddle of rotten mud by road. Should consciously stay far from him. Tears instantly smashed down. I tremblingly questioned: "Xavier Sterling, you confessed to me at 18, promised you would give me a very good very good home, is it not counting anymore?" He lowered head refused to look at me, only said: "Luna, I also have difficulties." Later, I alone went on operating table. That time seemed also rainy day, I only felt whole body very heavy. Was wetness can't disperse. Woke up, ward quiet. Took out phone reply work message, I scrolled to a Serena's Instagram post. Small square box lying in flowers, inside placed a ring inlaid with Pigeon Blood Ruby. Was style I mentioned wanted with Xavier when young and ignorant. I liked it. Passed 5 minutes, Xavier sent new message. [Luna, did you finish surgery, what did doctor say?] [Your amnesia matter, did doctor say possible recover?] I replied: [You are Serena's boyfriend, my matter has nothing to do with you.] Not waiting him reply, I blocked both of them. Raised by grandma me, when met them two, thought was fate couldn't stand I pitiful, gave me gift. A big dream. Now I also should wake up. Care worker auntie asked me: "Little sister, where is your family?" "You can't hide surgery matter from them, if you were my daughter, I knew would heart ache dead." I smiled: "I have no family." "Not a single one left." I closed eyes, hid hot eye rims well. One week later, I followed doctor advice discharge. Back to that so-called "Home", I started packing things. Just struggling stuffing clothes into suitcase, room door opened from outside. Laughter came. Is Serena and Father Sterling Mother Sterling. Once saw me, Mother Sterling raised thin long brows. "Why are you here?" "Our Xavier about to get married, how you still have face to come?" I paused. Put in past, I didn't want Xavier sandwiched in middle uncomfortable, always endured again and again. Now, actually no need. I cooled face down: "I paid money for this house, why can't come?" "Carefully calculate, you guys are the ones no qualification." University last year, Xavier wanted to found his own gaming company. Father Mother Sterling didn't agree, cut his living expense, forced him go abroad study academic path. Was me took out money earned from modeling, raising him, also raising his startup team. Even this house, also had a part money I paid. Now Xavier startup successful company about IPO, I instead became little model can't get on table in Sterling family mouth. "Really no breeding." Father Sterling raised hand pointing me. "How you talk to us, immediately apologize!" I just about to choke back. Corner of eye glimpsed familiar figure in elevator hall. Moment recognized who, a chill rushed up along spine bone.
