00:00:00In the fifth year after my faked death, I have cancer. I am about to die. I found out
00:00:05that the cold and proud heir of the Q family was about to get engaged.
00:00:11The other person was the girl he had loved for many years. To celebrate,
00:00:15A company in the Q group announced a giveaway. They would randomly choose one lucky person.
00:00:20And they would give him a million. I hesitated for a long time and, silently, left a comment.
00:00:26Happy engagement! I wish you happiness. An hour later, when the water began to overflow
00:00:32From the bathtub, the ringtone sounded. Congratulations! You've won the prize!
00:00:40Chapter 1. I didn't die. That call saved my life. On the other end of the phone,
00:00:45The employee kept congratulating me, a smile in her voice. "Are you really that lucky?"
00:00:51Lucky me. I struggled to get out of the bathtub. The cut on my wrist had been
00:00:57Too deep. The entire bathtub was already stained a light red. Please leave us a
00:01:03account number. We will transfer the prize to you within one month. In addition, for a
00:01:08This year you can enjoy discounts at all Q Group businesses. I was supposed to laugh.
00:01:14But when I spoke, my voice was so weak it was barely audible. Thank you. But perhaps I won't be able to use it.
00:01:20There were two seconds of silence on the other end, and then the woman asked cautiously, "Are you..."
00:01:25Are you alright? Do you need help? My brain. Lacking blood. I was starting to feel dizzy. With difficulty.
00:01:32I barely got out of the bathtub, splashing the floor with water mixed with blood. Sorry,
00:01:37Could you help me call an ambulance? The ambulance arrived very quickly. In the morning I had just finished
00:01:43I had just returned from the hospital, and by nightfall I was back there again. The doctor in charge of me,
00:01:48At first, I deeply disapproved of my behavior of not valuing life. But
00:01:53After reviewing my medical history, she remained silent. She sighed. "I know you must be feeling terrible right now."
00:01:59But please, try to hold on a little longer. I looked at her, confused. Suddenly I remembered that someone
00:02:06He had said those words to me before. Only back then I was in a terrible state.
00:02:11I was incapable of even taking care of myself. In the end, I had no choice but to flee in a pathetic way.
00:02:17Ellen arrived right away. As soon as she saw me in the hospital bed, her eyes reddened.
00:02:22Lydia, are you trying to scare me to death? This morning, when we said goodbye, I had clearly promised her that
00:02:29She would accept the treatment well. However, given the situation at home, it was impossible to maintain the
00:02:34exorbitant costs. Ellen's parents had died five years earlier in that earthquake.
00:02:39These past years, she and I had depended on each other, using the savings we had put together before
00:02:45to open a flower shop. Barely enough to survive. When she learned of my illness,
00:02:51Ellen cried once. Then she dried her tears and said she would request a leave of absence from university.
00:02:56And I would look for a part-time job so I could take care of myself. But how could I dare to burden him?
00:03:01That? He was so young. He should be enjoying his beautiful youth at university.
00:03:07Not being dragged along by me. I'm sorry, I apologized to her. It's just that I'm too tired.
00:03:13Ellen started crying again. At that moment, outside the emergency room, a huge commotion suddenly broke out.
00:03:19It appeared that a traffic accident had occurred somewhere, and the injured had
00:03:24They've been taken to the nearest hospital. A nurse came to tell me that my bed is already
00:03:28It was ready. As we walked through the lobby, the news was playing on the giant screen.
00:03:33Recent. The Q family heiress, Alexia Q, spent a fortune and will celebrate her party in
00:03:39an engagement in two months on a southern island. In the interview, the reporter asked her
00:03:44Why had he chosen that time and place? The man, always cold and taciturn,
00:03:50She smiled slightly. Something unusual, because she likes it, because she likes it.
00:03:56I pressed my lips together, remembering the call I'd received not long ago. The voice of that employee.
00:04:02He was very nice. Besides, he was a good person. When he found out I had cut my wrists,
00:04:08She panicked for a moment and then immediately called an ambulance. All the way to the hospital,
00:04:14The call didn't drop. Over and over he kept repeating in my ear, "Don't die. Please."
00:04:19If he dies, what do we do with that million? He's the luckiest, luckiest person I've ever seen.
00:04:26I'm sure she'll continue to be this lucky from now on. I had wanted to thank her and
00:04:31I told him that his company was really generous, but when I thought about who his boss was, I couldn't say it.
00:04:37A commitment on a southern island. A random million-dollar lottery. Alexia. Really.
00:04:42He's still as extravagant as ever. Chapter 2. From childhood until now,
00:04:50I've always been very unlucky. When I was a child, I was taken to have my fortune told.
00:04:56The fortune teller said that my life would be full of setbacks and that I would have few family ties.
00:05:01At my tenth birthday party, I accidentally fell inside the cake,
00:05:06Contributing my first iconic, embarrassing moment to the social circle. On the last day of the exam...
00:05:11My first day of secondary school coincided with my period and unbearable pain. I took the exams.
00:05:16It was a disaster, and I didn't get into the prestigious school I had dreamed of. It seemed like at every turn...
00:05:21crucial moments in my life, I always failed. I didn't inherit my mother's striking beauty, nor her intelligence
00:05:27from my father. Back then, when others spoke about me, they almost always added a prefix.
00:05:33Ah, Alexia's childhood friend. Alexia's name always shone with a dazzling light.
00:05:39We grew up together since childhood, and our relationship was always very good. The day that
00:05:43We made our relationship public, and it even caused quite a stir on social media. Aside from that
00:05:49On a personal level, our families were old acquaintances. In theory, we were a well-matched couple. Until
00:05:56the year I graduated from college, when it was discovered that I was a fake heiress.
00:06:01That year, two women gave birth at the same time and, due to a nurse's mistake, the babies
00:06:06They were switched. And the true heiress and my biological parents had already died some time ago.
00:06:11time in a car accident. Since then, my world has been turned upside down. My adoptive mother
00:06:17She spent her days crying. When she lost emotional control, she even uttered words like
00:06:22Because I was the one who didn't die. My adoptive father would sigh every time he saw me there, in a tone
00:06:28Careful. He suggested I move out and live alone for a while. The gossip
00:06:33From the people, the strange looks from the servants in the house, one after another. All those things...
00:06:38They crushed me until I was breathless. Back then, my only salvation was Alexia. I didn't despise
00:06:45He didn't care about my identity or the malicious comments from outside. On more than one occasion he defended me
00:06:50in public. Expensive gifts came into my hands like water. As if I wanted to tell
00:06:55Everyone knew he was behind me, supporting me. I had also scolded him for being wasteful. But
00:07:01Alexia just hugged me. She buried her head in the crook of my neck and rubbed gently. She didn't...
00:07:06It matters. Let's see who dares to speak ill of you. We were so young then. Naive. Believing that the
00:07:13Love could overcome any obstacle. Until his family started pressuring him, forcing him to break up.
00:07:19with me. At that time, Alexia had just graduated from university and didn't yet have
00:07:24He had no voice or vote. During that period, he was always very busy. He followed the family arrangements and entered
00:07:30I want to work at the company. I'm eager to achieve results as soon as possible to earn the recognition of my team.
00:07:35family and to gain the freedom to decide about their marriage. On several dates. He arrived late, with the
00:07:41His face looked exhausted. I could tell how tired he was. So during the meal I did my best to
00:07:47Encourage him. But when he finally managed to squeeze out a joke after much effort and looked up.
00:07:52Alexia had already fallen asleep in front of me. Sitting up. Exhausted. Alexia was
00:07:58He was getting busier and busier. And between us, there were fewer and fewer conversations. He kept sending me
00:08:04Good morning and good night messages. Asking me if I had eaten well. But I started to turn
00:08:10Silent. Again. After being subjected to both open and veiled mockery at a meeting. I couldn't take it anymore.
00:08:16I hid in the bathroom to call him. But when the call connected, before I could
00:08:21I said nothing. I heard Alexia's tired but soft voice. What a coincidence! I was just thinking
00:08:27in calling you. He told me that the project he was in charge of had finally signed the contract.
00:08:32day. It was the first major project he had taken responsibility for since joining the
00:08:36company. I had worked overtime for an entire month for him. When success was confirmed,
00:08:42His father finally praised him. And his mother also softened her stance. Seeing that I still hadn't
00:08:47She stopped talking. She suddenly stopped. What's wrong? Did something happen? No. I tried really hard to suppress all
00:08:54The bitterness in my chest. I wanted to tell him that those people spoke in a truly hurtful way.
00:09:02Those veiled, disdainful glances were like a thick, soaking wet towel in winter. Clinging to me
00:09:08Body. Cold and suffocating. I wanted to tell her that I felt I couldn't take it anymore. But
00:09:13When I spoke, I did so in a light tone. What's going to happen to me? It's just that I miss you.
00:09:19How was it?
00:09:20Why should I dare to make him care more about me? When he was already trying so hard to be
00:09:25with me. And I couldn't help him with absolutely anything. After that day, I rejected all social life.
00:09:32For a while, I hated leaving the house. I started to fear other people's stares. I ran away every day.
00:09:38curtains in the house. My appetite began to decrease and, in just two months, I lost more than 10 kilos.
00:09:45When Alexia finally realized that something was wrong and showed up at my house to
00:09:49get me out
00:09:49I dragged them out of bed. Only then did I remember that we hadn't seen each other for over a week.
00:09:54Alexia asked me, "Have you had dinner?" I thought for a moment. No. "And lunch?" No. "And the..."
00:10:02Breakfast? Seeing that she was still going to shake her head, her face darkened. When was the last time
00:10:08What did you eat? I tried really hard to remember. I think it was last night. Uh, maybe at noon. From
00:10:14I honestly couldn't remember. Lately, my memory has been terrible. I wasn't just forgetting to eat. I was also
00:10:20I forgot to shower. I even forgot to reply to Alexia's messages. Clearly, I wasn't doing anything else.
00:10:26than being in bed. But I still felt tired. Terribly tired. Alexia me
00:10:32He carried me to the bathroom and personally helped me wash up. Afterwards, he returned to
00:10:37I insisted he eat. Chew well. Don't swallow it whole. But I really was
00:10:42Exhausted. One meal took me a whole hour. After eating, I felt sleepy again. This time Alexia
00:10:49He didn't leave. He stayed to sleep beside me. Between sleep and wakefulness, he hugged me and...
00:10:54whispered softly
00:10:55In my ear. Give me a little more time. I know you're very tired. Could you wait for me a bit?
00:11:01More? From that day on, Alexia moved into my house. I had bought the apartment at university. It wasn't
00:11:08Large. A living room with two bedrooms. After Alexia arrived, my life began to get more
00:11:14Regular. Every morning, before going to work, he would prepare my breakfast and lunch. And he made sure
00:11:20that he ate them on time. Every evening, after work, he would return home for dinner.
00:11:26He would take me with him and then go for walks and do some exercise. My physical condition improved significantly.
00:11:31visible. But Alexia looked increasingly exhausted. Until, during a meeting, she fainted in the
00:11:37The act was due to hypoglycemia. When I arrived at the hospital, Alexia's mother was already there. Upon seeing me, she frowned.
00:11:44I frowned slightly. I froze, uncomfortable and unsure what to do. Hi, aunt. I didn't
00:11:50He spoke harshly. He simply handed me a dossier. Inside were several marriage candidates.
00:11:56arranged that she considered appropriate, with very detailed descriptions of her family background
00:12:01and the connections they could provide. After all, he'd seen me grow up. He didn't say things about
00:12:07He didn't speak directly, but I understood perfectly what he meant. And you? What's wrong? I don't anymore.
00:12:13I had nothing. While I waited for Alexia to wake up, I thought about many things. For example,
00:12:19He had bought the apartment while he was at university. He didn't know if selling it now would mean a loss.
00:12:24For example, my adoptive parents had raised me for so many years. Although now,
00:12:29Because of the death of their biological daughter, they couldn't accept it at the moment, if I left. Would they feel
00:12:35sad? And for example, Alexia had already done so much for me, if I told her now that I wanted to break up.
00:12:41Wouldn't it seem like I was ungrateful? Break up. And how should I say it? Time seemed
00:12:48It became especially long at that moment. When Alexia woke up, I had already thought of everything. In
00:12:54The first second after opening my eyes and seeing myself, I hadn't even had time to crack a smile.
00:12:59When I speak. Alexia. Let's finish.
00:13:06Chapter 3. Silence reigned in the room. After a long while, Alexia slowly leaned back.
00:13:12And he sat up in bed. If you take those words back right now, I can pretend I didn't hear them.
00:13:18I shook my head. Alexia. Let's end this. Another long silence fell before me. I didn't dare to
00:13:25I looked into his eyes. I thought he had just woken up and might be thirsty. So I went to get him a glass.
00:13:31of
00:13:31Water. After putting the glass on the nightstand, I turned to leave, but he grabbed my hand.
00:13:37Behind me, Alexia asked in a low voice, "Is being with me so painful for you?" I didn't answer.
00:13:44When Alexia raised her head again, her eyes were red, with an almost pleading tone.
00:13:50He asked me, "Couldn't you hold on a little longer? Hold on a little longer? Even if it was just for him."
00:13:57Could I hold on a little longer? Alexia. I sighed. He was holding my hand very tightly, but I couldn't pull away.
00:14:04It was surprisingly easy for me. Let me go. Let me go. And let yourself go too.
00:14:10I've always been a very unlucky person. After my adoptive parents, I also lost
00:14:16Alexia. During the time immediately following the breakup, Alexia always worried about me.
00:14:21When I saw something I liked, I would buy it anyway and have someone send it to me.
00:14:26When I asked him, he told me that you can exchange gifts between regular friends too. Right?
00:14:32Yes, of course. I used to turn around and sell everything. I realized that wasn't the way to do it.
00:14:37I could continue.
00:14:38So I signed up for a volunteer teaching program in mountainous areas,
00:14:43with the idea of changing her surroundings and clearing her mind. The result was that, within a few months of
00:14:48As I arrived, an earthquake struck and I almost lost my life. Many people died in that earthquake.
00:14:54Among the rubble I found Ellen, who had lost her parents and relatives and had
00:14:59I was left completely alone. She was eight years younger than me and needed a legal guardian. So I,
00:15:05who had survived, I assumed the identity of Ellen's older sister, but even changing from
00:15:10identity. Bad luck continued to haunt me like a shadow. At 27, I was diagnosed
00:15:17Cancer. I didn't have much time left. And yet, now there was someone telling me that I was the most
00:15:23Lucky that I had seen. Chapter 4. A million, it really was. It was incredibly lucky. When
00:15:29Ellen found out and cried tears of joy. We have money to treat the disease. Yes, that's wonderful. Just when
00:15:36I needed money. Just then, someone came to give it to me. In the next room there was a
00:15:41A patient injured in a traffic accident. I saw medical personnel coming and going nonstop. It seemed
00:15:47that the person living there had a very unusual identity. After two days of observation, finally
00:15:53The doctor agreed to discharge me. However, before I left, he seriously advised me to insist.
00:15:59in continuing the treatment. The flower shop closed for two days and I lost some pre-orders.
00:16:04I apologized to each customer individually and promised them free flowers next time.
00:16:09The flower shop was just one block from the hospital. And many people visiting patients took advantage of it.
00:16:15to buy flowers. That day, as soon as I opened, I received a huge order. The flowers requested
00:16:21They were all the most expensive. Furthermore, they had paid a high courier fee, with
00:16:27the condition that they be delivered to a specific room in the hospital. I threw a
00:16:31I glanced over and, to my surprise, it was exactly the same room that had been next door.
00:16:36of mine. By the time I finished hastily preparing the bouquet, evening was already falling.
00:16:41Upon arriving at the room's door, there were two bodyguards outside. After checking
00:16:46They let me in. I pushed the door open and the person in bed was reading.
00:16:51Hearing the sound, she looked up at me. The instant our eyes met
00:16:56They crossed, and I froze, uncomfortable and lost. Just like years ago, I wasn't expecting it.
00:17:02I ran into Alexia there. It was the first time we'd seen each other in five years. But Alexia
00:17:07He didn't seem to recognize me at all. He just gave me an indifferent look. He withdrew
00:17:12She glanced down and turned another page of the book she was holding. I left the flowers there.
00:17:17Seeing that I was still staring at him, dazed, seemed to remind him of something. "Oh, thank you." His tone
00:17:23It was very soft. Thank you for your effort. It wasn't until I left the room that I...
00:17:28I realized I didn't know when I'd bitten my lower lip. In my mouth
00:17:32A faint, sweet, metallic taste wafted through the air. Just then, someone came to visit Alexia.
00:17:37As we passed each other, I heard her greet him familiarly. "How are you? Are you feeling a bit down today?"
00:17:43Anything better? Alexia finally put down her book, lifted her head, and smiled at him. No, not yet.
00:17:49No. I don't remember yet. So what will we do about the engagement party inside?
00:17:53Two months? The bedroom door closed and I couldn't hear what they were saying anymore.
00:17:58Inside. I just thought to myself, "What a beautiful girl." She was even more beautiful in person.
00:18:03She looks like she does in the photos. She must be his fiancée. As I was leaving the hospital, I heard the nurses...
00:18:08The staff member commented on the patient in room 416. They said he came from a very wealthy family.
00:18:15and was hospitalized for injuries sustained in a traffic accident. During the accident,
00:18:20He had hit his head and the bruise had put pressure on the nerves, causing him to
00:18:25partial memory loss. I had forgotten many people and many things. After the brief
00:18:30The initial shock left me somewhat stunned. So it wasn't like he was ignoring me on purpose. Alexia,
00:18:36I had truly forgotten. I lowered my gaze, into the depths of my heart. I didn't know if I felt relief or
00:18:43Sadness. Chapter 5. After that day, the flower shop business began to improve.
00:18:52Suddenly. It seemed that, since my cancer diagnosis, my luck had begun to change.
00:18:58On the winter solstice, I received several large orders in a row. When I finally finished
00:19:03It was already dark after work. Ellen lived in the student residence and wasn't coming back today.
00:19:09After tidying up and closing the shop, I hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go buy a cake. My
00:19:15His birthday falls on the winter solstice. When he was still dating Alexia, he always joked, saying
00:19:20that every year. When the first snow fell, I knew my birthday was near. This year
00:19:26That's how it was too. When I arrived at the pastry shop, they were about to close. The saleswoman looked at me
00:19:32with difficulty, and said that the last cake had just been sold. I felt a little disappointed, but
00:19:38Even so, I nodded. Just as I turned to leave, the saleswoman suddenly received a
00:19:43He called me and then called me back right away. Wait a moment. I turned around, confused. Then he told me that a client
00:19:49who had reserved a cake had just called to say that something unexpected had come up and she couldn't
00:19:54Come pick it up. It turned out to be a chocolate birthday cake with strawberries. Out of four
00:19:59inches. Not too big, not too small. Just the right size for me to eat by myself. It really has a lot of it.
00:20:05Good luck. The shop assistant smiled at me. I looked at the already packaged cake and felt that sudden good fortune.
00:20:10It was a little surreal. As I left the pastry shop, a car drove by on the opposite sidewalk, and the window
00:20:16It was slowly rising. I glanced at it without thinking. I froze for half a second and,
00:20:22Instinctively, I started running after him. On the way, I accidentally bumped into someone and
00:20:27I apologized immediately. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But my steps didn't stop. I didn't even
00:20:33I noticed the cake had become misshapen. At that moment, the traffic light at the intersection turned red.
00:20:39and
00:20:39The car stopped. When I saw the license plate, I slammed on the brakes. It wasn't that number. I was breathing.
00:20:45The air was thick. It wasn't him. The place where he had crashed seemed to suddenly start hurting.
00:20:51Tears fell for no reason. Then the girl I had bumped into caught up with me. Alarmed.
00:20:56Are you okay? Are you bleeding? I looked instinctively. It turned out the wound had reopened.
00:21:03Previously. No wonder it hurt so much. The girl insisted on taking me to the hospital, fearing I'd think that
00:21:08He wanted to get money out of me. I quickly told him I didn't need to pay the medical expenses. The hospital
00:21:14The nearest one was the hospital where Alexia was admitted. Upon arriving, the doctor returned to
00:21:20She saw me. That patient, an acquaintance, and she didn't know what to do with me anymore. I was still holding the
00:21:26The cake was squashed and I felt a little embarrassed. What an eventful birthday! When I came out after
00:21:31As I was bandaging my wound again, a figure appeared outside the emergency room who shouldn't have been there.
00:21:37It was Alexia. When our eyes met, I froze for a second and lowered my head.
00:21:42As if fleeing. Although deep down she thought she didn't know what he was doing coming down so late. The girl
00:21:47The woman I bumped into went to pay. I found a chair and sat down, thinking I'd wait for her to come back so I could...
00:21:52I transferred the money. A short while later, a shadow suddenly appeared beside me and a tall figure...
00:21:58He sat down. My body tensed. The hospital lobby. At night, it was still crowded. But
00:22:04I felt like I was sitting on pins. Until the person next to me suddenly spoke.
00:22:09The cake. Uh, I looked up immediately. I saw Alexia reach out and point at the box.
00:22:15of the cake I was carrying. Why is it sunken in? His tone seemed somewhat saddened. Ah,
00:22:20I moistened my lips. Uncomfortable. I bumped into someone unintentionally. The person next to me remained silent for two minutes.
00:22:26seconds. Then he spoke again. "Is today your birthday?" "Yes." I nodded slightly. "Happy birthday."
00:22:33Thank you. She congratulated me as if I were a stranger. At that moment, the girl returned.
00:22:39that I had gone to pay. And I immediately took her arm and transferred the money to her. When I turned around
00:22:44Then I saw that Alexia's fiancée, Vicky, had also come down. Alexia, don't you have even a little bit of
00:22:51Consciousness as a patient? What are you doing wandering around? I didn't dare listen any longer and I
00:22:56I prepared to flee in shame. But suddenly I heard someone say, "Lidia."
00:23:04Chapter 6. Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Fleeting images flashed through my mind
00:23:09Many thoughts. I turned stiffly and looked at Alexia. This is yours, isn't it? The expression
00:23:16Alexia remained calm. She pointed to the payment receipt left on the seat and smiled at me.
00:23:21Slightly. Your name is here, Lidia. I bit my lip and went to pick up the receipt. I lowered the
00:23:27I looked up and said, "Thanks for letting me know." And I didn't dare look at him again. When I left the
00:23:33Hospital, the snow outside was falling harder. When I got home, the soles of my shoes were
00:23:39My feet were soaked, and my socks were sticking to the soles. I lowered my head and changed.
00:23:44of shoes. When Ellen called, I was lighting the candles on the cake. The cake was
00:23:49Sunken. It didn't look very pretty, but it was still edible. Ellen, very perceptive, noticed something odd.
00:23:56What's wrong with your voice? Why do you sound so congested? Nothing. I sniffed. It's just that
00:24:02I'm so cold. It really was freezing when we got back. Ellen didn't ask any more questions. She just told me
00:24:09that I should bundle up and not catch a cold. After lighting the candles, he asked me to put the
00:24:14loudspeaker and, along with several of her dorm roommates, sang at the top of their lungs the
00:24:19Happy birthday. Thank you all. I smiled. At that moment, explosions began outside.
00:24:25Fireworks. I took a piece of pre-cut cake and went outside to watch. Upon hearing the noise,
00:24:30Ellen asked, puzzled. "It's not a holiday or anything. Wasn't it forbidden to light fires?"
00:24:36fireworks in the city? I watched the fireworks filling the sky and I put one in
00:24:40A big spoonful of cake in her mouth. Mmm. Maybe it's some rich young man giving her a surprise.
00:24:46The person she likes. Ellen giggled. Now that's romantic. Chapter 7. When she still
00:24:52We went out. I often thought Alexia was the kind of boyfriend who didn't know how to create romance. She wasn't
00:24:58He was good with words. He almost never said sweet things. And even in confession, I was the one who took the initiative.
00:25:04The initiative. Shortly after the breakup, I went to the mountains to teach as a volunteer. At first
00:25:10I thought it would be very difficult to adapt. But then I was so tired that I fell asleep every day.
00:25:15He barely touched the bed. Educational resources in the mountainous area were scarce. A teacher made
00:25:20It was the work of two. And on top of that, he had to be both father and mother at the same time. When one was busy,
00:25:26There was no room left to think about anything else. Not about love. Not about feelings. Not about false heiresses or
00:25:33Royal heirs. After correcting a few exams, one became obedient. Alexia continued
00:25:39He kept sending me messages. But I almost never replied. I always pretended there was no signal.
00:25:44and that he hadn't seen them. Eventually, he stopped writing. In the third month of being in the
00:25:49town,
00:25:50I turned 22. Very early in the morning, the phone rang. It was an unknown number.
00:25:57But the place of origin seemed very familiar to me. The phone rang for a long time. I didn't answer.
00:26:03But I didn't hang up either. When the ring ended, the screen lit up and showed a missed call.
00:26:08I stared at that number for a long time, until the screen went black. That series of
00:26:14The numbers were etched in my memory. When I arrived at class, the children had prepared a surprise for me and
00:26:19They celebrated my birthday with me. There were few teachers at the mountain school. That I had
00:26:24His coming to teach made the principal and the parents very grateful. Everyone did their best.
00:26:29Bacon and the finest cured sausages to treat me. There was no cake. So they made me
00:26:35I steamed a very pretty flower bun. When the children surrounded me asking me to order one
00:26:40I wish, they chirped like little birds. Teacher Lidia, we all love you. Teacher Lidia, will you teach us?
00:26:47Always. Teacher Lidia, what wish did you make for your birthday? I opened my eyes, smiled, and turned off the
00:26:54Candles with a single breath. If you say the wish out loud, it won't come true. I wished those children could
00:27:00smile
00:27:00always with such joy. After blowing out the candles, the teacher who had come with me as
00:27:06A volunteer helped us take a picture. It turned out great. I've already edited it. Upload it to your social media. I looked at the
00:27:12The photo was taken, and indeed, it looked very nice. A group of children surrounded me. I was sitting in the center.
00:27:19Smiling happily, so as not to reject their good intentions. I logged into my account after a long time
00:27:24I waited a while and posted an update. At midnight, the phone suddenly rang twice. An account
00:27:30A small, unknown person left me a comment. It's been a long time since I've seen you smile so happily. Now
00:27:36Are you free? I stared at those two lines for a long time. I wrote a reply and the
00:27:42I deleted everything until almost dawn. In the end, I didn't reply at all. When I woke up again in the morning,
00:27:48The system showed that those two comments had been deleted by the person who wrote them. Always
00:27:53He had been very considerate. He didn't want to put me in an awkward situation. So later,
00:27:59When the earthquake struck and I was trapped under the rubble, what I thought in my heart was,
00:28:04I wish I had replied to that message. That way, I wouldn't be so sorry now.
00:28:13Chapter 8. I began to accept the treatment. The doctor said my situation wasn't so bad.
00:28:19It had been detected in time and there was still a possibility of waiting for a liver transplant.
00:28:23Except there were many other patients ahead of me on the list, who might eventually arrive
00:28:28Whether a donor would appear or not. In the end, it depended on luck. When completing the hospitalization paperwork,
00:28:33I asked the nurse somewhat doubtfully, "Are there no more shared rooms? Why am I being asked?"
00:28:39Had they reassigned the same single room as before? The nurse
00:28:44She was taken aback by the question and stammered for a while. It's just that in our hospital,
00:28:48The shared rooms are quite cramped. Oh, I see. So there weren't any more.
00:28:54remedy. But the single rooms are a bit expensive. It's okay, said the nurse.
00:29:00Immediately. You can enjoy a discount. Ah. Seeing my puzzled expression, the nurse
00:29:06He continued. Mr. Cu made a donation to the hospital last week, and he also donated a batch of equipment.
00:29:12Imported doctors. You're the lucky one who won the prize before. Right? Of course you can.
00:29:17Enjoy the hospitalization discount. Oh. Although when they notified me of the prize they did say
00:29:22who could enjoy discounts across all industries under the Q group. But the hospital
00:29:27Did that count too? Who comes to a hospital thinking about taking advantage of hospitalization discounts?
00:29:33That said, spending less money was always a good thing. That's how I got back into the system.
00:29:38The room next to Alexia's. Alexia rarely left her room. We only crossed paths.
00:29:43briefly on the day I started. By the end of the year, he always seemed to be very busy. Several times,
00:29:50As I passed by his room, I saw him sitting in front of his computer on a video conference. That night
00:29:55On New Year's Day, Ellen had a dinner with her colleagues from the same major and would be returning very late.
00:30:01While I was alone in the room watching television, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
00:30:06As soon as it opened, confetti exploded, amidst colorful ribbons floating in the air. A huge
00:30:12A bouquet of flowers appeared before me. Happy New Year, old Q. Your colleagues have come to see you.
00:30:19Before I finished the sentence, they all saw my face and were shocked. One of them even
00:30:24"Damn, this is scary. What nonsense are you talking about?" At that moment, Vicky heard the commotion and came out of
00:30:32the next room. Seeing several people standing at my door, she made a face
00:30:37with resignation. Didn't we say it was room 416? It is 416, they all replied, looking
00:30:45They hurriedly called out the door number, until they realized they had made a mistake.
00:30:50The hospital, to avoid the number 4, didn't have room 414. That's what caused the group
00:30:57She was confused. The situation was quite awkward. At that moment, Alexia also came out
00:31:03from her room. After seeing the people gathered in front of mine, she remained silent for a
00:31:07Second, and then he turned around to go back to his room. Hey, old Q, that's not cool.
00:31:13That's fine. We heard you were hospitalized and it was really hard for us to find the time to come.
00:31:17Let's see you. And this is your attitude? Vicky was holding back her laughter. Come in, come in. I kept
00:31:23Standing in the same spot, not quite understanding what was happening. At that moment, the
00:31:29Young Rico Logan, the same one who had said, "This is scary," was the first to react
00:31:34And she turned to me. "Are you the patient in the next room? I see you are too."
00:31:39You're alone. Would you like to join our New Year's gathering? I instinctively looked at Vicky.
00:31:44She winked at me. Welcome. If just a moment ago they had been so elegant in throwing
00:31:49The confetti. Now they were just as pathetic picking it up from the floor. I felt a little
00:31:54She uncomfortably followed the group to the next room. Alexia's room was the
00:31:58The same size as mine, with so many people rushing in. The space became cramped.
00:32:04Immediately. Logan kept joking with Vicky. Vicky, you come to the hospital all the time.
00:32:09Anyone who doesn't know the truth would think you're up to something with old Q. Go to hell.
00:32:14Vicky replied with a laugh. Even if she had some intention. It would be with the projects that
00:32:19He has it in his hands. Furthermore, the accident happened while he was coming to my territory to discuss business.
00:32:25As the hostess, how could I not be a little worried? It was as soon as it ended. Everyone erupted in
00:32:31Laughter erupted. I stared at her in surprise. Only then did I realize I had been wrong.
00:32:37So she wasn't that supposed fiancée from the rumors. When she was dating Alexia, she was practically
00:32:43He knew everyone around him. But those who had come today, men and women,
00:32:48They were all strangers to me. It seemed that, in these five years apart, he had done a lot
00:32:55New friends. I accepted the juice Vicky passed me. Upon taking a sip, I discovered it was peach flavored.
00:33:01The one I liked best. At first, the group chatted about projects and actions. Then Logan,
00:33:07With a keen eye, she noticed that I wasn't getting involved and began to change the subject. They started talking about
00:33:13Alexia's car accident. Old Q. You weren't very considerate either. You had an accident and
00:33:19You didn't even warn your colleagues. If Vicky hadn't messed up, we still wouldn't have known.
00:33:24Upon hearing that, Alexia instinctively looked at Vicky. She instantly became flustered and immediately...
00:33:30He signaled to Logan, indicating that he hadn't yet signed the project contract with Alexia. That he hadn't
00:33:36I was afraid of upsetting the customer right now. Luckily, Alexia didn't say anything in the end. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.
00:33:42with
00:33:42Be careful and take one more small sip of juice. By the way, what illness does the young lady have?
00:33:47"Patient?" someone asked. I was speechless for a second and answered immediately. "Liver cancer."
00:33:53In the early stages. I'm waiting for a transplant. The others immediately fell silent. And then
00:33:59Everyone glared at Logan. Logan was speechless. That night, probably
00:34:05Someone wouldn't sleep well. I rushed to help him. There's still hope. After the transplant, you can...
00:34:11I live many more years. At that moment, Alexia suddenly looked at me. Do you have enough money? I don't
00:34:18I dared to meet his gaze and nodded. Yes, I have enough. I've been very lucky. I received a
00:34:24donation. I didn't explain what kind of donation it was. The others also began to comfort me, one after the other.
00:34:29Another one. I'm sure a donor will come. It's okay. If the money's not enough, tell old Q. It's
00:34:36He's very inclined to help others. Our old Q has the heart of a bodhisattva. Over the years he has donated
00:34:41A lot of money and it has helped many children in mountainous areas to study. The more
00:34:46They talked, but they kept going off on tangents. And Alexia's brow furrowed more and more. Just then
00:34:52She received a work call and left the room. I took the opportunity to cautiously ask.
00:34:58Have you known Mr. Q for a long time? Logan nodded. About four years. More or less. Then
00:35:05She sighed with emotion. When we first met him, he was as cold as ice. Who would have imagined that now
00:35:11would allow us to have a meeting in his hospital room. The others laughed and
00:35:15They agreed. And so, through their words, I came to know that Alexia I had never seen before.
00:35:25Chapter 9. Four years ago. Alexia first arrived at the branch in city N. At that time
00:35:31So, all sorts of rumors were circulating outside that he was an abandoned son. Because
00:35:37He was originally doing quite well at headquarters. But just when he was about to
00:35:42Upon ascending, he suddenly lost his mind and went to a mountainous area to participate in the work of
00:35:47aid after an earthquake. He not only personally participated in the excavation and rescue of
00:35:51survivors after the disaster, but even donated all the possessions he had to his
00:35:56name to support the reconstruction. When the money wasn't enough, he even called them one by one to
00:36:01He borrowed money from his childhood friends. When his mother found out, she scolded him.
00:36:07asking him if he had gone mad. And his father was deeply disappointed in him. Later,
00:36:13They immediately removed him from his post and sent him home to reflect. A year later, he was sent
00:36:19to the internal foreigner, to the branch in city N. Upon arriving in a new social circle, at first
00:36:25A group of wealthy young people were quite curious about this newcomer. But after
00:36:29When they spoke with him, they discovered he seemed like a poser. He always maintained a cold, "I'm not" attitude.
00:36:35"like you," and furthermore, he wouldn't accept any kind of approach. Little by little, the group lost the
00:36:41interest in that supposed abandoned son of the Q family. Until, on one occasion, they all traveled
00:36:47They traveled abroad together for an inspection. They were unlucky, and a snowstorm closed the city.
00:36:53They were trapped in the hotel for a week. The timing coincided perfectly with the Lunar New Year in
00:36:59China. New Year's Eve. The group reunited. Alexia, at first, continued to show
00:37:05That distant and unsociable attitude. After several rounds of alcohol, perhaps because they were
00:37:10Trapped together, the camaraderie had grown. Everyone became very sentimental and started talking
00:37:16of their romantic experiences. When it was Alexia's turn, she remained silent for a long time,
00:37:22Just when everyone thought the cold would return, he suddenly spoke.
00:37:26"We grew up together since childhood. We started dating as adults, but we broke up a while ago
00:37:31"One year." Logan finally found the cold man's human weakness and asked immediately.
00:37:37"Why did they break up? Weren't they childhood friends? Were you able to let that go too?"
00:37:43After that barrage of questions, the interest of the others was also piqued. Alexia seemed
00:37:49He was slightly drunk. He shook his head slightly. He thought for a moment. And then he said slowly.
00:37:55"Why? She hadn't smiled in front of me for a long time. She used to love to smile."
00:38:00In her memories, that girl, although she had always had bad luck since she was little,
00:38:05He was very optimistic. And he smiled a lot. Inside the room, silence fell for a few moments.
00:38:11seconds. Logan let out a "fuck." Just because of that? And you let her go like that? Yes, just like that. Still,
00:38:19He let her go. And then? Did they see each other again after the breakup? No. Alexia shook her head.
00:38:26She disappeared in that earthquake. This time, the silence was even heavier. Even Vicky,
00:38:32The person standing to one side felt he was about to break. This had nothing to do with
00:38:37which
00:38:37They had imagined at first. We thought he was a fraud. And he turned out to be a warrior of love.
00:38:43Pure. When he finished saying it, I smiled cooperatively. But deep down,
00:38:49I couldn't help but feel a deep heartburn. Later, at the branch in city N, it was
00:38:54climbing the ladder step by step until he returned to headquarters. His professional luck was incredible. And
00:38:59Now he has real decision-making power within the Q family. But even so, he continues to insist on
00:39:04He donates money every year to that mountainous area where the earthquake occurred. Two years ago, he even donated money.
00:39:10to build the first girls' school there. One of them sighed with emotion. A real
00:39:15living bodhisattva. If his ex-girlfriend knew, she would surely thank him for all this too.
00:39:21Names of the mountain children. Such a good man. How could he leave it like that? I nodded and said,
00:39:27Yes, that's true. Chapter 10. When it was almost midnight, the group planned to go to a bar
00:39:36to continue the party. I said goodbye politely, explaining that I was going back to my room to sleep.
00:39:42The moment the bedroom door closed, Logan slammed it shut.
00:39:47To the guy who spoke earlier. Are you looking for death or what? Saying things like that, anyone would...
00:39:53I wanted to die. What's wrong? The other one was still completely confused. So were the others.
00:39:58They stared, uncomprehending. Logan had been holding it in all night. Finally, he didn't have to continue.
00:40:03Holding back. As he was the closest to Alexia, he had seen photos of his ex-girlfriend. Didn't you see the name?
00:40:09Written next to the door of the next room? Of course I saw it. Lidia. Two seconds passed.
00:40:15Wait, that Lidia? Finally. Everyone reacted. Damn, that's her. The only one who knew.
00:40:22The whole truth. Vicky had witnessed the entire scene and was laughing like a madwoman. Finally, no more.
00:40:28He had to keep hiding it. Really. He'd been holding it in for too long. Damn Alexia,
00:40:35Just because he was the client, he dared to make such an absurd request. She had cooperated and
00:40:40It had been really exhausting. Chapter 11. As I left the room, I saw Alexia standing next to the
00:40:47Emergency exit. While taking a call, he saw me too. Just a moment. He said something to the
00:40:53The person on the other end of the phone looked at me, somewhat confused. "Is something wrong?" "No." I shook my head.
00:40:59Head. I only came to see what a warrior of pure love looks like. Alexia instantly became uncomfortable.
00:41:05Don't listen to that nonsense they're saying. The next second, it struck twelve. The roar of the
00:41:11The New Year's fireworks exploded right on time. Alexia opened her mouth, as if
00:41:16I wanted to say something, but I didn't hear him clearly. Taking advantage of the noise of the fireworks
00:41:21"Artificial," I smiled at her. "Happy New Year. Alexia." Alexia looked at me in bewilderment and took a step
00:41:28He moved toward me, as if wanting to get closer. I took two steps back. I waved goodbye.
00:41:34And I turned around to go back to my room. That night, after a long time, I dreamed again about
00:41:40Things from the past. When I started living with Ellen, life was very hard. I had to take care of renting
00:41:46a house, opening the shop, taking care of Ellen, and arranging her school transfer. When finally the
00:41:51Life began to gradually get back on track, but I again suffered rejection from the competition. In that
00:41:57Then, every few days new negative reviews appeared on the store's website. I had arrived alone at one
00:42:03I was in an unfamiliar city, with a minor child in my care. At first, I didn't even understand the dialect.
00:42:08local. Later, Ellen was bullied at school. When I arrived, she was standing in the office,
00:42:14with her hair a mess. The teacher told me that she had fought alone against three and that there was no
00:42:19came out worse off. The three girls on the other side were even more injured than she was. When they arrived
00:42:25The other party's parents, the first thing they demanded was compensation. I didn't have much money at that time.
00:42:30At that moment, I could only speak to them humbly and plead. After much effort, they finally agreed.
00:42:36to reach an agreement and avoid a serious demerit on Ellen's record. On the way home,
00:42:42Ellen walked silently behind me. I was mentally calculating the matter of the
00:42:46compensation and I didn't say a word the whole way there. Almost as soon as we got home, Ellen apologized.
00:42:52Suddenly with me. I'm sorry, I made you look bad. When I reacted, I rushed to comfort her. Of course
00:42:59No. You went up against three and didn't lose. I'm proud of you. Ellen looked up at me, her eyes
00:43:05filled with tears. But for hitting someone, you have to pay a lot of money. And we
00:43:11We're not rich as it is. Before he finished speaking, I shook his head hard.
00:43:16it
00:43:16You don't have to worry about money. That's for grown-ups. That's what he said. But really, I barely...
00:43:23I was just over 20 years old. I wasn't a mature adult. Later, there was a time when I really
00:43:29I had an emotional breakdown. I couldn't take it anymore and dialed that number I knew by heart. I regretted it.
00:43:35The moment the call connected, just hearing the "hello" on the other end, the tears.
00:43:41They had already fallen. I tried so hard to hold back my tears. The person on the other end, hearing no one,
00:43:48After talking for a while, she asked again. "Hello," Alexia asked again. "Are you okay?" "No,"
00:43:55Alexia. I'm not doing well at all. I miss you terribly, but I don't dare think about it. I didn't say anything. Just
00:44:02I heard the familiar breathing on the other end of the phone, until I heard his secretary's voice,
00:44:08telling him it was time to go to a meeting. What's up, young Mr. Q? Nothing. Before hanging up,
00:44:15I heard Alexia say for the last time. They probably dialed the wrong number. From that day on, I started to
00:44:21I often dream about Alexia. In my dreams, I hold her hand and tell her about many of the injustices I've suffered.
00:44:27and suffering. Alexia always listened to me in silence, gently stroking my head.
00:44:32You've been through a lot, haven't you? But when I woke up from the dream, I had to dry my...
00:44:38Tears again and pretending that nothing was wrong, in order to keep living.
00:44:45Chapter 12. I began to accept the treatment. At first, the physical reactions caused
00:44:51The medications were very strong. He could barely eat. When he wrapped up for the holidays
00:44:57In winter, she found a part-time job nearby so she could take better care of me. From that day on,
00:45:03The number of people entering and leaving Alexia's room decreased significantly. It seemed
00:45:08who had finally begun to truly focus on recovering. Sometimes, when we went out for a drink
00:45:13Sun in the hospital garden, we met by chance. On one of those occasions, on television
00:45:20The hospital re-aired the earlier interview. At first, Ellen only found it...
00:45:25familiar. After another chance encounter during a walk, he suddenly pointed to Alexia
00:45:30And he realized it suddenly. "You're not that bigwig who's going to celebrate his engagement."
00:45:34"On a southern island." I put my hand to my forehead. Powerless. "Seomandón? Really?"
00:45:40"I should watch fewer Sue novels." Alexia looked like a celebrity without a mask who suddenly
00:45:45She had been recognized by the paparazzi. When other passersby started to look,
00:45:50That man, who always remained impassive in interviews, gave, for the first time, a small
00:45:55She took a step back. When she reacted, she nodded somewhat shyly. Ellen became even more interested. "It's the first
00:46:02"The first time I've seen a real-life Seomandón." This is like a novel come to life. Celebrating the
00:46:07"A wedding on a southern island just because the person you love likes it, now that's pampering her."
00:46:12This time,
00:46:12Alexia's ears turned truly red. When Ellen left for her part-time job,
00:46:18He finally dared to approach me. The bench in the hospital garden wasn't very long.
00:46:23we sat down
00:46:24each at one end. "Mr. Q," I turned to look at him and asked Drede, "Have you been here that long?"
00:46:29hospitalized? How come I haven't seen your fiancée come to visit you?" Alexia Q's body was
00:46:35He stiffened for a moment. He answered in a low voice. "Well, she's quite busy." Organizing a party
00:46:42Commitment on an island shouldn't be too complicated. No, not that much. I've heard it's because
00:46:47The girl likes him. Yes, I almost laughed. "When did I say I liked him?" Alexia
00:46:53suddenly
00:46:53She turned and looked me in the eyes. Earlier she had said she liked warmer places. Again,
00:46:59When I said, "Wait." No, something didn't add up. I think I did say it; I looked away. Uncomfortably.
00:47:07I thought to myself, "How can this person have such a good memory?" That was almost
00:47:13Ten years later, and she still remembers it so clearly. When we had just started dating, he once...
00:47:19I jokingly said to Alexia, "If we're still together in 10 years, then let's get married." Alexia agreed.
00:47:25He thought very seriously and then asked me, "What time in 10 years?" "What exact date?"
00:47:31"Does January sound good to you?" "Of course it is." As soon as I nodded, I was going back home to start...
00:47:37Counting down the days. Her impatience made me laugh. "It's a long way off. Ten years is a lot. Besides,
00:47:44January is winter. How cold is it to wear a wedding dress? "I don't want to. I like something else."
00:47:49"Warmer." My original intention was to say that I liked warmer seasons. Who would
00:47:55Imagine if this man would change the concept and fix it directly in a warm place? With that
00:48:00I don't know how he managed to become such a bossy person, his capacity for understanding was lacking. I felt like laughing. And at the same time
00:48:06For a while, my nose felt a little acidic. Alexia, is this how you've lived all these years? Deceiving yourself
00:48:13to yourself in this way. Chapter 13
00:48:19Lidia. When I returned to the room, Nurse Sue, who was in charge of me, saw me and...
00:48:25you
00:48:25Their eyes lit up. Where have you been? Why weren't you with your phone? Oh, sorry. There wasn't one.
00:48:32I had just finished speaking when Nurse Sue hurriedly interrupted me. "Forget that. Just..."
00:48:37A notification arrives from above. A compatible donor has been found. Upon hearing this, who
00:48:43Alexia, who was next to me, reacted even more strongly than I did. Really? Is surgery possible?
00:48:49Today? Nurse Sue looked at him strangely and then turned to me. The notification just...
00:48:54arrive. I need you to give me an answer right now. You've been incredibly lucky. Actually,
00:49:00Since you were admitted later, you were at the end of the list. But of the two patients
00:49:05who were there before you, one suddenly got worse and the other was a burly man. The size of the
00:49:10The donor liver wasn't a match. Did you eat lunch today? No, I replied instinctively.
00:49:17Lately, my reaction to the medication has been very strong. I have no appetite. This morning I only
00:49:22I drank a glass of milk. The nurse glanced at her watch and smiled immediately. Then, perfect. It doesn't matter.
00:49:28We just need to wait for the fasting period. We can schedule the operation right now. Even after that.
00:49:33I finished speaking. I still could hardly believe it. I unconsciously turned my head to look
00:49:39I saw Alexia and he was in the same boat as me. So it really was just a matter of luck. I replied without hesitation.
00:49:44I hesitated. I accept the operation. Since the surgery was announced with such short notice, Ellen didn't have time to...
00:49:50to return on time. I asked her on the phone to come slowly. That nothing was wrong. The girl exploded
00:49:56Instant. What do you mean nothing's wrong? I have to see you as soon as you're out of surgery. I had gone to
00:50:02I was offered temporary work because the hotel promised to pay triple for working on New Year's Eve. Who
00:50:07I was going to imagine that the notification would arrive here just as she was getting to the hotel? When I
00:50:12They pushed me toward the operating room. Alexia kept reassuring me. Everything will be alright. Don't be afraid.
00:50:18Yes, I'm not afraid. At that moment, it no longer seemed to matter to keep pretending that we weren't afraid.
00:50:24We knew. Chapter 14. The operating room door closed. Alexia waited outside. For the first time
00:50:30She felt the hospital was a truly cruel place. After having her back after losing her,
00:50:36Now she had to endure another interminable wait. She tried to send a message to her
00:50:41assistant, but noticed her hands were trembling. It took a long time to get the message across.
00:50:46It would be sent. The assistant asked him if he needed him to come along. He replied no. He didn't know.
00:50:52How long had he been sitting in front of the operating room? Suddenly, the door opened and a nurse came out
00:50:58Hurried. Lidia's relative? Because of the New Year's Eve traffic jams. Ellen still hadn't been able to arrive. The
00:51:04The nurse couldn't find anyone to sign. Alexia stepped forward immediately. "I'll sign." But when she
00:51:10They asked him what his relationship was with the patient, and he froze. How should he explain it? They knew each other.
00:51:17for over 20 years. But at that point they were no longer childhood friends, nor a couple. Just,
00:51:23Mutual friends separated for five years. And the mutual friends couldn't sign. What's going on?
00:51:29At that moment, Nurse Sue, now free, rushed to the scene. After understanding the situation,
00:51:36He quickly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. The patient had prepared an authorization form in advance.
00:51:41Mr. Q can sign for her. The next second, Alexia hurriedly signed her name.
00:51:47The nurse rushed back into the operating room. Alexia asked the nurse
00:51:52Sue could see that authorization. It was the first time she had seen Mr. Q.
00:51:56who had made donations to the hospital, her eyes reddened. The authorization was
00:52:01Written in haste. But Lidia's handwriting was still clearly recognizable. When she returned it
00:52:07Nurse Sue saw that on the back there was a line written in small print. Alexia,
00:52:12Actually, your costume is terrible. But it's okay. I miss you a lot too.
00:52:21Chapter 15
00:52:22When Ellen rushed in, Nurse Sue had already left. Seeing Alexia waiting
00:52:27Outside the operating room, she rushed to thank him. But quite some time passed and he didn't leave.
00:52:33What was going on? Was even a patient in the next room so worried about
00:52:38Her sister's surgery? Ellen glanced at Alexia and saw that she had the eyes
00:52:43flushed. As if she had been crying. So sentimental? She looked away, intending
00:52:49to begin to pray. But at a certain moment, as if a lightbulb went off in his head,
00:52:55He spoke suddenly. Mr. Q, does your phone number end in 2420? Alexia didn't react immediately,
00:53:02But she nodded. Ellen jumped to her feet. She pointed at him, completely shocked for a few moments.
00:53:08seconds. So you're the moon. What? Alexia was totally confused. That's how my sister
00:53:15I had your number saved in my phone. Upon realizing that the man in front of her was the person
00:53:20that her sister liked. Ellen sat back down, dejected, but she never dared to call you.
00:53:26She would just look at your number at night and cry silently. Lydia thought she hid it very well.
00:53:31But teenage girls are incredibly sensitive creatures. Ellen had known that for a long time.
00:53:36It was a while before her sister was in love with the owner of that contact named Luna. The girl
00:53:41She sighed. What a shame, my sister likes you so much. And you, on the other hand, are going to get engaged to someone else.
00:53:47person. So what are you going to do about my sister? There's no one else, Alexia said suddenly. She looked at
00:53:54Ellen, completely serious. It's always been just her. You and my sister have known each other for a long time.
00:54:00Ellen was surprised again. She accepted your proposal, but she didn't tell me anything. Alexia didn't.
00:54:06She answered. She turned her face away. I haven't had time to propose yet. She paused and
00:54:12He added, "But we're childhood friends. From a very, very long time ago. They already loved each other."
00:54:19Chapter 16. Finally, the operating room light went out when I woke up in the intensive care unit.
00:54:25Intensive care. The first thing I saw was a light so bright it made me squint. Then,
00:54:30A figure appeared in front of me, blocking the light from above. Alexia was still wearing her daytime clothes.
00:54:36earlier. Her eyes were full of blood vessels, reddened from lack of sleep.
00:54:42He looked a bit disheveled. I wanted to laugh at him, but I couldn't. When the anesthesia wore off,
00:54:48It hurt quite a bit. When she saw me staring at him, Alexia pursed her lips. I argued with Ellen to
00:54:54Get this visiting appointment. What are you saying? Arguing with a little girl? Aren't you a little...
00:55:00Childish? This concerns a very important matter in my life. I had to take it seriously. Uh,
00:55:06What does that have to do with anything? Listen to me carefully. Okay, fine. Like that, without making a sound.
00:55:13some. We had a kind of silent conversation. From the outside, in the eyes of the
00:55:19Nurses. It seemed like Alexia was muttering things strangely. Talking to herself. Ellen
00:55:25She told me he hadn't proposed to you yet. I blinked. Alexia suddenly became a little awkward.
00:55:31Awkward. At that moment, something seemed to be happening outside. There was a small commotion. But the
00:55:36The soundproofing in the ICU was much better than in the regular rooms and didn't bother us at all.
00:55:41Absolute. Alexia took out her phone, checked the time, and smiled. It's already the Lunar New Year. She smiled at me and...
00:55:48He said. Ten years have passed. The time has come. The End. Extract Alexia. Chapter 1. The First Month After
00:55:55of the breakup. Alexia used to wake up startled in the middle of the night, upon discovering
00:56:00that Lydia wasn't by his side. Only then did he remember that they had already broken up. At first
00:56:06He couldn't adapt. When he saw something Lydia liked, he kept buying it and
00:56:11ordering it to be sent to him. Until his assistant told him that Lydia had sold it.
00:56:15All those things. He thought about it for a moment. And then he started transferring money directly to her card.
00:56:21After that, Lydia didn't even reply to his messages. She went off to teach as a volunteer.
00:56:26into a mountainous area. Alexia could no longer see her at all. And she had no way of
00:56:32to create chance encounters. He was always worried about her. About whether she was eating well when she was alone. About whether
00:56:38She slept well. On Lydia's birthday. Very early in the morning. He called her with a
00:56:43New SIM card. The ringtone rang for a long time. Lydia didn't answer. Alexia
00:56:49She understood the message and didn't call again. But later that night, she saw that post by accident.
00:56:55In the photo, Lydia smiled with such radiant happiness. So, far away from him, she could smile.
00:57:02That's how happy she was. Alexia let out a bitter smile. Chapter 2. When the earthquake struck.
00:57:08Alexia received the news immediately. Without the slightest hesitation. She canceled the morning meeting.
00:57:14She followed and set off that very night. Lydia taught at the only school there.
00:57:19When he arrived, the rescue efforts had already begun. It was the first time he had seen what
00:57:24It truly was hell on earth. Countless families displaced. Corpses of victims...
00:57:30Everywhere among the rubble. Even the air seemed permeated with the smell of decay. There was no
00:57:36It took time to process it. She threw herself wholeheartedly into helping. But she couldn't find her. There was no trace of Lydia anywhere.
00:57:42Nowhere. Days passed. Fewer and fewer survivors were rescued. And more and more
00:57:48bodies recovered. There was a moment when even the assistant felt that his boss was on the verge of
00:57:53Collapse. As if the next second I could do something extreme. Like follow her into death. So
00:57:59He was so frightened that, trembling, he called Alexia's parents to tell them. That day, the phone of
00:58:06Alexia had so many missed calls. But he didn't pay attention to any of them. Until, two days later
00:58:12Then, finally, some good news arrived from his subordinates. They had found someone who
00:58:17It could be Lydia. Apparently, one of the first survivors rescued after the earthquake. In that
00:58:23At that moment, Alexia had just landed. They crossed paths almost without noticing. In the surveillance footage,
00:58:30Lydia was holding a small girl's hand. She appeared to have suffered no serious injuries. The assistant...
00:58:36She asked if he wanted to send someone to track the cameras to find her. Alexia looked
00:58:41He stared at that figure he had so longed to see. For a long time, as if everything had been extracted from him.
00:58:47Her vitality vanished, her body suddenly collapsed. Let it go. Let her go. Extract Alexia.
00:58:56Chapter 3. The moment that call was connected, Alexia had already guessed who was on the line.
00:59:02On the other end. It was the new number she'd changed after the breakup. Her private number. The only one.
00:59:08A number only she knew. She said hello, in a low voice. There was no response from the other end. She just...
00:59:15She listened. Barely perceptibly. A stifled sob. She held it in for a long time. A very long time.
00:59:22time. But in the end, she couldn't hold on. Are you okay? Why was she calling him crying? And why? One
00:59:28Once the call connected, did she not say a single word? Had she suffered some injustice? In that
00:59:35At that moment, the secretary suddenly burst in to tell her she had to go to the meeting. The shareholders already
00:59:41They had arrived. It was her first day at the branch. She had to make a good impression. On the other side of the
00:59:46There was still no voice on the phone. He sighed silently. "What's wrong, young Mr. Kuh?" "Nothing."
00:59:54They probably dialed the wrong number. But deep down, she wished that call had gone through.
00:59:59dialed it again someday. Chapter 4. The flower shop had been closed for two days. She was
01:00:05She was sick. It was cancer. After the reunion, Alexia always found a thousand excuses for herself.
01:00:11It was just to see her once. Without bothering her. It was just to give her a little money. Because she needed it.
01:00:18It was just to bring him a little good luck. Without getting too close. That's all. There weren't that many of them anymore. That's all.
01:00:24It was. The truth was simple. He missed her terribly. Back when the distance between them was just a wall.
01:00:30from the hospital. Alexia felt he was becoming bolder and bolder. More and more brazen. Accident of
01:00:37Car. Amnesia. Chance encounters at the hospital. If this had been a series, it wouldn't even have happened before.
01:00:43He would have been annoyed to see her. But now, he was playing it with absolute seriousness. The day of
01:00:49Lidia's birthday. She had ordered cakes from all the nearby bakeries in advance. She knew
01:00:55She'd been very busy lately and would be leaving work late. It didn't matter. It was her
01:01:00Birthday. That day. He would make her the luckiest person. Through the bakery window.
01:01:07He watched her receive the cake with a happy smile. Inside the car. He couldn't help but smile too.
01:01:13But for a moment of greed, he rolled up the window a second too late. Lidia noticed the car on the other side.
01:01:19side of the street. Although the license plate had already been changed. Even so, after coming to a standstill one
01:01:25Second. Lidia ran after her. Alexia instinctively ordered the driver to accelerate.
01:01:30The driver was about to say there was a red light ahead. Wait. Stop. Lidia
01:01:36She had collided with someone. The car stopped at the red light. Lidia finally saw the license plate.
01:01:42clarity and stopped. From so far away. Alexia couldn't see her expression. She only felt that
01:01:48The small figure reflected in the rearview mirror was, at that moment, unbearably painful to see.
01:01:54She sighed silently. The cake had completely spoiled.
01:01:58What a silly girl! Chapter 5. Alexia. Warrior of pure love.
01:02:03Wake up now. Someone beside him was shaking him roughly. Alexia opened his eyes. Dazed.
01:02:09Then he remembered that they had been trapped in the hotel for seven days because of the snowstorm.
01:02:14It's already midnight. Make a wish. Logan said. Even though we're abroad. Let's keep the tradition alive.
01:02:20from home. But Alexia only felt a heavy head. What do I want? Are you asking me?
01:02:26How am I supposed to know what wish you want to make? Hmm. Alexia narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment
01:02:32Good time. So, may she always have good luck. Damn. As expected. A real
01:02:39Warrior of pure love. The others burst into laughter. In the end, Alexia smiled too.
01:02:45I didn't know where she was now, the one I was talking about. Or if she was even still alive.
01:02:50Good. At that moment, who would have imagined that the future would still grant them a reunion?
01:02:56Right in the tenth year she had mentioned. Chapter 6. Lydia. At 22 years old. She believed
01:03:02who was the unluckiest person in the world. Alexia. At 27. She wished she were the person
01:03:09more, luckier than anyone in the world.
