When I was twenty, Paul couldn’t wait to propose to me in front of my father and his parents.
Until an accident a year ago destroyed two families.
Somehow, Paul’s father found out that my father and Paul’s mother had a brief romance when they were young.
As a result, the two of them had a heated

Paul’s mother blamed herself for everything and took her own life to join Paul’s father.
Since then, Paul has resented my father and

uncontrollably.
The scene was chaotic.
Paul and Billy cooperated and killed the criminal.
But no one expected that before he died, the criminal stabbed the child in my arms in the stomach.
The look in Paul’s eyes when he looked at me was filled with unprecedented hatred,
“Didn’t I warn you not to follow me? Not to bother me?” he said.
“You insist on forcing me to forgive you, don’t
you? You killed this child! Lee, why wasn’t it you who died?!
