He opened the envelope and read the letter, word by word

Patrick, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this letter. There’s something I’ve never told you. After your parents passed away, it was actually me who anonymously donated the money to you. It was also me who asked my father to sponsor you and bring you to live at Walter Villa. You often tell me that you think you loved me earlier and more deeply. But I don’t think that’s true. Everyone 

thinks that I slowly started liking you after you came to live with us. But that’s not it. I liked you long before you knew. That summer, when I first saw you at school, it felt like a miracle. I don’t know whyyou had to treat me this way. You had promised me so many times that you would be good to me. I always wanted to know where I was lacking compared to Betty. Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was. Love is always so unreasonable. Michael is so much better than you, yet I still liked you, you, and not him. I actually had a feeling that I might not make it… But that’s okay. The child in my belly won’t have to suffer from your disdain and neglect. Patrick, I never want to love you again.” 

At that point, my body had already grown weak

By the time I finished writing, my handwriting was messy

But the bitterness in those words still seeped through the paper, reaching Patrick’s eyes. His wrist trembled slightly, and the letter fell to the ground

Tears hit the letter hard, blurring the ink

At first, there was just one drop, then another, and then they kept coming, unstoppable. With the letter in hand, Patrick wanted to see Heather one last time

But Heather had already reached her limit. After struggling for hours in the ICU, she still couldn’t outrun death

Before she passed, she gritted her teeth and said, I don’twant to seePatrickPatrick didn’t go inside but instead stood in front of the ICU, keeping vigil all night

He held a grand funeral for Heather and me

At the funeral, everyone wore solemn black attire

But he was the only one in a white suit

Michael, with his arm in a cast, stared at him in disbelief. Patrick, what are you doing nowy? Do you even remember today is a funeral?” 

Patrick hugged my portrait, a strange smile playing on his lips. I know. Today is Eliza’s funeral, and it’s also my wedding to Eliza.” 

The day Patrick and I were supposed to get married, the weather was just as beautiful

But back then, Patrick got a call and rushed off from the wedding without completing the 

ceremony

Dad was furious, and I was upset, too

But Patrick sincerely apologized, saying that his childhood neighbor, the old man who haa always helped him, was gravely ill, and he had to go see him

I was softhearted and helped him apologize to my parents

Michael, with his arm in a cast, stared at him in disbelief. Patrick, what are you doing now

Do you even remember today is a funeral?” 

Patrick hugged my portrait, a strange smile playing on his lips. I know. Today is Eliza’s funeral

and it’s also my wedding to Eliza.”

My parents, thinking it was pure filial piety, decided not to hold it against him. Later, I found out that Patrick hadn’t gone to care for his neighbor at all

He had gone to see his old flame, Betty, who had suddenly fallen ill

At the time, I was full of regret and kept thinking about holding another wedding

But each time, Patrick would brush it off. How troublesome. Isn’t one enough?” 

Now, though, I had turned into nothing but a handful of ashes, and only then did Patrick 

remember he wanted to hold a wedding with me

Unfortunately, what I had once desperately wanted, I no longer cared for

I watched coldly as Patrick acted like a madman, holding a ceremony for my portrait, and surprisingly, I felt no emotional stir

The boy who once filled my heart with love was long gone

As Heather had said, he would forever be my enemy, someone I would loathe for the rest of 

my life

The guests were horrified, but none dared speak out

Only Michael was jumping around, urging Patrick not to disrespect my portrait, until the bodyguards dragged him out

Patrick got his wish, kissing my photo in front of everyone

The scene was so disturbing it sent a chill down everyone’s spine

At the end of this shocking funeral and wedding, several police officers stormed in

With serious faces, they presented Patrick with a warrant. Mr. Rollins, you are suspected of 

involvement in a brutal murder case. Please come with us.” 

Patrick wasn’t surprised in the slightest

The man who had risen from humble beginnings, overcoming hardship and climbing to peak of power through his relentless efforts, smiled and gently held my portrait. He asked the police, almost tenderly, Can I take my wife with me?” 

Even the seasoned officers were visibly shaken, a chill running down their spines
