Chapter 138
I was stunned for a moment. After suppressing the disappointment in my heart, I took a taxi to work. It was a rare day without any messages from him harassing me to go back to him.
When I got oll work, it started pouring again. I waited for an hour before I could hail a taxi.
Unexpectedly, the heavy rain affected visibility, and the driver couldn’t see the traffic lights at an intersection. As a result, the taxi was hit by a car that charged out from the side and then flipped over on the spot.
The immense impact made me feel like my internal organs were being crushed, and for a moment, I felt the arrival of death.
I tried with all my might to call out weakly to the driver for help, but I heard no response. Then I finally realized he was barely breathing.
The heavy rain continuously washed over the shattered car windows, and my cries for help were drowned out by the sound of the rain.
Blood was freely flowing from my wounds, and my body temperature dropped rapidly. As I gradually lost consciousness, the only person I thought of was still Antonio.
Fortunately, my phone was inside my clothes, and with the last of my strength, I managed to press the emergency contact button. The phone automatically dialed Antonio’s number.
It rang three times, but he didn’t answer. My tears mingled with the raindrops as I lost consciousness completely. When I woke up again, I found myself already in a ward, with Antonio pale–faced, guarding by my

bedside.
His chin was covered with bluish stubble, and he looked quite haggard. I closed my eyes directly, not wanting to look at him anymore.
His expression became panicked, and his voice trembled as he said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you called because my phone was off. I just got here. Mandy was given a critically ill notice, and she said she wanted to see me one last time, so I…”
“What does that have to do with me? We’ve broken up, so it’s your freedom to see whoever you want,” I replied.
Perhaps I really deserved it. After such a miserable lesson, I could finally accept the fact that I never had a place in his heart. The pain from my broken ribs made my forehead bead with cold sweat as I breathed.
He reached out to wipe it away for me, but I coldly said, “Get out. We’re done, and don’t appear in front of me again. Go back to Mandy.”
Antonio finally realized that he was going to lose me forever..
He hurriedly said, “I’ve gone back to see her. I didn’t expect that she would lie to me about this, and I won’t believe her anymore. I’ve made everything clear with her, and she’ll have nothing to do with me anymore.”
“Does it matter?”
My voice was devoid of any emotion as I looked at him like a stranger. His eyes were gradually filled with despair, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment. Finally, he begged, “Please give me one more chance, Jane.”
With my brows furrowed, I endured the sharp pain in my chest and said,

“Antonio, we’re over, completely and forever. Don’t make me hate you.”
His pupils trembled, and his hand, reaching out to me, froze in the air.
Meeting my eyes full of hatred, he finally fell silent. After a few minutes of stalemate, he finally gave up.
He turned and left the ward.
He seemed to have disappeared from my life, except for the daily and punctual delivery of meals at the ward door.
After being discharged, I returned to the company. When I passed by his department, I saw him writing a business plan with his head down. We became the most familiar strangers to each other in the company.
Even our work communications relied on emails, and this lasted for a whole year.
He thought he had hidden it well, but I could still notice his gaze on me during meetings. As time passed, it became more and more searing.
One day, a large bouquet of roses was delivered to my office desk, and he rushed to question me in a frenzy.
Looking at his crazy look because of love, I saw myself a few years ago.
I just said in a flat tone, “Yes, I’m in love. I’ll send you an invitation when I decide to get married. It’s the person who saved me in that heavy rain.”
After hearing that, he left in a daze.
The next day, I heard that he had completed his training and returned home. This was the best ending for us.
That day, my boyfriend and I discussed the date for our wedding. This

time, I wanted to be a happy bride.
The end.
