Looking around, he was shocked to find that all the bits and pieces of his five years with me had disappeared.
He searched the whole house like crazy, but could not find any trace of me, not even a strand of my hair.
It was as if I had never appeared in these five years.
Elmer sat on the ground with a pale face.
The hammer that destroyed my hand was still on the bedside table and my blood had dried on it, which pierced his heart.
In the silence, a text message popped up.
He hurriedly grabbed the phone. It was a message from my mother.
[Elmer, Erin is already on the plane back home. You‘ ve taken care of her for so
many years. There will be a wedding next
week. Come over for a drink when

Wedding? Elmer’s heart tightened suddenly and then he thought of the wedding of a relative I mentioned two days ago.
He was relieved immediately.
He quickly replied: [Auntie, I will definitely go over to congratulate you. When the time comes, there is something very important that I need to tell you and uncle in person.]
He had been dating me for five years and he was wavering because of Melissa and he didn’t dare to tell my family even when the wedding was approaching.
He felt that after the marriage, I would become his and my parents would have to agree even if they didn’t agree.
And he was confident that I loved him so much that even if I was involved with
Melissa after the marriage, I couldn’t bear to leave him.

Until now, he realized that he didn’t know people well. He liked a vicious woman who was two–faced for so many years and I suffered so much for him. He finally decided to compensate me with a grand wedding and give the Harrison Family a reasonable explanation.
But he didn’t know that I didn’t care about his self–righteous wedding.
On the plane, I left in a hurry and only swallowed two painkillers.
After the effect of the medicine wore off, my whole body was burning hot and my clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The kind stewardess noticed my
abnormality and saw that my wrist covered with a coat was hanging in a weird and twisted posture.
I immediately contacted the flight attendant to broadcast a doctor on the plane.
When I was conscious, I saw a tall and

vague figure squatting in front of me.
“High fever, broken wrist bone, prepare warm water, I have antipyretic medicine in my bag. Give me gauze…”
The urgent but orderly low voice seemed to have the power to soothe people’s hearts,
“You have a high fever and need to take medicine, open your mouth. Don’t worry, this medicine is sweet.”
I opened my mouth obediently and was fed with sweet liquid by a dropper.
It didn’t take long before I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the plane was already descending. Just as I was about to move, the person next to me held my hand faster than me.
“Your hand has just been bandaged, don’t move it.”
I turned my head and was stunned for a
moment. The man who helped me had a handsome face.

He wore a pair of gold–rimmed glasses, looking elegant and calm.
“Thank you, I will repay you.”
“Well, there will be a chance.” He smiled and didn’t wait for my reaction. “Let‘ s go together, I’ll help you down.”
I was surprised that I didn’t even say where I was going, how did he know to go together?
The man had helped me stand up, gentlemanly took off his coat and put it on
- me.
Until I saw the anxious look of my parents at the airport, I couldn’t control the grievances and sadness that I had been holding back all the way.
My mother hugged me in her arms with red eyes. “My dear daughter, I miss you so much. I’m glad you‘ re back.”
My father also turned his head aside and wiped his eyes silently.

After a while of greetings, I couldn’t escape the eyes of my parents. When they saw the thick gauze on my wrist, my father was furious and threatened to cut the
person who hurt me into pieces.
