Chapter 4
Seven days,
Only seven days left, and the world forge Mathew forever
In the next moment, Dephine wiged every her tears, placed the photo frame face down changed her clothes, and left the house.
Apartment complex at Lake Ditka, Cait 290
A young woman looked at her in disbelief Ms. Walker, are you really willing to sell this place to us at half price?
Daphne gazed at the young couple before her, feeling a bitter ache in her heart
“Yes, half price.”
She handed them the keys, along with all the memories tied to that apartment
As she walked out of the complex, her expression remained calm.
Perhaps not many people knew that Matthew built his fortune from scratch
Back then, in that very apartment complex, she had stayed by his side. They ate pizza, watched games, and stayed up all night working on plans
After they got married, Daphne bought the apartment, planning to surprise Matthew on
their anniversary.
But now, none of that mattered anymore.
In seven days, she would forget Matthew completely, and the apartment would become
unnecessary.
The next day, around lunchtime.
Chapter 4
The three of them sat around the dining table, the atmosphere subtle and tense.
All Daphne had to do now was wait. Once the time came, everything would finally be at
peace.
She took a sip of her soup when suddenly, Charlotte clutched her stomach and cried out in
pain.
Matthew immediately stood up, rushing to Charlotte’s side, his eyes filled with concern and panic. “Charlotte, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”
Charlotte leaned into Matthew’s arms, tears welling up, looking even more pitiful.
“Matthew, I feel awful. Does this mean I won’t be able to attend our wedding?”
“No, of course not. Emma, get the doctor right away!”
Matthew quickly lifted Charlotte and carried her upstairs, completely forgetting about Daphne’s presence at the dining table.
After a long while, the villa was in chaos. Daphne, unfazed by the commotion, got up and
went back to her room.
Passing by the second floor, she overheard the doctor’s heavy words, “Charlotte’s symptoms seem like food poisoning.”
“Poisoning? Charlotte and I always eat the same meals. How could she be poisoned?”
Matthew’s eyes were filled with confusion and shock.
Lying on the bed, Charlotte’s face was pale, and her voice was weak. “Matthew… I…”
Her voice was faint and broken, making Matthew’s heart ache even more.
“Charlotte, did you remember anything? Did you eat something you shouldn’t have?”
The man sat gently beside her, holding her hand tightly.
From the doorway, Daphne watched the scene. She thought her heart wouldn’t hurt anymore, but it was still difficult to walk away.
