Chapter 1
My two–year aid mission to Alsatan ended, and my wedding date was scheduled for next month.
After performing quarantine, I returned home without informing anyone, to give my fiancé a surprise.
Hundreds of wedding planning books were piled on the table. To my surprise, he was the groom, but I was not the bride.
I ran to find him, but upon entering the hospital, I witnessed my boyfriend, the vice president of the hospital, proposing to someone else.
“Neil Francis, will you marry me? There will be a grand wedding for us next month!”
Doctors, nurses and patients throughout the hospital applauded and screamed.
Seeing his affectionate and expectant gaze,

I, who was exhausted and standing in the corner, dared not take another step forward.
Since I was not the one he chose, I wouldn’t appear in the wedding ceremony.
But after I ran away from the marriage, he looked for me like crazy…
The proposal scene decorated with roses was mixed with the smell of hospital disinfectant, but it didn’t make people uncomfortable.
Barry knelt on one knee, just like he had proposed to me two years ago.
However, the person standing opposite him was no longer me.
“Neil, marry me, okay?”
Neil covered her lips with excitement, and her other hand was stretched out
tremblingly.

The next moment, a sparkling diamond ring was put on her hand.

The two hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately. Even though the people around them were cheering, their kissing sounds were clearly heard by me.
I couldn’t help but stroke the engagement ring that Barry gave me before I left.
He once said that if I wore the ring he carved, I would be his wife forever.
As a result, the ring was so small.
Later, he made a red rope in person and sent it to me across the ocean, so that I could wear the ring as a necklace.
Maybe because the red rope became weak after the passage of years, it broke when I pulled it hard.
Without the rope to hold the ring in place, it instantly fell and rolled to Barry’s feet.
He glanced at the ring at his feet, picked it up, and threw it into the trash can.

It was like throwing away my ten years of deep affection for him.
After successfully proposing, Barry gave a nurse a hint, and the latter began to distribute wedding candies and gifts to everyone present.
With the blessing of all the people, the two walked past me holding hands.
I held the gift in my hand and hurriedly pulled up my mask.
“Barry, isn’t the wedding prepared for Mia?”
“Is she worthy of my elaborately prepared grand wedding? After working in a place where the condition is hard for two years, she must be ugly when coming back. Every time she video chats with me, I have no desire to answer it, for fear that I will
vomit!”
“Barry, if Mia comes back and finds out that I’m the bride, will she scold me?”
He scratched Neil’s nose lovingly.

“Since you’re my wife, I don’t think anyone would dare to scold you.
“Why not let Mia be your bridesmaid? She loves me so much, so she will definitely agree!”
“Are you willing to hurt her like this?”
“Letting her be your bridesmaid is enough for her. No matter what, I’m still her family member.”
The two kissed each other in front of me as if no one was around.
Barry didn’t realize the person wearing the mask was me all along, just like he didn’t recognize the ring.
Feeling awkward, I went home and took my luggage.
Arriving at the hotel, I called Steve, the captain of the medical team.
“Steve, I will continue to assist Alsatan.”
He was delighted yet puzzled. “Aren’t you

going back to the country to get married? Does your husband allow you to continue to suffer abroad?”
I gently scratched the red rash on my body caused by allergies. It was itchy, and my heart ached.
“I won’t get married… I will just focus on being a doctor and saving lives from now
on!”
Steve, who treated me kindly, immediately noticed something was wrong with me.
“You are welcome to come back and contribute to the medical field. Once you become busy, you have no time to think about anything else.
“Honestly, you’re the only one without a family member visiting you in the past two years. Even if Barry is very busy, he should come here once. If not, it means that he no longer loves you.
“If he doesn’t love you, why not abandon him?”

If it weren’t for the hundreds of wedding planning books and the grand proposal, I would tell Steve that Barry loved me deeply, as I did in the past with full confidence.
For two whole years, I constantly told Barry about my longing for him and begged him to come visit me, just like a fool.
I found it ridiculous after finding the wedding planning books.
On the way to the hospital, I once kept convincing myself that he only took good care of Neil because she was my young sister.
While seeing him propose to Neil, I could no longer deceive myself.
I had imagined countless times that Barry might fall in love with someone else during the two years of a long–distance
relationship.
But unexpectedly, he would fall in love. with my sister, seven years younger than me, and would humiliate me by letting me

be a bridesmaid to please her.
It took me half an hour to warm up in the shower.
Barry called me at this time.
“Mia, I heard that you returned to the country. Have you arrived home?”
